Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the TSC1 or TSC2 genes. The TSC1 and TSC2 gene products, TSC1 and TSC2, form a complex that inhibits the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex 1 (TORC1). Previously, we demonstrated that pathogenic amino acid substitutions in the N-terminal domain of TSC1 (amino acids 50-224) are destabilising. Here we investigate an additional 21 unclassified TSC1 variants. Our functional assessment identified 4 substitutions (p.L61R, p.G132D, p.F158S and p.R204P) between amino acids 50 and 224 that reduced TSC1 stability and prevented the TSC1-TSC2-dependent inhibition of TORC1. In 4 cases (20%) our functional assessment did not agree with the predictions of the SIFT amino acid substitution analysis software. Our new data confirm our previous finding that the N-terminal region of TSC1 is essential for TSC1 function.
