Association between phosphoglucomutase (PGM1) and group-specific component (Gc) subtypes and tuberculosis.

چکیده
The polymorphism of PGM1 and Gc was studied by isoelectric focusing in pulmonary tuberculosis patients and controls. For the Gc system, the phenotypic frequencies did not differ significantly, but the PGM1 system showed a significant difference in the tuberculosis patients compared to controls. The data presented here show the potential of newly developed techniques to distinguish subjects with susceptibility to disease.

The classical human phosphoglucomutase (PGM1) isozyme polymorphism is generated by intragenic recombination.
The molecular basis of the classical human phosphoglucomutase 1 (PGM1) isozyme polymorphism has been established. In 1964, when this genetic polymorphism was first described, two common allelozymes PGM1 and PGM1 2 were identified by starch gel electrophoresis. The PGM1 2 isozyme showed a greater anodal electrophoretic mobility than PGM1 1. Subsequently, it was found that each of these allelozym...
متن کاملSequence-structure relationships, expression profiles, and disease-associated mutations in the paralogs of phosphoglucomutase 1
The key metabolic enzyme phosphoglucomutase 1 (PGM1) controls glucose homeostasis in most human cells. Four proteins related to PGM1, known as PGM2, PGM2L1, PGM3 and PGM5, and referred to herein as paralogs, are encoded in the human genome. Although all members of the same enzyme superfamily, these proteins have distinct substrate preferences and different functional roles. The recent associati...
متن کاملA phylogeny for the principal alleles of the human phosphoglucomutase-1 locus.
The results of phosphoglucomutase-1 (PGM1) typings by starch gel electrophoresis and subtypings by isoelectric focusing are presented for a sample of Japanese. A distinction made on the basis of isoelectric focusing (termed "+" and "-") is nonrandomly associated with each of the products of the four most common electrophoretic alleles (PGM1(1), PGM1(2), PGM1(3), and PGM1(7). The isoelectric tra...
متن کاملMapping recombination hotspots in human phosphoglucomutase (PGM1).
Human phosphoglucomutase (PGM1) is a highly poly-morphic protein. Three mutations and four intragenic recombination events between the three mutation sites generate eight protein variants including the four universally common alleles, 1+, 1 -, 2+ and 2 -, and four others that are polymorphic in some Oriental populations, 3+, 3-, 7+ and 7-. The mutations 3/7, 2/1 and +/-are in exons 1A, 4 and 8,...
متن کاملImpaired binding of ZASP/Cypher with phosphoglucomutase 1 is associated with dilated cardiomyopathy.
AIMS Z-band alternatively spliced PDZ-motif protein (ZASP)/Cypher is a Z-disc component of which several dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM)-associated mutations have been reported. Most of the mutations were found in exons 4 and 10 of ZASP/Cypher gene LDB3 and both exons were expressed preferentially in the heart. The aim of this study was to investigate the functional alteration of ZASP/Cypher cause...
