Alpha /beta-Hydrolase domain containing 12(ABHD12) is aserine hydrolaseencoded by theABHD12genethat participates in the breakdown of theendocannabinoidneurotransmitter2-arachidonylglycerol(2-AG) in thecentral nervous system.[5]It is responsible for about 9% of brain 2-AG hydrolysis.[5]Together, ABHD12 along with two other enzymes,monoacylglycerol lipase(MAGL) andABHD6,control 99% of 2-AG hydrolysis in the brain.[5]ABHD12 also serves as alysophospholipaseandmetabolizeslysophosphatidylserine(LPS).[6]

Protein structure

[edit]

ABHD12 is a ≈45kDaintegrated membraneglycoprotein,with anactive siteproposed to face into the extracellular space.[7]

Currently, thecrystal structureof ABHD12 is not known.

Function

[edit]

ABHD12 is alysophosphatidylserine(lysoPS)lipaseresponsible for regulation of immune and neurological processes, and shown to act on theendocannabinoidarachidonoylglycerol(AG) as amonoacylglycerollipase.[8][9]Endocannabinoids are associated with a range of physiological processes. ABHD12 acts on2-AG,and accounts for approximately 9% of 2-AG hydrolysis in the brain.[5]Along withMAGLandABHD6,ABHD12 is responsible for 99% of 2-AG hydrolysis in the brain,[7]and has also been shown to act on the 1(3)-AGisomer.[9]Based on the extracellular face of the ABHD12 active site and its ability to act on multiple isomericsubstrates,ABHD12 has been suggested to act as a guard to the extracellular 2-AG-CB2Rsignalling pathway inmicroglia,and peripheral 2-AG signalling, however this has not been confirmed.[9][5]

ABHD12transcriptionis abundant in the brain, specifically microglia, but has also been identified in peripheral cell types likemacrophagesandosteoclasts.[10]Murine models have shown ABHD12 plays a role in regulation oflysophosphatidylserinepathways in the brain.[11]

Clinical significance

[edit]

Mutations that compromise thecatalytic activityof ABHD12 have been causally linked to the rareneurodegenerativedisease PHARC (polyneuropathy,hearing loss,ataxia,retinitis pigmentosa,cataracts)[10]and a small proportion ofretinitis pigmentosa.[12][13]

History

[edit]

Identification of ABHD12 was first reported in genetic profiling ofautosomal recessiveretinitis pigmentosain 1995.[12]In 2010, mutations in ABHD12 were reported as a causal link for theneurodegenerativedisease PHARC.[10]

Mutations

[edit]

Mutations in ABHD12 are associated with the rareneurodegenerativedisorder PHARC, as well asretinitis pigmentosa.Null mutationshave been shown to lead to development of PHARC, while other mutations can result in a range ofphenotypes,from non-syndromicretinal degenerationto PHARC.[14]

Currently, PHARC has been identified in at least 27 individuals, with 15 identified loss of function variants of ABHD12,[15]comprising fournonsense,fourmissense,fourframeshiftand onesplicingmutation.[10][14][15][16][17][18][19]ABHD12missensemutations have been identified in individuals withretinitis pigmentosa,and a growing range ofphenotypesassociated with ABHD12 mutations from PHARC to non-syndromicretinal degenerationare being discovered.[14][18]

In vitro,enzymatic activityof ABHD12 can be eliminated by sitemutationthe residuesSerine-246,Aspartate-333, orHistidine-372, which form acatalytic triadin thehydrolasedomain.[9]

Inhibitors

[edit]

Inhibitorsof ABHD12 have been identified.[6]Orlistat(tetrahydrolipstatin; THL) andmethyl arachidonyl fluorophosphonate(MAFP), so-called "universal lipase/serine hydrolase inhibitors" that are extremely non-selective enzyme inhibitors, were found to inhibit ABHD12.[6]Selective reversible inhibitors have also been identified, includingbetulinic acid,maslinic acid,oleanolic acid,andursolic acid.[6]

Models

[edit]

Theα/β hydrolasedomain includinglipasemotifandcatalytic triadis conserved betweenmurineand human ABHD12.[11]

Based on the observation of ABHD12 mutation in PHARC affected subjects, PHARC cell lines have been considered as human models of ABHD12 knockout.[10]

Mouse knockout(ABHD12 -/-) models demonstratecerebellarmicrogliosis,motorandauditory impairment,alongside elevatedneuroinflammationwith progression associated with age. These characteristics are considered PHARC-likephenotypesas a murine model for human PHARC, however the mouse knockout model doesn't demonstrateocularormyelinationdefects, or early onset typical of PHARC.[11]The ABHD -/- murine model shows increased long-chainlysoPSaccumulation in the brain suggestinglysoPSsignalling contributes to PHARC-likepathology.[11]

Azebrafishknockdown(+/-) model has been developed which demonstratesophthalmicdefects includingmicrophthalmia,lack oflensclarity, and disruptedretina architecture.[15]

Interactions

[edit]

ElevatedlysoPSaccumulation in ABHD12knockout micesuggests lysoPS as anin vivosubstrateof ABHD12.[11]Elevated lysoPS production in ABHD12 null cells from PHARC subjects can be reversed using an inhibitor ofABHD16A.[20]

In vitrostudies demonstrateenzymatic hydrolysisofmonoacylglycerollong lipid chains by ABHD12. ABHD12 can use both 1(3)-AG and2-AGas substrates at comparableenzymatic rates.[9]

ABHD12 has been shown to be associated withAMPAtypeglutamate receptorsin the brains of rats.[21]
