英文摘要The z mutation (e342k) of alpha 1-antitrypsin (alpha 1-at), carried by 4% of northern europeans, predisposes to early onset of emphysema due to decreased functional alpha 1-at in the lung and to liver cirrhosis due to accumulation of polymers in hepatocytes. however, it remains unclear why the z mutation causes intracellular polymerization of nascentz alpha 1-at and why 15% of the expressed z alpha 1-at is secreted into circulation as functional, but polymerogenic, monomers. here, we solve the crystal structure of the z-monomer and have engineered replacements to assess the conformational role of residue glu-342 in alpha 1-at. the results reveal that z alpha 1-at has a labile strand 5 of the central beta-sheet a (s5a) with a consequent equilibrium between a native inhibitory conformation, as in its crystal structure here, and an aberrant conformation with s5a only partially incorporated into the central beta-sheet. this aberrant conformation, induced by the loss of interactions from the glu-342 side chain, explains why z alpha 1-at is prone to polymerization and readily binds to a 6-mer peptide, and it supports that annealing of s5a into the central beta-sheet is a crucial step in the serpins' metastable conformational formation. the demonstration that the aberrant conformation can be rectified through stabilization of the labile s5a by binding of a small molecule opens a potential therapeutic approach for z alpha 1-at deficiency.
