摘要
Structured Abstract ObjectivesThe genetic basis of PFE (OMIM ID: 125350) was interrogated using molecular functional studies. PFE is a disorder that results in a poor prognosis in the eruption of teeth and by extension, in treatment with a continuous archwire. We tested the hypothesis that PTH1R mutations result in loss of function due to altered protein structure to determine (i) the fate of a functional PTH1R mutation and (ii) the resulting PTH1R protein structure of each functional mutation. MethodsWe used immunofluorescence assay of COS7 cells that were transfected with either the WT or 1092delG PTH1R mutation sequence to compare the fate of the expressed protein. We also performed in silico analysis of the WT PTH1R and four different functional PTH1R mutations ResultsFunctional studies (IFA) showed a variation in expression between the WT and mutant PTH1R. Further, in silico analysis showed structural differences between WT and mutant PTH1R proteins, particularly in the regions of the 3rd intracellular loop and the 6th transmembrane domain required for efficient PTH1R function. ConclusionPTH1R mutations identified in PFE likely result from diminished function due to truncation of the protein, lack of efficient G-protein interactions and putatively attenuated signal transduction. By identifying the mode of protein dysfunction, scientist-clinicians are better prepared to recognize and thereby develop improved methods of treatment, starting at the molecular level.
