A missense change in the canine ALPL gene. (a) Sequence chromatograms of the ALPL c.1301T > G variant in exon 11 and a schematic representation of the ALPL gene. (b) Structure of the TNSALP polypeptide and multiple sequence alignment of the variant position in 18 mammalian species. Amino acid residues that make up the active site and the homodimerization interface are scattered along the polypeptide chain, whereas the calcium binding site and the crown domain form separate entities34. The p. V434G missense change is located within the crown domain. Those amino acid residues that contain HPP-associated variants in humans are marked on top of the alignment and highlighted in grey (http://www.sesep.uvsq.fr/03_hypo_mutations.php). (c) Side and top views of the three-dimensional (3D) structure of the TNSALP homodimer, modelled from the crystal structure of the human placental alkaline phosphatase32. The two monomers are separated by different colours. The Val434 position is denoted with yellow, the active site residues with red and the collagen binding motif with black. The crown domain forms a flexible loop structure on top of the homodimer.
