Abstract

The microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) is a heterodimer composed of the ubiquitous multifunctional protein, protein disulfide isomerase, and a unique 97-kDa subunit. Mutations that lead to the absence of a functional 97-kDa subunit cause abetalipoproteinemia, an autosomal recessive disease characterized by a defect in the assembly and secretion of apolipoprotein B (apoB) containing lipoproteins. Previous studies of abetalipoproteinemic patient, C.L., showed that the 97-kDa subunit was undetectable. In this report, [35S]methionine labeling showed that this tissue was capable of synthesizing the 97-kDa MTP subunit. Electrophoretic analysis showed two bands, one with a molecular mass of the wild type 97-kDa subunit and the other with a slightly lower molecular weight. Sequence analysis of cDNAs from additional intestinal biopsies showed this patient to be a compound heterozygote. One allele contained a perfect in-frame deletion of exon 10, explaining the lower molecular weight band. cDNAs of the second allele were found to contain 3 missense mutations: His297 --> Gln, Asp384 --> Ala, and Arg540 --> His. Transient expression of each mutant showed that only the Arg540 --> His mutant was non-functional based upon its inab...Continue Reading
