Keywords: EPHA1 gene, polymorphism, population. Introduction. In the frame of CHERISH project (no. 223692) concerning the intellectual disability (ID) ge- netic basis, the next generation exome sequencing was conducted for a Ukrainian family (UKR 094) with two affected children (proband and his younger sibling) and their healthy non-consanguineous parents. The proband (UKR 263) is a 12 year old boy with ID (IQ = 43) and hyperactivity. His brother (UKR 264) is a 4 year old boy with febrile convulsions, ID and multiple congenital ano- malies (Fig. 1). Both affected probands underwent phy- sical and neurological examination, standard G-ban- ding karyotype analysis and biochemical tests: amino- acids and acylcarnitines (TANDEM MS) as well as mo- lecular genetic screening of common ID syndromes (FRAXA, FRAXE, FRAXF loci together with 15q11- q13 locus). Standard karyotype, biochemical and mo- lecular genetic tests as well as array-CGH analysis (400 K resolution) were normal in both patients. Exome analysis revealed several variants in either homozygous or compound heterozygous state in five genes. Among these genes, we decided to concentrate on the EPHA1 gene, where two non-synonymous sub- stitutions were detected in both patients: G1475A (rs11768549) inherited from the mother and G1891A (has not been previously described) inherited from the father. The both non-synonymous SNPs have been identified in the coding region (exons 7 and 11) of the EPHA1 receptor gene. EPHA1 has been reported to be highly expressed in the neural tissues during embryo- genesis and it seemed a good candidate for autosomal recessive inherited ID [1, 2]. EPHA1 is the founding member of the erythropo- ietin-producing hepatocellular (Eph) receptors family, but little is known about its function. Eph kinases con- stitute the largest family of receptor tyrosine kinases, with 16 distinct members. The receptors are termed EPHA (EPHA1–8, only including those found in mam- mals) or EPHB (EPHB1–4, EPHB6) on the basis of se- ISSN 0233–7657. Biopolymers and Cell. 2013. Vol. 29. N 6. P. 506–510 doi: 10.7124/bc.000841 � Institute of Molecular Biology and Genetics, NAS of Ukraine, 2013 quence homologies and depending on the subgroup of ligands that they bind [3]. Ligand for the EPHA recep- tor is called ephrin-A. It has been recently demonstrated that EPHA/ephrin-A signalling has a proapoptotic effect on the embryonic cortex without affecting the prolife- ration or cell cycle progression [4]. Ephrin and Eph re- ceptor genes are implicated in the control of cell and axon guidance in neural systems of different species [1, 2, 5, 6]. EPHA1 gene is located at chromosome 7q34 and contains 18 exons, two more than the related tyrosine kinase. The human EPHA1 gene is transcribed as a sing- le 3.5 kb mRNA, and encodes a polypeptide of 984 ami- no acids with a molecular mass of 130 kDa [7]. It is im- portant to know that EPHA1 is characterized by high conservative level among many species, indicating that there may be an evolutionarily conserved function [7]. It was shown that this gene is highly expressed in liver, lung, and kidney, but not in the adult brain. However, it is highly expressed in the spinal neural tube during neu- rulation [8]. The role of EPHA1 during tissue morpho- genesis is highlighted by the expression studies perfor- med on mouse embryos, where the pattern of expression is dynamic throughout the immediate postimplantation, gastrulation, neurulation, and early somitogenesis pe- riods [9]. In this study the analysis of single nucleotide poly- morphisms G1475A and G1891A in EPHA1 gene was performed in population of Ukraine and it is the first step in the analysis of EPHA1 gene involvement in in- tellectual disability pathogenesis. To understand a bio- chemical effect of these substitutions we tried to predict possible changes in the EPHA1 protein structure. Materials and methods. The DNA-samples were extracted from peripheral blood leucocytes of unrela- ted volunteer donors from different regions of Ukraine by standard methods [10]. Informed consents were ob- tained from all individuals participating in our study. The observation group consisted of 300 individuals, including 164 (54.6 %) male and 136 (45.3 %) female individuals. This group may be considered representati- ve for the estimation of DNA polymorphism frequency in autosomal genes [11, 12]. DNA sequencing was performed by the dideoxy- nucleotide chain-termination method [13] using [35S]- dATP or [35S]-dCTP (ICN), the Sequenase version 2.0 DNA sequencing kit (USB) and Thermo Sequenase cyc- le sequencing kit («Amersham», Great Britain). An analysis of the G1891A polymorphism was per- formed by ARMS (amplification refractory mutation system) PCR. Specific oligonucleotide primers were complementary either to the wild type or to the sequen- ce with substitution (Table 1). The PCR amplification was performed in a final volume of 15 �l containing 1� PCR buffer, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 200 �M of each dNTP, 0.8 �M of each primer, 0.2 units of Taq-DNA polyme- rase and 200 ng of the DNA template. The cycling con- ditions for G1891A variant were as follows: initial de- naturation at 94 oC for 5 min, 30 cycles consisting of de- naturation at 94 oC for 30 s, annealing at 63 oC for 30 s, extension at 72 oC for 30 s, and a final elongation step at 72 oC for 5 min. The presence of G1475A EPHA1 polymorphism was examined by PCR-RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism) analysis using the specific oligonucleo- tide primers described in the table.

