Disease
[TCO2_HUMAN] Defects in TCN2 are the cause of transcobalamin II deficiency (TCN2 deficiency) [MIM:275350]. This results in various forms of anemia. [CD320_HUMAN] Methylmalonic aciduria due to transcobalamin receptor defect. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Function
[TCO2_HUMAN] Primary vitamin B12-binding and transport protein. Delivers cobalamin to cells. [CD320_HUMAN] Germinal center-B (GC-B) cells differentiate into memory B-cells and plasma cells (PC) through interaction with T-cells and follicular dendritic cells (FDC). CD320 augments the proliferation of PC precursors generated by IL-10. Receptor for the cellular uptake of transcobalamin bound cobalamin.[1] [2]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Cellular uptake of vitamin B12 (cobalamin) requires capture of transcobalamin (TC) from the plasma by CD320, a ubiquitous cell surface receptor of the LDLR family. Here we present the crystal structure of human holo-TC in complex with the extracellular domain of CD320, visualizing the structural basis of the TC-CD320 interaction. The observed interaction chemistry can rationalize the high affinity of CD320 for TC and lack of haptocorrin binding. The in vitro affinity and complex stability of TC-CD320 were quantitated using a solid-phase binding assay and thermostability analysis. Stable complexes with TC were also observed for the disease-causing CD320DeltaE88 mutant and for the isolated LDLR-A2 domain. We also determined the structure of the TC-CD320DeltaE88 complex, which revealed only minor changes compared with the wild-type complex. Finally, we demonstrate significantly reduced in vitro affinity of TC for CD320 at low pH, recapitulating the proposed ligand release during the endocytic pathway.
