| Abstract | Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), a rare genetic and catastrophic disorder characterized by progressive heterotopic ossification, is caused by a point mutation, c.617G>A; p.R206H, in the activin A receptor type 1 (ACVR1) gene, one of the bone morphogenetic protein type I receptors (BMPR-Is). Although altered BMP signaling has been suggested to explain the pathogenesis, the molecular consequences of this mutation are still elusive. Here we studied the impact of ACVR1 R206H mutation on BMP signaling and its downstream signaling cascades in murine myogenic C2C12 cells and HEK 293 cells. We found that ACVR1 was the most abundant of the BMPR-Is expressed in mesenchymal cells but its contribution to osteogenic BMP signal transduction was minor. The R206H mutant caused weak activation of the BMP signaling pathway, unlike the Q207D mutant, a strong and constitutively active form. The R206H mutant showed a decreased binding affinity for FKBP1A/FKBP12, a known safeguard molecule against the leakage of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β or BMP signaling. The decreased binding affinity of FKBP1A to the mutant R206H ACVR1 resulted in leaky activation of the BMP signal, and moreover, it decreased steady-state R206H ACVR1 protein levels. Interestingly, while WT ACVR1 and FKBP1A were broadly distributed in plasma membrane and cytoplasm without BMP-2 stimulation and then localized in plasma membrane on BMP-2 stimulation, R206H ACVR1 and FKBP1A were mainly distributed in plasma membrane regardless of BMP-2 stimulation. The impaired binding to FKBP1A and an altered subcellular distribution by R206H ACVR1 mutation may result in mild activation of osteogenic BMP-signaling in extraskeletal sites such as muscle, which eventually lead to delayed and progressive ectopic bone formation in FOP patients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
