PG - 124-129 LID - S0006-291X(21)01547-3 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.bbrc.2021.11.036 [doi] AB - Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD) is a rare monogenetic disease, which is characterized by susceptibility to some weakly virulent mycobacteria. Here, we explored the pathogenic genes and molecular mechanisms of MSMD patients. We recruited three patients diagnosed with MSMD from two families. Two novel mutations (c.1228A > G, p.K410E and c.2071A > G, p.M691V) in STAT1 gene were identified from two families. The translocation of K410E mutant STAT1 protein into nucleus was not affected. The binding ability between gamma-activating sequence (GAS) and K410E mutant STAT1 protein was significantly reduced, which will reduce the interaction between STAT1 protein with the promoters of target genes. The M691V mutant STAT1 protein cannot translocate into the nucleus after IFN-gamma stimulation, which will affect the STAT1 protein form gamma-activating factors (GAF) and bind the GAS in the promoter region of downstream target genes. Taken together, our results showed that the mutation of K410E led to impaired binding of STAT1 to target DNA, and the mutation of M691V prevented the transport of STAT1 into the nucleus, which led to MSMD. Together, we identified two novel mutations (c.1228A > G, p.K410E and c.2071A > G, p.M691V) in STAT1 gene in MSMD patients, and deciphered the molecular mechanism of MSMD caused by STAT1 mutations.
