ABSTRACT
|
|
|
| |
|
Human phosphoglucomutase 1 (PGM1) plays a central role in cellular glucose
homeostasis, mediating the switch between glycolysis and gluconeogenesis through
the conversion of glucose 1-phosphate and glucose 6-phosphate. Recent clinical
studies have identified mutations in this enzyme as the cause of PGM1
deficiency, an inborn error of metabolism classified as both a glycogen storage
disease and a congenital disorder of glycosylation. Reported here are the first
crystal structures of two disease-related missense variants of PGM1, along with
the structure of the wild-type enzyme. Two independent glycine-to-arginine
substitutions (G121R and G291R), both affecting key active site loops of PGM1,
are found to induce regions of structural disorder, as evidenced by a nearly
complete loss of electron density for as many as 23 aa. The disordered regions
are not contiguous in sequence to the site of mutation, and even cross domain
boundaries. Other structural rearrangements include changes in the conformations
of loops and side chains, some of which occur nearly 20Å away from the site of
mutation. The induced structural disorder is correlated with increased
sensitivity to proteolysis and lower-resolution diffraction, particularly for
the G291R variant. Examination of the multi-domain effects of these G➔R
mutations establishes a correlation between interdomain interfaces of the enzyme
and missense variants of PGM1 associated with disease. These crystal structures
provide the first insights into the structural basis of enzyme dysfunction in
PGM1 deficiency and highlight a growing role for biophysical characterization of
proteins in the field of precision medicine.
