P4-ATPases flip lipids from the exoplasmic to cytoplasmic leaflet of cell membranes, a property crucial for many biological processes. Mutations in P4-ATPases are associated with severe inherited and complex human disorders. We determined the expression, localization and ATPase activity of four variants of ATP8A2, the P4-ATPase associated with the neurodevelopmental disorder known as cerebellar ataxia, impaired intellectual development and disequilibrium syndrome 4 (CAMRQ4). Two variants, G447R and A772P, harboring mutations in catalytic domains, expressed at low levels and mislocalized in cells. In contrast, the E459Q variant in a flexible loop displayed wild-type expression levels, Golgi-endosome localization and ATPase activity. The R1147W variant expressed at 50% of wild-type levels but showed normal localization and activity. These results indicate that the G447R and A772P mutations cause CAMRQ4 through protein misfolding. The E459Q mutation is unlikely to be causative, whereas the R1147W may display a milder disease phenotype. Using various programs that predict protein stability, we show that there is a good correlation between the experimental expression of the variants and in silico stability assessments, suggesting that such analysis is useful in identifying protein misfolding disease-associated variants.
P4 - ATP酶将脂质从细胞膜的细胞外侧小叶翻转至细胞质小叶,这一特性对许多生物过程至关重要。P4 - ATP酶的突变与严重的遗传性和复杂的人类疾病相关。我们测定了ATP8A2的四种变体的表达、定位和ATP酶活性,ATP8A2是一种与神经发育障碍相关的P4 - ATP酶,该神经发育障碍被称为小脑共济失调、智力发育受损和失衡综合征4(CAMRQ4)。两种变体G447R和A772P在催化结构域中存在突变,表达水平低且在细胞中定位错误。相比之下,柔性环中的E459Q变体表现出野生型表达水平、高尔基体 - 内体定位和ATP酶活性。R1147W变体的表达水平为野生型的50%,但显示正常的定位和活性。这些结果表明,G447R和A772P突变通过蛋白质错误折叠导致CAMRQ4。E459Q突变不太可能是致病原因,而R1147W可能表现出较轻的疾病表型。使用各种预测蛋白质稳定性的程序,我们表明变体的实验表达与计算机模拟稳定性评估之间存在良好的相关性,这表明此类分析有助于识别与蛋白质错误折叠疾病相关的变体。
