Table 1. GAA protein and activity variation in transient transfected HEK293 cells.
M110 | C110 | C95 | C76 | M% | C% | Class | |
GAA-Trp746Cys | 3,4 | 3,4 | 3,4 | 3,4 | 6.4 | 28.5 | D |
GAA-Arg463fs | 1,1 | 3,4 | 3,4 | 3,4 | 1.1 | 8.3 | C |
GAA-Trp746Cys/ Arg463fs | 1,1 | 2,4 | 2,4 | 2,4 | 0.5 | 2.5 | B |
Note: M110, C10, C95, and C76 stand for the various molecular forms of GAA during posttranslational modification and were visualized by western blot in Figure 5A. The numbers refer to the severity scaling [22]. Class A mutations are very severe, class B mutations are potentially less severe, class C mutations are mild, and class D mutations are probably nonpathogenic. M% stands for the percentage of GAA activity in the culture medium and C% for the percentage of GAA activity in the cells as compared to wild-type GAA activity.
