A mutation in the insulin receptor gene that impairs transport of the receptor to the plasma membrane and causes insulin-resistant diabetes.

Abstract: Insulin binds to a receptor on the cell surface, thereby triggering a biological response within the target cell. Mutations in the insulin receptor gene can render the cell resistant to the biological action of insulin. We have studied a family in which two sisters have a genetic form of insulin‐resistant diabetes mellitus. The technique of homozygosity mapping has been used to demonstrate that the mutation causing diabetes in this consanguineous family is genetically linked to the insulin receptor gene. The t… Show more

“…But these different maturation steps proceed at a slower rate in IR R252C than in IRwt. These results are in agreement with previous studies showing that mutations in the N-terminal half of the α-subunit could impair intracellular transport [28,29,30,31,32,33]. One possible interpretation of these events is a misfolding of the protein in the endoplasmic reticulum.…”

“…codon 382 (TTCphej was reDlaced bv CTCL"" using a mutagenic oligonucleotide 'corresponding ti the same cDNA seque&e indicated above. Mutant cDNAs were then cloned in a SV40-based expression plasmid and transfected in NIH 3T3 cells as described before [3]. The presence of the point mutations at codons 381 and 382 was confirmed using a reverse transcriptase/polymerase chain reaction assay IRT/FCR) to amplify a fragment of human insulin receptor cDNA encompassing nucleotides 1,199-l ,308 [ 121 as described previously [3].…”

“…However, partially purified insulin receptors of PK were not autophosphorylated by incubation with IGF-I, indicating that IGF-I cannot activate the insulin receptor kinase in these cells. Several missense mutations have been characterized in the N-terminal c~-subunit of the insulin receptor which are all associated with incomplete processing and defective transport [36,[44][45][46][47][48] to the plasma membrane.
