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 degludec, an engineered acylated insulin, was recently reported to form a soluble depot after subcutaneous injection with a subsequent slow release of insulin and an ultralong glucose-lowering effect in excess of 40 h in humans. We describe the structure, ligand binding properties, and self-assemblies of insulin degludec using orthogonal structural methods. The protein fold adopted by insulin degludec is very similar to that of human insulin. Hexamers in the R(6) state similar to those of human insulin are observed for insulin degludec in the presence of zinc and resorcinol. However, under conditions comparable to the pharmaceutical formulation comprising zinc and phenol, insulin degludec forms finite dihexamers that are composed of hexamers in the T(3)R(3) state that interact to form an R(3)T(3)-T(3)R(3) structure. When the phenolic ligand is depleted and the solvent condition thereby mimics that of the injection site, the quaternary structure changes from dihexamers to a supramolecular structure composed of linear arrays of hundreds of hexamers in the T(6) state and an average molar mass, M(0), of 59.7 x 10(3) kg/mol. This novel concept of self-assemblies of insulin controlled by zinc and phenol provides the basis for the slow action profile of insulin degludec. To the best of our knowledge, this report for the first time describes a tight linkage between quaternary insulin structures of hexamers, dihexamers, and multihexamers and their allosteric state and its origin in the inherent propensity of the insulin hexamer for allosteric half-site reactivity.
