Neuroblastoma breakpoint family, member 15, also known as NBPF15, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the NBPF15 gene. [3] The gene is 18762 bp long, with mRNA that is 3837 bp long. The gene is located on chromosome 1q21.1. Its sub-cellular location is predicted to be in the nucleus and cytoplasm. [4] It contains what is known as the NBPF repeat, which is a two-exon stretch of sequence that is characteristic of all 21 members of the NBPF gene family. The repeat is considered the ancestral exons, and the NBPF family has been linked to primate evolution. [5]

Contents

Function

The function of NBPF16 is not fully understood. It is a member of the NBPF family of proteins, which have been linked to possible roles in oncogenesis and tumor suppressor genes. [5]

Protein

The protein is composed of 670 amino acids. The gene contains five domains of unknown function, called DUF1220. DUF1220 domains are found in all members of the NBPF gene family, although the number differs between each member. Repetitive structure with high intergenic and intragenic sequence conservation, both in coding and noncoding regions. Makes it possible for homologous recombination to occur easily between different alleles. The repetitiveness of it, and the other members of the NBPF gene family is thought to have arisen from segmental duplications on chromosome 1. [5]

Predicted properties

Properties of NBPF16 that were predicted using bioinformatics tools:

Expression

There is little to no expression data available for the gene, but most indications point to it being ubiquitously expressed throughout the body.

Homology

Orthologs

There exists no great orthologs outside of primates. These orthologs were gathered from BLAT. [9] and BLAST searches [10]

Paralogs

Due to there being 21 other members of the NBPF gene family, there are 21 paralogs of NBPF16. They all show high conservation and repetitive structures.

Carbohydrate kinase domain containing protein, encoded by CARKD gene, is a human protein of unknown function. The CARKD gene encodes proteins with a predicted mitochondrial propeptide (mCARKD), a signal peptide (spCARKD) or neither of them (cCARKD). Confocal microscopy analysis of transfected CHO cells indicated that cCARKD remains in the cytosol, whereas mCARKD and spCARKD are targeted to the mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum respectively. The protein is conserved throughout many species, and has predicted orthologs through eukaryotes, bacteria, and archea.

Uncharacterized LOC644249 gene., also known as RP11-195B21.3, is about 1058 base pairs long and is found in Homo sapiens on chromosome 9q12. More specifically, the sequence is located on Chromosome: 9; NC_000009.11(67977457..67987991 bp). This gene’s protein product is the “coiled-coil domain-containing protein 29” which is 291 amino acids long and may contain a conserved domain in the superfamily, pfam 12001. In particular, this conserved domain contains the domain of unknown function DUF3496 which is about 110 amino acids long, functionally uncharacterized, and found in eukaryotes. Other possible motifs for the protein product exist but the DUF3496 remains the most likely. This protein may play a role as a transmembrane protein.
