FAM149B1

Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Family with sequence similarity 149 member B1 is an uncharacterized protein[1] encoded by the human FAM149B1 gene, with one alias KIAA0974.[2][3] The protein resides in the nucleus of the cell. The predicted secondary structure of the gene contains multiple alpha-helices, with a few beta-sheet structures. The gene is conserved in mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, and some invertebrates. The protein encoded by this gene contains a DUF3719 protein domain, which is conserved across its orthologues.[3] The protein is expressed at slightly below average levels in most human tissue types, with high expression in brain, kidney, and testes tissues, while showing relatively low expression levels in pancreas tissues.[4][5]

Gene

This gene has a possible 14 exons. It is located on the forward strand of chromosome 10 at 10q22.2 on the positive strand.[6] The total span of the gene, including 5' and 3' UTR, is 3149 base pairs. The gene is flanked on the left by NUDT13 (nudix hydrolase 13) and on the right by DNAJC9-AS1 (DNAJC9 antisense RNA 1).

Protein

General Properties

The primary protein encoded by the FAM149B1 gene is 583 amino acids in length and has a molecular weight of 64 kDal. The protein contains a conserved protein domain, DUF3719[8][6] located at the amino acids 115-179. The isoelectric point of the protein before post-translational modifications is 6.3,[9] and this isoelectric point is relatively conserved in the protein's isoforms, especially in those with the most similar composition of exons. This protein is considered serine rich, in that it expresses a higher serine composition relative to the composition of other human proteins.[10][11] This high serine composition is also seen in the gene's orthologues.

Splice Variants

The splice variants of the protein demonstrate some shared qualities of the protein that is translated from the primary transcript. Because each isoform is a different length and contains various combinations of the available exons, there are variances in the isoelectric point and molecular weight. The isoforms closest to the weight and exon composition to the primary transcript generally share these characteristics. The protein isoforms missing the conserved DUF3719 domain are isoforms X5 and X6 because this domain is contained between exons 3-6.

Structure

There is a negative charge cluster from amino acids 212 to 239. Negative charge clusters often coordinate calcium, or magnesium or zinc ions, mannose-binding protein, or aminopeptidase.[12] The protein contains no positive or mixed charge clusters. The secondary structure of the protein is predicted to be a combination of mostly alpha-helices with a few predicted beta-sheet structures.

Expression

Overall in the human body, this gene is expressed at levels slightly below the average human gene expression level.[18] The protein is expressed in most cell types of the human body.[19] Most experimentation shows a higher expression of this protein in kidney, testes, and brain tissues, with very low expression seen in pancreas tissues.[4][5] The gene is expressed at lower levels than its normal expression in most cancerous tissues. The gene is also seen to be expressed most highly in fetal and infantile tissues.[20]

DNA microarray analysis experiments show expression patterns of FAM149B1 compared to multiple other genes in a sample. FAM149B1 is shown to be at a lower expression level than most other genes in a multiple myeloma cell line and was shown to increase to close to average gene expression levels after the beta-catenin was depleted from the sample.[21]

FAM149B1 expression was also shown to decrease to lower than average gene expression levels in an ovarian cancer cell line after the use of an anticancer drug named NSC319726.[13]

Transcriptional Regulation

The gene has 9 different identified promoter regions, which correlate to the various isoforms of the gene. The promoter for the primary transcript of the gene has binding sites for a variety of different transcription factors.

Interacting Proteins

Current data supports the FAM149B1 protein interactions with 6 different proteins.

One protein was determined to be an interacting protein with FAM149B1 through affinity chromatography techniques.

  • The TBC1D32 protein has a role in many biological processes including determination of left/right symmetry, embryonic digit morphogenesis, heart development, lens development in camera-type eye, non-motile cilium assembly, protein localization to cilium, retinal pigment epithelium development, and smoothened signaling pathway involved in dorsal/ventral neural tube patterning. This protein is classified as a developmental protein.[22]

The other five proteins that have been predicted to interact with FAM149B1 protein were found through the process of textmining.

  • The human ABHD8 (Alpha/Beta Hydrolase Domain-Containing Protein 8) protein is a hydrolase protein found in the extracellular exosome.[23]
    • METTL16 (Methyltransferase 10 Domain Containing) protein is a methyltransferase found in the nucleus and cytosol of the cell.[24] This protein was experimentally determined to interact with YARS protein (tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase), which catalyzes attachment of tyrosine to tRNA, and MEPCE (Methylphosphate Capping Enzyme) which adds a methylphosphate cap at the 5-end of 7SK snRNA.
  • SLC6A17 (Solute Carrier Family 6 Member 17) is a sodium-dependent vesicular transporter that is selective for proline, glycine, leucine, and alanine, and is not chloride-dependent as are most other transporters in its family.[25]
  • The TM2D1 (Beta-Amyloid-Binding Protein) gene is thought to participate in beta-amyloid-induced apoptosis with its interaction with beta-APP42, and also has G-protein coupled receptor activity. This protein is found mainly in the nucleus and plasma membrane of the cell.[26]
  • The DNAJc9 (DnaJ Heat Shock Protein Family (Hsp40) Member C9) protein may play a role as co-chaperone of the Hsp70 family proteins HSPA1A, HSPA1B and HSPA8. This protein is found extracellularly, and in the nucleus, plasma membrane, and cytosol.

Homology/Evolution

Paralog

There is one known paralog, FAM149A.[27] It is located on the human chromosome 4 at 4q35.1. The function of the protein encoded by this gene is not well understood, but it also contains the DUF3719 protein domain. The protein translated by this gene shares a 21.2% identity[28] with the FAM149B1 protein. The protein sequence is 482 amino acids in length.
