In humans, heterozygous PAX6 mutations cause aniridia and various other congenital eye abnormalities. Most frequent PAX6 missense mutations are located in the paired domain (PD), while very few missense mutations have been identified in the homeodomain (HD). In the present report, we describe a molecular analysis of the human PAX6 R242T missense mutation, which is located in the second helix of the HD. It was identified in a male child with partial aniridia in the left eye, presenting as a pseudo-coloboma. Gel-retardation assays revealed that the mutant HD binds DNA as well as the wild-type HD. In addition, the mutation does not modify the DNA-binding properties of the PD. Cell transfection assays indicated that the steady-state levels of the full length mutant protein are higher than those of the wild-type one. In cotransfection assays a PAX6 responsive promoter is activated to a higher extent by the mutant protein than by the wild-type protein. In vitro limited proteolysis assays indicated that the presence of the mutation reduces the sensitivity to trypsin digestion. Thus, we suggest that the R242T human phenotype could be due to abnormal increase of PAX6 protein, in keeping with the reported sensitivity of the eye phenotype to increased PAX6 dosage."xsd:string |
