RESUMEN

GLUT1 deficiency syndrome (GLUT1DS1; OMIM #606777) is a rare genetic metabolic disease, characterized by infantile-onset epileptic encephalopathy, global developmental delay, progressive microcephaly, and movement disorders (e.g., spasticity and dystonia). It is caused by heterozygous mutations in the SLC2A1 gene, which encodes the GLUT1 protein, a glucose transporter across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Most commonly, these variants arise de novo resulting in sporadic cases, although several familial cases with AD inheritance pattern have been described. Twenty-seven Italian pediatric patients, clinically suspect of GLUT1DS from both sporadic and familial cases, have been enrolled. We detected by trios sequencing analysis 25 different variants causing GLUT1DS. Of these, 40% of the identified variants (10 out of 25) had never been reported before, including missense, frameshift, and splice site variants. Their structural mapping on the X-ray structure of GLUT1 strongly suggested the potential pathogenic effects of these novel disease-related mutations, broadening the genotypic spectrum heterogeneity found in the SLC2A1 gene. Moreover, 24% is located in a vulnerable region of the GLUT1 protein that involves transmembrane 4 and 5 helices encoded by exon 4, confirming a mutational hotspot in the SLC2A1 gene. Lastly, we investigated possible correlations between mutation type and clinical and biochemical data observed in our GLUT1DS cohort, revealing that splice site and frameshift variants are related to a more severe phenotype and low CSF parameters.

RESUMEN

To prevent detrimental chromosome re-replication, DNA loading of a double hexamer of the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) replicative helicase is temporally separated from DNA unwinding. Upon S-phase transition in yeast, DNA unwinding is achieved in two steps: limited opening of the double helix and topological separation of the two DNA strands. First, Cdc45, GINS and Polε engage MCM to assemble a double CMGE with two partially separated hexamers that nucleate DNA melting. In the second step, triggered by Mcm10, two CMGEs separate completely, eject the lagging-strand template and cross paths. To understand Mcm10 during helicase activation, we used biochemical reconstitution with cryogenic electron microscopy. We found that Mcm10 splits the double CMGE by engaging the N-terminal homo-dimerization face of MCM. To eject the lagging strand, DNA unwinding is started from the N-terminal side of MCM while the hexamer channel becomes too narrow to harbor duplex DNA.
