Gain-of-function mutations in TRPM4 cause autosomal dominant isolated cardiac conduction disease.

BACKGROUND Isolated cardiac conduction block is a relatively common condition in young and elderly populations. Genetic predisposing factors have long been suspected because of numerous familial case reports. Deciphering genetic predisposing factors of conduction blocks may give a hint at stratifying conduction block carriers in a more efficient way. METHODS AND RESULTS One Lebanese family an...

Allele-specific silencing of mutant p53 attenuates dominant-negative and gain-of-function activities

Many p53 hotspot mutants not only lose the transcriptional activity, but also show dominant-negative (DN) and oncogenic gain-of-function (GOF) activities. Increasing evidence indicates that knockdown of mutant p53 (mutp53) in cancer cells reduces their aggressive properties, suggesting that survival and proliferation of cancer cells are, at least partially, dependent on the presence of mutp53. ...

A Modified Screening System for Loss-of-Function and Dominant Negative Alleles of Essential MCMV Genes

Inactivation of gene products by dominant negative mutants is a valuable tool to assign functions to yet uncharacterized proteins, to map protein-protein interactions or to dissect physiological pathways. Detailed functional and structural knowledge about the target protein would allow the construction of inhibitory mutants by targeted mutagenesis. Yet, such data are limited for the majority of...

p53 from complexity to simplicity: mutant p53 stabilization, gain-of-function, and dominant-negative effect.

Increasing the complexity of their models, p53s are stabilized either in order to function (wt p53) or due to the loss of function (mutant p53) with acquiring a mysterious prion-like ability to drive the normal p53 into the abnormal conformation to gain new functions. As already recognized, the loss of trans-activating function leads to a stabilization of mutant p53 because of the disappearance...

Autosomal dominant IFIH1 gain-of-function mutations cause Aicardi-Goutières syndrome.

Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome is caused by IFIH1 mutations Oda et al.(2014) The American Journal of Human Genetics 95(1): 121-125. Gain-of-function mutations in IFIH1 cause a spectrum of human disease phenotypes associated with upregulated type I interferon signaling Rice et al.(2014) Nature Genetics 46(5): 503-510.