The cycling conditions for G1475A variant were as follows: initial denaturation at 94 oC for 5 min, 30 cycles consisting of denaturation at 94 oC for 40 s, annealing at 55 oC for 40 s, extension at 72 oC for 40 s, and a final elongation step at 72 oC for 3 min. The amplified fragments were digested with KpnI. Digestion was performed in 15 �l reaction volume containing 1 X reaction buffer, 0.5 units of the restriction enzyme and 10 �l of purified PCR product, incubated at 37 oC overnight and analyzed by 6 % standard agarose gel electrophoresis. Primers were designed using the web-based PRIMER 3.0 program (http://workbench.sdsc.edu). We used the «BLAST» program at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ blast to check the primers specificity. Hypothetical RFLP results were tested using NEBcutter V2.0 (http://tools. neb.com/NEBcutter2). We also used the PSIPRED Pro- tein Sequence Analysis Workbench (http://bioinf.cs.ucl. ac.uk/psipred) to predict the protein secondary structure. Results and discussion. The Sanger sequencing of EPHA1 gene loci with substitutions was performed. Se- quencing confirmed the results of the exome analysis of UKR 094 family members and revealed that the fa- ther is a heterozygous carrier for the C1891T polymor- phism and the mother is a heterozygous carrier for the C1475T polymorphism (Fig. 2). The sample that had previously undergone Sanger sequencing was used as a positive control. RFLP analysis of the G1475A EPHA1 variants. The designed primers successfully amplified the exon 7 frag- ment (194 bp) of EPHA1 gene. The G to A transition in G1475A variant creates a restriction site for endonuc- lease KpnI. Thereby three different patterns could be observed for G1475A variant after the restriction digestion: a 194 bp band (for 1475A/A); a 194 bp, a 101 bp and a 93 bp bands (for 1475G/A); a 101 bp and a 93 bp bands (1475G/G) (Fig. 3). ARMS for G1891A analysis is based on the obser- vation that PCR amplification is inefficient or comple- tely refractory if there is a mismatch between the 3' ter- minal nucleotide of a PCR primer and a corresponding template. This approach implies two PCR reactions. Amplification of the allele 1891G is accomplished using a complementary primer «wild type» (Table 1). Con- versely, only the 1891A allele will be amplified if the 3' residue is complementary to the sequence with substitu- tion (Table 1). Thus, as a result a normal (G1891G) in- dividual generates PCR product only in the «normal» reaction; a heterozygote gives products in both reac- tions, and a homozygous A1891A individual gives amp- lification only in the «mutant» reaction. The results of analysis of individuals with different genotypes are pre- sented in Fig. 4. Based on the RFLP analysis of G1475A variant, indi- viduals were classified into three groups: GG (1475G/ G), GA (1475G/A) and AA (1475A/A). Of the 300 ana- lyzed samples from the present study, we have found 7 heterozygous carriers for the G1475A polymorphism only. Genotypes and allele frequencies of the G1475A 508 GULKOVSKYI R. V.

The observed genotype distributions showed no deviations from Har- dy-Weinberg expectations. The frequency of allelic variants of EPHA1 gene in our study is in agreement with the published data ob- tained within the International HapMap Project (http:// hapmap.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) (Table 2). We did not identify G1891A substitution in any of 300 investigated volunteer donors. It was found only in the members of aforesaid Ukrainian family with ID in children. Previous reports have demonstrated a signifi- cant association of T3022C (rs11767557) polymor- phism within this gene with Alzheimer’s disease [14, 15]. EPHA1 has been reported to be highly expressed in the neural tissues during embryogenesis [3, 4]. The first analyzed SNP – G1475A – exchanges co- don 492 from arginine (CGG) to a glutamine (CAG). The second one – G1891A – leads to an amino acid change at position 631 from glycine (GGA) to arginine (AGA). To understand a biochemical effect of these substitutions we tried to predict possible changes in the EPHA1 protein structure. A comparative analysis of the predicted secondary structure revealed that both amino acid substitutions lead to significant changes in the pro- bability of the �-sheet forming. The change of Arg492 to Glu results in extending the 11th and 12th �-sheets in the fibronectin type III repeat of EPHA1 protein by 1 amino acid. The change of Gly631 to Arg results in extending of the 2nd �-sheet in the tyrosine kinase do- main by 1 amino acid. Thereby these substitutions may directly cause changes in protein solubility or binding with ligands or protein-partners. In the frame of CHERISH FP7 project, the exome NGS was performed for two affected probands from Ukrainian family with moderate ID, which revealed two polymorphisms in the EPHA1 gene: G1475A and novel SNP G1891A. The assays for detection of these SNPs based on ARMS and restriction analysis were developed and the preliminary studies on the distribu- tion of G1475A and G1891A polymorphisms in the population of Ukraine were conducted. Further case- control EPHA1 exons sequencing will be carried out to evaluate the involvement of the EPHA1 mutations in ID development. Acknowledgements. We thank M. Noukas, M. Sauk, L. Milani, T.
