abstract = {Functional characterization of DYRK1A point mutants related
to human monogenic disorders(Esti Wahyu Widowati)DYRK1A is a
member of DYRK (dual-specificity tyrosine (Y)
phosphorylation-regulated kinase) family of protein kinases
which share conserved structure of the DH (DYRK-homology)
box and kinase domain, but differ in their N- and C-terminal
sequences. DYRK1A achieves full catalytic activity by
tyrosine autophosphorylation which takes place as a one-time
event during or immediately after translation. Several
truncation mutations, microdeletions and missense variants
result in the neurodevelopmental syndrome termed mental
retardation autosomal dominant 7 (MRD7). The phenotype of
MRD7 includes microcephaly, intellectual disability,
epileptic seizures, autism spectrum disorder and language
delay and is caused by haploinsufficiency of DYRK1A. This
study aims to address missense mutations in kinase domain
and provide a functional analysis of those mutants. To
characterize the disease-causing missense variants that
affect the catalytic domain of DYRK1A, we used a mammalian
expression system. Four of the substitutions eliminated
tyrosine autophosphorylation (L245R, F308V, S311F, S346P),
indicating that these variants lacked kinase activity.
Tyrosine phosphorylation of DYRK1A-L295F in mammalian cells
was comparable to wild type although this mutant showed
lower catalytic activity and reduced thermodynamic stability
in cellular thermal assays. One variant (DYRK1A-T588N) with
a mutation outside the catalytic domain did not differ from
wild type DYRK1A in tyrosine autophosphorylation, catalytic
activity or cellular localization. In addition, we
investigated two DYRK1A mutants (D138P and K150C) located in
the DH-box which correspond to missense variants in the
related DYRK1B kinase that are associated with a familial
form of metabolic syndrome (AOMS3). The DH-box contributes
to the conformational stability of catalytic domain in
DYRK1A. Expression in HeLa cells showed that there is no
significant difference between DYRK1A-D138P and K150C
regarding tyrosine autophosphorylation or catalytic
activity. However, reduced tyrosine phosphorylation was
observed in both DYRK1A variants when expressed in a
bacterial cell free in vitro translation system. In summary,
these studies suggest that 1) pathogenic missense variants
in the catalytic domain of DYRK1A impair enzymatic function
by affecting catalytic amino acid residues or by
compromising the structural integrity of the kinase domain
and 2) D138 and K150 participate in the maturation of DYRK1A
albeit these mutations are compensated under physiological
conditions.},
