On the defect of synthesis ceruloplasmin in the liver polyribosomes in Wilson's disease

Abstract: Comparative immunochemical analysis of ceruloplasmin-synthesizing polyribosomes in liver biopsies from control subjects and homozygous carriers of the Wilson's mutation was performed. According to I125-antibody binding data, the amount of ceruloplasmin-forming liver polysomes in patients with Wilson's disease was 10--20 times lower than that in non-Wilson patients. Correspondingly, the pulse labeling of ceruloplasmin polypeptides was decreased several-fold in the cell-free liver preparations from patients with… Show more

“…[3H]-Borohydride reduction of end groups in RNA was carried out essentially according to Cory et al (10) with minor modifications. A sample of a total volume 30 #1, containing 10 #g RNA in 10 mM EDTA, pH 8.0, was heated in a siliconized capillary tube at 65 ~ for 5 rain and then oxidized with 9 #1 of freshly prepared 2.5 mM sodium periodate.…”

“…The special interest in the mechanisms of CP biosynthesis and control of this process is related to the fact that Wilson disease (hepatolenticular degeneration), a severe human autosomal-recessive disease is associated with both structural anomalies of CP (9) and quantitative defects in its synthesis by liver polyribosomes (10). Further analysis of the possible molecular mechanisms underlying the inherited defects of CP synthesis is to be based on the knowledge of normal pathways of synthesis, maturation and secretion of this protein, Information of that kind as well as the data on the control of the expression of CP gene in normal hepatocytes are evidently insufficient.…”

“…The changes in its structure and insufficiency of its synthesis are phenotypic manifestations of Wilson mutation (hepatolenticular degeneration) in man (2,3). However the molecular mechanisms underlying the deficiency in the synthesis, maturation and secretion of CP in the homozygous carrier of this mutation remain unclear.…”

“…However, with respect to coeruloplasmin as a protein with peculiar copper transfer functions [4] these problems remain to be studied. The interest in the synthesis and secretion of coeruloplasmin is evoked by the fact that selective insufficiency of the synthesis of this protein is a characteristic feature of hepatolenticular degeneration, or Wilson disease, a serious human hereditary disease [1,5]. Of significant interest would be the identification of the primary mutation-induced defect of coeruloplasmin synthesis in various forms of this disease, which is known as a genetically heterogeneous trait.…”
