Abstract
Pharmacological research has expanded to the nanoscale level with advanced imaging technologies, enabling the analysis of drug distribution at the cellular organelle level. These advances in research techniques have contributed to the targeting of cellular organelles to address the fundamental causes of diseases. Beyond navigating the hurdles of reaching lesion tissues upon administration and identifying target cells within these tissues, controlling drug accumulation at the organelle level is the most refined method of disease management. This approach opens new avenues for the development of more potent therapeutic strategies by delving into the intricate roles and interplay of cellular organelles. Thus, organelle-targeted approaches help overcome the limitations of conventional therapies by precisely regulating functionally compartmentalized spaces based on their environment. This review discusses the basic concepts of organelle targeting research and proposes strategies to target diseases arising from organelle dysfunction. We also address the current challenges faced by organelle targeting and explore future research directions.

Jiang X, Yang C, Wang Z, Liang L, Gong Z, Huang S, Xu Z, Zhang B, Pei X, Cai L, Wang H, Lin Z. Loss-of-function variants in GLMN are associated with generalized skin hyperpigmentation with or without glomuvenous malformation. Br J Dermatol 2024; 191:107-116. [PMID: 38489583 DOI: 10.1093/bjd/ljae108] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2023] [Revised: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 03/08/2024] [Indexed: 03/17/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Inherited hyperpigmented skin disorders comprise a group of entities with considerable clinical and genetic heterogenicity. The genetic basis of a majority of these disorders remains to be elucidated. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to identify the underlying gene for an unclarified disorder of autosomal-dominant generalized skin hyperpigmentation with or without glomuvenous malformation. METHODS Whole-exome sequencing was performed in five unrelated families with autosomal-dominant generalized skin hyperpigmentation. Variants were confirmed using Sanger sequencing and a minigene assay was employed to evaluate the splicing alteration. Immunofluorescence and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to determine the quantity of melanocytes and melanosomes in hyperpigmented skin lesions. GLMN knockdown by small interfering RNA assays was performed in human MNT-1 cells to examine melanin concentration and the underlying molecular mechanism. RESULTS We identified five variants in GLMN in five unrelated families, including c.995_996insAACA(p.Ser333Thrfs*11), c.632 + 4delA, c.1470_1473dup(p.Thr492fs*12), c.1319G > A(p.Trp440*) and c.1613_1614insTA(Thr540*). The minigene assay confirmed that the c.632 + 4delA mutant resulted in abolishment of the canonical donor splice site. Although the number of melanocytes remained unchanged in skin lesions, as demonstrated by immunofluorescent staining of tyrosinase and premelanosome protein, TEM revealed an increased number of melanosomes in the skin lesion of a patient. The GLMN knockdown MNT-1 cells demonstrated a higher melanin concentration, a higher proportion of stage III and IV melanosomes, upregulation of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor and tyrosinase, and downregulation of phosphorylated p70S6 K vs. mock-transfected cells. CONCLUSIONS We found that loss-of-function variants in GLMN are associated with generalized skin hyperpigmentation with or without glomuvenous malformation. Our study implicates a potential role of glomulin in human skin melanogenesis, in addition to vascular morphogenesis.

Abstract
ATP-binding cassette transporter B6 (ABCB6), a protein essential for heme biosynthesis in mitochondria, also functions as a heavy metal efflux pump. Here, we present cryo-electron microscopy structures of human ABCB6 bound to a cadmium Cd(II) ion in the presence of antioxidant thiol peptides glutathione (GSH) and phytochelatin 2 (PC2) at resolutions of 3.2 and 3.1 Å, respectively. The overall folding of the two structures resembles the inward-facing apo state but with less separation between the two halves of the transporter. Two GSH molecules are symmetrically bound to the Cd(II) ion in a bent conformation, with the central cysteine protruding towards the metal. The N-terminal glutamate and C-terminal glycine of GSH do not directly interact with Cd(II) but contribute to neutralizing positive charges of the binding cavity by forming hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions with nearby residues. In the presence of PC2, Cd(II) binding to ABCB6 is similar to that observed with GSH, except that two cysteine residues of each PC2 molecule participate in Cd(II) coordination to form a tetrathiolate. Structural comparison of human ABCB6 and its homologous Atm-type transporters indicate that their distinct substrate specificity might be attributed to variations in the capping residues situated at the top of the substrate-binding cavity.

Abstract
ABCB5 is a member of the ABC transporter superfamily composed of 48 transporters, which have been extensively studied for their role in cancer multidrug resistance and, more recently, in tumorigenesis. ABCB5 has been identified as a marker of skin progenitor cells, melanoma, and limbal stem cells. It has also been associated with multidrug resistance in several cancers. The unique feature of ABCB5 is that it exists as both a full transporter (ABCB5FL) and a half transporter (ABCB5β). Several studies have shown that the ABCB5β homodimer does not confer multidrug resistance, in contrast to ABCB5FL. In this study, using three complementary techniques, (1) nanoluciferase-based bioluminescence resonance energy transfer, (2) coimmunoprecipitation, and (3) proximity ligation assay, we identified two novel heterodimers in melanoma: ABCB5β/B6 and ABCB5β/B9. Both heterodimers could be expressed in High-Five insect cells and ATPase assays revealed that both functional nucleotide-binding domains of homodimers and heterodimers are required for their basal ATPase activity. These results are an important step toward elucidating the functional role of ABCB5β in melanocytes and melanoma.

