Function

ZG16 enables protein transport, protein trafficking, carbohydrate binding, and peptidoglycan binding. [8] Zymogen Granule Protein 16 also acts as a linker molecule between the secretory proteins in the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and the zymogen granule membrane (ZGM). The protein is located in the Golgi lumen and collagen-containing extracellular matrix. ZG16 is a protein that is highly selective for cytoplasmic expression in mucin-producing goblet cells, [9] which are cells that are located in the gastrointestinal tract. These cells produce mucus to protect mucous membranes that line the surface of our internal organs. [10] The protein is mainly expressed in the human colon, endometrium, and spleen. Small amounts of ZG16 gene expression are also found in the liver and bone marrow. [11]

Structure

The gene length is about 167 amino acids long. The protein existence level is PE1, indicating that the protein is a marker for exocrine pancreatic function. The ligand that ZG16 is able to bind is Lectin. The basal isoelectric point of the protein is 9.43. [8]

The protein mass (Da) is different for the Human ZG16 protein, Mouse ZG16 protein, and the Rat ZG16 Protein.

Interaction with gram-positive bacteria

Cells in our colon obtain bacteria that reside in a mutualistic relationship with our host cells to prevent harmful bacteria from causing inflammation. [13] Our colon obtains two mucus layers: the impenetrable mucus (IM) and penetrable mucus (PM). [13] The IM is classified as a MUC2 mucin polymeric network since it works to build intestinal mucus. [14] The IM is less penetrable than the PM. The ZG16 protein works with the MUC2 network to keep Gram-positive bacteria away from the epithelial cells in the colon. The absence of ZG16 will allow Gram-positive bacteria to enter the epithelial cells and contribute to the production of cancerous cells in the colon. ZG16 and Gram-positive bacteria reside in symbiosis to prevent penetration of harmful Gram-positive bacteria, allowing for bacterial limitation in epithelial cells of the colon. [13]

Associated diseases

ZG16 is associated with these following diseases: Cancer, Colitis, Colonic disease, Episodic Kinesigenic Dyskinesia 1, Crohn's Disease, EEC Syndrome, Spondylocostal Dysostosis, Autoimmune Disease, Benign Familial Infantile Epilepsy, Schizophrenia 3, and Cystic Fibrosis. [15]

EEC syndrome

Ectrodactyly–ectodermal dysplasia–cleft syndrome (EEC syndrome) is considered to be an autosomal dominant disease. The amount of individuals with this disease is 1 in 90,000 general population. The rare disease can cause abnormalities of the eyes, urinary tract, and hair glands. The physical features of individuals with this disease include missing or irregular fingers and toes, cleft lip, lobster claw hand/foot, carious teeth, thick eyebrows, and distinguishable facial structures. All of these symptoms can be seen individually or all together. [16] There are two types of EEC syndrome: EEC type 3 (EEC3) and EEC type 1 (EEC1). Mutations present on protein coding regions of the ZG16 gene lead to EEC syndrome. [17] Treatment includes assistance from a pedodontics, pediatrician, oral and plastic surgeon, ophthalmologist, and renal specialist. [18]

Spondylocostal dysostosis, which is a sub-class of Jarcho-Levin Syndrome, [20] is caused by abnormal development of spinal bones which leads to segmentation defects on the spinal vertebrae and ribs. The disease is autosomal recessive and can be characterized by these physical features: short trunk in proportion to height, short neck, and non-progressive mild scoliosis. Some individuals may experience respiratory distress as well. Spondylocostal dysostosis 5 is caused by mutations present in the ZG16 gene. [21] These mutations are specifically caused by 16p11.2 proximal deletion syndrome, which occurs when there is a deletion of the p11.2 region of chromosome 16. [22] Treatment for Spondylocostal Dysostosis 5 includes spinal surgery, external bracing with the use of a prosthetic titanium rib, growing rods, and respiratory support. [23]

Colorectal Cancer

ZG16 can serve as a biomarker for diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). CRC is a type of cancer where cells in the colon or rectum grow uncontrollably, causing issues to passageways in the anus. [24] CRC is considered to be the third most common cancer diagnosed around the world. [25] ZG16 is one of the most significantly down-regulated genes in CRC tissues. [19] PD-L1 is a type of transmembrane protein that is expressed on tumor-infiltrating cells, such as B or T-cells. [26] Its main function in CRC is to suppress antigen specific T-cells in the lymph nodes. Since PD-L1 proteins are regulated by N-glycosylation, the ZG16 works to bind directly to glycosylated PD-L1 proteins through its lectin domain. This allows the ZG16 protein to promote T-cell activity to fight cancerous colon cells. [27]

To learn more about the association between CRC and ZG16, a RT-PCR was performed on tumor and normal tissue samples of 23 CRC patients. Results showed a suppressed response of the ZG16 gene in the tissue samples of the colon, rectum, and small intestine. The gene was lost in all CRC tissue samples and was suppressed from normal to adenoma to carcinoma, indicating that the gene plays an important role in initiation of CRC. [19]

(HES7) or bHLHb37 is protein coding mammalian gene found on chromosome 17 in humans. HES7 is a member of the Hairy and Enhancer of Split families of Basic helix-loop-helix proteins. The gene product is a transcription factor and is expressed cyclically in the presomitic mesoderm as part of the Notch signalling pathway. HES7 is involved in the segmentation of somites from the presomitic mesoderm in vertebrates. The HES7 gene is self-regulated by a negative feedback loop in which the gene product can bind to its own promoter. This causes the gene to be expressed in an oscillatory manner. The HES7 protein also represses expression of Lunatic Fringe (LFNG) thereby both directly and indirectly regulating the Notch signalling pathway. Mutations in HES7 can result in deformities of the spine, ribs and heart. Spondylocostal dysostosis is a common disease caused by mutations in the HES7 gene. The inheritance pattern of Spondylocostal dysostosis is autosomal recessive.
