TBX15 Mutations Cause Craniofacial Dysmorphism, Hypoplasia of Scapula and Pelvis, and Short Stature in Cousin Syndrome  Ekkehart Lausch, Pia Hermanns, Henner F. Farin, Yasemin Alanay, Sheila Unger, Sarah Nikkel, Christoph Steinwender, Gerd Scherer, Jürgen Spranger, Bernhard Zabel, Andreas Kispert, Andrea Superti-Furga  The American Journal of Human Genetics  Volume 83, Issue 5, Pages 649-655 (November 2008) DOI: 10.1016/j.ajhg.2008.10.011 Copyright © 2008 The American Society of Human Genetics Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 Clinical Features of the Two Girls with Cousin Syndrome and TBX15 Mutations Patient 1 is age 5 yr in (A) and (B) and age 3 yr in (C); patient 2 is age 10 yr in (D), (E), and (F). The main features are bossing, malar hypoplasia, and a small chin; narrow palpebral fissures; a short neck with redundant skinfolds; low-set, posteriorly rotated, and dysplastic external ears; apparent femoral shortening because of femoral head dislocation; and short stature.

Figure 2 Radiographic Findings in Cousin Syndrome (A, C, and E) Patient 1. (B, D and F) Patient 2. Skeletal features seen in the two patients include aplasia of the blade of the scapula, humeroradial synostosis, marked hypoplasia of the iliac bones, and dislocation of the femoral heads. (G) A sagittal section of a cranial MRI of a normal woman aged 19 years. (H) A corresponding section from patient 2 at age 12 years. From the tip of the odontoid process in the center of each panel, the arrows extend anteriorly to the frontal bone and posteriorly to the posterior margin of the foramen magnum. Caudal displacement of the occipital bone is evident in the patient; note also the redundant skin fold over the posterior aspect of the neck. The cranial and skeletal features are remarkably similar to those seen in Tbx15-ablated mice.5 The American Journal of Human Genetics 2008 83, 649-655DOI: (10.1016/j.ajhg.2008.10.011) Copyright © 2008 The American Society of Human Genetics Terms and Conditions

Figure 3 Genomic TBX15 Mutations (A) The genomic TBX15 sequences in patient 1, patient 2, the mother of patient 2, and a control. Patient 1 is homozygous for c.1042 delA, and patient 2 is homozygous for c.1044 delA in the same codon. (B) The TBX15 mRNA levels in an age-matched control and patients' fibroblasts of the same passage by semiquantitative RT-PCR; expression of the mutant alleles was verified by cDNA sequencing. (C) A schematic representation of the two physiological transcripts of the TBX15 protein (differing in the start codon) as well as of the two predicted mutant ORFs; in the mutant proteins, the normal amino acid sequence is interrupted after amino acid 449 or 450 and is followed by a stretch of 78 or 77 missense amino acids. The DNA-binding T-box is preserved in both mutant variants.

Figure 4 In Vitro DNA Binding Analysis of Mutant TBX15 Proteins (A) The previously identified7 binding site of mouse Tbx15 (BSdir) that was tested in EMSAs. Arrows indicate the orientation of T-half sites. (B) Assays were performed with equal amounts of in vitro-synthesized Myc-tagged TBX15 proteins, as determined by anti-Myc immunoblot. All proteins were expressed with the expected molecular weights. (C) No differences in DNA binding to the site BSdir are observed between the C-terminally truncated form TBX15-del C-term protein and the wild-type form of TBX15 or the c.1042 delA and c.1044 delA mutants in a gel-shift assay. Equally strong complexes were detected for all proteins (asterisks). Specificity of binding was confirmed by addition of anti-Myc antibody, which resulted in the formation of a prominent supershifted complex (black arrowhead).

Figure 5 Immunoblot Analysis of TBX15 Protein in Patients' Fibroblasts and in Cell Transfection Experiments (A) Analysis of TBX15 proteins in subcellular fractions (C = cytoplasmic extract, N = nuclear extract) of patients' and control fibroblasts. A polyclonal antiserum directed against the amino-terminus of the long isoform of TBX15 (TBX15L) was used for the immunoblots, which show a strong reduction of the signal for the long isoform of TBX15 in both patients. The nature of the band that has an apparent molecular weight of approximately 50 kDa and migrates below TBX15L is unclear but may be due to cross-reactivity of the antiserum with the related protein TBX18. Membranes were reprobed with an antibody against β-actin so that equal loading could be ensured. (B) Disease-associated mutations confer instability to transgenic TBX15. Analysis of TBX15 proteins in subcellular fractions (C = cytoplasmic extract, N = nuclear extract) of human chondrosarcoma (HCS) cells overexpressing either FLAG-tagged wild-type short variant TBX15 or analogous constructs carrying the disease-associated mutations. An anti-FLAG immunoblot shows the presence of the wild-type recombinant protein only. (C) Disease-associated mutations confer instability to all isoforms of TBX15 and other proteins. Analysis of TBX15 proteins in human chondrosarcoma (HCS) cells overexpressing either EGFP-tagged wild-type TBX15 or constructs carrying the disease-associated mutations is shown. In addition, EGFP was fused directly to either the wild-type C-terminal portion of TBX15 (152 amino acids) or to the two stretches of 78 or 77 missense amino acids predicted by the human mutations. Whole-cell lysates were analyzed by anti-GFP immunoblot. Only lanes loaded with the wild-type fusion constructs gave a signal of the expected size. (D) The C-terminal sequences resulting from disease-associated TBX15 mutations confer instability by directing proteins to proteosomal degradation. Protein analysis of Myc-tagged wild-type TBX15, c.1042 delA, c.1044 delA, and ΔC proteins in HeLa cells probed in an anti-Myc immunoblot. Expression of TBX15 mutants c.1042 delA and c.1044 delA is strongly reduced in comparison to that of the TBX15-wt and Tbx15ΔC proteins (asterisks), indicating that the missense amino acids, and not the truncation, affect protein stability. Incubation with the proteasome inhibitor MG-132 (25 μM) leads to a marked stabilization of TBX15-c.1042 delA, and c.1044 delA proteins. No more slowly migrating bands that could represent poly-ubiquitinylated proteins were observed.

Figure 6 Fluorescence Studies of EGFP-Tagged TBX15 Constructs Intracellular localization of EGFP-tagged TBX15 proteins in HCS cells as detected by direct EGFP fluorescence microscopy. The TBX15 protein localizes exclusively (long variant [A]) or predominantly to the nucleus (short variant [B]; compare nuclear staining with DAPI), whereas TBX15-c.1042 delA and c.1044 delA are barely detectable, both in the context of the long and of the short variant. A similar loss of fluorescent signal was observed when the C terminus of the disease-associated protein variants was fused to EGFP (C). HCS cells were transduced with titered recombinant virus at the same MOI for all constructs. Scale bars represent 15 (A and B) or 25 (C) μm.
