Disease
[INS_HUMAN] Defects in INS are the cause of familial hyperproinsulinemia (FHPRI) [MIM:176730].[1] [2] [3] [4] Defects in INS are a cause of diabetes mellitus insulin-dependent type 2 (IDDM2) [MIM:125852]. IDDM2 is a multifactorial disorder of glucose homeostasis that is characterized by susceptibility to ketoacidosis in the absence of insulin therapy. Clinical fetaures are polydipsia, polyphagia and polyuria which result from hyperglycemia-induced osmotic diuresis and secondary thirst. These derangements result in long-term complications that affect the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and blood vessels.[5] Defects in INS are a cause of diabetes mellitus permanent neonatal (PNDM) [MIM:606176]. PNDM is a rare form of diabetes distinct from childhood-onset autoimmune diabetes mellitus type 1. It is characterized by insulin-requiring hyperglycemia that is diagnosed within the first months of life. Permanent neonatal diabetes requires lifelong therapy.[6] [7] Defects in INS are a cause of maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 10 (MODY10) [MIM:613370]. MODY10 is a form of diabetes that is characterized by an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance, onset in childhood or early adulthood (usually before 25 years of age), a primary defect in insulin secretion and frequent insulin-independence at the beginning of the disease.[8] [9] [10]
Function
[INS_HUMAN] Insulin decreases blood glucose concentration. It increases cell permeability to monosaccharides, amino acids and fatty acids. It accelerates glycolysis, the pentose phosphate cycle, and glycogen synthesis in liver.
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Insulin shows a complex equilibrium between monomers and hexamers, involving varying conformers and association states. We sought to perform a structural characterization of the fast-acting human insulin variant B28Asp ("aspart"). Small-angle X-ray scattering measurements reveal similar globular behavior in both the aspart and regular human insulin, with a Rg of 19A and a Dmax of approximately 50A, indicating similar mean quaternary assembly distribution. Crystallographic assays revealed a T3R3 assembly of the aspart insulin formed by the TR dimer in the asymmetric unit, with all the first 8 residues of the B chain in the R-state monomer in helical conformation and the participation of its B3Asn in the stabilization of the hexamer. Our data provide access to novel structural information on aspart insulin such as an aspart insulin dimer in solution, the aspart insulin in T conformation and a pure R-state conformer establishing a T3R3 assembly, providing further insight on the stepwise conformational transition and assembly of this fast-insulin.
