Site saturation mutagenesis of 500 human protein domains

ABSTRACT: Missense variants that change the amino acid sequences of proteins cause one third of human genetic diseases. Tens of millions of missense variants exist in the current human population, with the vast majority having unknown functional consequences. Here we present the first large-scale experimental analysis of human missense variants. Using DNA synthesis and cellular selection experiments we quantify the impact of >500,000 variants on the abundance of >500 human protein domains. This dataset, Domainome 1.0, reveals that >60% of disease-causing variants destabilize proteins. The contribution of stability to protein fitness varies across proteins and diseases, and is particularly important in recessive disorders. Combining experimental stability measurements with large language models we annotate functionally important sites across domains. Fitting energy models to the data demonstrates the conservation of mutation effects in homologous domains and allows stability to be accurately predicted for entire domain families. Domainome 1.0 demonstrates the feasibility of assaying human protein variant effects at scale and provides a large consistent reference dataset for clinical variant interpretation and the training and benchmarking of computational methods.

Deep mutational scanning reveals a tight correlation between protein degradation and toxicity of thousands of non-native aspartoacylase protein variants

Project description:When the structural stability of a protein is compromised, the protein may form non-native interactions with other cell proteins and thus becomes a hazard to the cell. To mitigate this danger, destabilized proteins are targeted by the cellular protein quality control (PQC) network, which either corrects the folding defect or targets the protein for degradation. However, the details of how the protein folding and degradation systems collaborate to combat potentially toxic non-native proteins are unknown. To address this issue, we performed systematic studies on destabilized variants of the cytosolic aspartoacylase, ASPA, where loss-of-function variants are linked to Canavan’s disease, an autosomal recessive and lethal neurological disorder, characterized by the spongy degeneration of the white matter in the brain. Using Variant Abundance by Massively Parallel sequencing (VAMP-seq), we determined the abundance of 6152 out of the 6260 (~98%) possible single-site missense and nonsense ASPA variants in cultured human cells. The majority of the low abundance ASPA variants are degraded through the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) and become toxic upon prolonged expression. Variant cellular abundance data correlates with predicted thermodynamic stability, evolutionary conservation, and separates most known disease-linked variants from benign variants. Systematic mapping of degradation signals (degrons) shows that inherent primary degrons in ASPA are located in buried regions, and reveals that the wild-type ASPA C-terminal region functions as a degron. Collectively, our data can be used to interpret Canavan’s disease variants and also offer mechanistic insight into how ASPA missense variants are targeted by the PQC system. These are essential steps towards future implementation of precision medicine for Canavan’s disease.

Characterizing glucokinase variant mechanisms using a multiplexed abundance assay

Project description: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.

Assessment of Variant Abundance by Massively Parallel Sequencing for PTEN and TPMT

Project description:Determining the pathogenicity of human genetic variants is a critical challenge, and functional assessment is often the only option. Experimentally characterizing millions of possible missense variants in thousands of clinically important genes will likely require generalizable, scalable assays. Here we describe Variant Abundance by Massively Parallel Sequencing (VAMP-seq), which measures the effects of thousands of missense variants of a protein on intracellular abundance in a single experiment. We applied VAMP-seq to quantify the abundance of many thousands of single amino acid variants of two proteins, PTEN and TPMT, in which functional variants are clinically actionable.

Multidimensional PTEN missense variant analysis reveals variant subgroups including potential dominant negatives

Project description:Determining the pathogenicity of human genetic variants is a critical challenge, and functional assessment is often the only option. Experimentally characterizing millions of possible missense variants in thousands of clinically important genes will likely require generalizable, scalable assays. We previously developed Variant Abundance by Massively Parallel Sequencing (VAMP-seq), which measures the effects of thousands of missense variants of a protein on intracellular abundance in a single experiment. Here, we reapplied VAMP-seq to quantify the abundances of additional PTEN missense variants which were missing from the original experiment.

