LRRIQ3 (Leucine-rich repeats and IQ motif containing 3), which is also known as LRRC44, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LRRIQ3 gene. [5] It is predominantly expressed in the testes, and is linked to a number of diseases. [6]

Contents

Gene

Locus

LRRIQ3 is found on the minus strand of the end of the short arm of human chromosome 1 at 1p31.1. [7]

Overall Structure

There are a total of 7 exons in the putative sequence of LRRIQ3. [7]

mRNA

Expression

LRRIQ3 is expressed as 2 primary isoforms, which produce proteins of length 624 amino acids and 464 amino acids respectively. [7] It is expressed at low levels in human and brown rat tissues, [8] [9] with highest expression levels in testes tissue. There are relatively high expression levels in T cells, the epididymis, the kidney, and a number of glands. [10]

Protein

General Characteristics and Compositional Features

Human protein LRRIQ3 Isoform 1 consists of 624 amino acids, and has a molecular weight of 73.7 kDa. The isoelectric point of LRRIQ3 is 9.73, which suggests that LRRIQ3 is basic at normal physiological pH (~7.4). [11] Additionally, there is strong evidence that human LRRIQ3 localizes to the plasma membrane from antibody staining. [12] LRRIQ3 is rich in lysine residues, with a total of 82 lysines. It is also slightly low on glycines. [13]

Domains and Motifs

In total, there are 4 conserved domains within LRRIQ3: 3 leucine-rich repeats and 1 IQ calmodulin-binding motif. [13] Leucine-rich repeats are typically involved in protein-protein interactions, and form a characteristic α/β horseshoe fold. [14] [15] An IQ motif provides a binding site for calmodulin (CaM) or CaM-like proteins. [16]

Secondary and Tertiary Structure

LRRIQ3 is predicted to be mostly alpha-helical in structure, including a long alpha-helical C-terminal domain. It is also predicted to function as a monomer. [17] [18] [19] [20]

Post-translational Modifications

LRRIQ3 is predicted to undergo many post-translational modifications. These include O-GlcNAcylation, SUMOylation, ubiquitination, and phosphorylation. [22] [23] LRRIQ3 is predicted to have 4 well conserved SUMOylation sites and 1 well conserved ubiquitination site. [22] A representation of these post-translational modifications is shown in the figure below.

Protein Interactions

There is evidence that LRRIQ3 interacts with a number of proteins from two-hybrid assays and affinity chromatography. The proteins LRRIQ3 interact with include LYN, NCK2, GNB4, and ABL1. [25] [26] These proteins are associated with cell signalling, cytoskeletal reorganization, and cell differentiation, as well as others. [27] [28] [29] [30]

Homology and evolution

Paralogs and Orthologs

No paralogs exists for LRRIQ3 in humans. [6] However, there are a number of orthologs, as reported by BLAST, some of which are listed below. [31] The number of years since divergence from the human protein, listed in "million of years ago (MYA)" below, were calculated using TimeTree. [32]

Clinical significance

LRRIQ3 is linked to a number of cancers. RNA-seq experiments have shown that LRRIQ3 is severely down-regulated (Log2-fold changes between -3.4 and -4.2) in a number of disease states, including pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, and breast cancer. [33] [34] [35]
