RESUMO

Short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (SCADD) is a rare autosomal recessive mitochondrial disorder of fatty acid β-oxidation, and is associated with mutations in the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (ACADS) gene. Recent advances in spectrometric screening for inborn errors of metabolism have helped detect several metabolic disorders, including SCADD, without symptoms in the neonate period. This allows immediate initiation of treatment and monitoring, so they remain largely symptomless metabolic disease. Here, we report a 15-month-old asymptomatic male, who was diagnosed with SCADD by newborn screening. Spectrometric screening for inborn errors of metabolism 72 hours after birth revealed an elevated butyrylcarnitine (C4) concentration of 2.25 µmol/L (normal, T (p.Pro55Leu) and c.1031A>G (p.Glu344Gly) on exons 2 and 9, respectively. The patient is now growing up, unretarded by symptoms such as seizure and developmental delay.

RESUMO

Short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (SCADD; OMIM # 201470) is an autosomal recessive inborn error of mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation, presenting with a variety of clinical signs and symptoms. Developmental delay, hypertonia or hypotonia, ketotic hypoglycemia, and epilepsy are most frequently reported. In general, patients diagnosed through newborn screening have shown normal growth and development in contrast to those diagnosed as a result of clinically initiated evaluations. Here, the case of an asymptomatic Korean newborn with SCADD identified by tandem mass spectrometry is reported. The patient showed an elevated concentration of butyrylcarnitine detected on newborn screening. Urinary excretion of ethylmalonic acid was elevated by urine organic acid analysis. To confirm the diagnosis of SCADD, a direct sequencing analysis of 10 coding exons and the exon-intron boundaries of the ACADS gene were performed. Genetic analysis of ACADS showed the following novel compound heterozygous missense mutations: c.277C>A (p.Leu93Ile) on exon3 and c.682G>A (p.Glu288Lys) on exon6. These results will provide further evidence of mutational heterogeneity for SCADD.

RESUMO

To explore the physiological role and biocatalytic properties of short-chain dehydrogenases from Pseudomonas fluorescens GIM1.49, we cloned the structural gene pfd and characterized its over-expressed product. The length of gene pfd was 684 bp encoding a short-chain dehydrogenase with 227 amino acid residues and calculated molecular mass of 24.2 kDa. The recombinant plasmid pET28b-pfd was constructed and functionally expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3), resulting in the over-production of recombinant short-chain dehydrogenase PFD with a size of 28 kDa. The enzyme could oxidize alcohols including 4-chloro-3-hydroxbutanoate ester and reduce 4-chloro-acetoacetate ester using either NAD(H) or NADP(H) as coenzyme. The enzyme showed the highest activity against 4-chloro-3-hydroxbutanoate ester as substrate, with Km of 186.40 mmol/L and Vmax of 89.56 U/mg. When catalying the oxidative reaction, its optimal temperature was 12 degrees C and optimal pH was 10.5, in contrast to the values of 24 degrees C and pH 8.8 in the reductive reaction. The enzyme had high solvent tolerance and its activity was improved by the addition of Ca2+ (1 mmol/L) or EDTA (5 mmol/L). These results indicated that the enzyme from Pseudomonas fluorescens GIM1.49 was a novel short-chain dehydrogenase and might play a role in oxidative degradation of halogenated secondary alcohols.
