Abstract

Hemojuvelin (HJV) positively modulates the iron regulator hepcidin, and its mutations are the major cause of juvenile hemochromatosis (JH), a recessive disease leading to iron overload. Defective HJV reduces hepcidin up-regulation both in humans and in Hjv-deficient mice. To investigate the JH pathogenesis and the functional properties of human HJV we studied the biosynthesis and maturation of 6 HJV pathogenic mutants in HeLa and HepG2 cells. We show that proteolytic processing is defective in mutants F170S, W191C, and G320V, but not in G99V and C119F. Moreover, we show that mutants G99V and C119F are targeted to the cell surface, while F170S, W191C, G320V, and R326X (lacking the glycosilphosphatidylinositol [GPI] anchor) are mainly retained in the endoplasmic reticulum, although all mutants are released as soluble forms (s-HJV) in a proportion that is modulated by iron supplementation. Membrane HJV (m-HJV) is mainly composed of the cleaved protein, and its level is increased by iron in wild-type (WT) mice but not in the mutants. Altogether, the data demonstrate that the loss of HJV membrane export is central to the pathogenesis of JH, and that HJV cleavage is essential for the export. The results support a dual function for s- and m-HJV in iron deficiency and overload, respectively.

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.
