Low Frequency of MKRN3 and DLK1 Variants in Chinese Children with Central Precocious Puberty by Ting Chen, Linqi Chen, Haiying Wu, Rongrong Xie, Fengyun Wang, Xiuli Chen, Hui Sun, Fei Xiao

“…We also performed bioinformatic analysis to evaluate the impact of variants on MKRN3 protein structures, which showed that Ile357Met locates at the zinc-binding region (C3HC4 RING finger motif), while Glu380Lys is spatially extremely close to the C3HC4 RING finger, MKRN-specific Cys-His domain, and the third C3H1 zinc-finger motif region. Per Glu380Lys, Glu with negative charges has been changed into Lys with positive charges, which may affect the hydrogen bond formation between amino acids and the stability of the local structure, thus affecting the binding of zinc iron to MKRN3 protein. …”
