Glycine cleavage system H protein, mitochondrial (abbreviated as GCSH) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GCSHgene.[1][2][3] Degradation of glycine is brought about by the glycine cleavage system (GCS), which is composed of 4 protein components: P protein (a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent glycine decarboxylase), H protein (a lipoic acid-containing protein; this protein), T protein (a tetrahydrofolate-requiring aminomethyltransferase enzyme), and L protein (a lipoamide dehydrogenase).[3] The H protein shuttles the methylamine group of glycine from the P protein to the T protein. The protein encoded by GCSH gene is the H protein, which transfers the methylamine group of glycine from the P protein to the T protein.[4] Defects in this gene are a cause of nonketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH).[5] Two transcript variants, one protein-coding and the other probably not protein-coding,have been found for this gene. Also, several transcribed and non-transcribed pseudogenes of this gene exist throughout the genome.[6]
Human GCSH gene has 5 exons spanning 13.5kb and resides on chromosome 16 at q23.2.[4]
Protein
The GCSH is a heat-stable small protein with a covalently attached lipoic acid prosthetic group which interacts with the three enzymes during the catalysis. The chemically determined amino acid sequence revealed that chicken H-protein is composed of 125 amino acids with a lipoic acid prosthetic group at lysine 59 (Lys59).[2] Because of its restricted tissue expression in humans, H-protein purified from chicken liver has been routinely used for the assay.[9] The H-protein comprises a mitochondrial targeting sequence and a mature mitochondrial matrix protein sequence. Its activation in vivo requires the attachment of a lipoic acid prosthetic group at Lys59 of the mature protein.[4] The matrix protein sequence is highly conserved and chicken H-protein has 85.6% amino acid sequence similarity to the human form.[10]
Clinical significance
Nonketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH) is an inborn error of metabolism caused by deficiency in the glycine cleavage system (GCS).[11] Enzymatic analysis has identified three metabolic lesions in NKH, deficiencies of P-, T-, and H-proteins.[6] The first mutation identified in NKH was in the P-protein gene.[12] Subsequently, some patients were found to have mutations in the T-protein gene.[13] The structure, polymorphism, and expression of GCSH could facilitate the molecular analysis of patients with variant forms of NKH that are caused by H-protein deficiency.[4]
