In vitro expression of thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) variants. Impaired secretion of TBGPRO-227 but not TBGPRO-113

Thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) is a glycoprotein that transports thyroid hormones in blood. Of two naturally occurring variants in man that harbor single proline substitutions (TBG-CD5 and TBG-Montreal), only TBG-CD5 manifests as complete TBG deficiency. In order to determine the pathophysiology of these TBG disorders, we expressed TBG- CD5 and TBG-Montreal (TBG-M), as well as the common type TBG (TBG-C) in reticulocyte lysate and Xenopus oocytes. Vectors encoding the three TBG types were constructed, transcribed in vitro, and their products of cell-free translation and processing by canine microsomal membranes were analyzed. TBG-C and TBG-M had identical mobility on denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis but could be distinguished by differences in thyroxine (T4) binding. TBG-CD5 had altered electrophoretic mobility and did not bind T4. TBG-C and TBG-M expressed in microinjected Xenopus oocytes showed properties similar to their respective serum forms, whereas TBG-CD5 was found in small amounts only intracellularly. Our results confirm that the previously described alanine 113 to proline substitution is responsible for the altered properties of TBG-M. The substitution of leucine 227 by proline in TBG- CD5 appears to impair its cotranslational processing and secretion.
