Mapping mutations of ARS A

Mutations in general

Mutations are changes in the genomic nucleotide sequence of an organism. These changes are accidentally introduced, e.g. if wrong bases are incorporated during DNA replication. The common types of mutations are insertions into the DNA, deletions from it or Nucleotide substitutions.
Depending on the type mutation on the DNA level, it might influence the structure or function of a protein in different extent.

• Frameshift mutation: If an insertion or deletion of a sequence occurs - and if the length of this sequence is not divisible by 3 - the reading frame of the downstream protein sequence is shifted either by one or two nucleotides. This leads to a completely different translation of the mRNA into the protein and if the downstream regions is long the protein is likely to be dysfunctional.
• In a nonsense mutation the codon of an amino acid within the protein is changed, such that a premature stop codon arises. This leads to trncation of the downstream protein sequence. The protein is likely to be dysfunctional if the truncated sequence is long.
• A missense mutation describes an alteration of the codon, such that the amino acid in the protein is changed. Depending on the properties and location of the mutated amino acid, changes in structure and function can have a more or less dramatic effect.
• In a silent mutation, the mutated codon still encodes the same amino acid. Thus the amino acid sequence of the protein is not changed and no structural or functional alteration should be observed.

In the following, we will map known nonsense, missense and silent (= synonymous) mutations from the databases dbSNP and HGMD on the sequence and the structure of the lysosomal enzyme ARS A.

dbSNP

The "SNP" search for ARSA yielded 123 known human mutations for the protein. These are more than selecting the SNPO over the GeneView interface... This is because there exist two isoforms of ARSA and we manually checked that a lot of the other mutations belonged to the other isoform (NP_001078897). We used the isoform, which we have used so far (NP_000478). We chose the gene sequence within GeneView such that it matched the sequence version, that we used so far.

There are 3 identical mutated residues, that are annotated in both databases are at position:

• 193: The mutations are different. In HGMD, the mutation results in a premature stop codon, thus the main part of the whole protein is truncated. In dbSNP, there is a amino acid substitution (W -> C).
• 136: The mutationas are different amino acid substitutions. P -> L is annotated in HGMD and P -> A is annotated in dbSNP.
• 82: Is mutation is identical in both databases and leads to a substitution: P -> L.

Structure of ARSA. Synonymous mutations are shown in green, missense/nonsense mutations in red. The active site is depicted in yellow.
