Spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy (SCAN 1) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by a specific point mutation (c.1478A>G, p.H493R) in the tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase (TDP1) gene. Functional and genetic studies suggest that this mutation, which disrupts the active site of the Tdp1 enzyme, causes disease by a combination of decreased catalytic activity and stabilization of the normally transient covalent Tdp1-DNA intermediate. This covalent reaction intermediate can form during the repair of stalled topoisomerase I-DNA adducts or oxidatively damaged bases at the 3' end of the DNA at a strand break. However, our current understanding of the biology of Tdp1 function in humans is limited and does not allow us to fully elucidate the disease mechanism.
脊髓小脑共济失调伴轴索性神经病(SCAN1)是一种常染色体隐性遗传病,由酪氨酰-DNA 磷酸二酯酶(TDP1)基因的特定点突变(c.1478A>G,p.H493R)引起。功能和遗传研究表明,这种突变破坏了 Tdp1 酶的活性位点,通过降低催化活性和稳定正常瞬态 Tdp1-DNA 中间产物的组合导致疾病。这种共价反应中间物可以在拓扑异构酶 I-DNA 加合物或 DNA 链断裂处 3' 末端氧化损伤碱基的修复过程中形成。然而,我们目前对 Tdp1 在人类中的功能生物学的理解是有限的,无法完全阐明疾病机制。
