Abstract

Human mutations in the transcription factor SOX9 cause campomelic dysplasia/autosomal sex reversal. Here we identify and characterize two novel heterozygous mutations, F154L and A158T, that substitute conserved "hydrophobic core" amino acids of the high mobility group domain at positions thought to stabilize SOX9 conformation. Circular dichroism studies indicated that both mutations disrupt alpha-helicity within their high mobility group domain, whereas tertiary structure is essentially maintained as judged by fluorescence spectroscopy. In cultured cells, strictly nuclear localization was observed for wild type SOX9 and the F154L mutant; however, the A158T mutant showed a 2-fold reduction in nuclear import efficiency. Importin-beta was demonstrated to be the nuclear transport receptor recognized by SOX9, with both mutant proteins binding importin-beta with wild type affinity. Whereas DNA bending was unaffected, DNA binding was drastically reduced in both mutants (to 5% of wild type activity in F154L, 17% in A158T). Despite this large effect, transcriptional activation in cultured cells was only reduced to 26% in F154L and 62% in A158T of wild type activity, suggesting that a small loss of SOX9 transactivation activity could be ...Continue Reading
