ABSTRACT
La mucopolisacaridosis de tipo I (MPS I), es una enfermedad genética autosómica recesiva de origen lisosomal, caracterizada por la deficiencia de la enzima a-L-iduronidasa. La deficiencia en el catabolismo de los glucosaminoglucanos resulta en su acumulación en diferentes tejidos y órganos. La incidencia global de la MPS I es de 0,99-1,99/100 000 nacidos vivos. Existen tres presentaciones clínicas: Hurler (grave), Hurler-Scheie (moderada) y Scheie (leve). Presentamos el caso de un niño de 10 años de edad a quien se le diagnosticó MPS I, de variedad grave en el año 2006, mediante medición de la actividad enzimática de a-L-iduronidasa en leucocitos. Este caso es el único con diagnóstico confirmado y tratamiento enzimático hasta el momento, en el Perú. Presenta infecciones respiratorias recurrentes, hernia umbilical, opacidad corneal, rasgos toscos, macroglosia, hipoacusia, rigidez articular, estenosis de la válvula pulmonar leve-moderada, manos en garra, retardo mental y retraso del crecimiento. Recibe terapia de reemplazo enzimático desde el año 2008, mostrando mejoría de los síntomas viscerales, más no del daño neurológico.
Mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I) is a rare, recessively inherited, lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency on the enzyme a-L-iduronidase. This defect results in accumulation of heparan and dermatan sulfate in different tissues and organs due to a deficiency in the catabolism of glycosaminoglycans. The overall incidence of MPS I is 0.99-1.99/100.000 live births. There are three clinical presentations: Hurler (severe), Hurler Scheie (mild) and Scheie (mild). We report the case of a 10-years-old male patient diagnosed with Hurler syndrome, the severe presentation, 5 years ago by enzyme a-L-iduronidase activity measurement in leukocytes; with a history of recurrent respiratory infections, umbilical hernia, corneal opacity, coarse facial features, macroglossia, hearing loss, stiffness of joints, cardiac compromise, claw hands, mental retardation and stunted growth. After enzyme replacement therapy the patient has shown improvement of visceral symptoms, but the neurological damage continuous in progress.

Objective To explore the molecular mechanism of BRAFV600E inducing chromosome instability in Sbcl2 and SK-MEL31 melanoma cells.Methods The endogenous Mps1 in stable Sbcl2-and SK-MEL31-B-RafV600E expression cells were depleted by siRNA approach.To test the effect of B-RafV600E on the centrosome amplification and the formation of multipolar spindles,cells at S-phase with HU-treatment were arrested and then the centrosomes and mitotic spindles structure were detected through immunofluoresence.Results The percentage of B-RafV600E expressing Sbcl2 and SK-MEL31 cells (Sbcl2-B-RafV600E and SKMEL31-B-RafV600E) with centrosome amplification and multipolar spindle was reduced from 36 ％ to 6 ％ when Mps1 was absent.Conclusion B-RafV600E leads to centrosome amplification and multipolar spindle through Mps1,thus results in chromosome instability in Sbcl2 and SK-MEL31 melanoma cells.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To explore the structural domains of the CENP-E protein that interact with Mps1 protein.Methods: Two recombinant vectors named pEGFP-CENPE2(containing 674-1085 amino acids of CENP-E protein) and pEGFP-CENPE 3(containing 1200~2134 amino acids of CENP-E protein) were transfected into human embryo kidney 293(HEK293) cells respectively.The respective energy transfer efficiency(Ef) between either EGFP-CENPE2 and Mps1,or EGFP-CENPE3 and Mps1 were detected by FRET through selective photobleaching of the acceptors.Results: Both recombinant proteins expressed in HEK293 cells transfected by the recombinant plasmids were found to co-localize with the Mps1 protein as confirmed by confocal microscopy.The Ef between EGFP-CENPE3 and Mps1 protein was [(12.63?0.48)%,n=30] and that between EGFP-CENPE3 and Mps1 protein was [(3.17?0.21)%,n=30] as revealed by the results from FRET,the result of FRET was confirmed by co-Immunoprecipitate(CO-IP) method.When compared with that between the control and Mps1,the Ef between EGFP-CENPE3 and Mps1 was significantly higher(p
ABSTRACT
objective:To screen and identify the interactive proteins of Mps1 and provide clues for the studies on Mps1 function on the chromosome segregation.Methods:The human embryonic cDNA library was screened with pDBLeu-Mps1 as bait plasmid by yeast two-hybrid system.And two Leu+ and LacZ+ positive yeast clones were obtained,which were contransformed to the MaV203 along with pDBLeu-Mps1 plasmid one to one by yeast simultaneous contransformation so as to identify the protein interactions again.The inserted fragments of identiyied positive clones were sequence and analyzed with BLAST in NCBI.Results: Only one positive clone identified one to one yeast simultaneous cotransformation,and the other was negative.The positive clone fragment was MAD1 protein by BLAST analysis in NCBI.Conclusion:To screen and initially identify the interactive protein of.Mps1 this research is a foundation for the study on the founctions of Mps1.
