Experimental evolution of phosphomannomutase-deficient yeast reveals compensatory mutations in a phosphoglucomutase
Open accessPreprint — published as 10.7554/elife.79346 · Paper page
Abstract
The most common cause of human congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are mutations in the phosphomannomutase gene PMM2 , which affect protein N -linked glycosylation. The yeast gene SEC53 encodes a nearly-identical homolog of human PMM2 . We evolved 384 populations of yeast harboring one of two human-disease-associated alleles, sec53 -V238M and sec53 -F126L, or wild-type SEC53 . We find that after 1,000 generations, most populations compensate for the slow-growth phenotype associated with the sec53 human-disease-associated alleles. Through whole-genome sequencing we identify compensatory mutations, including known SEC53 genetic interactors. We observe an enrichment of compensatory mutations in other genes whose human homologs are associated with Type 1 CDG, including PGM1 , which encodes the minor isoform of phosphoglucomutase in yeast. By genetic reconstruction, we show that evolved pgm1 mutations are dominant and allele-specific genetic interactors that restore both protein glycosylation and growth of yeast harboring the sec53 -V238M allele. Finally, we characterize the enzymatic activity of purified Pgm1 mutant proteins. We find that reduction, but not elimination, of Pgm1 activity best compensates for the deleterious phenotypes associated with the sec53 -V238M allele. Broadly, our results demonstrate the power of experimental evolution as a tool for identifying genes and pathways that compensate for human-disease associated alleles.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
