- GNAO1-related neurodevelopmental disorders are caused by mutations in the GNAO1 gene encoding the major neuronal G protein, Gαo. GNAO1 encephalopathies manifest in a range of symptoms, including epilepsy, movement disorder, hypotonia, and developmental delay, affecting >400 patients worldwide to date. A growth in the number of diagnosed cases is expected due to the wider availability of whole genome sequencing. One of the most recurrent pathogenic variants causing GNAO1 encephalopathy is an intronic mutation c.724-8G>A, which results in an in-frame insertion of two amino acid residues, Pro-Gln, after Thr241: Gαo[T241_N242insPQ]. We previously performed in-depth profiling of Gαo[insPQ] using structural, biochemical, and cellular studies. Compared with the wild-type protein, Gαo[insPQ] exhibits faster GTP binding and decreased hydrolysis. Importantly, Gαo[insPQ] is deficient in interacting with regulator of G protein signaling (RGS), GTPase-activating proteins that deactivate Gαo. These defects render Gαo[insPQ] a constitutively active mutant loaded with GTP in the G protein signaling. Patients harboring Gαo[insPQ] variant are in urgent need of novel therapy as they are refractory to available medications. In the present study, we performed a high-throughput screening to find molecules that might suppress the constitutive GTP loading by Gαo[insPQ]. We used a high-diversity chemical library of 54080 compounds, identifying a novel compound, N-[5-(2-methylpropyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl]-1H-1,2,3-benzotriazole-5-carboxamide, that decreases the GTP binding rate of Gαo, likely acting as a competitive inhibitor with higher selectivity to the pathogenic protein. This small-molecule inhibitor of Gαo opens new opportunities to drug discovery towards Gαo-dependent pathologies. - Source: PubMed

However, the molecular mechanisms underlying their progression remain poorly understood. This study therefore presents the integrative phosphoproteomic analysis of EMN tissue, with the aim of elucidating stage-specific alterations in signalling pathways and metabolism. Nineteen tissue samples from grey horses were categorised as normal-stage (n = 6), early-stage EMN (n = 7), and severe-stage EMN (n = 6) and subjected to in-depth analysis using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). A total of 2035 phosphoproteins were identified, of which 219 were differentially expressed across the disease stages. Interestingly, early-stage EMN showed dysregulation of inositol phosphate metabolism and activation of the PI3K-Akt pathway which involved INPP5F and PKN2. In severe-stage EMN, upregulation of SYNJ1, STRN4 and VIM indicated enhanced membrane trafficking, cytoskeletal remodelling, and MAPK signalling. Additionally, ASPM and GNAO1 upregulation reflected heightened proliferation and altered Rap1 signalling, while UBR5 dysregulation suggested aberrant protein homeostasis. Metabolic reprogramming was also noticed, with elevated TKT and GAPDH expression supporting glycolysis and NADPH production. Observably, the severe-stage EMN exhibited a higher expression of Dickkopf-3 (DKK3) which suggests a role in aberrant Wnt/β-catenin activation and tumour progression. These findings reveal stage-specific molecular mechanisms in EMN pathogenesis and highlight potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for equine melanoma. - Source: PubMed

Domínguez-Carral JanaOrtigoza-Escobar Juan Darío - Neurodevelopmental disorders feature various symptoms that frequently include seizures and motor manifestations, but their attribution to disruptions of specific circuits and molecular alterations is notoriously hard to establish, which limits therapeutic interventions. Among these, is the GNAO1 disorder a severe pediatric encephalopathy associated with mutations in a gene encoding G protein subunit Gαo, a key transducer of neuromodulatory responses mediated by a vast number of G protein-coupled receptors. - Source: PubMed
