| Abstract | Fabry disease comprises classic and variant phenotypes. The former needs early enzyme replacement therapy, and galactose infusion is effective for some variant cases. Attempts of early diagnosis before manifestations appear will begin in the near future. However, it is difficult to predict the phenotype, to determine the therapeutic approach, only from genetic information. Thus we attempted structural analysis from a novel viewpoint. We built structural models of mutant α-galactosidases resulting from 161 missense mutations (147 classic and 14 variant), and evaluated the influence of each replacement on the structure by calculating the numbers of atoms affected. Among them, 11 mutants, biochemically characterized, were further investigated by color imaging of the influenced atoms. In the variant group, the number of atoms influenced by amino-acid replacement was small, especially in the main chain. In 85% of the cases, less than three atoms in the main chain are influenced. In this group, small structural changes, located apart from the active site, result in destabilization of the mutant enzymes, but galactose can stabilize them. Structural changes caused by classic Fabry mutations are generally large or are located in functionally important regions. In 82% of the cases, three atoms or more in the main chain are affected. The classic group comprises dysfunctional and unstable types, and galactose is not expected to stabilize the mutant enzymes. This study demonstrated the correlation of structural changes, and clinical and biochemical phenotypes. Structural investigation is useful for elucidating the bases of Fabry disease and clinical treatment. |

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.