Abstract
Human ATP-binding cassette transporter subfamily B6 (ABCB6) is a mitochondrial ATP-driven pump that translocates porphyrins from the cytoplasm into mitochondria for heme biosynthesis. Within the transport pathway, a conserved aromatic residue W546 located in each monomer plays a pivotal role in stabilizing the occluded conformation via π-stacking interactions. Herein, we employed cryo-electron microscopy to investigate the structural consequences of a single W546A mutation in ABCB6, both in detergent micelles and nanodiscs. The results demonstrate that the W546A mutation alters the conformational dynamics of detergent-purified ABCB6, leading to entrapment of the transporter in an outward-facing transient state. However, in the nanodisc system, we observed a direct interaction between the transporter and a phospholipid molecule that compensates for the absence of the W546 residue, thereby facilitating the normal conformational transition of the transporter toward the occluded state following ATP hydrolysis. The findings also reveal that adoption of the outward-facing conformation causes charge repulsion between ABCB6 and the bound substrate, and rearrangement of key interacting residues at the substrate-binding site. Consequently, the affinity for the substrate is significantly reduced, facilitating its release from the transporter.

Abstract
Dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria is a rare inherited pigmentary disorder. It has a characteristic reticulate pigmentation involving the entire body, with acral sparing. The case is reported here for its unusual involvement of acral areas and reduced dermatoglyphs. Furthermore, dermoscopic patterns of this disease are reported very rarely in the literature. We observed various patterns in dermoscopy, namely monotonous, reticulate and diffuse with a ‘starry sky’ appearance.

Abstract
Dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria (DUH) is characterized by diffuse symmetrically distributed hypopigmented macules mixed with hyperpigmentation. DUH is divided into three types by Online Mendelian inheritance in man (OMIM) that is, DUH1 (OMIM 127500), DUH2 (OMIM 612715) and DUH3 (OMIM 615402) according to the different linkage regions. Although each condition possesses corresponding phenotypic characteristics and the prognosis for each is somewhat different, these disorders are highly overlapped and difficult to differentiate in the clinical setting. Our latest study reveals a novel DUH subtype that presents a mild phenotype of pigmentation anomalies and is named PER3rs772027021 SNP related DUH or DUH4 by us, which make the DUH subtype can be further retyped. Heterozygous distribution or mosaic-like distribution of melanin is a newly discovered pathological features that is uniquely demonstrated in the affected layers of DUH1 and DUH4 patients. In this review, DUH is further divided into four subtypes according the causative genes and their mutational sites, and the mutation regions described in the previous reports. To make an accurate diagnosis, we suggest that Sanger sequencing or the target region sequencing (TRS) to the candidate causative genes related melanogenesis may be the most effective and convenient method of clinical diagnosis or/and prenatal diagnosis for DUH and DUH-like patients. More importantly, heterozygous distribution or mosaic-like distribution of melanin can be utilized for differential diagnosis of DUH. We also investigate the underlying molecular mechanism to form mosaic-like melanin in the affected layers of hyper- and/or hypo-pigmented macules from DUH1 and DUH4 patients. This review provides a molecular and pathological delineation of four types of DUH and aims to establish a concise diagnostic strategy to allow clinical dermatologists to make an accurate diagnosis.

Abstract
RATIONALE Dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria (DUH) is an uncommon form of pigmented genodermatosis that is typically inherited autosomally and dominantly. In the previous study, the pathogenic genes of DUH have been identified in ATP-binding cassette subfamily B, member 6 and SASH1. However, the mutational screening of the causative gene remains incomplete and still lacks sufficient proof in the etiology. PATIENT CONCERNS A 2-generation Chinese family clinically diagnosed with DUH were enrolled. They showed pigmented spots from their childhood and came to the hospital for medical advice and genetic analysis. We found a novel mutation c.1757T > C (p.I586T) of SASH1 in 3 affected family members by whole-exome sequencing. DIAGNOSES Genetic outcomes and clinical examinations confirmed the diagnosis of DUH in 3 family members with lentiginous syndrome. INTERVENTIONS AND OUTCOMES Using whole-exome sequencing and sanger sequencing technologies, we identified a novel mutation c.1757T > C (p.I586T) of SASH1 that co-segregated in 3 afflicted family members but not in the normal individuals. Significantly, c.1757T > C (p.I586T) is a novel mutation which had not been previously reported. The same codon position in SASH1 (c.1758C > G, p.I586M) has been reported in a Japanese man, and he showed identical phenotype compared to our study participants. LESSONS Our study broadens the spectrum of DUH mutations and provides more genetic characteristics of DUH in understanding its etiology. Furthermore, we demonstrated the diagnostic accuracy of whole-exome sequencing for inherited skin diseases and provided new information for etiological study.

Abstract
Reticulate pigmentary disorders (RPDs) are a group of inherited and acquired skin conditions characterized by hyperpigmented and/or hypopigmented macules. Inherited RPDs include dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria (DSH), dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria (DUH), reticulate acropigmentation of Kitamura (RAK), Dowling-Degos disease (DDD), dyskeratosis congenita (DKC), Naegeli-Franceschetti-Jadassohn syndrome (NFJS), dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis (DPR), and X-linked reticulate pigmentary disorder. Although reticulate pattern of pigmentation is a common characteristic of this spectrum of disorders, the distribution of pigmentation varies among these disorders, and there may be clinical manifestations beyond pigmentation. DSH, DUH, and RAK are mostly reported in East Asian ethnicities. DDD is more common in Caucasians, although it is also reported in Asian countries. Other RPDs show no racial predilection. This article reviews the clinical, histological, and genetic variations of inherited RPDs.

