A disease characterized by patches of skin pigmentation (cafe-au-lait spots), Lisch nodules of the iris, tumors in the peripheral nervous system and fibromatous skin tumors.

JMML is a pediatric myelodysplastic syndrome that constitutes approximately 30% of childhood cases of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and 2% of leukemia. Germline mutations of NF1 account for the association of JMML with type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF1). Defects in NF1 are the cause of Watson syndrome (WS) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/193520 193520]]. WS is characterized by the presence of pulmonary stenosis, cafe-au-lait spots, and mental retardation. WS is considered as an atypical form of NF1. Defects in NF1 are a cause of familial spinal neurofibromatosis (FSNF) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/162210 162210]]. Familial spinal NF is considered to be an alternative form of neurofibromatosis, showing multiple spinal tumors.<ref>PMID:11704931</ref> Defects in NF1 are a cause of neurofibromatosis-Noonan syndrome (NFNS) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/601321 601321]]. NFNS is characterized by manifestations of both NF1 and Noonan syndrome (NS). NS is a disorder characterized by dysmorphic facial features, short stature, hypertelorism, cardiac anomalies, deafness, motor delay, and a bleeding diathesis.<ref>PMID:12707950</ref> <ref>PMID:16380919</ref> <ref>PMID:19845691</ref> Defects in NF1 may be a cause of colorectal cancer (CRC) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/114500 114500]]. | ||

- | Mutations in the NF1 gene cause the familial genetic disease neurofibromatosis type I, as well as predisposition to cancer. The NF1 gene product, neurofibromin, is a GTPase-activating protein and acts as a tumor suppressor by negatively regulating the small GTPase, Ras. However, structural insights into neurofibromin activation remain incompletely defined. Here, we provide cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures that reveal an extended neurofibromin homodimer in two functional states: an auto-inhibited state with occluded Ras-binding site and an asymmetric open state with an exposed Ras-binding site. Mechanistically, the transition to the active conformation is stimulated by nucleotide binding, which releases a lock that tethers the catalytic domain to an extended helical repeat scaffold in the occluded state. Structure-guided mutational analysis supports functional relevance of allosteric control. Disease-causing mutations are mapped and primarily impact neurofibromin stability. Our findings suggest a role for nucleotides in neurofibromin regulation and may lead to therapeutic modulation of Ras signaling. | ||
