Disease

[TTPA_HUMAN] Defects in TTPA are the cause of ataxia with isolated vitamin E deficiency (AVED) [MIM:277460]. AVED is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by spinocerebellar degeneration. It causes ataxia and peripheral neuropathy that resembles Friedreich ataxia. AVED patients have markedly reduced plasma levels of vitamin E.^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4] ^[5] ^[6]

Function

[TTPA_HUMAN] Binds alpha-tocopherol and enhances its transfer between separate membranes.

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Vitamin E is one of the most important natural antioxidants, protecting polyunsaturated fatty acids in the membranes of cells. Among different chemical isoforms assimilated from dietary regimes, RRR-alpha-tocopherol is the only one retained in higher animals. This is possible thanks to alpha-Tocopherol Transfer Protein (alpha-TTP), which extracts alpha-tocopherol from endosomal compartments in liver cells, facilitating its distribution into the body. Here we show that, upon binding to its substrate, alpha-TTP acquires tendency to aggregation into thermodynamically stable high molecular weight oligomers. Determination of the structure of such aggregates by X-ray crystallography revealed a spheroidal particle formed by 24 protein monomers. Oligomerization is triggered by refolding of the N-terminus. Experiments with cultured cell monolayers demonstrate that the same oligomers are efficiently transported through an endothelial barrier (HUVEC) and not through an epithelial one (Caco-2). Discovery of a human endogenous transport protein with intrinsic capability of crossing endothelial tissues opens to new ways of drug delivery into the brain or other tissues protected by endothelial barriers.