Abstract
ABC transporters are essential for cellular physiology. Humans have 48 ABC genes organized into seven distinct families. Of these genes, 44 (in five distinct families) encode for membrane transporters, of which several are involved in drug resistance and disease pathways resulting from transporter dysfunction. Over the last decade, advances in structural biology have vastly expanded our mechanistic understanding of human ABC transporter function, revealing details of their molecular arrangement, regulation, and interactions, facilitated in large part by advances in cryo-EM that have rendered hitherto inaccessible targets amenable to high-resolution structural analysis. As a result, experimentally determined structures of multiple members of each of the five families of ABC transporters in humans are now available. Here we review this recent progress, highlighting the physiological relevance of human ABC transporters and mechanistic insights gleaned from their direct structure determination. We also discuss the impact and limitations of model systems and structure prediction methods in understanding human ABC transporters and discuss current challenges and future research directions.

Abstract
Dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria (DUH) is a pigmentary genodermatosis characterized by a mixture of hyperpigmented and hypopigmented macules distributed randomly over the body. Although Sterile Alpha motif- and SH3 domain-containing protein 1 (SASH1) and ATP-binding cassette subfamily B, member 6 (ABCB6) have been identified as causative genes for this disorder, some cases involve unknown pathogenic genes. In this study, whole-exome sequencing, data analysis, and Sanger sequencing were utilized for a four-generation extended Chinese family with DUH. A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (c. 517C > T (p.P173S), rs772027021) variant in exon 5 of Period Circadian Regulator 3 (PER3) (NM_001289861) was detected in each affected individual of the DUH family; the c. 517C > T SNP of PER3 (PER3rs772027021 SNP) and a novel mutation in exon 14 of SASH1 (c. 1574C > G (p.T525R)) were both found in the proband. The affected individuals carrying PER3rs772027021 SNP in this family demonstrated mild-pigmented phenotypes compared to those of the proband carrying PER3rs772027021 SNP and SASH1 T525R mutation. Increased melanin synthesis was induced by PER3rs772027021 SNP in the melanocytes of affected epithelial tissues. Mutated SASH1 or PER3rs772027021 SNP alone or cooperation of mutation of SASH1 and PER3rs772027021 SNP synergistically led to increased melanin synthesis and enhanced proliferation of melanoma cells in vitro. We also phenotypically characterized a commercially available zebrafish mutant line harboring the PER3rs772027021 SNP to induce melanocyte proliferation in vivo. Our results are the first to reveal that this PER3 SNP may be pathogenic for a novel DUH subtype with mild hyperpigmented and/or hypopigmented phenotypes and that mutation of SASH1 and PER3 cooperatively promotes hyperpigmentation phenotypes. KEY MESSAGES: PER3 rs772027021 SNP is identified to be associated with hyperpigmentation and/or hypopigmentation phenotype and the novel pathogenic variant of PER3 rs772027021 SNP probably contributed the pathogenesis of DUH. SASH1T525R mutation is confirmed to associate with DUH. A novel autosomal dominant inheritance DUH subtype with mild pigmentated phenotypes is caused by the PER3rs772027021 SNP.

Mol Cells 2022; 45:575-587.

Abstract
Human ABCB6 is an ATP-binding cassette transporter that regulates heme biosynthesis by translocating various porphyrins from the cytoplasm into the mitochondria. Here we report the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of human ABCB6 with its substrates, coproporphyrin III (CPIII) and hemin, at 3.5 and 3.7 Å resolution, respectively. Metalfree porphyrin CPIII binds to ABCB6 within the central cavity, where its propionic acids form hydrogen bonds with the highly conserved Y550. The resulting structure has an overall fold similar to the inward-facing apo structure, but the two nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs) are slightly closer to each other. In contrast, when ABCB6 binds a metal-centered porphyrin hemin in complex with two glutathione molecules (1 hemin: 2 glutathione), the two NBDs end up much closer together, aligning them to bind and hydrolyze ATP more efficiently. In our structures, a glycine-rich and highly flexible "bulge" loop on TM helix 7 undergoes significant conformational changes associated with substrate binding. Our findings suggest that ABCB6 utilizes at least two distinct mechanisms to fine-tune substrate specificity and transport efficiency.

Abstract
Melanins, the main pigments of the skin and hair in mammals, are synthesized within membrane-bound organelles of melanocytes called melanosomes. Melanosome structure and function are determined by a cohort of resident transmembrane proteins, many of which are expressed only in pigment cells and localize specifically to melanosomes. Defects in the genes that encode melanosome-specific proteins or components of the machinery required for their transport in and out of melanosomes underlie various forms of ocular or oculocutaneous albinism, characterized by hypopigmentation of the hair, skin, and eyes and by visual impairment. We review major components of melanosomes, including the enzymes that catalyze steps in melanin synthesis from tyrosine precursors, solute transporters that allow these enzymes to function, and structural proteins that underlie melanosome shape and melanin deposition. We then review the molecular mechanisms by which these components are biosynthetically delivered to newly forming melanosomes-many of which are shared by other cell types that generate cell type-specific lysosome-related organelles. We also highlight unanswered questions that need to be addressed by future investigation.

