Effects of novel maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY)-associated mutations on glucokinase activity and protein stability

TL;DR: Enzymatic assays on the recombinant proteins revealed that mutations Thr206-->Met and Leu165-->Phe strongly affect the kinetic parameters of glucokinase, in agreement with the localization of both residues close to the active site of the enzyme.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential effects of HNF-1α mutations associated with familial young-onset diabetes on target gene regulation

TL;DR: The results suggest that HNF1A mutations may have differential effects on the regulation of specific target genes, which could contribute to the variability of the MODY3 clinical phenotype.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heterogeneity in phenotype of hyperinsulinism caused by activating glucokinase mutations: a novel mutation and its functional characterization

TL;DR: Mutations in the GCK gene lead to different forms of glucokinase (GCK)‐disease, activating mutations cause hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia while inactivating mutations cause monogenic diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

A conserved ATG2 binding site in WIPI4 and yeast Hsv2 is disrupted by mutations causing β-propeller protein-associated neurodegeneration.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that Hsv2 and a pool of Atg2 colocalize on endosomes under basal conditions, and at the pre-autophagosomal structure (PAS) upon autophagy induction.
