A Novel Missense Mutation in AE1 Causing Autosomal Dominant Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis Retains Normal Transport Function but Is Mistargeted in Polarized Epithelial Cells
Mutations in SLC4A1, encoding the chloride-bicarbonate exchanger AE1, cause distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA), a disease of defective urinary acidification by the distal nephron. In this study we report a novel missense mutation, G609R, causing dominant dRTA in affected members of a large Caucasi...

These findings suggest that the seventh transmembrane domain that contains Gly-609 plays an important role in targeting kAE1 to the correct cell surface compartment. They confirm that dominant dRTA is associated with non-polarized trafficking of the protein, with no significant effect on anion transport function in vitro, which remains an unusual mechanism of human disease. 2018-07-24T03:37:50Z 2018-07-24T03:37:50Z 2004-04-02 Article Journal of Biological Chemistry.
