Manganese efflux transporter SLC30A10 missense polymorphism T95I associated with liver injury retains manganese efflux activity.
The activity of the manganese (Mn) efflux transporter SLC30A10 in the liver and intestines is critical for Mn excretion and preventing Mn toxicity. Homozygous loss-of-function mutations in SLC30A10 are a well-established cause of hereditary Mn toxicity. But, the relationship between more common SLC30A10 polymorphisms, Mn homeostasis, and disease is only recently emerging. In 2021, the first coding SNP in SLC30A10 (T95I) was associated with liver disease raising the hypothesis that the T95I substitution may induce disease by inhibiting the Mn efflux function of SLC30A10. Here, we test this hypothesis using structural, viability, and metal quantification approaches. Analyses of a predicted structure of SLC30A10 revealed that the side chain of T95 pointed away from the putative Mn binding cavity, raising doubts about the impact of the T95I substitution on SLC30A10 function. In HeLa or HepG2 cells, overexpression of SLC30A10-WT or T95I resulted in comparable reductions of intracellular Mn levels and protection against Mn-induced cell death. Furthermore, ∆SLC30A10 HepG2 cells, generated using CRISPR/Cas9, exhibited elevated Mn levels and heightened sensitivity to Mn-induced cell death, and these phenotypic changes were similarly rescued by expression of SLC30A10-WT or T95I. Finally, turnover rates of SLC30A10-WT or T95I were also comparable. In sum, our results indicate that the Mn transport activity of SLC30A10-T95I is essentially comparable to the WT protein. Our findings imply that SLC30A10-T95I either has a complex association with liver injury that extends beyond simple reduction in SLC30A10 activity, or alternatively, the T95I mutation lacks a causal role in liver disease.
