چکیده

Dentine dysplasia type II is an autosomal dominant disorder in which mineralization of the dentine of the primary teeth is abnormal. On the basis of the phenotypic overlap between, and shared chromosomal location with, dentinogenesis imperfecta type II, a second disorder of dentine mineralization, it has been proposed that the two conditions are allelic. As recent studies have shown that dentinogenesis imperfecta type II results from mutation of the bicistronic dentine sialophosphoprotein gene (DSPP ), we have tested this hypothesis by sequencing DSPP in a family with a history of dentine dysplasia type II. Our results have shown that a missense change, which causes the substitution of a tyrosine for an aspartic acid in the hydrophobic signal peptide domain of the protein, underlies the phenotype in this family. Biochemical analysis has further demonstrated that this mutation causes a failure of translocation of the encoded proteins into the endoplasmic reticulum, and is therefore likely to lead to a loss of function of both dentine sialoprotein and dentine phosphoprotein.

گزارش یک مورد جهش جدید مرتبط با بیماری Dentinogenesis Imperfecta در بیماری با ضعف شنوایی

Dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI) is an inherited disorder affecting dentin. Defective dentin formation results in discolored teeth that are prone to attrition and fracture. Mutation in dentin and the main gene in this disease is DSPP. Heterozygous mutations in this gene cause tooth sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) causes dentin disorders DI I and II. Imperfecta is a dominant autosomal trait that affec...

A DSPP Mutation Causing Dentinogenesis Imperfecta and Characterization of the Mutational Effect

Mutations in the DSPP gene have been identified in nonsyndromic hereditary dentin defects, but the genotype-phenotype correlations are not fully understood. Recently, it has been demonstrated that the mutations of DSPP affecting the IPV leader sequence result in mutant DSPP retention in rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In this study, we identified a Korean family with dentinogenesis imperfecta...

Expression of an epitope-based recombinant vaccine against Foot and Mouth Disease (FMDV) in tobacco plant (Nicotiana tabacum)

Regarding high potential of green plants for development of recombinant vaccines, this research was conducted to evaluate expression of a novel recombinant vaccines against Foot and Mouth Disease (FMDV) in tobacco plant. For this purpose, a synthetic gene encoding 129-169 amino acids of foot and mouth disease virus capsid protein VP1 was transferred to tobacco plant via Agrobacterium-mediated g...

Gating Behavior of Endoplasmic Reticulum Potassium Channels of Rat Hepatocytes in Diabetes

Background: Defects in endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis are common occurrences in different diseases, such as diabetes, in which the function of endoplasmic reticulum is disrupted. It is now well established that ion channels of endoplasmic reticulum membrane have a critical role in endoplasmic reticulum luminal homeostasis. Our previous studies showed the presence of an ATP-sensitive cationic...

The protein translocation channel mediates glycopeptide export across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane.

Peptides and misfolded secretory proteins are transported efficiently from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen to the cytosol, where the proteins are degraded by proteasomes. Protein export depends on Sec61p, the ribosome-binding core component of the protein translocation channel in the ER membrane. We found that prebinding of ribosomes abolished export of a glycopeptide from yeast microsomes...
