A comprehensive map of human glucokinase variant activity
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
Background: Glucokinase (GCK) regulates insulin secretion to maintain appropriate blood glucose levels. Sequence variants can alter GCK activity to cause hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia associated with GCK-maturity-onset diabetes of the young (GCK-MODY), collectively affecting up to 10 million people worldwide. Patients with GCK-MODY are frequently misdiagnosed and treated unnecessarily. Genetic testing can prevent this but is hampered by the challenge of interpreting novel missense variants. Result: Here, we exploit a multiplexed yeast complementation assay to measure both hyper- and hypoactive GCK variation, capturing 97% of all possible missense and nonsense variants. Activity scores correlate with in vitro catalytic efficiency, fasting glucose levels in carriers of GCK variants and with evolutionary conservation. Hypoactive variants are concentrated at buried positions, near the active site, and at a region of known importance for GCK conformational dynamics. Some hyperactive variants shift the conformational equilibrium towards the active state through a relative destabilization of the inactive conformation. Conclusion: Our comprehensive assessment of GCK variant activity promises to facilitate variant interpretation and diagnosis, expand our mechanistic understanding of hyperactive variants, and inform development of therapeutics targeting GCK.

For GCK, the effects of nearly all possible missense and nonsense variants on enzyme activity and protein abundance have been studied in yeast complementation-based MAVEs.
“examples of notable progress are seen for monogenic diabetes genes glucokinase (GCK), for which the effects of nearly all possible missense and nonsense variants on enzyme activity and protein abundance have been studied in yeast complementation-based MAVEs (114, 115)”
From Massively parallel functional genomic assays in endocrinology: from promise to delivery (2026) · cites this paper as [115]
The Results section ('Assessing human GCK activity using yeast complementation'; page unavailable) reports yeast-complementation activity scores for 9003 of 9280 possible missense and nonsense GCK variants. The paper does not report corresponding measurements of protein abundance, so that part of the claim is unsupported by this source. (LLM, conf=0.88)

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.
