We describe a new disease that results in failure to release vitamin B(12) from lysosomes, which mimics the cblF defect caused by LMBRD1 mutations. Using microcell-mediated chromosome transfer and exome sequencing, we identified causal mutations in ABCD4, a gene that codes for an ABC transporter, which was previously thought to have peroxisomal localization and function. Our results show that ABCD4 colocalizes with the lysosomal proteins LAMP1 and LMBD1, the latter of which is deficient in the cblF defect. Furthermore, we show that mutations altering the putative ATPase domain of ABCD4 affect its function, suggesting that the ATPase activity of ABCD4 may be involved in intracellular processing of vitamin B(12).

Germline Mutations Causing Familial Lung Cancer
Journal of Human Genetics (2015) 60, 597–603 & 2015 The Japan Society of Human Genetics All rights reserved 1434-5161/15 www.nature.com/jhg ORIGINAL ARTICLE Germline mutations causing familial lung cancer Koichi Tomoshige1,2, Keitaro Matsumoto1, Tomoshi Tsuchiya1, Masahiro Oikawa1, Takuro Miyazaki1, Naoya Yamasaki1, Hiroyuki Mishima2, Akira Kinoshita2, Toru Kubo3, Kiyoyasu Fukushima3, Koh-ichiro Yoshiura2 and Takeshi Nagayasu1 Genetic factors are important in lung cancer, but as most lung cancers are sporadic, little is known about inherited genetic factors. We identiﬁed a three-generation family with suspected autosomal dominant inherited lung cancer susceptibility. Sixteen individuals in the family had lung cancer. To identify the gene(s) that cause lung cancer in this pedigree, we extracted DNA from the peripheral blood of three individuals and from the blood of one cancer-free control family member and performed whole-exome sequencing. We identiﬁed 41 alterations in 40 genes in all affected family members but not in the unaffected member. These were considered candidate mutations for familial lung cancer. Next, to identify somatic mutations and/or inherited alterations in these 40 genes among sporadic lung cancers, we performed exon target enrichment sequencing using 192 samples from sporadic lung cancer patients. We detected somatic ‘candidate’ mutations in multiple sporadic lung cancer samples; MAST1, CENPE, CACNB2 and LCT were the most promising candidate genes. In addition, the MAST1 gene was located in a putative cancer-linked locus in the pedigree. Our data suggest that several genes act as oncogenic drivers in this family, and that MAST1 is most likely to cause lung cancer.

Molybdenum Cofactor and Sulfite Oxidase Deficiency Jochen Reiss* Institute of Human Genetics, University Medicine Göttingen, Germany

In humans four such enzymes are known: Sulfite oxidase, xanthine oxidoreductase, aldehyde oxidase and a mitochondrial amidoxime reducing component. Of these, sulfite oxidase is the most important and clinically relevant one. Mutations in the genes MOCS1, MOCS2 or GPHN - all encoding cofactor biosynthesis proteins - lead to molybdenum cofactor deficiency type A, B or C, respectively. All three types plus mutations in the SUOX gene responsible for isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency lead to progressive neurological disease which untreated in most cases leads to death in early childhood. Currently, only for type A of the cofactor deficiency an experimental treatment is available. Introduction combination with SUOX deficiency. Elevated xanthine and lowered uric acid concentrations in the urine are used to differentiate this Isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency (MIM#606887) is an autosomal combined form from the isolated SUOX deficiency. Rarely and only in recessive inherited disease caused by mutations in the sulfite oxidase cases of isolated XOR deficiency xanthine stones have been described (SUOX) gene [1]. Sulfite oxidase is localized in the mitochondrial as a cause of renal failure. Otherwise, isolated XOR deficiency often intermembrane space, where it catalyzes the oxidation of sulfite to goes unnoticed.

Whole egg consumption increases gene expression within the glutathione pathway in the liver of Zucker Diabetic Fatty rats Abstract Nutrigenomic evidence supports the idea that Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) arises due to the interactions between the transcriptome, individual genetic profiles, lifestyle, and diet. Since eggs are a nutrient dense food containing bioactive ingredients that modify gene expression, our goal was to examine the role of whole egg consumption on the transcriptome during T2DM.

Shared Sulfur Mobilization Routes for Trna Thiolation and Molybdenum Cofactor Biosynthesis in Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes

Here, especially the thiomodifications xm5s2U at the wobble position 34 in tRNAs for Lys, Gln and Glu, were suggested to have an important role during the translation process by ensuring accurate deciphering of the genetic code and by stabilization of the tRNA structure. The trafficking and delivery of sulfur nucleosides is a complex process carried out by sulfur relay systems involving numerous proteins, which not only deliver sulfur to the specific tRNAs but also to other sulfur-containing molecules including iron–sulfur clusters, thiamin, biotin, lipoic acid and molybdopterin (MPT). Among the biosynthesis of these sulfur-containing molecules, the biosynthesis of the molybdenum cofactor (Moco) and the synthesis of thio-modified tRNAs in particular show a surprising link by sharing protein components for sulfur mobilization in pro- and eukaryotes. Keywords: tRNA; molybdenum cofactor; persulfide; thiocarboxylate; thionucleosides; sulfurtransferase; L-cysteine desulfurase 1.
