Popis: Myotubularin MTM1 is a phosphoinositide (PPIn) 3-phosphatase mutated in X-linked centronuclear myopathy (XLCNM; myotubular myopathy). We investigated the involvement of MTM1 enzymatic activity on XLCNM phenotypes. Exogenous expression of human MTM1 in yeast resulted in vacuolar enlargement, as a consequence of its phosphatase activity. Expression of mutants from patients with different clinical progression and determination of PtdIns3P and PtdIns5P cellular levels confirmed the link between vacuolar morphology and MTM1 phosphatase activity, and showed that some disease mutants retain phosphatase activity. Viral gene transfer of phosphatase-dead myotubularin mutants (MTM1C375S and MTM1S376N) significantly improved most histological signs of XLCNM displayed by a Mtm1-null mouse, at similar levels as wild-type MTM1. Moreover, the MTM1C375S mutant improved muscle performance and restored the localization of nuclei, triad alignment, and the desmin intermediate filament network, while it did not normalize PtdIns3P levels, supporting phosphatase-independent roles of MTM1 in maintaining normal muscle performance and organelle positioning in skeletal muscle. Among the different XLCNM signs investigated, we identified only triad shape and fiber size distribution as being partially dependent on MTM1 phosphatase activity. In conclusion, this work uncovers MTM1 roles in the structural organization of muscle fibers that are independent of its enzymatic activity. This underlines that removal of enzymes should be used with care to conclude on the physiological importance of their activity.
Author Summary X-linked centronuclear myopathy is a muscle disorder characterized by neonatal hypotonia and abnormal organelle positioning in skeletal muscle. This myopathy is due to different mutations in the MTM1 gene encoding the phosphoinositide phosphatase myotubularin. Disease-causing mutations are found all along the protein sequence and not only in the phosphatase catalytic domain. We investigated the link between myotubularin phosphatase activity and disease phenotypes. We used brewer yeast as a simple cellular model to analyze the in vivo phosphatase activity of different disease mutants. Our results show that mutations responsible for severe forms of myopathy are either active or inactive phosphatases. To further question this finding, we used the mice myotubularin knock-out model that reproduces faithfully the histopathological findings from human patients. Expression of phosphatase-dead mutants improved most phenotypes of knock-out mice comparable to wild-type myotubularin. This shows that the maintenance of normal skeletal muscles is largely independent from myotubularin phosphatase activity, while defects in the activity may participate in the onset of the disease. Moreover, it could have important implications in the design of therapeutic approaches aimed at manipulating the phosphoinositide levels in the different diseases linked to myotubularin homologues. Finally, these data call for cautiousness when manipulating such enzymes to conclude on the physiological relevance of their activity.
