The cytokine B cell activating factor (BAFF) and its receptor, BAFF receptor (BAFF-R), modulate signaling cascades critical for B cell development and survival. We identified a novel mutation in TNFRSF13C, the gene encoding human BAFF-R, that is present in both tumor and germline tissue from a subset of patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This mutation encodes a His159Tyr substitution in the cytoplasmic tail of BAFF-R adjacent to the TRAF3 binding motif. Signaling through this mutant BAFF-R results in increased NF-κB1 and NF-κB2 activity and increased immunoglobulin production compared with the wild-type (WT) BAFF-R. This correlates with increased TRAF2, TRAF3, and TRAF6 recruitment to His159Tyr BAFF-R. In addition, we document a requirement for TRAF6 in WT BAFF-R signaling. Together, these data identify a novel lymphoma-associated mutation in human BAFF-R that results in NF-κB activation and reveals TRAF6 as a necessary component of normal BAFF-R signaling.

We studied bicarbonate-induced stimulation of photophosphorylation in thylakoids isolated from leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana plants. This stimulation was not observed in thylakoids of wild-type in the presence of mafenide, a soluble carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, and was absent in thylakoids of two mutant lines lacking the gene encoding alpha carbonic anhydrase 5 (αCA5). Using mass spectrometry, we revealed the presence of αCA5 in stromal thylakoid membranes of wild-type plants. A possible mechanism of the photophosphorylation stimulation by bicarbonate that involves αCA5 is proposed.

Introduction Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) is a rare autosomal dominant subtype of migraine with aura. The FHM3 subtype is caused by mutations in SCN1A, which is also the most frequent epilepsy gene encoding the voltage-gated Na+ channel NaV1.1. The aim of this study was to explore the clinical, genetic and pathogenetic features of a pure FHM3 family. Methods A three-generation family was enrolled in this study for genetic testing and assessment of clinical features. Whole cell patch-clamp was performed to determine the functions of identified mutant NaV1.1 channels, which were transiently expressed in human tsA201 cells together with β1 and β2 subunits. Results and conclusions We identified a novel SCN1A (p.Leu1624Pro) mutation in a pure FHM family with notably early-onset attacks at mean age of 7. L1624P locates in S3 of domain IV, the same domain as two of four known pure FHM3 mutations. Compared to WT channels, L1624P displayed an increased threshold-near persistent current in addition to other gain-of-function features such as: a slowing of fast inactivation, a positive shift in steady-state inactivation, a faster recovery and higher channel availability during repetitive stimulation. Similar to the known FHM3 mutations, this novel mutation predicts hyperexcitability of GABAergic inhibitory neurons.

AbstractNephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a urinary concentrating defect resulting from resistance of the collecting duct to the antidiuretic action of vasopressin (AVP). The X-linked recessive form is the most frequent genetic cause of inherited NDI and can be caused by mutations in the gene encoding the V2 vasopressin receptor (AVPR2). A Palestinian male infant presented in the neonatal period with failure to thrive, vomiting, irritability, fever, and polyuria, and had biochemical findings consistent with NDI. The diagnosis of NDI was established based on the clinical picture, absent response to desmopressin, and a similarly affected elder brother. Sequencing of the AVPR2 gene for the patient and his affected brother revealed a novel missense mutation with replacement of G by A in codon 82 located in exon 2 (TGC → TAC), causing a cysteine to tyrosine substitution (C82Y). Testing of the mother showed that she was the carrier of that mutation. This is the identified AVPR2 mutation in a Palestinian family. Knowledge of these mutations will allow genetic counseling and early diagnosis of affected males.