Abstract
ABCB6 plays a crucial role in energy-dependent porphyrin transport, drug resistance, toxic metal resistance, porphyrin biosynthesis, protection against stress, and encoding a blood group system Langereis antigen. However, the mechanism underlying porphyrin transport is still unclear. Here, we determined the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of nanodisc-reconstituted human ABCB6 trapped in an apo-state and an ATP-bound state at resolutions of 3.6 and 3.5 Å, respectively. Our structures reveal a unique loop in the transmembrane domain (TMD) of ABCB6, which divides the TMD into two cavities. It restrains the access of substrates in the inward-facing state and is removed by ATP-driven conformational change. No ligand cavities were observed in the nucleotide-bound state, indicating a state following substrate release but prior to ATP hydrolysis. Structural analyses and functional characterizations suggest an "ATP-switch" model and further reveal the conformational changes of the substrate-binding pockets triggered by the ATP-driven regulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria (DUH) is a pigmentary dermatosis characterized by generalized mottled macules with hypopigmention and hyperpigmention. ABCB6 and SASH1 are recently reported pathogenic genes related to DUH, and the aim of this study was to identify the causative mutations in a Chinese family with DUH. METHODS Sanger sequencing was performed to investigate the clinical manifestation and molecular genetic basis of these familial cases of DUH, bioinformatics tools and multiple sequence alignment were used to analyse the pathogenicity of mutations. RESULTS A novel missense mutation, c.1529G>A, in the SASH1 gene was identified, and this mutation was not found in the National Center for Biotechnology Information Database of Short Genetic Variation, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man, ClinVar, or 1000 Genomes Project databases. All in silico predictors suggested that the observed substitution mutation was deleterious. Furthermore, multiple sequence alignment of SASH1 revealed that the p.S510N mutation was highly conserved during evolution. In addition, we reviewed the previously reported DUH-related gene mutations in SASH1 and ABCB6. CONCLUSION Although the affected family members had identical mutations, differences in the clinical manifestations of these family members were observed, which reveals the complexity of the phenotype-influencing factors in DUH. Our findings reveal the mutation responsible for DUH in this family and broaden the mutational spectrum of the SASH1 gene.

Abstract
Background Dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria (DUH) is a rare genodermatosis characterized by hyper‐ and hypo‐pigmented macules on the face, trunk, and extremities. The condition causes severe cosmetic problem which can lead to significant psychological distress to the patients and bear a negative impact on society. DUH is a condition with genetic heterogeneity. The SASH1 gene was recently identified as pathogenic genes in DUH patients. Methods Two families clinically diagnosed with dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria were enrolled. Whole‐exome sequencing combined with Sanger sequencing and bioinformatics analysis was performed in the probands. MutationTaster, CADD, SIFT, PolyPhen‐2, and LRT software, and The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics Standards and Guidelines were employed to assess the pathogenicity of detected missense mutations. One hundred healthy unrelated Chinese individuals were used as controls. All participants signed an informed consent form. Results Genetic screening revealed a heterozygous SASH1 c.1547G>A (p.Ser516Asn) mutation for patients in family 1, and SASH1 c.1547G>T (p.Ser516Ile) for family 2. Both such de novo mutations are located in a highly conserved SLY domain in SASH1, have not been previously reported in any publication, and were not detected in any control databases. Conclusions The novel heterozygous mutations, SASH1 c.1547G>A and c.1547G>T, are likely responsible for the DUH phenotype in these two families. Our study expands the mutation spectrum of DUH. Whole‐exome sequencing showed its efficiency in the diagnostic of hereditary skin disorders.

Abstract
Dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria (DUH) is a rare genodermatosis characterized by mottled hyperpigmented and hypopigmented macules. SASH1 and ABCB6 have been identified as the causative genes for this disorder. We performed whole exome sequencing on a Chinese family with DUH and genotype-phenotype correlation analysis in DUH and lentiginous phenotype patients. A novel heterozygous missense mutation p.Q518P in SASH1 gene was detected in this family. A majority of patients with SASH1 mutations presented as a distinct clinical phenotype clearly different from that in patients with ABCB6 mutations. Our findings further enrich the reservoir of SASH1 mutations in DUH. The clinical phenotypic difference between SASH1 and ABCB6 variants is suggestive of a close phenotype-genotype link in DUH.

