Abstract (EN): The majority of the known transthyretin (TTR) variants are associated with amyloidosis, but there are also variants associated with euthyroid hyperthyroxinemia and others are apparently nonpathogenic. TTR Met 119 is a nonpathogenic variant found to be frequent in the Portuguese population, Previous studies on thyroxine (T-4) binding to semi-purified TTR from heterozygotic carriers of TTR Met 119, reported by us and other groups, revealed different results. Therefore, to further characterize T-4 binding to TTR Met 119 we performed T-4-TTR binding studies in homotetrameric recombinant TTR Met 119 variant and normal TTR. We also studied T-4 binding to TTR purified from serum of different heterozygotic carriers of TTR Met 119 including compound heterozygotic individuals carriers of a TTR mutation in the other allele. We observed an increased T-4 binding affinity to TTR Met 119 from heterozygotic individuals and compound heterozygotes and this effect of increasing T-4 binding affinity was consistent and independent from the mutation present in the other allele. Recombinant homotetrameric TTR Met 119 and heterotetrameric protein from heterozygotic carriers of TTR Met 119 presented similar T-4 binding affinity demonstrating the increased T-4 binding affinity of TTR Met 119. X-ray crystallography studies performed on the recombinant TTR Met 119 variant revealed structural alterations mainly at the level of residue Leu 110 allowing a closer contact between the hormone and the mutant protein. These results are consistent with the observed T-4 binding results.
