Abstract:
:The Neu1 locus, in the S region of the murine histocompatibility-2 complex, regulates the sialic acid content of several liver lysosomal enzymes. Three alleles, Neu1a, Neu1b, and Neu1c, have been described on the basis of differential sialylation of the enzyme liver acid phosphatase. The Neu1a allele occurs in a small number of mouse strains, e.g., SM/J and is associated with sialidase deficiency. We recently described G9, a sialidase gene in the human major histocompatibility complex (Milner et al. (1997) J. Biol. Chem., 272, 4549-4558), and we now report the characterization of the equivalent gene in mouse. The protein product of the murine G9 gene is 409 amino acids in length and is 83% identical to its human orthologue. Expression of the murine G9 protein in insect cells has confirmed that it is a sialidase, with optimal activity at pH 5. To elucidate the basis of sialidase deficiency in mouse strains carrying the Neu1a allele, we have sequenced the G9 coding regions from mice carrying the three Neu1 alleles and hence defined the amino acid sequence characteristic of each allotype. Of particular interest is a Leu-209 to Ile mutation that is unique to the Neu1a allotype and is associated with reductions in sialidase activity of approximately 68% and approximately 88% compared to the Neu1b and Neu1c allotypes, respectively, when these three protein variants are expressed in insect cells. Additional factors, such as differential expression, may also influence the activities of the Neu1 allotypes in vivo. We have observed that the level of G9 mRNA is substantially reduced in mice carrying the Neu1a allele compared to the Neu1b (85-95% reduction) and Neu1c (approximately 70% reduction) alleles.
