I28-R145-HWA_59402022-04-12 The cblC disease is the most common inborn error of cobalamin metabolism. This is a monogenic disorder that affects all organs with patients presenting symptoms including cardiovascular, neurological, musculoskeletal, hematological and ocular problems. Oxidative stress and apoptosis have been implicated in the pathogenesis of this disease and certain pathogenic variants of the CblC protein have been shown to produce reactive oxygen species.\nHydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a biological oxidant and a signaling molecule that acts by modifying aminoacid residues in proteins. Cell biology studies have shown an increased formation of H2O2 in cells from cblC patients.\nThe aim of this Master Thesis is to study the effect of H2O2 on the catalytic activity of the wild type and pathogenic variants (R161Q, R161G and DelGln131) of the human CblC protein. The results showed that the oxidant H2O2 does not have any effect on the binding of substrate methylcobalamin (MeCbl) to wild type and pathogenic CblC protein. However, H2O2 reduced the observed rate of catalysis of both wild type and pathogenic CblC variants. Pathogenic variants R161Q and DelGln131 were the most sensitive to inhibition by H2O2. The substrates MeCbl and GSH protected the CblC protein from oxidative inactivation, suggesting that amino acid residues located at or near the active site could be the targets for H2O2. Examination of the X-ray crystal structure of CblC, as well as experiments with the thiol blocker iodoacetamide, suggest that Cys149 located in the cobalamin binding site could be important for catalysis and a target of oxidative inactivation. Finally, we tested two new cobalamins designed to recuperate loss of CblC activity in patients. The results show that the two cobalamins were effective in recuperating enzymatic activity in pathogenic variants of CblC, and also, in protecting wild type and CblC mutants from H2O2-mediated damage. Further studies are currently underway (beyond the scope of this thesis) to unequivocally identify the amino acid residue(s) targeted by H2O2 in CblC using redox proteomics and site-directed mutagenesis.

The cblC disease is the most common inborn error of cobalamin metabolism. This is a monogenic disorder that affects all organs with patients presenting symptoms including cardiovascular, neurological, musculoskeletal, hematological and ocular problems. Oxidative stress and apoptosis have been implicated in the pathogenesis of this disease and certain pathogenic variants of the CblC protein have been shown to produce reactive oxygen species.\nHydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a biological oxidant and a signaling molecule that acts by modifying aminoacid residues in proteins. Cell biology studies have shown an increased formation of H2O2 in cells from cblC patients.\nThe aim of this Master Thesis is to study the effect of H2O2 on the catalytic activity of the wild type and pathogenic variants (R161Q, R161G and DelGln131) of the human CblC protein. The results showed that the oxidant H2O2 does not have any effect on the binding of substrate methylcobalamin (MeCbl) to wild type and pathogenic CblC protein. However, H2O2 reduced the observed rate of catalysis of both wild type and pathogenic CblC variants. Pathogenic variants R161Q and DelGln131 were the most sensitive to inhibition by H2O2.