Abstract
The SAM and SH3 domain‑containing 1 (SASH1) genes have been identified as the causal genes of dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria (DUH); these genes cause the pathological phenotypes of DUH, and SASH1 variants have been shown to regulate the abnormal pigmentation phenotype in human skin in various genodermatoses. However, investigations into the mutated SASH1 gene have been limited to in vitro studies. In the present study, to recapitulate the molecular pathological phenotypes of individuals with DUH induced by SASH1 mutations, a heterozygous BALB/c mouse model, in which the human SASH1 c.1654 T>G (p. Tyr 551Asp, Y551D) mutation was knocked in was first generated. The in vivo functional experiments on Y551D SASH1 indicated that the increased expression of microphthalmia‑associated transcription factor (Mitf) was uniformly induced in the tails of heterozygous BALB/c mice, and an increased quantity of Mitf‑positive epithelial cells was also detected. An increased expression of Mitf‑ and Mitf‑positive cells was also demonstrated in the epithelial tissues of Y551D‑SASH1 affected individuals. In the present study, Mitf expression was also found to be increased by Y551D SASH1 in vitro. Taken together, these findings indicate that the upregulation of Mitf is the bona fide effector of the Y551D SASH1‑mediated melanogenesis signaling pathway in vivo. SASH1 may function as a scaffold molecule for the assembly of a SASH1‑Mitf molecular complex to regulate Mitf expression in the cell nucleus and thus to promote the hyperpigmented phenotype in the pathogenesis of DUH and other genodermatoses related to pigment abnormalities.

Abstract
Dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria (DUH) is a rare genodermatosis, which presents as hyper- and hypopigmented macules all over the body. Although a benign condition, rarely DUH is associated with abnormalities of dermal connective tissue, nerve, and systemic conditions. We report a case of DUH associated hypospadias and complicated with hydronephrosis that has not been described earlier.

Abstract
The metabolic compartmentalization enabled by mitochondria is key feature of many cellular processes such as energy conversion to ATP production, redox balance, and the biosynthesis of heme, urea, nucleotides, lipids, and others. For a majority of these functions, metabolites need to be transported across the impermeable inner mitochondrial membrane by dedicated carrier proteins. Here, we examine the substrates, structural features, and human health implications of four mitochondrial metabolite carrier families: the SLC25A family, the mitochondrial ABCB transporters, the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC), and the sideroflexin proteins.

Abstract
Dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria (DUH) is an autosomal dominant pigmentary genodermatosis characterized by the presence of patches of hyperpigmentation and hypopigmented macules distributed over the body, with most cases reported in Asia. DUH is a heterogeneous disease and a small portion of patients carry the ABCB6 variant. In the present study, exome sequencing of four generations of a Chinese family with DUH identified a c.1761C>G (p.Ser587Arg) mutation in exon 15 of SAM and SH3 domain containing 1 (SASH1) that was found to co-segregate in some family members. Immunohistological analysis of biopsy specimens showed that SASH1 was diffusely distributed in all layers of the epidermis, suggesting increased transepithelial migration of melanocytes (MCs). The point mutation c.1761C>G of SASH1 was successfully induced in immortalized human melanocyte (PIG1) cells, which resulted in the downregulation of SASH1 expression. Bioinformatics analysis showed that mutated SASH1 downregulated thrombospondin 1 (THBS1) expression and inactivated transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) signaling. TGF-β1 expression by PIG1cells was found to negatively regulate SASH1 protein expression. Transwell migration and wound-healing assays showed an increase in the migration and invasion capabilities of the cells carrying the mutation. Further, SASH1 mutations induced downregulation of melanin content. The study results suggest cross-talking between SASH1-TGF-β1 signaling, demonstrating the proposed MC migration modulation models and affecting melanin trafficking in the epithelium.

Abstract
ABCB6 belongs to the family of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, which transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes, bearing significant impact on human disease and pharmacology. Although mutations in the ABCB6 gene have been linked to a variety of pathophysiological conditions ranging from transfusion incompatibility to pigmentation defects, its precise cellular localization and function is not understood. In particular, the intracellular localization of ABCB6 has been a matter of debate, with conflicting reports suggesting mitochondrial or endolysosomal expression. ABCB6 shows significant sequence identity to HMT-1 (heavy metal tolerance factor 1) proteins, whose evolutionarily conserved role is to confer tolerance to heavy metals through the intracellular sequestration of metal complexes. Here, we show that the cadmium-sensitive phenotype of Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Caenorhabditis elegans strains defective for HMT-1 is rescued by the human ABCB6 protein. Overexpression of ABCB6 conferred tolerance to cadmium and As(III) (As2O3), but not to As(V) (Na2HAsO4), Sb(V), Hg(II), or Zn(II). Inactivating mutations of ABCB6 abolished vacuolar sequestration of cadmium, effectively suppressing the cadmium tolerance phenotype. Modulation of ABCB6 expression levels in human glioblastoma cells resulted in a concomitant change in cadmium sensitivity. Our findings reveal ABCB6 as a functional homologue of the HMT-1 proteins, linking endolysosomal ABCB6 to the highly conserved mechanism of intracellular cadmium detoxification.

Abstract
The key diagnostic tool for hyperpigmentation is histopathology, which may be accompanied by certain laboratory tests. Hyperpigmentation may result from excess melanin (hypermelanosis), cutaneous iron deposits (hemosiderosis), cutaneous carotene deposits (carotenoderma), or cutaneous deposits of a substance not normally found in the skin (dyschromia). The different types of hypermelanosis may be classified as either localised or generalised. The former generally correspond to skin tumours and may form a cutaneous expression of complex syndromes, which most notably include cardiac abnormalities, or to pigmented forms of inflammatory and/or infectious dermatoses. Diffuse hypermelanosis is frequently a sign of systemic disease, generally metabolic or endocrine disease, or else it may result from pharmaceutical therapy. Herein we review the various causes of hyperpigmentation and the corresponding therapy.

