A suppressor mutation specific for a missense codon in the L-ribulokinase structural gene of the L-arabinose operon of Escherichia coli B/r enhanced L-arabinose utilization by the strain containing the missense codon. Electrophoretic comparisons of the wild-type, missense, and suppressed missense L-ribulokinases indicated that the suppressor changed the structure of the missense kinase, thereby...
Zfy-1 and Zfy-2 are candidate genes for Tdy, the testis-determining gene in mice. We have analysed these genes in a line of XY female mice that have been shown to be mutated in Tdy. We have used Southern blot analysis to show that the Zfy genes have not undergone any major structural alterations, and have also demonstrated that both genes are transcribed normally from the mutant Y chromosome (Y...
Mitochondria are the energy producing organelles of the cell, and mutations within their genome can cause numerous and often severe human diseases. At the heart of every mitochondrion is a set of five large multi-protein machines collectively known as the mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC). This cellular machinery is central to several processes important for maintaining homeostasis within c...
Cardiac angiosarcoma (CAS) is a rare malignant tumour whose genetic basis is unknown. Here we show, by whole-exome sequencing of a TP53-negative Li-Fraumeni-like (LFL) family including CAS cases, that a missense variant (p.R117C) in POT1 (protection of telomeres 1) gene is responsible for CAS. The same gene alteration is found in two other LFL families with CAS, supporting the causal effect of ...
We report the case of a Japanese family suffering from familial juvenile hyperuricemic nephropathy (FJHN) due to a rare missense mutation of the uromodulin (UMOD) gene. An 18-year-old male presented with gout, hyperuricemia, and stage 3 chronic kidney disease. Mostly, FJHN is caused by a mutation altering the cystine residue of UMOD/Tamm-Horsfall protein. However, in the present case, a T688C m...
BACKGROUND Spermine synthase (SMS) is a key enzyme controlling the concentration of spermidine and spermine in the cell. The importance of SMS is manifested by the fact that single missense mutations were found to cause Snyder-Robinson Syndrome (SRS). At the same time, currently there are no non-synonymous single nucleoside polymorphisms, nsSNPs (harmless mutations), found in SMS, which may imp...
A subclone of a human diploid lymphoblastoid cell line, TK-6, with consistently high cloning efficiency has been used to estimate the rates of somatic mutations on the basis of protein variation detected by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A panel of 267 polypeptide spots per gel was screened, representing the products of approximately 263 unselected loci. The rate of human s...
In Drosophila melanogaster, heterochromatin-induced silencing or position-effect variegation (PEV) of a reporter gene has provided insights into the properties of heterochromatin. Class I modifiers suppress PEV, and class II modifiers enhance PEV when the modifier gene is present in fewer than two doses. We have examined the effects of both class I and class II modifiers on four PEV mutations. ...
Local variation in neutral substitution rate across mammalian genomes is governed by several factors, including sequence context variables and structural variables. In addition, the interplay of replication and transcription, known to induce a strand bias in mutation rate, gives rise to variation in substitutional strand asymmetries. Here, we address the conservation of variation in mutation ra...
TBC1D24 mutation-related epileptic syndrome includes a wide spectrum of epilepsies. We describe a case with a homozygous TBC1D24 mutation inherited from consanguineous parents. The patient manifested epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) and rare secondary generalized tonic-clonic seizure without intellectual disability or developmental delay. EPC, which involved focal limbs, came with waking and ...