DNA binding analysis of rare variants in homeodomains reveals homeodomain specificity-determining residues

Project description:Homeodomains (HDs) are the second largest class of DNA binding domains (DBDs) in eukaryotic sequence-specific transcription factors (TFs) and are the TF structural class with the largest number of disease mutations in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD). Despite numerous structural studies and large-scale analyses of HD DNA binding specificity, HD-DNA recognition is still not fully understood. Here, we analyzed 92 human HD mutants, including disease-associated variants and variants of unknown significance (VUS), for their effects on DNA binding activity. Many of the variants altered DNA binding affinity and/or specificity. Structural analysis identified 14 novel specificity-determining positions, 5 of which do not contact DNA. The same missense substitution at analogous positions within different HDs exhibited different effects on DNA binding activity. Variant effect prediction tools perform moderately well in distinguishing variants with altered DNA binding affinity, but poorly in identifying those with altered binding specificity. Our results highlight the need for biochemical assays of TF coding variants and promote dozens of variants for further investigations into their pathogenicity and the development of clinical diagnostics and precision therapies.

A mutational atlas for Parkin

Project description:More than half of disease-causing missense variants are thought to lead to protein degradation, but the molecular mechanism of how these variants are recognized by the cell remains enigmatic. To approach this issue we have applied deep mutational scanning experiments to test the degradation of thousands of missense protein variants in large multiplexed experiments in cultured human cells. As a model protein we selected the ubiquitin-protein ligase Parkin, where known missense variants result in an autosomal recessive early onset Parkinsonism. The resulting mutational map comprises 9219 out of the 9300 (>99%) possible single-amino-acid substitution and nonsense Parkin variants. With a few notable exceptions, the majority of the destabilizing mutations are located within the structured domains of the protein, while the flexible linker regions are more tolerant to mutations. The cellular abundance data correlate with Parkin structural stability, evolutionary conservation, and separates known disease-linked variants from benign variants. Systematic mapping of degradation signals (degrons) shows that inherent primary degrons in Parkin largely overlap with regions that are highly sensitive to mutations. We identify a degron region proximal to the ACT element, which is enhanced by substitutions to hydrophobic residues. The vast majority of unstable Parkin variants are degraded through the ubiquitin-proteasome system and are stabilized at lowered temperatures. In conclusion, in addition to providing a diagnostic tool for rare genetic disorders, deep mutational scanning technologies have the potential to reveal both protein specific and general information on the specificity of the protein quality control network and the ubiquitin-proteasome system.

Multiplexed assay of variant effect reveals residues of functional importance in the BRCA1 coiled-coil and serine cluster domains

Project description:Delineating functionally normal variants from functionally abnormal variants in tumor suppressor proteins is critical for cancer surveillance, prognosis, and treatment options. BRCA1 is a protein that has many variants of uncertain significance which are not yet classified as functionally normal or abnormal. In vitro functional assays can be used to identify the functional impact of a variant when the variant has not yet been categorized through clinical observation. Here we employ a homology-directed repair (HDR) reporter assay to evaluate over 300 missense and nonsense BRCA1 variants between amino acid residues 1280 and 1576, which encompasses the coiled-coil and serine cluster domains. Functionally abnormal variants tended to cluster in residues known to interact with PALB2, which is critical for homology-directed repair. Multiplexed results were confirmed by singleton assay and by ClinVar database variant interpretations. Comparison of multiplexed results to designated benign or likely benign or pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in the ClinVar database yielded 100% specificity and 100% sensitivity of the multiplexed assay. Clinicians can reference the results of this functional assay for help in guiding cancer treatment and surveillance options. These results are the first to evaluate this domain of BRCA1 using a multiplexed approach and indicate the importance of this domain in the DNA repair process.

Oligogenic inheritance of congenital heart disease involving a NKX2-5 modifier [mouse]

Project description:Complex genetic inheritance is thought to underlie many human diseases, yet experimental proof of this model has been elusive. Here, we show that a human congenital heart defect, left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC), can be caused by a combination of rare, inherited heterozygous missense single nucleotide variants. Whole exome sequencing of a nuclear family revealed novel single nucleotide variants of MYH7 and MKL2 in an asymptomatic father while the offspring with severe childhood-onset LVNC harbored an additional missense variant in the cardiac transcription factor, NKX2-5, inherited from an unaffected mother. Mice bred to compound heterozygosity for the orthologous missense variants in Myh7 and Mkl2 had mild cardiac pathology; the additional inheritance of the Nkx2-5 variant yielded a more severe LVNC-like phenotype in triple compound heterozygotes. RNA sequencing identified genes associated with endothelial and myocardial development that were dysregulated in hearts from triple heterozygote mice and human induced pluripotent stem cell–derived cardiomyocytes harboring the three variants, with evidence for NKX2-5’s contribution as a modifier on the molecular level. These studies demonstrate that the deployment of efficient gene editing tools can provide experimental evidence for complex inheritance of human disease.
