Abstract | Purpose: Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) is essential for the synthesis of thyroid hormones. However, specific mutations render TPO antigenic and prone to autoimmune attacks leading to thyroid cancer, TPO deficiency, and congenital hypothyroidism (CH). Despite technological advancement, most experimental procedures cannot quickly identify the genetic causes of CH nor detect thyroid cancer in the early stages. Methods: We performed saturated computational mutagenesis to calculate the folding energy changes (∆∆G) caused by missense mutations and analyzed the mutations involved in post-translational modifications (PTMs). Results: Our results showed that the functional important missense mutations occurred in the heme peroxidase domain. Through computational saturation mutagenesis, we identified the TPO mutations in G393 and G348 affecting protein stability and PTMs. Our folding energy calculations revealed that seven of nine somatic thyroid cancer mutations destabilized TPO. Conclusion: These findings highlight the impact of these specific mutations on TPO stability, linking them to thyroid cancer and other genetic thyroid-related disorders. Our results show that computational mutagenesis of proteins provides a quick insight into rare mutations causing Mendelian disorders and cancers in humans. |
