CFTR基因突变导致囊性纤维化(CF),这是影响高加索人的最常见的危及生命的常染色体隐性遗传病。我们确定了CFTR突变(c.120del23)废除正常的翻译起始密码子,发生在两个葡萄牙CF患者。本研究的目的是在功能上表征这种新的突变的影响。将RNA和蛋白质技术应用于来自CF患者的天然组织和表达CFTR构建体的重组细胞,以确定c.120del23是否允许通过使用替代的内部密码子产生CFTR蛋白,并表征推定的截短CFTR形式。我们的数据表明,当翻译起始密码子缺失时,会产生两种较短形式的CFTR蛋白,这表明使用了内部起始密码子。由该突变产生的N截短的CFTR具有降低的稳定性、非常低的处理效率和显著降低的功能。对M1下游的四个甲硫氨酸密码子(M82、M150、M152、M156)的突变体的分析显示,密码子M150/M152/M156(外显子4)中的每一个都可以介导CFTR选择性翻译。CFTR N-末端在避免CFTR周转和使其质膜运输有效方面具有重要作用。这些数据与携带c.120del23突变的CF患者的严重临床表型密切相关。
Mutations in the CFTR gene cause Cystic Fibrosis (CF) the most common life-threatening autosomal recessive disease affecting Caucasians. We identified a CFTR mutation (c.120del23) abolishing the normal translation initiation codon, which occurs in two Portuguese CF patients. This study aims at functionally characterizing the effect of this novel mutation. RNA and protein techniques were applied to both native tissues from CF patients and recombinant cells expressing CFTR constructs to determine whether c.120del23 allows CFTR protein production through usage of alternative internal codons, and to characterize the putative truncated CFTR form(s). Our data show that two shorter forms of CFTR protein are produced when the initiation translation codon is deleted indicating usage of internal initiation codons. The N-truncated CFTR generated by this mutation has decreased stability, very low processing efficiency, and drastically reduced function. Analysis of mutants of four methionine codons downstream to M1 (M82, M150, M152, M156) revealed that each of the codons M150/M152/M156 (exon 4) can mediate CFTR alternative translation. The CFTR N-terminus has an important role in avoiding CFTR turnover and in rendering effective its plasma membrane traffic. These data correlate well with the severe clinical phenotype of CF patients bearing the c.120del23 mutation.
