The Wilson protein (ATP7B) is a copper-transporting CPx-type ATPase defective in the copper toxicity disorder Wilson disease. In hepatocytes, ATP7B delivers copper to apo-ceruloplasmin and mediates the excretion of excess copper into bile. These distinct functions require the protein to localize at two different subcellular compartments. At the trans-Golgi network, ATP7B transports copper for i...
BACKGROUND Wilson's disease is caused by a genetic defect in P-type Cu(2+)-ATPase (Atp7b), resulting in Cu(2+) accumulation in the liver, toxicity, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Exposure of HepG2 cells, and livers of Atp7b mutant mice to toxic Cu(2+) resulted in oxidation, (KGDH) and (PDH) enzyme inhibition, and death that was attenuated by thiamine. MATERIALS AND METHODS The effect of oral t...
The copper-transporting ATPase ATP7B has an essential role in human physiology, particularly for the liver and brain function. Inactivation of ATP7B is associated with a severe hepato-neurologic disorder, Wilson disease (WD). Hundreds of WD related mutations have been identified in ATP7B to date. The low frequency and the compound-heterozygous nature of causative mutations complicate the analys...
The Long-Evans Cinnamon (LEC) rat strain (Atp7b m/m), which accumulates copper in the liver due to mutations in the Atp7b gene, is a useful model for investigating the relationship between oxidative stress and hepatocarcinogenesis. To determine the effect of this mutation on oxidative stress marker genes, we performed oligonucleotide array analysis (Affymetrix), and compared the results in Atp7...
The deleterious effects of a disrupted copper metabolism are illustrated by hereditary diseases caused by mutations in the genes coding for the copper transporters ATP7A and ATP7B. Menkes disease, involving ATP7A, is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder of copper deficiency. Mutations in ATP7B lead to Wilson disease, which is characterized by a predominantly hepatic copper accumulation. The low i...
results using these two sets, we identified h1069q mutation in four patients, c.2335t > g mutation in three, c.3061-1g > a splice site mutation in five, c.3305t > c mutation in one, and c.3809a > g mutation in two patients. conclusions the multiplex arms assay used in this study can be an efficient, reliable, and cost effective method as a primary screen for patients with wilson disease. patien...
OBJECTIVE Wilson's disease (WD) is an inborn error of metabolism caused by abnormalities of the copper-transporting protein encoding gene ATP7B. In this study, we examined ATP7B for mutations in a group of patients living in southern Brazil. METHODS 36 WD subjects were studied and classified according to their clinical and epidemiological data. In 23 subjects the ATP7B gene was analyzed. RE...
The Wilson disease protein or ATP7B is a P 1B-type ATPase involved in human copper homeostasis. The extended N-terminus of ATP7B protrudes into the cytosol and contains six Cu(I) binding domains. This report presents the NMR structure of the polypeptide consisting of soluble Cu(I) binding domains 3 and 4. The two domains exhibit ferredoxin-like folds, are linked by a flexible loop, and act inde...
BACKGROUND Recent studies have demonstrated that transplantation of ATP7B-transduced hepatocytes ameliorates disease progression in LEC (Long-Evans Cinnamon) rats, a model of Wilson's disease (WD). However, the inability of transplanted cells to proliferate in a normal liver hampers long-term treatment. In the current study, we investigated whether transplantation of ATP7B-transduced bone marro...
BACKGROUND ATP7A, ATP7B and CTR1 are metal transporting proteins that control the cellular disposition of copper and platinum drugs, but their expression in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) tissue and their role in platinum-induced neurotoxicity are unknown. To investigate the DRG expression of ATP7A, ATP7B and CTR1, lumbar DRG and reference tissues were collected for real time quantitative PCR, RT-P...
