LOC100287387 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the gene LOC100287387. The function of the protein is not yet understood in the scientific community. The gene is located on the q arm of chromosome 2. [1]
The human LOC100287387 gene is located on the minus strand of the q arm of chromosome 2 at 2q37.3. [1] It overlaps the TWIST2 gene family on the plus strand of chromosome 2. [2] The gene is formed by three exons, with two introns near the start codon. [2]
There are no alternative splicings of the LOC100287387 gene (isoforms). [2]
The LOC100287387 protein is formed by a 423 amino acid peptide sequence. The molecular mass is 44.4 kdal, [5] and the isoelectric point is 10.77. [6] There is a G-patch domain and a short domain of unknown function within the peptide sequence. There are many predicted modification sites within the amino acid sequence including cAMP- dependent phosphorylation sites (CampP), casein kinase 2 (CK2), and protein kinase C (PKC) phosphorylation sites, O-linked beta-N-acetylglucosamine sites, and a sumoylation site. [3] [7] The predicted secondary structure of the protein includes 8 short alpha-helices (15.6% of the protein), 14 short extended strands (12.1%), and the rest as random coils (72%). [8]
In humans, there is low expression of LOC100287387 in all tissues. Highest expression is in the skin and central nervous system tissue such as the pons, superior cervical ganglion, trigeminal ganglion, and globus pallidus. However, expression was inconsistent among patients. [9]
The promoter region of the LOC100287387 gene contains binding sites for many transcription factors which affect transcription levels of the gene. Within the promoter region, there are three TFIIB binding sites (initiates transcription), a cysteine-serine-rich nuclear protein 1 site (an activator), a Kruppel-like zinc finger protein 219 site (repressor), a stimulating protein 1 site (activator), and many more. [10]
Orthologs to the human LOC100287387 gene are found only in mammals, and the protein sequence is not highly conserved. Conservation is highest in primates, and falls drastically among other mammals. [11] Conservation between species is highest at the nuclear localization signal and towards the end of the coding sequence at the G Patch domain and DUF308 which indicates these are the most functionally important parts of the sequence.

Coiled-coil domain containing 130 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CCDC130 gene. It is part of the U4/U5/U6 tri-snRNP in the U5 portion. This tri-snRNP comes together with other proteins to form complex B of the mature spliceosome. The mature protein is approximately 45 kilodaltons (kDa) and is extremely hydrophilic due to the abnormally high number of charged and polar amino acids. CCDC130 is a highly conserved protein, it has orthologous genes in some yeasts and plants that were found using nucleotide and protein versions of the basic local alignment search tool (BLAST) from the National Center for Biotechnology Information. GEO profiles for CCDC130 have shown that this protein is ubiquitously expressed, but the highest levels of expression are found in T-lymphocytes.

PANO1 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the PANO1 gene. PANO1 is an apoptosis inducing protein that is able to regulate the function of tumor suppressor. More specifically, P14ARF is a protein in which in humans is modulated by the PANO1 gene. P14ARF is known to function as a tumor suppressor. When PANO1 is highly expressed in the cells, it is able to modulate p14ARF by stabilizing it and protecting it from degradation. With a confidence level of 5 out of 5, PANO1 has been theorized to be expressed in the nucleolus of the cell. PANO1 is an intron-less gene. Intron-less genes only make up about 3% of the human genome. A functional analysis of these types of genes revealed that they often have tissue-specific expression in tissues such as the nervous system and testis. This kind of expression is commonly associated with neuropathies, disease, and cancer. The tissue types that PANO1 has the highest expression in, are the cerebellum regions of the brain as well as pituitary and testis tissues.