Abstract
ATP-Binding Cassette, subfamily B, member 6 (ABCB6) is a transporter that is upregulated by elevated intracellular porphyrin concentrations. In the Harderian gland (HG), the synthesis of porphyrins appears to be under the influence of gonadal steroids and to exhibit a dimorphic pattern. To explore whether ABCB6 is also influenced by sex steroids, we isolated its specific cDNA sequence and investigated its mRNA levels in the HGs of hamsters. ABCB6's cDNA sequence presents an open reading frame (ORF) of 2529 bp that encodes a predicted 842-amino acid (aa) protein with a molecular weight of 93 kDa. Multiple sequence alignments showed that ABCB6's aa sequence is highly conserved and shares the highest homology (93%) with mouse ABCB6. RT-qPCR analysis indicated that ABCB6 is expressed in all the tissues examined, exhibiting high expression levels in the liver, adrenal glands, and testis. The mRNA concentrations of ABCB6 in HGs were very similar between males and in females; similarly, gonadectomy and treatment with sex steroids appear to scarcely affect ABCB6 mRNA levels. The intraglandular content of ABCB6 mRNA showed discrete, though non-significant, variations through the estrous cycle. The results provide evidence that gonadal steroids have a minimal physiological role on the regulation of ABCB6 expression and might indicate that this transporter has a small effect on porphyrin trafficking in the HGs of hamsters.

Abstract
Eye formation is the result of coordinated induction and differentiation processes during embryogenesis. Disruption of any one of these events has the potential to cause ocular growth and structural defects, such as anophthalmia and microphthalmia (A/M). A/M can be isolated or occur with systemic anomalies, when they may form part of a recognizable syndrome. Their etiology includes genetic and environmental factors; several hundred genes involved in ocular development have been identified in humans or animal models. In humans, around 30 genes have been repeatedly implicated in A/M families, although many other genes have been described in single cases or families, and some genetic syndromes include eye anomalies occasionally as part of a wider phenotype. As a result of this broad genetic heterogeneity, with one or two notable exceptions, each gene explains only a small percentage of cases. Given the overlapping phenotypes, these genes can be most efficiently tested on panels or by whole exome/genome sequencing for the purposes of molecular diagnosis. However, despite whole exome/genome testing more than half of patients currently remain without a molecular diagnosis. The proportion of undiagnosed cases is even higher in those individuals with unilateral or milder phenotypes. Furthermore, even when a strong gene candidate is available for a patient, issues of incomplete penetrance and germinal mosaicism make diagnosis and genetic counseling challenging. In this review, we present the main genes implicated in non-syndromic human A/M phenotypes and, for practical purposes, classify them according to the most frequent or predominant phenotype each is associated with. Our intention is that this will allow clinicians to rank and prioritize their molecular analyses and interpretations according to the phenotypes of their patients.

Abstract
The ATP-binding cassette transporter ABCB6 was recently discovered to encode the Langereis (Lan) blood group antigen. Lan null individuals are asymptomatic, and the function of ABCB6 in mature erythrocytes is not understood. Here, we assessed ABCB6 as a host factor for Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasites during erythrocyte invasion. We show that Lan null erythrocytes are highly resistant to invasion by P. falciparum, in a strain-transcendent manner. Although both Lan null and Jr(a-) erythrocytes harbor excess porphyrin, only Lan null erythrocytes exhibit a P. falciparum invasion defect. Further, the zoonotic parasite P. knowlesi invades Lan null and control cells with similar efficiency, suggesting that ABCB6 may mediate P. falciparum invasion through species-specific molecular interactions. Using tandem mass tag-based proteomics, we find that the only consistent difference in membrane proteins between Lan null and control cells is absence of ABCB6. Our results demonstrate that a newly identified naturally occurring blood group variant is associated with resistance to Plasmodium falciparum. Elizabeth Egan and colleagues demonstrate that host ATP binding cassette transporter ABCB6, which encodes the Langereis blood group antigen, promotes erythrocyte invasion by the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. This study suggests that asymptomatic Langereis null individuals may be better protected from malaria.

Abstract
Recent findings have discovered how insufficiency of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter, ABCB6, can negatively impact human health. These advances were made possible by, first, finding that ABCB6 deficiency was the genetic basis for some severe transfusion reactions and by, second, determining that functionally impaired ABCB6 variants enhanced the severity of porphyria, i.e., diseases associated with defects in heme synthesis. ABCB6 is a broad-spectrum porphyrin transporter that is capable of both exporting and importing heme and its precursors across the plasma membrane and outer mitochondrial membrane, respectively. Biochemical studies have demonstrated that while ABCB6 influences the antioxidant system by reducing the levels of reactive oxygen species, the exact mechanism is currently unknown, though effects on heme synthesis are likely. Furthermore, it is unknown what biochemical or cellular signals determine where ABCB6 localizes in the cell. This review highlights the major recent findings on ABCB6 and focuses on details of its structure, mechanism, transport, contributions to cellular stress, and current clinical implications.

Abstract
The Golgi apparatus is a central membrane organelle for trafficking and post-translational modifications of proteins and lipids in cells. In mammalian cells, it is organized in the form of stacks of tightly aligned flattened cisternae, and dozens of stacks are often linked laterally into a ribbon-like structure located in the perinuclear region of the cell. Proper Golgi functionality requires an intact architecture, yet Golgi structure is dynamically regulated during the cell cycle and under disease conditions. In this review, we summarize our current understanding of the relationship between Golgi structure formation, function, and regulation, with focus on how post-translational modifications including phosphorylation and ubiquitination regulate Golgi structure and on how Golgi unstacking affects its functions, in particular, protein trafficking, glycosylation, and sorting in mammalian cells.

