Mutation in the gene encoding the stimulatory G protein of adenylate cyclase in Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy

Abstract

Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by a short stature, brachydactyly, subcutaneous ossifications, and reduced expression or function of the alpha subunit of the stimulatory G protein (Gs alpha) of adenylate cyclase, which is necessary for the action of parathyroid and other hormones that use cyclic AMP as an intracellular second messenger. We identified a unique Gs alpha protein in erythrocytes from two related patients with Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy and reduced Gs alpha bioactivity. The Gs alpha variant was recognized by a carboxyl terminal-specific Gs alpha antiserum but not by polyclonal antiserums specific for the amino terminus of Gs alpha. To investigate the molecular basis for this structurally abnormal Gs alpha protein, we studied the Gs alpha gene by restriction-endonuclease analysis. DNA from the two patients had an abnormal restriction-fragment pattern when digested with Ncol, which was consistent with loss of an Ncol restriction site in exon 1 of one Gs alpha allele. Amplification of a 260-base-pair region that includes exon 1 of the Gs alpha gene and direct sequencing of the amplified DNA revealed an A-to-G transition at position +1 in one Gs alpha allele...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule.
