Disease

GMPPA_HUMAN Triple A syndrome. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Function

GMPPA_HUMAN Regulatory subunit of the GMPPA-GMPPB mannose-1-phosphate guanylyltransferase complex; reduces the catalytic activity of GMPPB when part of the complex (PubMed:24035193, PubMed:33986552). Mediates allosteric feedback inhibition of GMPPB catalytic activity upon binding GDP-alpha-D-mannose (PubMed:24035193, PubMed:33986552). Together with GMPPB regulates GDP-alpha-D-mannose levels (PubMed:33986552).[1] [2]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

GDP-mannose (GDP-Man) is a key metabolite essential for protein glycosylation and glycophosphatidylinositol anchor synthesis, and aberrant cellular GDP-Man levels have been associated with multiple human diseases. How cells maintain homeostasis of GDP-Man is unknown. Here, we report the cryo-EM structures of human GMPPA-GMPPB complex, the protein machinery responsible for GDP-Man synthesis, in complex with GDP-Man or GTP. Unexpectedly, we find that the catalytically inactive subunit GMPPA displays a much higher affinity to GDP-Man than the active subunit GMPPB and, subsequently, inhibits the catalytic activity of GMPPB through a unique C-terminal loop of GMPPA. Importantly, disruption of the interactions between GMPPA and GMPPB or the binding of GDP-Man to GMPPA in zebrafish leads to abnormal brain development and muscle abnormality, analogous to phenotypes observed in individuals carrying GMPPA or GMPPB mutations. We conclude that GMPPA acts as a cellular sensor to maintain mannose homeostasis through allosterically regulating GMPPB.
