Chemical compound and disease context of SLC37A4

 

Biological context of SLC37A4

  • G6Pase and G6PT work in concert to maintain glucose homeostasis in gluconeogenic organs [9].
  • Rapid confirmation of clinically suspected diagnosis of GSD 1, reliable carrier testing, and prenatal diagnosis are facilitated by mutation analyses of the chromosome 11-bound G6PT gene as well as the chromosome 17-bound G6Pase gene [9].
  • Whereas G6Pase is exclusively expressed in gluconeogenic cells, G6PT is ubiquitously expressed and its deficiency generally causes a more severe phenotype [9].
  • A mRNA leucocyte G6PT deficiency has been suggested to account for the glucose phosphorylation and subsequent calcium sequestration defects observed in theses cells [10].
  • Here, we report on the analysis by single-stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and/or DNA sequencing of the exons of the G6PT in 14 patients diagnosed either as affected by the GSD 1b or 1c subtypes [11].
 

Anatomical context of SLC37A4

  • Both G6Pase and G6PT are associated with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane [12].
  • Using amino- and carboxyl-terminal tagged G6PT, we demonstrate that proteolytic digestion of intact microsomes resulted in the cleavage of both tags, indicating that both termini of G6PT face the cytoplasm [1].
  • Quantitative analysis of glucose-6-phosphate translocase gene expression in various human tissues and haematopoietic progenitor cells [3].
  • Further, we show that G6PT mRNA is expressed in all organs and tissues examined, but that the vG6PT transcript is expressed exclusively in the brain, heart, and skeletal muscle [13].
  • Conversely, expression of both the mouse homologue of the previously-described brain-specific G6P translocase T1 (G6PT1) variant and of the hepatic G6PT1 isoform was easily detectable in hypothalamus and cortex tissues [14].
 

Associations of SLC37A4 with chemical compounds

  • GSD 1 non-a is characterized by defective microsomal glucose-6-phosphate or pyrophosphate/phosphate transport due to mutations in G6PT (glucose-6-phosphate translocase gene) encoding a microsomal transporter protein [9].
  • It was suggested that GSD1b patients suffered from a G6P transporter (G6PT) defect and the first mutation in the G6PT gene subsequently recognised [10].
  • To determine which of these two models is correct, we generated two G6PT mutants, T53N and S55N, that created a potential Asn-linked glycosylation site at residues 53-55 (N53SS) or 55-57 (N55QS), respectively [1].
  • A region of G6PT corresponding to amino acid residues 50-71, which constitute a transmembrane segment in the twelve-domain model, are situated in a 51-residue luminal loop in the ten-domain model [1].
  • Whereas wild-type G6PT is not a glycoprotein, both T53N and S55N mutants are glycosylated, strongly supporting the ten-helical model for G6PT [1].