Abstract
ABC (ATP binding cassette) transporters, ubiquitous in all kingdoms of life, carry out essential substrate transport reactions across cell membranes. Their transmembrane domains bind and translocate substrates and are connected to a pair of nucleotide binding domains, which bind and hydrolyze ATP to energize import or export of substrates. Over four decades of investigations into ABC transporters have revealed numerous details from atomic-level structural insights to their functional and physiological roles. Despite all these advances, a comprehensive understanding of the mechanistic principles of ABC transporter function remains elusive. The human multidrug resistance transporter ABCB1, also referred to as P-glycoprotein (P-gp), is one of the most intensively studied ABC exporters. Using ABCB1 as the reference point, we aim to compare the dominating mechanistic models of substrate transport and ATP hydrolysis for ABC exporters and to highlight the experimental and computational evidence in their support. In particular, we point out in silico studies that enhance and complement available biochemical data. “This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Beyond the Structure Function Horizon of Membrane Proteins edited by Ute Hellmich, Rupak Doshi and Benjamin McIlwain.”

Abstract
Reticulated pigmentation is a unique pigmentary change caused by a heterogeneous group of hereditary and acquired disorders. This pigmentation is characterized by a mottled appearance, with lesions that vary in size and pigmentary content. This review discusses the hereditary group of the reticulated pigmentation disorders, such as dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria, dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria, and reticulate acropigmentation of Kitamura. The clinical presentation and histopathological features often overlap, making diagnosis difficult. However, each of these hereditary conditions possesses a unique genetic mutation, and genetic analysis is thus more useful in the diagnosis of these conditions. This article delivers an update regarding the clinical features, detailed histopathological description, and genetic information concerning hereditary reticulate pigmentary disorders and aims to provide useful background for use by clinical dermatologists and histopathologists when approaching this group of hereditary disorders.

Abstract
Reticulate pigmentary disorders are a group of disorders characterized by hyper- and/or hypopigmented macules with varying sizes and amounts of pigment. Some of the disorders are heritable, such as Dowling-Degos disease, dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria, dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria, reticulate acropigmentation of Kitamura and X-linked reticulate pigmentary disorder. Although each condition possesses unique phenotypic characteristics and the prognosis for each is somewhat different, there is a large degree of overlap between the disorders and therefore they are difficult to differentiate in the clinical setting. This updated review provides a clinical and molecular delineation of these genetic reticulate pigmentary disorders and aims to establish a concise diagnostic strategy to allow clinical dermatologists to make an accurate diagnosis, as well as to provide useful information for clinical and genetic counselling.

Abstract
The SLC25 family member SLC25A38 (Hem25 in yeast) was recently identified as a mitochondrial glycine transporter that provides substrate to initiate heme/hemoglobin synthesis. Mutations in the human SLC25A38 gene cause congenital sideroblastic anemia. The full extent to which SLC25 family members coregulate heme synthesis with other mitochondrial functions is not clear. In this study, we surveyed 29 nonessential SLC25 family members in Saccharomyces cerevisiae for their ability to support growth in the presence and absence of HEM25. Six SLC25 family members were identified that were required for growth or for heme synthesis in cells lacking Hem25 function. Importantly, we determined that loss of function of the SLC25 family member Flx1, which imports FAD into mitochondria, together with loss of function of Hem25, resulted in inability to grow on media that required yeast cells to supply energy using mitochondrial respiration. We report that specific components of complexes of the electron transport chain are decreased in the absence of Flx1 and Hem25 function. In addition, we show that mitochondria from flx1Δ hem25Δ cells contain uncharacterized Cox2-containing high molecular weight aggregates. The functions of Flx1 and Hem25 provide a facile explanation for the decrease in heme level, and in specific electron transport chain complex components.

Abstract
The (pro)renin receptor [(P)RR, ATP6AP2] is a multifunctional transmembrane protein that activates local renin-angiotensin systems, but also interacts with Wnt pathways and vacuolar H+ -ATPase (V-ATPase) during organogenesis. The aim of this study was to characterize the role of ATP6AP2 in the cell cycle in more detail. ATP6AP2 down-regulation by siRNA in renal As4.1 cells resulted in a reduction in the rate of proliferation and a G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest. We identified a number of novel target genes downstream of ATP6AP2 knock-down that were related to the primary cilium (Bbs-1, Bbs-3, Bbs-7, Rabl5, Ttc26, Mks-11, Mks-5, Mks-2, Tctn2, Nme7) and the cell cycle (Pierce1, Clock, Ppif). Accordingly, the number of cells expressing the primary cilium was markedly increased. We found no indication that these effects were dependent of V-ATPase activity, as ATP6AP2 knock-down did not affect lysosomal pH and bafilomycin A neither influenced the ciliary expression pattern nor the percentage of ciliated cells. Furthermore, ATP6AP2 appears to be essential for mitosis. ATP6AP2 translocated from the endoplasmatic reticulum to mitotic spindle poles (pro-, meta- and anaphase) and the central spindle bundle (telophase) and ATP6AP2 knock-down results in markedly deformed spindles. We conclude that ATP6AP2 is necessary for cell division, cell cycle progression and mitosis. ATP6AP2 also inhibits ciliogenesis, thus promoting proliferation and preventing differentiation.

