| Abstract | A form of autosomal dominant juvenile myoclonic epilepsy is caused by a nonconservative missense mutation, A322D, in the GABAA receptor alpha1 subunit M3 transmembrane helix. We reported previously that the A322D mutation reduced total and surface alpha1(A322D) subunit protein and that residual alpha1(A322D) subunit resided in the endoplasmic reticulum. Here, we demonstrate that the reduction in alpha1(A322D) expression results from rapid endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation of the alpha1(A322D) subunit through the ubiquitin-proteasome system. We provide direct evidence that the alpha1(A322D) subunit misfolds and show that in at least 33% of alpha1(A322D) subunits, M3 failed to insert into the lipid bilayer. We constructed a series of mutations in the M3 domain and empirically determined the apparent free energy cost (DeltaGapp) of membrane insertion failure, and we show that the DeltaGapp correlated directly with the recently elucidated transmembrane sequence code (DeltaGLep). These data provide a biochemical mechanism for the pathogenesis of this epilepsy mutation and demonstrate that DeltaGLep predicts the efficiency of lipid partitioning of a naturally occurring protein's transmembrane domain expressed in vivo. Finally, we calculated the DeltaDeltaGLep for 277 known transmembrane missense mutations associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, diabetes insipidus, retinitis pigmentosa, cystic fibrosis, and severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy and showed that the majority of these mutations also are likely to destabilize transmembrane domain membrane insertion, but that only a minority of the mutations would be predicted to be as destabilizing as the A322D mutation. |

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.
