    Abstract Abstract Background Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a viral pandemic disease that may induce severe pneumonia in humans. In this paper, we investigated the putative implication of 12 vaccines, including BCG, OPV and MMR in the protection against COVID-19. Sequences of the main antigenic proteins in the investigated vaccines and SARS-CoV-2 proteins were compared to identify similar patterns. The immunogenic effect of identified segments was, then, assessed using a combination of structural and antigenicity prediction tools. Results A total of 14 highly similar segments were identified in the investigated vaccines. Structural and antigenicity prediction analysis showed that, among the identified patterns, three segments in Hepatitis B, Tetanus, and Measles proteins presented antigenic properties that can induce putative protective effect against COVID-19. Conclusions Our results suggest a possible protective effect of HBV, Tetanus and Measles vaccines against COVID-19, which may explain the variation of the disease severity among regions.

    Abstract: Phosphoglucomutase 3 (PGM3) protein catalyzes the conversion of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcNAc-6-P) to N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-1-phosphate (GlcNAc-1-P), which is required for the synthesis of uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) ...

    Abstract Phosphoglucomutase 3 (PGM3) protein catalyzes the conversion of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcNAc-6-P) to N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-1-phosphate (GlcNAc-1-P), which is required for the synthesis of uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) an important precursor for protein glycosylation. Mutations in PGM3 gene have been recently shown to underlie a new congenital disorder of glycosylation often associated to elevated IgE. Herein, we report twelve PGM3 deficient patients. They belong to three highly consanguineous families, originating from a rural district in the west central Tunisia. The patient’s clinical phenotype is characterized by severe respiratory and cutaneous infections as well as developmental delay and severe mental retardation. Fourteen patients died in early infancy before diagnosis supporting the severity of the clinical phenotype.Laboratory findings revealed elevated IgE, CD4 lymphopenia and impaired T cell proliferation in most patients. Genetic analysis showed the presence, of a unique homozygous mutation (p.Glu340del) in PGM3 gene leading to reduced PGM3 abundance. Segregating analysis using fifteen polymorphic markers overlapping PGM3 gene showed that all patients inherited a common homozygous haplotype encompassing 10-Mb on chromosome 6. The founder mutational event was estimated to have occurred approximately 100 years ago.To date, (p.Glu340del) mutation represents the first founder mutation identified in PGM3 gene. These findings will facilitate the development of preventive approaches through genetic counselling and prenatal diagnosis in the affected families.

    Abstract Activation induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is an essential enzyme for class switch recombination (CSR) and somatic hypermutation (SHM) during secondary immune response. Mutations in the AICDA gene are responsible for Hyper IgM 2 syndrome where both CSR and SHM or only CSR are affected. Indeed, triggering either of the two mechanisms requires the DNA deamination activity of AID. Besides, different domains of AID may be differentially involved in CSR and SHM through their interaction with specific cofactors. Herein, we studied the AID-induced SHM activity of the AID-His130Pro mutant identified in a patient with Hyper IgM 2 syndrome. AID mutagenic activity was monitored by the reversion of nonsense mutations of the EGFP gene assessed by flow cytometry. We found that the His130Pro mutation, which affects CSR, preserves AID mutagenic activity. Indeed, the His130 residue is located in a putative specific CSR region in the APOBEC-like domain, known to involve CSR specific cofactors that probably play a major role in AID physiological activities.