Abstract
Background: The dyschromatoses are a group of disorders characterized by simultaneous hyperpigmented macules together with hypopigmented macules. Dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria (DUH) and dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria are two major types. While clinical and histological presentations are similar in these two diseases, genetic diagnosis is critical in the differential diagnosis of these entities. Methods: Three patients initially diagnosed with DUH were included. The gene test was carried out by targeted gene sequencing. All mutations detected on ADAR1 and ABCB6 genes were analyzed according to the frequency in control database, the mutation types, and the published evidence to determine the pathogenicity. Results: Family pedigree and clinical presentations were reported in 3 patients from two Chinese families. All patients have prominent cutaneous dyschromatoses involving the whole body without systemic complications. Different pathogenic genes in these patients with similar phenotype were identified: One novel mutation on ADAR1 (c. 1325C>G) and one recurrent mutation in ABCB6 (c. 1270T>C), which successfully distinguished two diseases with the similar phenotype. Conclusion: Targeted gene sequencing is an effective tool for genetic diagnosis in pigmentary skin diseases.

Abstract
A small number of physiologically important ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are found in mitochondria. Most are half transporters of the B group forming homodimers and their topology suggests they function as exporters. The results of mutant studies point towards involvement in iron cofactor biosynthesis. In particular, ABC subfamily B member 7 (ABCB7) and its homologues in yeast and plants are required for iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster biosynthesis outside of the mitochondria, whereas ABCB10 is involved in haem biosynthesis. They also play a role in preventing oxidative stress. Mutations in ABCB6 and ABCB7 have been linked to human disease. Recent crystal structures of yeast Atm1 and human ABCB10 have been key to identifying substrate-binding sites and transport mechanisms. Combined with in vitro and in vivo studies, progress is being made to find the physiological substrates of the different mitochondrial ABC transporters.

Abstract
Dyschromatosis Universalis Hereditaria (DUH) belongs to a group of congenital diffuse reticulate pigmentary disorders characterised by both hypo and hyper pigmented macules. It is both hereditary and sporadic. A number of associated cutaneous and systemic diseases have been reported. The recent discovery of the mutation in ATP binding cassette protein, ABCB6 in DUH attempts to explain the reason behind the pigmentary abnormalities and varied associations. We add a new association by reporting a case of DUH with primary ovarian failure (POF) and hypothyroidism.

Abstract
Disseminated superficial porokeratosis (DSP) is a rare keratinization disorder of the epidermis. It is characterized by keratotic lesions with an atrophic center encircled by a prominent peripheral ridge. We investigated the genetic basis of DSP in two five-generation Chinese families with members diagnosed with DSP. By whole-exome sequencing, we sequencing identified a nonsense variation c.412C > T (p.Arg138*) in the phosphomevalonate kinase gene (PMVK), which encodes a cytoplasmic enzyme catalyzing the conversion of mevalonate 5-phosphate to mevalonate 5-diphosphate in the mevalonate pathway. By co-segregation and haplotype analyses as well as exclusion testing of 500 normal control subjects, we demonstrated that this genetic variant was involved in the development of DSP in both families. We obtained further evidence from studies using HaCaT cells as models that this variant disturbed subcellular localization, expression and solubility of PMVK. We also observed apparent apoptosis in and under the cornoid lamella of PMVK-deficient lesional tissues, with incomplete differentiation of keratinocytes. Our findings suggest that PMVK is a potential novel gene involved in the pathogenesis of DSP and PMVK deficiency or abnormal keratinocyte apoptosis could lead to porokeratosis.

Abstract
Dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria (DUH) is a rare pigmentary genodermatosis characterized by reticulated hyper- and hypopigmented macules distributed over the trunk and extremities in otherwise healthy patients. DUH presents in a fashion similar to that of a variety of reticulate and pigmentary dermatoses, some of which are associated with precancerous entities and other comorbidities. It is therefore imperative that the clinician recognize and differentiate these disorders so that appropriate screening and counseling can be offered to the patient. We report a case of DUH in a 13-year-old boy presenting with oral leukokeratosis, with a review of the literature exploring the differential diagnoses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Familial progressive hyper- and hypopigmentation (FPHH) is an autosomal dominant skin condition presenting in childhood with generalized macular dyspigmentation, usually reported in patients of East Asian origin. It overlaps phenotypically with other dyschromatoses, but can now be distinguished by mutations in the KIT ligand gene (KITLG). AIM We report two unrelated white families with similar phenotypic presentations of FPHH developing in early childhood in several generations. METHODS Sanger sequencing of the exons and flanking introns of KITLG was performed. RESULTS This identified a new heterozygous missense mutation in each family (p.Thr34Asn and p.Val37Gly, respectively). Of the six affected individuals examined by us, two had cancer: a 62-year-old man in family 1 had developed two primary melanomas and a pharyngeal carcinoma, and a 42-year-old woman in family 2 had developed thyroid carcinoma. All had unusually sparse lateral eyebrows, a finding not previously reported in this condition. CONCLUSIONS We summarize the genetic spectrum of the dyschromatoses and discuss a possible increased risk of malignancy in FPHH.
