Mutations in UGDH enzyme possibly affect critical amino-acids.aUGDH genomic and protein domain structures. Type and positions of 22 germline UGDH mutations. 5′ and 3′ UTRs are shown in dark gray. NAD-binding (blue), central (pink), and UDP-binding (orange) domains are highlighted. Homozygous mutations are shown in bold. Compound heterozygous mutations that are in trans are linked by a line below the UGDH domain structure. b–d Three close-up views ribbon diagrams of the UGDH protein bound to UDP-Glc and NADH. b Interface between the central domains of subunits A and B. c NAD-binding site in NAD-binding domain of subunit A. Distances between NADH and mutated residues in patients are measured in Angström (Å). d Interface between the subunit A NAD-binding domain with the subunit C UDP-Glc-binding domain. In all the structures, residues carrying missense mutations in the patients are highlighted as 3D backbone. Residues Q110 and T325 known to interact together for dimer formation15; and residue V132, which is important for hexamerization15 are highlighted in black backbone. In all the structures, NAD-binding (blue), central (light/dark pink), and UDP-binding (orange) domains are shown. UDP-Glc (dark red) and NADH (midnight blue) are represented as colored carbon backbones. Adapted from PDB code 2Q3E6 using the Swiss-Pdb Viewer software67.
