1 High Frequency of Hermansky–Pudlak Syndrome Type 1 (HPS1) Among Japanese Albinism Patients and Functional Analysis of HPS1 Mutant Protein  Shiro Ito, Tamio Suzuki, Katsuhiko Inagaki, Noriyuki Suzuki, Kenji Takamori, Tomoko Yamada, Mitsuru Nakazawa, Michihiro Hatano, Hirotsugu Takiwaki, Yumi Kakuta, Richard A.

2 Figure 1 Presence of Hermansky–Pudlak syndrome (HSP)4 protein in cultured mouse melanocyte lines. Cell extracts of wild-type melan-a (lane 1), Hps3-mutant (melan-coa; lane 2), Hps4-mutant (melan-le; lane 3), and Hps1—mutant (melan-ep; lane 4) melanocytes were immunoblotted using affinity-purified polyclonal antisera to mouse HPS4 protein. The mouse HPS4 protein reproducibly migrates at ∼80 kDa on SDS-PAGE. Anti-β-actin antibody was used as a control for protein loading.

3 Figure 2 Expression of exogenous human Hermansky–Pudlak syndrome type 1 (HPS1) and endogenous HPS4 proteins in melan-ep cells. Melan-ep melanocytes were transfected using pIREShyg3-HPS1normal (lane 1), pIREShyg3-HPS1mutantL668P (lane 2), and by pIREShyg3 as a mock (lane 3). Then the cell extracts were immunoblotted using the antibodies. Top: anti-HPS1 antibody; Middle: anti-HPS4 antibody; bottom: anti-β-actin antibody as a control for protein loading. Exogenous normal and L668P-mutant HPS1 protein were abundantly expressed in transfected cells. Endogenous HPS4 protein, however, was restored only in melan-ep cells transfected by the normal HPS1 expression plasmid.

4 Figure 3 Mutations of Hermansky–Pudlak syndrome type 1 (HPS1) gene. Five single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) used for the haplotype analysis (upper) and eight mutations of HPS1 gene identified in this study (lower). Asterisks indicate novel mutations identified in this study.
