Characterizing glucokinase variant mechanisms using a multiplexed abundance assay

ABSTRACT: Amino acid substitutions can perturb protein activity in multiple ways. Understanding their mechanistic basis may pinpoint how residues contribute to protein function. Here, we characterize the mechanisms of human glucokinase (GCK) variants, building on our previous comprehensive study on GCK variant activity. We assayed the abundance of 95\% GCK missense and nonsense variants, and found that 59\% of hypoactive variants have a decreased cellular abundance. By combining our abundance scores with predictions of protein thermodynamic stability, we identify residues important for GCK metabolic stability and conformational dynamics. These residues could be targeted to modulate GCK activity, and thereby affect glucose homeostasis.

Multiplexed assessment of human glucokinase variant activity

Project description:Diabetes is a complex genetic disease affecting millions of people worldwide. A common monogenic form of diabetes is glucokinase (GCK) maturity-onset diabetes of the young (GCK-MODY), which is caused by heterozygous inactivating variants in the gene encoding GCK. GCK catalyzes the phosphorylation of glucose and is known as the pancreatic glucose sensor. Patients with GCK-MODY, in contrast to other diabetics, often do not require treatment but are frequently misdiagnosed and treated unnecessarily. Genetic testing can prevent this, but is hampered by the challenge of interpreting genetic variants. To address this challenge, we generated a comprehensive map of human GCK variant activity. The activity map includes 97% of the possible missense and nonsense variants and correlate with in vitro catalytic efficiency, fasting glucose levels in patients and evolutionary conservation analysis. Activity scores include both hyper- and hypoactive variants.

A stem cell model of diabetes due to glucokinase deficiency

Project description:Diabetes is a disorder characterized by loss of beta cell mass and/or beta cell function, leading to deficiency of insulin relative to metabolic need. To determine whether stem cell derived-beta cells faithfully reflect the phenotypes of a diabetic subject, we generated induced pluripotent stem cells from diabetic subjects (MODY2) with heterozygous loss-of-function of the gene encoding glucokinase (GCK). These stem cells differentiated into beta cells with an efficiency comparable to controls, and expressed markers of mature beta cells, urocotin-3 and zinc transporter 8 upon transplantation into mice. While insulin secretion in response to arginine or other secretagogues was identical to cells from healthy controls, GCK mutant beta cells required higher glucose levels to stimulate insulin secretion. Importantly this glucose-specific phenotype was fully reverted upon gene sequence correction by homologous recombination. Our results demonstrate that stem cell-derived beta cells reflect beta cell-autonomous phenotypes of MODY2 subjects, providing a platform for mechanistic analysis of specific genotypes on beta cell function. Induced pluripotent stem cells with munations in the glucokinase gene were differentiationed into pancreas cells using published protocol (D'Amour et al, 2006) with certain modifications. 1 million cells(fibroblast or stem cells or differentiated pancreatic cells) was used for RNA extraction and labeling using the Illumina total prep RNA amplification kit.

Citrullination of glucokinase is linked to autoimmune diabetes

Project description:Inflammation, including reactive oxygen species and inflammatory cytokines in tissues amplify various post-translational modifications (PTMs) of self-proteins. A number of PTMs have been identified as autoimmune biomarkers in the initiation and progression of Type 1 diabetes (T1D). In this study, we have identified the citrullination of pancreatic glucokinase (GK) as a result of inflammation, triggering autoimmunity and affecting GK biological functions. Glucokinase is expressed in hepatocytes to regulate glycogen synthesis, and in pancreatic beta cells as a glucose sensor to initiate glycolysis and insulin signaling. We identify autoantibodies and autoreactive CD4+ T cells to glucokinase epitopes in the circulation of T1D patients and NOD mice. Finally, citrullination alters GK biologic activity (Km) and suppresses glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Our studies define glucokinase as a T1D biomarker, providing new insights of how inflammation drives PTMs to create both neoautoantigens and affect beta cell metabolism.

Disentangling the mutational effects on protein stability and interaction of human MLH1

Project description:Missense mutations can have diverse effects on proteins, depending on their location within the protein and the specific amino acid substitution. Mutations in the DNA mismatch repair gene MLH1 are associated with Lynch syndrome, yet the underlying mechanism of most disease-causing mutations remain elusive. To address this gap, we aim to disentangle the mutational effects on two essential properties for MLH1 function: protein stability and protein-protein interaction. We systematically examine the cellular abundance and interaction with PMS2 of 4839 (94%) MLH1 variants in the C-terminal domain. Our combined data shows that most MLH1 variants lose interaction with PMS2 due to reduced cellular abundance. However, substitutions to charged residues in the canonical interface lead to reduced interaction with PMS2. Unexpectedly, we also identify a distal region in the C-terminal domain of MLH1 where substitutions cause both decreased and increased binding with PMS2. Our data successfully distinguish benign from pathogenic MLH1 variants and correlate with thermodynamic stability predictions and evolutionary conservation. This work provides mechanistic insights into variant consequences and may help interpret MLH1 variants.
