RTP3 (gene)

Last updated

RTP3 (receptor transporter protein 3) is a gene located on chromosome 3 in humans that encodes the RTP3 protein. [1] Its expression is liver-restricted. [2]

Contents

Gene

Aliases for RTP3 in Homo sapiens include LTM1, TMEM7, and Z3CXXC3. [1] It is located at locus 3p21.31 and contains two exons. It spans a total of 2,974 base pairs, between bases 46497976 and 46500950 on chromosome 3.[ citation needed ]

Protein

There is only one known protein isoform in humans, which is 232 amino acids long and has a predicted molecular weight of 26.9 kDa. [3] It has a predicted isoelectric point of 9. [4] The protein contains a transmembrane domain near the C-terminus. The protein is rich in cysteine and tryptophan and is poor in aspartic acid. [5]

Gene regulation

Regulation of the RTP3 gene appears to be tissue-specific, as it is expressed almost exclusively in the liver, with low levels of expression in the testes, thyroid, kidney, and adrenal gland. [1] [6]

There are some poorly-conserved binding sites for miRNA molecules in the 3' untranslated region of the gene. [7] One of these is miRNA-29, which has been found to affect progression of liver tumors in mouse models. [8]

Homologs

Orthologs

Many animal species contain orthologs of the RTP3 gene, including various species of mammals, rodents, and birds. [9]

Paralogs

RTP3 has several paralogs in humans, including other members of the RTP family. [9]

Interacting proteins

While there is experimental evidence RTP3 may potentially be able to interact with proteins involved in olfactory signaling, as it contains shared homology with other members of the RTP family that do so, it is unlikely that it contributes greatly to olfactory signaling pathways due to its expression being almost exclusive to the liver. [10] [11]

Clinical significance

The RTP3 gene has been found to be downregulated in liver carcinomas. [12] In cell lines that do not contain p53, a tumor suppressor protein, RTP3 has found to be more highly expressed than in cell lines that do contain the protein. [13]

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the promoter and intron of the RTP3 gene have been associated with increased risk of hip fracture, suggesting possible involvement of the gene in the TGF-β signaling pathway. [11]

In the liver, TREM2 is expressed by several cell types, including macrophages, that respond to injury. In the intestine, TREM2 is expressed by myeloid-derived dendritic cells and macrophage. TREM2 is overexpressed in many tumor types and has anti-inflammatory activities. It might therefore be a good therapeutic target.

Solute carrier family 46 member 3 (SLC46A3) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC46A3 gene. Also referred to as FKSG16, the protein belongs to the major facilitator superfamily (MFS) and SLC46A family. Most commonly found in the plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum (ER), SLC46A3 is a multi-pass membrane protein with 11 α-helical transmembrane domains. It is mainly involved in the transport of small molecules across the membrane through the substrate translocation pores featured in the MFS domain. The protein is associated with breast and prostate cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), papilloma, glioma, obesity, and SARS-CoV. Based on the differential expression of SLC46A3 in antibody-drug conjugate (ADC)-resistant cells and certain cancer cells, current research is focused on the potential of SLC46A3 as a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for cancer. While protein abundance is relatively low in humans, high expression has been detected particularly in the liver, small intestine, and kidney.

Membrane progesterone receptors (mPRs) are a group of cell surface receptors and membrane steroid receptors belonging to the progestin and adipoQ receptor (PAQR) family which bind the endogenous progestogen and neurosteroid progesterone, as well as the neurosteroid allopregnanolone. Unlike the progesterone receptor (PR), a nuclear receptor which mediates its effects via genomic mechanisms, mPRs are cell surface receptors which rapidly alter cell signaling via modulation of intracellular signaling cascades. The mPRs mediate important physiological functions in male and female reproductive tracts, liver, neuroendocrine tissues, and the immune system as well as in breast and ovarian cancer.

OCC-1 is a protein, which in humans is encoded by the gene C12orf75. The gene is approximately 40,882 bp long and encodes 63 amino acids. OCC-1 is ubiquitously expressed throughout the human body. OCC-1 has shown to be overexpressed in various colon carcinomas. Novel splice variant of this gene was also detected in various human cancer types; in addition to encoding a novel smaller protein, OCC-1 gene produces a non-protein coding RNA splice variant lncRNA.

Melanoma inhibitory activity protein 3 (MIA3), also known as transport and Golgi organization protein 1 (TANGO1), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MIA3 gene on chromosome 1. It is ubiquitously expressed in many tissues and cell types. MIA3 localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) exit site, where it binds bulky cargo molecules such as collagens and creates mega transport carriers for the export of cargoes from the ER. This function suggests that it plays a role in assembly of extracellular matrix (ECM) and bone formation. MIA3 has been demonstrated to contribute to both tumor suppression and progression. The MIA3 gene also contains one of 27 loci associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease.. A TANGO1 like protein called TALI is expressed in liver and intestine and shown to be required for the export of bulky very Low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and chylomicrons. TANGO1 and TALI assemble into rings around COPII coats and this function is necessary for export of bulky cargoes. The discovery of TANGO1 and understanding its function has revealed that cargo export from the ER is not be vesicles but involves transient tunnels between the ER exit site and the next compartment of the secretory pathway. Biallelic Mutations in TANGO1 cause syndrome disease and complete loss of TANGO1 leads of defects in bone mineralization. These findings highlight the significance of TANGO1 in building and ER exit site, controlling the quantities and quality of cargo exported, which is necessary for life.

ADAMTS7 has been associated with cancer and arthritis in multiple tissue types. The ADAMTS7 gene also contains one of 27 SNPs associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease.

Chromosome 1 open reading frame 198 (C1orf198) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the C1orf198 gene. This particular gene does not have any paralogs in Homo sapiens, but many orthologs have been found throughout the Eukarya domain. C1orf198 has high levels of expression in all tissues throughout the human body, but is most highly expressed in lung, brain, and spinal cord tissues. Its function is most likely involved in lung development and hypoxia-associated events in the mitochondria, which are major consumers of oxygen in cells and are severely affected by decreases in available cellular oxygen.

In terms of conserved domains, the CLIP4 gene contains primarily ankyrin repeats and the eponymous CAP-Gly domains. The structure of the CLIP4 protein is largely made up of coil, with alpha helices dominating the rest of the protein. CLIP4 mRNA expression occurs largely in the adrenal cortex and atrioventricular node. The literature encompassing CLIP4's conserved domains and paralogs points toward microtubule regulation as a possible function of CLIP4.
