A gatekeeper helix determines the substrate specificity of Sjögren–Larsson Syndrome enzyme fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase
Mutations in the gene coding for membrane-bound fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase (FALDH) lead to toxic accumulation of lipid species and development of the Sjögren-Larsson Syndrome (SLS), a rare disorder characterized by skin defects and mental retardation. Here, we present the crystallographic structure of human FALDH, the first model of a membrane-associated aldehyde dehydrogenase. The dimeric FA...
متن کاملIdentification of a novel deletion within ALDH3A2 gene in an Iranian Family with Sjögren–Larsson Syndrome
Sjögren-Larsson syndrome (SLS) is a rare type of congenital ichthyosis with neurological problems and intellectual disability. Homozygous mutations in ALDH3A2 gene are known to be responsible for this syndrome. Here, we report an Iranian family with congenital SLS bearing a novel two-base-pair deletion within ALDH3A2 genomic sequence. Our finding expands the mutation spectrum of ALDH3A2 that is...
متن کاملSjogren-Larsson syndrome
Sjögren-Larsson syndrome is an inherited neurocutaneous disorder characterized by ichthyosis, intellectual disability, and spastic diplegia or tetraplegia. Patients have deficient activity of fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase due to mutations in the ALDH3A2 gene, which results in altered lipid composition of their tissues. In this article, the author discusses new information about the biochemical p...
متن کاملSjögren-Larsson syndrome: report of monozygote twins and a case with a novel mutation.
Sjögren-Larsson syndrome is an autosomal recessive neurocutaneous disease caused by mutations in the ALDH3A2 gene for fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase, a microsomal enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of medium- and long-chain aliphatic aldehydes fatty acids. We studied three Turkish Sjögren-Larsson syndrome patients with ichthyosis, developmental delay, spastic diplegia, and brain white matter dis...
