Two disease-associated missense mutations in the sialin gene (G328E and G409E) have recently been identified in patients with lysosomal free sialic acid storage disease. We have assessed the effect of these mutations and find complete loss of measurable transport activity with both and impaired trafficking of the G409E protein. These results suggest that the two residues are important for proper function of sialin and confirm the association of loss of transport with disease causative mutations.
最近在溶酶体游离唾液酸贮积症患者中发现了唾液酸蛋白基因的两个疾病相关错义突变(G328E和G409E)。我们评估了这些突变的影响,发现两者均导致可测量的转运活性完全丧失,并且G409E蛋白的运输受损。这些结果表明这两个残基对唾液酸蛋白的正常功能很重要,并证实了转运功能丧失与疾病致病突变之间的关联。
