    Abstract Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE), a prototypic heritable disorder with ectopic mineralization, manifests with characteristic skin findings, ocular involvement and cardiovascular problems, with considerable morbidity and mortality. The classic forms of PXE are due to loss-of-function mutations in the ABCC6 gene, which encodes ABCC6, a transmembrane efflux transporter expressed primarily in the liver. Several lines of evidence suggest that PXE is a primary metabolic disorder, which in the absence of ABCC6 transporter activity, displays reduced plasma anti-mineralization capacity due to reduced fetuin-A and matrix gla-protein (MGP) levels. MGP requires to be activated by gamma-glutamyl carboxylation, a vitamin K-dependent reaction, to serve in an anti-mineralization role in the peripheral connective tissue cells. Although the molecules transported from the hepatocytes to circulation by ABCC6 in vivo remain unidentified, it has been hypothesized that a critical vitamin K derivative, such as reduced vitamin K conjugated with glutathione, is secreted to circulation physiologically, but not in the absence of ABCC6 transporter activity. As a result, activation of MGP by gamma-glutamyl carboxylase is diminished, allowing slow yet progressive mineralization of connective tissues characteristic of PXE. Understanding of the pathomechanistic details of PXE provides a basis for the development of targeted molecular therapies for this currently intractable disease.

    Abstract A mutant factor IX, designated factor IXCambridge, was isolated from a patient with hemophilia B. This protein includes an 18-residue propeptide attached to the NH2 terminus of factor IX. A point mutation at residue -1, from an arginine to a serine, precludes cleavage of the propeptide by a processing protease and interferes with gamma-carboxylation of the factor IX, indicating the importance of the leader sequence in substrate recognition by the vitamin K-dependent carboxylase. This represents an example of an enzyme defect due to the presence of a point mutation in a precursor protein (preproenzyme) that is the cause of a human hereditary disease. This defect will serve as a prototype for understanding the molecular basis of some forms of hemophilia and other hereditary enzyme deficiencies.
