New Zealand obese (NZO/HlLt) male mice develop polygenic diabetes and altered phosphatidylcholine metabolism. The gene encoding phosphatidylcholine transfer protein (PC-TP) is sited within the support interval for Nidd3, a recessive NZO-derived locus on Chromosome 11 identified by prior segregation analysis between NZO/HlLt and NON/Lt. Sequence analysis revealed that the NZO-derived PC-TP contained a non-synonymous point mutation that resulted in an Arg120His substitution, which was shared by the related NZB/BlNJ and NZW/LacJ mouse strains. Consistent with the structure-based predictions, functional studies demonstrated that Arg120His PC-TP was inactive, suggesting that this mutation contributes to the deficiencies in phosphatidylcholine metabolism observed in NZO mice.
