The transcription factor GA-binding protein (GABP) is composed of two subunits, the Ets-related GABP-alpha and a GABP-alpha-associated subunit, GABP beta. GABP alpha binds to a specific DNA sequence and GABP beta exists as b1 and b2 splice variants that differ in their C-termini. In primary neuronal cultures, GABP beta is expressed in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus, whereas GABP alpha is expressed mainly in the nucleus. GABP is constitutively expressed as either a GABP alpha beta heterodimer or a GABP alpha b heterotetramer, both of which can modify GABP-dependent transcription in vitro and in vivo. The GABP alpha beta tetrameric complex performs many different functions, such as stimulating transcription of the adenovirus E4 gene, differentially activating BRCA1 expression in human breast cell lines, potentiating Tat-mediated activation of long terminal repeat promoter transcription and viral replication in certain cell types, acting as a coordinator of mitochrondrial and nuclear transcription for cytochrome oxidase in neurons and assisting in the regulation of rpL32 gene transcription.

Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a pleiotropic genetic disorder characterised by obesity, photoreceptor degeneration, polydactyly, hypogenitalism, renal abnormalities, and developmental delay. Other associated clinical findings in BBS patients include diabetes, hypertension, and congenital heart defects. BBS genes map to multiple loci and encode fourteen proteins, BBS1-BBS14. Many BBS genes encode basal body or cilia proteins, suggesting that BBS is a ciliary dysfunction disorder. BBS10 (Bardet-Biedl syndrome 10), also known as chromosome 12 open reading fame 58, C12orf58 or FLJ23560, is a novel 723 amino acid protein belonging to the TCP-1 chaperonin family. BBS10 localizes to the basal body of primary cilium and assists in protein folding upon ATP hydrolysis. Inhibition of BBS10 has been found to impair ciliogenesis, activate the glycogen synthase kinase 3 pathway and cause peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor nuclear accumulation. The gene encoding BBS10 contains two exons and maps to human chromosome 12q21.2.

The GGA family of proteins (Golgi-localized, ARF-binding proteins) are ubiquitous coat proteins that facilitate the trafficking of soluble proteins from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to endosomes/lysosomes by means of interactions with TGN-sorting receptors, ARF (ADP-ribosylation factor), and clathrin (1?). Members of the GGA family, GGA1,GGA2 (also known as VEAR) and GGA3, are multidomain proteins that bind mannose 6-phosphate receptors (MPRs) (1,2,4). GGAs have modular structures with an N-terminal VHS (VPS-27, Hrs, and STAM) domain followed by a GAT (GGA and TOM1) domain, a connecting hinge segment, and a C-terminal GAE (?adaptin ear) domain (5). The amino-terminal VHS domains of GGAs form complexes with the cytoplasmic domains of sorting receptors by recognizing acidic-cluster di-leucine (ACLL) sequences (3). GGA1 and GGA2 do not associate with each other, but they do colocalize on perinuclear membranes (2). The cytosolic domain of memapsin 2, but not that of memapsin 1, binds the VHS domains of GGA1 and GGA2 (6). The human GGA1 gene maps to chromosome 22 and encodes a protein that shares 45% sequence identity with GGA2 and GGA3 (1).

The cystatin superfamily is a well-established family of cysteine protease inhibitors. Cystatins A and B (type 1) are mainly intracellular; cystatins C, D, E/M, F, G, S, SN and SA cystatins are extracellular (type 2); and the kininogens are type 3 cystatins which are intravascular proteins. All true cystatins inhibit cysteine peptidases of the papain family, such as cathepsins, and some also inhibit legumain family enzymes. Cystatin SA, cystatin S and cystatin SN are found primarily in saliva. Cystatin S and SN can also be expressed in tears, urine and seminal fluid. Cystatin C is a related protein which is expressed in brain, thymus, ovary, epididymis and vas deferens. Cystatin D protects against proteinases in the oral cavity, while Cystatin E/M and F moderate the inhibition of cathepsin proteins. The fetuins, part of the cystatin superfamily, are secretable proteins that influence osteogenesis and bone resorption, regulation of the insulin and hepatocyte growth factor receptors and the response to systemic inflammation. High molecular weight kininogen (Kininogen HC) and low molecular weight kininogen (Kininogen LC) have varied roles, though they both inhibit the thrombin- and plasmin-induced aggregation of thrombocytes.

Vacuolar-type H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) is a multisubunit enzyme responsible for acidification of eukaryotic intracellular organelles. V-ATPases pump protons against an electrochemical gradient, while F-ATPases reverse the process, thereby synthesizing ATP. A peripheral V1 domain, which is responsible for ATP hydrolysis, and a integral V0 domain, which is responsible for proton translocation, compose V-ATPase. Nine subunits (AH) make up the V1 domain and five subunits (a, d, c, c' and c") make up the V0 domain. Like F-ATPase, V-ATPase most likely operates through a rotary mechanism. The V-ATPase V1 B subunit exists as two isoforms. In the inner ear, the V-ATPase B1 isoform functions in proton secretion and is required to maintain proper endolymph pH and normal auditory function. The gene encoding the human V-ATPase B1 isoform maps to chromosome 2cen-q13. Mutations in this gene cause distal renal tubular acidosis associated with sensorineural deafness. The V-ATPase B2 isoform is expressed in kidney and is the only B isoform expressed in osteoclasts. The gene encoding the human V-ATPase B2 isoform maps to chromosome 8p22-p21.

C17orf42 is a 360 amino acid protein that exists as two alternatively spliced isoforms and is encoded by a gene mapping to human chromosome 17. Chromosome 17 makes up over 2.5% of the human genome with about 81 million bases encoding over 1200 genes. Two key tumour suppressor genes are associated with chromosome 17, namely, p53 and BRCA1. tumour suppressor p53 is necessary for maintenance of cellular genetic integrity by moderating cell fate through DNA repair versus cell death. Malfunction or loss of p53 expression is associated with malignant cell growth and Li-Fraumeni syndrome. Like p53, BRCA1 is directly involved in DNA repair, specifically it is recognised as a genetic determinant of early onset breast cancer and predisposition to cancers of the ovary, colon, prostate gland and fallopian tubes. Chromosome 17 is also linked to neurofibromatosis, a condition characterised by neural and epidermal lesions, and dysregulated Schwann cell growth. Alexander disease, Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome and Canavan disease are also associated with chromosome 17.
