Abstract Molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis is a conserved multistep pathway. The first step, the conversion of GTP to cyclic pyranopterin monophosphate (cPMP), requires bicsistronic MOCS1. Alternative splicing of MOCS1 in exons 1 and 9 produces four different N-terminal and three different C-terminal products (type I-III). Type I splicing results in bicistronic transcripts with two open reading frames, of which only the first, MOCS1A, is translated, whereas type II/III splicing produces two-domain MOCS1AB proteins. Here, we report and characterize the mitochondrial translocation of alternatively spliced MOCS1 proteins. While MOCS1A requires exon 1a for mitochondrial translocation, MOCS1AB variants target to mitochondria via an internal motif overriding the N-terminal targeting signal.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

    Electronic Supplementary Material (ESI) for Toxicology Research. This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2014 Supplementary data 1 Particle preparation and characterization 1.1 SWCNT preparation The purchased SWCNTs (P2-SWNTs, Carbon Solutions, Inc. CA, USA) have a poor dispersibility and colloidal stability in aqueous medium. To make well-dispersed SWCNTs in aqueous medium with a proper colloidal stability for the duration of the experiments, the purchased SWCNTs were accurately weighted and suspended in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to 0.125 mg/mL, followed by ultrasonication for 30 minutes in a water bath sonicator (B3510, Branson Ultrasonics, 40KHz). In the last minute of ultrasonication, the SWCNTs-DMSO suspension was rapidly diluted 5 times by injecting a stabilization buffer (5 mg/mL BSA and 10 mM NaCl in MilliQ water). The mixture, referred to as as-dispersed SWCNTs (AD-SWCNTs), resulted in a clear dark-brown suspension. No sedimentation of AD-SWCNTs was observed for weeks at room temperature indicating a good colloidal stability. To remove the majority of DMSO and free BSA, AD-SWCNTs were pelleted by centrifugation at 16,000 g, 4 °C for 30 min followed by three times wash with 10 mM NaCl in MilliQ water under the same conditions. The colloidal stability and surface charge of SWCNTs at each step were monitored by dynamic light scattering analysis (DLS) (see below). The depletion of DMSO and BSA was monitored by UV-Visible absorption analysis (see below). The SWCNTs aggregates and metallic impurities were characterized by TEM and TEM-EDX (see below). After the washing steps, SWCNTs were re-dispersed in MilliQ water with 10 mM NaCl to about 0.4 mg/mL, which was used in the experiments and here referred to as prepared SWCNTs.

  • Arginine-Provider-Fact-Sheet.Pdf
    Arginine (Urea Cycle Disorder) Screening Fact Sheet for Health Care Providers Newborn Screening Program of the Oklahoma State Department of Health What is the differential diagnosis? Argininemia (arginase deficiency, hyperargininemia) What are the characteristics of argininemia? Disorders of arginine metabolism are included in a larger group of disorders, known as urea cycle disorders. Argininemia is an autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism caused by a defect in the final step in the urea cycle. Most infants are born to parents who are both unknowingly asymptomatic carriers and have NO known history of a urea cycle disorder in their family. The incidence of all urea cycle disorders is estimated to be about 1:8,000 live births. The true incidence of argininemia is not known, but has been estimated between 1:350,000 and 1:1,000,000. Argininemia is usually asymptomatic in the neonatal period, although it can present with mild to moderate hyperammonemia. Untreated, argininemia usually progresses to severe spasticity, loss of ambulation, severe cognitive and intellectual disabilities and seizures Lifelong treatment includes a special diet, and special care during times of illness or stress. What is the screening methodology for argininemia? 1. An amino acid profile by Tandem Mass Spectrometry (MS/MS) is performed on each filter paper. 2. Arginine is the primary analyte. What is an in-range (normal) screen result for arginine? Arginine less than 100 mol/L is NOT consistent with argininemia. See Table 1. TABLE 1. In-range Arginine Newborn Screening Results What is an out-of-range (abnormal) screen for arginine? Arginine > 100 mol/L requires further testing.

