This gene encodes a transmembrane Signalling polypeptide which contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) in its cytoplasmic domain. The encoded protein may associate with the killer-cell inhibitory receptor (KIR) family of membrane glycoproteins and may act as an activating signal transduction element. This protein may bind zeta-chain (TCR) associated protein kinase 70kDa (ZAP-70) and spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) and play a role in signal transduction, bone modeling, brain myelination, and inflammation. Mutations within this gene have been associated with polycystic lipomembranous osteodysplasia with sclerosing leukoencephalopathy (PLOSL), also known as Nasu-Hakola disease. Its putative receptor, triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2), also causes PLOSL. Multiple alternative transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.

The tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) motif is a degenerate, 34 amino acid sequence found in many proteins and acts to mediate protein-protein interactions in various pathways. At the sequence level, there can be up to 16 tandem TPR repeats, each of which has a helix-turn-helix shape that stacks on other TPR repeats to achieve ligand binding specificity. EDRF1 (erythroid differentiation-related factor 1), also known as C10orf137 (chromosome 10 open reading frame 137), is a 1238 amino acid protein containing two TPR repeats. Localizing to nucleus, EDRF1 is involved in transcriptional activation of globin genes by regulating DNA-binding activity of GATA-1 transcription factor. EDRF1 may also play an important role in organ development and histological differentiation. EDRF1 exists as four alternatively spliced isoforms and is encoded by a gene mapping to human chromosome 10q26.13.

HHCM is a 467 amino acid protein that has oncogenic transforming capabilities on a variety of different cell lines. When HHCM was transfected into BRL-1 (Buffalo rat liver) or NIH3T3 cells, the cells exhibited significant morphological changes, anchorage independent growth and loss of contact inhibition. When the cells were inoculated into rats and mice, they became highly tumorigenic. HHCM gene-related DNA sequences were found in at least nineteen hepatomas of Asian origin. The gene encoding HHCM maps to human chromosome 8, which is made up of nearly 146 million bases and encodes about 800 genes. Translocation of portions of chromosome 8 with amplifications of the c-Myc gene are found in some leukemias and lymphomas, and are typically associated with a poor prognosis.

Zinc-finger proteins contain DNA-binding domains and have a wide variety of functions, most of which encompass some form of transcriptional activation or repression. The majority of Zinc-finger proteins contain a Kr_ppel-type DNA binding domain and a KRAB domain, which is thought to interact with KAP1, thereby recruiting histone modifying proteins. HIC-2 (hypermethylated in cancer 2) possesses Zinc finger motifs that are thought to be important for DNA-binding and also has a BTB/POZ domain at the N-terminus, which is thought to be important for protein-protein binding, as well as for the binding of transcription factors. HIC-2 is also known as Hic-3, HIC1-related gene on chromosome 22 or Zinc finger and BTB domain-containing protein 30, and is a 615 amino acid protein that is expressed as two isoforms produced by alternative splicing. HIC-2 is highly expressed in cerebellum and is localised to the nucleus in cells. HIC-2 contains a short amino acid sequence that is thought to interact with CtBP, a transcriptional repressor. The gene sequence associated with HIC-2 is thought to be a target for miRNAs (microRNAs) which are expressed in many cancers, suggesting that HIC-2 could possess tumor suppressor capabilities.

Supplier: Bioss

This gene expresses a paternally imprinted antisense transcript of the insulin-like growth factor 2 gene. The transcript is overexpressed in Wilms' tumor. This gene is predicted to be non-coding because the predicted protein is not conserved in any other species and the majority of transcripts would be candidates for non-sense mediated decay (NMD) if a protein were expressed. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Chromosome 1 is the largest human chromosome spanning about 260 million base pairs and making up 8% of the human genome. There are about 3,000 genes on chromosome 1, and considering the great number of genes there are also a large number of diseases associated with chromosome 1. Notably, the rare aging disease Hutchinson-Gilford progeria is associated with the LMNA gene which encodes lamin A. When defective, the LMNA gene product can build up in the nucleus and cause characteristic nuclear blebs. The mechanism of rapidly enhanced aging is unclear and is a topic of continuing exploration. The MUTYH gene is located on chromosome 1 and is partially responsible for familial adenomatous polyposis. Stickler syndrome, Parkinsons, Gaucher disease and Usher syndrome are also associated with chromosome 1. A breakpoint has been identified in 1q which disrupts the DISC1 gene and is linked to schizophrenia. Aberrations in chromosome 1 are found in a variety of cancers including head and neck cancer, malignant melanoma and multiple myeloma. The C1orf156 gene product has been provisionally designated C1orf156 pending further characterization.

The protein encoded by this gene is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase that plays a major role in intracellular protein catabolism. Its substrates include collagen and elastin, as well as alpha-1 protease inhibitor, a major controlling element of neutrophil elastase activity. The encoded protein has been implicated in several pathologic processes, including myofibril necrosis in myopathies and in myocardial ischemia, and in the renal tubular response to proteinuria. This protein, which is a member of the peptidase C1 family, is a dimer composed of disulfide-linked heavy and light chains, both produced from a single protein precursor. At least two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.

LRRFIP1 is an 738 amino acid human protein whose rodent counterpart is known as Lrrfip1 (also designated FLAP in mouse). LRRFIP1 is also believed to control smooth muscle cell proliferation following arterial injury through PDGF-A repression. The N-terminus of LRRFIP1 shows high homology to the coiled-coil domain of FLAP, a protein which binds the leucine-rich repeat (LRR) of Flightless I, and the interaction of LRRFIP1 with the LRR of Flightless I has been confirmed. LRRFIP1 does not bind single-stranded DNA or RNA significantly and binds double-stranded DNA weakly. In contrast, LRRFIP1 binds double-stranded RNA with high affinity, and two molecules of LRRFIP1 bind the TaR stem. The RNA binding domain has been identified and encompasses a lysine-rich motif. Flightless I has a C-terminal TaR-like domain which binds Actin and therefore the association of LRRFIP1 with the LRR of Flightless I may provide a link between the Actin cytoskeleton and RNA in mammalian cells.

BPGM (2,3-bisphosphoglycerate mutase) is a 259 amino acid protein that belongs to the phosphoglycerate mutase family and exists as a homodimer that plays a crucial role in the regulation of hemoglobin oxygen. Specifically, BPGM catalyses the conversion of 3-D-glyceroyl phosphate to 2,3-bisD-glycerate (2,3-BPG), a reaction that is essential for controlling the concentration of 2,3-BPG within the cell. The gene encoding BPGM maps to human chromosome 7, which houses over 1000 genes and comprises nearly 5% of the human genome. Defects in some of the genes localised to chromosome 7 have been linked to Osteogenesis imperfecta, Williams-Beuren syndrome, Pendred syndrome, Lissencephaly, Citrullinemia and Shwachman-Diamond syndrome. Involvement in disease: Defects in BPGM are the cause of bisphosphoglycerate mutase deficiency (BPGMD). A disease characterised by hemolytic anemia, splenomegaly, cholelithiasis and cholecystitis.
