In the functional assay five conserved mutations were functional (S182T, W183Y, L184I, I187L, I190L).
To identify which of the mutations were functional, promoter constructs were prepared with a dibasic change (−270_−269AA), a single base change (−220A), and a construct with both changes (−270_−269AA and −220A) (Fig. 1C).
In yeast we show that PD-linked VPS35 mutations are functional and can normally complement VPS35 null phenotypes suggesting that they do not result in a loss-of-function.
Even though the repeat expansion mutation is a functional null mutation, few conventional mutations have been identified at this locus, largely due to the clinical laboratory focus on the repeat tract.
This could be because either a mutation is not functional (false positive) or below the limit of detection (false negative).
Although the A89V mutation is not functional in vision, BBS3 A89V RNA is able to suppress the cardinal zebrafish BBS phenotype of melanosome transport.
