Crystal Structure Analysis of the Human Insulin
Structural highlights
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 PubMedWe have studied regular acting, wild-type human insulin at potency of 100U/mL from four different pharmaceutical products directly from their final finished formulation by the combined use of mass spectrometry (MS), dynamic light scattering (DLS), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and single-crystal protein crystallography (PX). All products showed similar oligomeric assembly in solution as judged by DLS and SAXS measurements. The NMR spectra were compatible with well folded proteins, showing close conformational identity for the human insulin in the four products. Crystallographic assays conducted with the final formulated products resulted in all insulin crystals belonging to the R3 space group with two a dimer in the asymmetric unit, both with the B-chain in the T configuration. Meta-analysis of the 24 crystal structures solved from the four distinct insulin products revealed close similarity between them regardless of variables such as biological origin, product batch, country origin of the product, and analytical approach, revealing a low conformational variability for the converging insulin structural ensemble. We propose the use of MS, SAXS, NMR fingerprint, and PX as a precise chemical and structural proof of folding identity of regular insulin in the final, formulated product.
