Altered Enamelin Phosphorylation Site Causes Amelogenesis Imperfecta

Abstract

Defects in the enamelin gene (ENAM) cause amelogenesis imperfecta (AI). Our objective was to identify the genetic etiology of enamel hypoplasia in a Caucasian proband. Our hypothesis was that ENAM was defective. The proband and his father have an AG insertion (g.13185_13186insAG; p.422FsX448) in ENAM previously identified in AI kindreds from Slovenia and Turkey. The proband, his brother, and his mother have a novel missense mutation (g.12573C>T) that substitutes leucine for a phosphorylated serine (p.S216L) in the 32-kDa enamelin cleavage product. In this family, a defect in one ENAM allele caused minor pitting or localized enamel hypoplasia, whereas defects in both alleles caused severe enamel malformations, with little or no mineral covering dentin. Ser²¹⁶ is one of two serines on the 32-kDa enamelin that is phosphorylated by Golgi casein kinase and is thought to mediate calcium binding. We propose that phosphorylation of enamelin is critical for its function.
