The human protein ABC7 belongs to the adenosine
triphosphate-binding cassette transporter superfamily, and its yeast
orthologue, Atm1p, plays a central role in the maturation of cytosolic
iron-sulfur (Fe/S) cluster-containing proteins. Previously, a missense
mutation in the human ABC7 gene was shown to be the defect
in members of a family affected with X-linked sideroblastic anemia with
cerebellar ataxia (XLSA/A). Here, the promoter region and the
intron/exon structure of the human ABC7 gene were
characterized, and the function of wild-type and mutant ABC7 in
cytosolic Fe/S protein maturation was analyzed. The gene contains 16 exons, all with intron/exon boundaries following the AG/GT rule. A
single missense mutation was found in exon 10 of the ABC7
gene in 2 affected brothers with XLSA/A. The mutation was a G-to-A
transition at nucleotide 1305 of the full-length cDNA, resulting in a
charge inversion caused by the substitution of lysine for glutamate at
residue 433 C-terminal to the putative sixth transmembrane domain of
ABC7. Expression of normal ABC7 almost fully complemented the defect in
the maturation of cytosolic Fe/S proteins in a yeast strain in which
the ATM1 gene had been deleted ( atm1 cells). Thus, ABC7
is a functional orthologue of Atm1p. In contrast, the expression of
mutated ABC7 (E433K) or Atm1p (D398K) proteins in atm1 cells led to
a low efficiency of cytosolic Fe/S protein maturation. These data
demonstrate that both the molecular defect in XLSA/A and the impaired
maturation of a cytosolic Fe/S protein result from an ABC7
mutation in the reported family.
