CLONING

MPD synthase (DPM1; 603503) catalyzes the synthesis of mannose-P-dolichol (MPD), an essential sugar donor for glycoconjugates and an essential substrate for synthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositols (GPIs). The Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) Lec15 and Lec35 mutant cells are defective in synthesis and utilization, respectively, of MPD. Using an expression cloning strategy, Ware and Lehrman (1996) isolated SL15 (suppressor of Lec15), which was originally thought to correct the Lec15 phenotype and suppress the Lec35 mutation. In an erratum, the authors stated that correction of the Lec15 phenotype was not certain, but they remained confident that the SL15 cDNA suppressed the Lec35 mutation. Sequence analysis indicated that SL15 encodes a transmembrane protein with cytosolic C and N termini. There was no significant sequence similarity between SL15 and the S. cerevisiae MPD synthase, leading the authors to suggest that SL15 plays a distinct role in MPD synthesis. See also DPM2 (603564). Mao et al. (1998) identified an umbilical cord blood CD34-positive cell cDNA encoding the human homolog of SL15. The predicted human protein contains 247 amino acids.

MAPPING

By analysis of radiation hybrids, Mao et al. (1998) mapped the human SL15 gene to 17p13.1-p12. Gross (2014) mapped the MPDU1 gene to chromosome 17p13.1 based on an alignment of the MPDU1 sequence (GenBank GENBANK AF038961) with the genomic sequence (GRCh37).

MOLECULAR GENETICS

In 3 unrelated patients with congenital disorder of glycosylation type If (609180), Schenk et al. (2001) identified mutations in the MPDU1 gene: 2 patients of consanguineous parents were homozygotes (604041.0001 and 604041.0002, respectively) and the other was a compound heterozygote (604041.0003 and 604041.0004). In a patient with CDG If, Kranz et al. (2001) identified a homozygous point mutation in the MPDU1 gene (604041.0005). ... More on the omim web site
