The genomic analysis brings a new piece to the molecular jigsaw of idiopathic erythrocytosis.

ABSTRACT: Erythrocytosis is a clinical condition characterized by increased red cell mass, hemoglobin, and hematocrit values. A significant fraction of patients is described as having idiopathic erythrocytosis. We have previously demonstrated an association between erythrocytosis and the JAK2 GGCC_46/1 haplotype and CALR rs1049481_G allele. In the present study, we investigated genomic and clinical features of 80 erythrocytosis patients with the aim to provide useful information in clinical practice. Patients with idiopathic erythrocytosis could have a genomic germline background, eventually associated with somatic variants. Through association analysis, we show that male patients presenting with idiopathic erythrocytosis, and normal EPO levels could be the best candidates for the search for the JAK2 GGCC_46/1 haplotype and CALR rs1049481_G allele. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings and to depict detailed genomic and phenotypical characteristics of these patients.

Project description:UnlabelledThere are nine subtypes of influenza A virus neuraminidase (NA), N1 to N9. In addition, influenza B virus also contains NA, and there are two influenza virus NA-like molecules, N10 and N11, which were recently identified from bats. Crystal structures for all of these proteins have been solved, with the exception of N7, and there is no published report of N6, although a structure has been deposited in the Protein Data Bank. Here, we present the N7 and N6 structures at 2.1 Å and 1.8 Å, respectively. Structural comparison of all NA subtypes shows that both N7 and N6 highly resemble typical group 2 NA structures with some special characteristics, including an additional cavity adjacent to their active sites formed by novel 340-loop conformations. Comparative analysis also revealed new structural insights into the N-glycosylation, calcium binding, and second sialic acid binding site of influenza virus NA. This comprehensive study is critical for understanding the complexity of the most successful influenza drug target and for the structure-based design of novel influenza inhibitors.ImportanceInfluenza viruses impose a great burden on society, by the human-adapted seasonal types as well as by variants that occasionally jump from the avian reservoir to infect humans. The surface glycoprotein neuraminidase (NA) is essential for the propagation of the virus and currently the most successfully drug-targeted molecule. Therefore, the structural and functional analysis of NA is critical for the prevention and control of influenza infections. There are nine subtypes of influenza A virus NA (N1 to N9). In addition, influenza B virus also contains NA, and there are two influenza NA-like molecules, N10 and N11, which were recently identified in bats. Crystal structures for all of these proteins have been solved and reported with the exception of N7 and N6. The structural analysis of influenza virus N7 and N6 presented in this study therefore completes the puzzle and adds to a comprehensive understanding of influenza virus NA.
