Pleckstrin Homology domain containing Family M Member 3, or PLEKHM3, is the hypothetical protein that in humans is encoded by the PLEKHM3 gene. [1] PLEKHM3 is also known as DAPR (differentiation associated protein), and Pleckstrin Homology Domain Containing Family M, Member 1-like. [2]
PLEKHM3 is a valid, protein coding gene that is located on the minus strand of the q-arm of chromosome 2. Its exact location is 2q33.3. Its genomic mRNA length is 9,807 base pairs. Its genomic DNA length is 24.3 kilobases. It has 8 exons, 4 common splice forms.
PLEKHM3 contains a Plekstrin Homology domain and a C-terminal Rubicon Homology domain (RH domain). [3] Rubicon homology domains of other proteins (e.g., Rubicon and PLEKHM1), have been shown to mediate interaction with the small GTPase Rab7. [4] The RH domain domain is conserved in PLEKHM3 homologs as distant as the Nile Tilapia.
The molecular weight of PLEKHM3 87.2 kilodaltons. Its isoelectric point is 6.81. It is predicted to be localized primarily in the cytosol. [5] PLEKHM3 has orthologs in eukaryotes.
The function of PLEKHM3 is not characterized in any scientific database. It is thought to be associated with cell differentiation and is expressed at ubiquitously low levels in all cell types. The Pleckstrin Homology domains are involved with phosphate binding.
PLEKHM3 is thought to interact with a protein called GDAP1, which is responsible for differentiation in neuronal cell types and plays a role in the signal transduction pathway. This also supports the predicted role of PLEKHM3 in differentiation.
Phospholipase D (EC 3.1.4.4, lipophosphodiesterase II, lecithinase D, choline phosphatase, PLD; systematic name phosphatidylcholine phosphatidohydrolase) is an enzyme of the phospholipase superfamily that catalyses the following reaction
Guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) are proteins or protein domains that activate monomeric GTPases by stimulating the release of guanosine diphosphate (GDP) to allow binding of guanosine triphosphate (GTP). A variety of unrelated structural domains have been shown to exhibit guanine nucleotide exchange activity. Some GEFs can activate multiple GTPases while others are specific to a single GTPase.
GRB2-associated-binding protein 2 also known as GAB2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GAB2 gene.
ROCK1 is a protein serine/threonine kinase also known as rho-associated, coiled-coil-containing protein kinase 1. Other common names are ROKβ and P160ROCK. ROCK1 is a major downstream effecter of the small GTPase RhoA and is a regulator of the actomyosin cytoskeleton which promotes contractile force generation. ROCK1 plays a role in cancer and in particular cell motility, metastasis, and angiogenesis.
SH2B adapter protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SH2B2 gene.
Pleckstrin homology domain-containing family A member 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PLEKHA1 gene.
SH2B adapter protein 3 (SH2B3), also known as lymphocyte adapter protein (LNK), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SH2B3 gene on chromosome 12.
Oxysterol-binding protein-related protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the OSBPL1A gene.
Pleckstrin homology domain-containing family M member 1 also known as PLEKHM1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PLEKHM1 gene.
Pleckstrin homology domain containing, family G member 5 (PLEKHG5) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PLEKHG5 gene. Eight transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
Proline-rich 12 (PRR12) is a protein of unknown function encoded by the gene PRR12.
Protein FAM214A, also known as protein family with sequence similarity 214, A (FAM214A) is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the FAM214A gene. FAM214A is a gene with unknown function found at the q21.2-q21.3 locus on Chromosome 15 (human). The protein product of this gene has two conserved domains, one of unknown function (DUF4210) and another one called Chromosome_Seg. Although the function of the FAM214A protein is uncharacterized, both DUF4210 and Chromosome_Seg have been predicted to play a role in chromosome segregation during meiosis.
Ras and EF-hand domain-containing protein also known as Ras-related protein Rab-45 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RASEF gene.
EVI5L is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EVI5L gene. EVI5L is a member of the Ras superfamily of monomeric guanine nucleotide-binding (G) proteins, and functions as a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) with a broad specificity. Measurement of in vitro Rab-GAP activity has shown that EVI5L has significant Rab2A- and Rab10-GAP activity.
GRB2 associated binding protein 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GAB3 gene.
Pacer is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RUBCNL gene. Pacer has been shown to increase cellular autophagy through regulation of PI3KC3.
TMEM267 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TMEM267 gene. It is a possible oncogene which encodes a transmembrane protein. The function of TMEM267 most likely involves transportation of molecules from the cytosol, as the presence of motifs and domains involved in transportation were conserved in orthologs. TMEM267 has orthologs in many species and is expressed at highest levels in the thyroid.
SH3 Domain Binding Kinase Family Member 3 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SBK3 gene. SBK3 is a member of the serine/threonine protein kinase family. The SBK3 protein is known to exhibit transferase activity, especially phosphotransferase activity, and tyrosine kinase activity. It is well-conserved throughout mammalian organisms and has two paralogs: SBK1 and SBK2.
Rubicon is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RUBCN gene. Rubicon is one of the few known negative regulators of autophagy, a cellular process that degrades unnecessary or damaged cellular components. Rubicon is recruited to its sites of action through interaction with the small GTPase Rab7, and impairs the autophagosome-lysosome fusion step of autophagy through inhibition of PI3KC3-C2.
The Rubicon homology domain is an evolutionarily conserved protein domain of approximately 250 amino acids that mediates protein–protein interaction. RH domains are present in several human proteins involved in regulation of autophagy and endosomal trafficking. While not all RH domains have been characterized, those of human Rubicon and PLEKHM1 mediate interaction with the small GTPase Rab7, which is found on late endosomes and autophagosomes.
