Phenotype of fatty due to Gln269Pro mutation in the leptin receptor (Lepr)
ABSTRACT
The rat fatty (fa) mutation produces profound obesity of early onset
caused by hyperphagia, defective nonshivering thermogenesis, and
preferential deposition of energy into adipose tissue. Genetic mapping
studies indicate that fa and diabetes (db) are homologous loci in the rat
and mouse genomes, respectively. It has been shown that db alleles carry
mutations in the Lepr (leptin receptor) gene. This paper describes a point
mutation in the fatty allele of Lepr. A nucleotide substitution at position
880 (A-->C) causes an amino acid substitution at position 269
(Gln-->Pro). The mutation generates a novel Msp I site that cosegregates
with fa in 1,028 meioses examined in obese F2 progeny from two crosses
(Bnx13M and WKYx13M) and is still segregating in three rat colonies.
PCR-based mutagenesis was used to introduce the fa mutation into the mouse
Lepr cDNA. Transient transfection studies indicate that the mutant Lepr
cDNA has greatly reduced binding of leptin (Lep) at the cell surface. These
data are strong evidence that the single nucleotide substitution in the fa
allele of Lepr (Leprfa) is responsible for the obese phenotype.