  • What Disorders Are Screened for by the Newborn Screen?
    What disorders are screened for by the newborn screen? Endocrine Disorders The endocrine system is important to regulate the hormones in our bodies. Hormones are special signals sent to various parts of the body. They control many things such as growth and development. The goal of newborn screening is to identify these babies early so that treatment can be started to keep them healthy. To learn more about these specific disorders please click on the name of the disorder below: English: Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Esapnol Hiperplasia Suprarrenal Congenital - - http://www.newbornscreening.info/Parents/otherdisorders/CAH.html - http://www.newbornscreening.info/spanish/parent/Other_disorder/CAH.html - Congenital Hypothyroidism (Hipotiroidismo Congénito) - http://www.newbornscreening.info/Parents/otherdisorders/CH.html - http://www.newbornscreening.info/spanish/parent/Other_disorder/CH.html Hematologic Conditions Hemoglobin is a special part of our red blood cells. It is important for carrying oxygen to the parts of the body where it is needed. When people have problems with their hemoglobin they can have intense pain, and they often get sick more than other children. Over time, the lack of oxygen to the body can cause damage to the organs. The goal of newborn screening is to identify babies with these conditions so that they can get early treatment to help keep them healthy.

Hyland Institute ofChildHealth (University ofLondon), 30 Guilford Street, London WCIN2NR, UK. Summary: Patients with phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency show increased concentrations of biopterins and neopterins, and reduced concentrations ofserotonin and catecholamines, when phenylalan- ine concentrations are raised. The pterin rise reflects increased synthesis of dihydroneopterin and tetrahydrobiopterin, and the amine fall a reduction in amine synthesis due to inhibition by phenylalanine of tyrosine and typtophan transport into neurones. The pterin and amine changes appear to be independent of each other and are present in the central nervous system as well as the periphery; they disappear when phenylalanine concentrations are reduced to normal. Patients with arginase deficiency show a similar amine disturbance but have normal pterin levels. The amine changes probably contribute neurological symptoms but pterin disturbance is not known to affect brain function. Patients with defective biopterin metabolism exhibit severely impaired amine synthesis due to tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency. Pterin concentrations vary with the site of the defect. Symptoms include profound hypokiesis and other features of basal ganglia disease. Neither symptoms nor amine changes are relieved by controlling phenylalanine concentrations. Patients with dihydropteridine reductase (DHPR) deficiency accumulate dihydrobiopterins and develop secondary folate deficiency which resembles that occurring in patients with defective 5,10-methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase activity. The latter disorder is also associated writh Parkinsonisn and defective amine and pterin turnover in the and a occurs in In central nervous system, demyelinating illness both disorders.

  • Massive Parallel Sequencing As a New Diagnostic Approach For
    Chaiyasap et al. BMC Medical Genetics (2017) 18:102 DOI 10.1186/s12881-017-0464-x RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Massive parallel sequencing as a new diagnostic approach for phenylketonuria and tetrahydrobiopterin-deficiency in Thailand Pongsathorn Chaiyasap1, Chupong Ittiwut1,2, Chalurmpon Srichomthong1,2, Apiruk Sangsin3, Kanya Suphapeetiporn1,2,4* and Vorasuk Shotelersuk1,2 Abstract Background: Hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA) can be classified into phenylketonuria (PKU) which is caused by mutations in the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene, and BH4 deficiency caused by alterations in genes involved in tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) biosynthesis pathway. Dietary restriction of phenylalanine is considered to be the main treatment of PKU to prevent irreversible intellectual disability. However, the same dietary intervention in BH4 deficiency patients is not as effective, as BH4 is also a cofactor in many neurotransmitter syntheses. Method: We utilized next generation sequencing (NGS) technique to investigate four unrelated Thai patients with hyperphenylalaninemia. Result: We successfully identified all eight mutant alleles in PKU or BH4-deficiency associated genes including three novel mutations, one in PAH and two in PTS, thus giving a definite diagnosis to these patients. Appropriate management can then be provided. Conclusion: This study identified three novel mutations in either the PAH or PTS gene and supported the use of NGS as an alternative molecular genetic approach for definite diagnosis of hyperphenylalaninemia, thus leading to proper management of these patients in Thailand.
