Biology:DMAC1

From HandWiki

Distal membrane-arm assembly complex protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DMAC1 gene (previously TMEM261).[1] TMEM261 is also known as C9ORF123 and DMAC1, Chromosome 9 Open Reading Frame 123 and Transmembrane Protein C9orf123[2] and Distal membrane-arm assembly complex protein 1.[3]

Gene features

TMEM261 is located at 9p24.1, its length is 91,891 base pairs (bp) on the reverse strand.[2] Its neighbouring gene is PTPRD located at 9p23-p24.3 also on the reverse strand and encodes protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type delta.[1][2] TMEM261 has 2 exons and 1 intron, and 6 primary transcript variants; the largest mRNA transcript variant consisting of 742bp with a protein 129 amino acids (aa) in length and 13,500 daltons (Da) in size, and the smallest coding transcript variant being 381bp with a protein 69aa long and 6,100 Da in size.[4][5]

Protein features

TMEM261 is a protein consisting out of 112 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 11.8 kDa.[6] The isoelectric point is predicted to be 10.2,[7] whilst its posttranslational modification value is 9.9.[5]

Structure

Some proteins found to interact with TMEM261

TMEM261 contains a domain of unknown function, DUF4536 (pfam15055), predicted as a helical membrane spanning domain about 45aa (Cys 47- Ser 92) in length with no known domain relationships.[8][9] Two further transmembrane helical domains are predicted of lengths 18aa (Val 52-Ala 69) and 23aa (Pro 81-Ala 102]).[10][11] There is also a low complexity region spanning 25aa (Thr 14-Ala 39).[12] The tertiary structure for TMEM261 has not yet been determined. However, its protein secondary structure is mostly composed of coiled-coil regions with beta strands and alpha helices found within the transmembrane and domain of unknown function regions. The N-terminal region of TMEM261 is composed of a disordered region[13][14] which contains the low complexity region[12] that is not highly conserved amongst orthologues.[15][16]

Modifications

A N-myristoylation domain is shown to be present in most TMEM261 protein variants.[5] Post-translational modifications include myristoylation of the N-terminal Glycine residue (Gly2)[5][17] of the TMEM261 protein as well as phosphorylation of Threonine 31.[18]

Interactions

Proteins shown to interact with TMEM261 include NAAA (protein-protein interaction), QTRT1 (RNA-protein interaction),ZC4H2(DNA-protein interaction)[19] and ZNF454(DNA-protein interaction).[20][21] It has also shown to interact with APP(protein-protein interaction),[22] ARHGEF38(protein-protein interaction)[23] and HNRNPD(RNA-protein interaction).[24][25]

Tissue expression of TMEM261 showing tissue enriched gene (TEG) expression [26]

Additional transcription factor binding sites (DNA-protein interaction) predicted include one binding site for MEF2C a monocyte-specific enhancement factor that is involved in muscle-cell regulation particularly in the cardiovascular system[2][27] and two binding sites for GATA1 which is a globin transcription factor 1 involved in erythroblast development regulation.[28][29][30]

Expression

TMEM261 shows ubiquitous expression in humans and is detected in almost all tissue types.[31][32] It shows tissue-enriched gene (TEG) expression when compared to housekeeping gene (HKG) expression.[26] Its highest expression is seen in the heart (overall relative expression 94%) particularly in heart fibroblast cells, thymus (overall relative expression 90%), and thyroid (overall relative expression 93%) particularly in thyroid glandular cells.[26][31] Staining intensity of cancer cells showed intermediate to high expression in breast, colorectal, ovarian, skin, urothelial, head and neck cells.[31]

Function

Currently the function for TMEM261 is unknown.[33] However, gene amplification and rearrangements of its locus have been associated with various cancers including colorectal cancer,[34] breast cancer[33] and lymphomas.[35][36]

Evolution

Orthologues

The orthologues and homologues of TMEM261 are limited to vertebrates, its oldest homologue dates to that of the cartilaginous fishes[37] which diverged from Homo sapiens 462.5 million years ago.[38] The protein primary structure of TMEM261 shows higher overall conservation in mammals, however high conservation of the domain of unknown function (DUF4536) to the C-terminus region is seen in all orthologues, including distant homologues. The protein structure of TMEM261 shows conservation across most orthologues.[15][16]
