- W2890225916 abstract "Familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 2 (ALS2) is a juvenile autosomal recessive motor neuron disease caused by the mutations in the ALS2 gene. The ALS2 gene product, ALS2/alsin, forms a homophilic oligomer and acts as a guanine nucleotide–exchange factor (GEF) for the small GTPase Rab5. This oligomerization is crucial for both Rab5 activation and ALS2-mediated endosome fusion and maturation in cells. Recently, we have shown that pathogenic missense ALS2 mutants retaining the Rab5 GEF activity fail to properly localize to endosomes via Rac1-stimulated macropinocytosis. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying dysregulated distribution of ALS2 variants remain poorly understood. Therefore, we sought to clarify the relationship between intracellular localization and oligomeric states of pathogenic ALS2 variants. Upon Rac family small GTPase 1 (Rac1) activation, all mutants tested moved from the cytosol to membrane ruffles but not to macropinosomes and/or endosomes. Furthermore, most WT ALS2 complexes were tetramers. Importantly, the sizes of an ALS2 complex carrying missense mutations in the N terminus of the regulator of chromosome condensation 1–like domain (RLD) or in-frame deletion in the pleckstrin homology domain were shifted toward higher molecular weight, whereas the C-terminal vacuolar protein sorting 9 (VPS9) domain missense mutant existed as a smaller dimeric or trimeric smaller form. Furthermore, in silico mutagenesis analyses using the RLD protein structure in conjunction with a cycloheximide chase assay in vitro disclosed that these missense mutations led to a decrease in protein stability. Collectively, disorganized higher structures of ALS2 variants might explain their impaired endosomal localization and the stability, leading to loss of the ALS2 function.
