Latent S49P neuroserpin forms polymers in the dementia familial encephalopathy with neuroserpin inclusion bodies.
The serpinopathies result from conformational transitions in members of the serine proteinase inhibitor superfamily with aberrant tissue deposition or loss of function. They are typified by mutants of neuroserpin that are retained within the endoplasmic reticulum of neurons as ordered polymers in association with dementia. We show here that the S49P mutant of neuroserpin that causes the dementi...
متن کاملMutant Neuroserpin (S49P) that causes familial encephalopathy with neuroserpin inclusion bodies is a poor proteinase inhibitor and readily forms polymers in vitro.
Familial encephalopathy with neuroserpin inclusion bodies (FENIB) is an autosomal dominant dementia that is characterized by intraneuronal inclusions of mutant neuroserpin. We report here the expression, purification, and characterization of wild-type neuroserpin and neuroserpin containing the S49P mutation that causes FENIB. Wild-type neuroserpin formed SDS-stable complexes with tPA with an as...
متن کاملCognitive deficits associated with a recently reported familial neurodegenerative disease: familial encephalopathy with neuroserpin inclusion bodies.
BACKGROUND We recently discovered an autosomal dominant disease causing a progressive dementia. The disease is caused by a point mutation in the gene coding for the serine protease inhibitor (ie, serpin) neuroserpin. The mutation results in an unstable neuroserpin protein that readily aggregates into intraneuronal inclusions that we identify as Collins bodies. The bodies are distributed through...
متن کاملA structural basis for loop C-sheet polymerization in serpins.
In this study, we report the X-ray crystal structure of an N-terminally truncated variant of the bacterial serpin, tengpin (tengpinDelta42). Our data reveal that tengpinDelta42 adopts a variation of the latent conformation in which the reactive center loop is hyperinserted into the A beta-sheet and removed from the vicinity of the C-sheet. This conformational change leaves the C beta-sheet comp...
متن کاملThe intracellular accumulation of polymeric neuroserpin explains the severity of the dementia FENIB
Familial encephalopathy with neuroserpin inclusion bodies (FENIB) is an autosomal dominant dementia that is characterized by the retention of polymers of neuroserpin as inclusions within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of neurons. We have developed monoclonal antibodies that detect polymerized neuroserpin and have used COS-7 cells, stably transfected PC12 cell lines and transgenic Drosophila mel...
