Biology:Transmembrane protein 217

From HandWiki

Transmembrane Protein 217 is a protein encoded by the gene TMEM217. TMEM217 has been found to have expression correlated with the lymphatic system and endothelial tissues and has been predicted to have a function linked to the cytoskeleton.[1][2][3]

Gene

TMEM217 is located on the chromosome 6 minus strand at 6p21.2.[4] The gene consists of 46,857 base pairs and is flanked by TBC1D22B (TBC1 Domain Family Member 22B) and PIM1.[4][5] It was previously known as C6orf128 (Chromosome 6 open reading frame 128).[4]

mRNA

TMEM217 has three common isoforms formed from the alternative splicing of three exons. Isoform 1 translates for the longest polypeptide, consisting of 1590 nucleotides.[6] The 5’ un-translated region of isoform 1 is relatively short and is predicted to fold into several stem loop domains within conserved areas of the un-translated region.[7]

Protein

Primary Protein Sequence

The longest polypeptide of transmembrane protein 217 consists of 229 amino acids.[8] This protein isoform has a predicted weight of 26.6 kDa and isoelectric point at a pH of 9.3.[9][10] It is notably rich in isoleucine and phenylalanine, and deficient in alanine, aspartate, and proline compared to other proteins.[11] Transmembrane protein 217 contains the domain of unknown function, DUF4534, between amino acids 11-171.[12]

Secondary Structure

Transmembrane protein 217 is predicted to have four transmembrane domains.[8][13] These transmembrane domains consist primarily of uncharged amino acids in predicted alpha helices.[11][14] The N-terminus and C-terminus of the protein are predicted to be facing the cytosol with the C-terminus containing a long predicted coiled tail extending from the final transmembrane domain.[13]

Post-Translational Modifications

There are several predicted phosphorylation and glycosylation sites on transmembrane protein 217 in highly conserved parts of the protein, where the phosphorylation sites are located primarily on the C-terminal tail.[15][16][17] There are also two highly conserved cysteine residues, which have the potential to form a disulfide bond in the extracellular space between the first and second transmembrane domains.

The image depicts a conceptual diagram of transmembrane protein 217. The protein is given from N-terminus to C-terminus with predicted cellular, transmembrane and extracellular domains present (colored blue, grey, and orange respectively). The most highly conserved predicted post-translational modifications are provided as well. The following predicted post-translational modifications are provided: phosphorylation sites, disulfide bond, and a C-linked mannosylation.

Expression

TMEM217 is not ubiquitously expressed. The gene tends to have expression correlated to lymphatic system, vascular/arterial endothelial tissue, and notable expression in the bladder based on expression profiles and microarray analysis.[1][2] Other tissues that have been shown to express TMEM217 include: connective tissues, the liver, mammary glands, the testis, and the cervix.[1] Co-expression analyses have found that TMEM217 was up-regulated in response to mechanical stretch in dermal fibroblast cells and in response to the resveratrol derivative, DMU-212, in vascular endothelial tissues.[3][18]

Function

No known function has been attributed to TMEM217, however a co-expression analysis in dermal fibroblasts has predicted the protein to have a potential association with the cytoskeleton.[3]

Clinical Significance

Single nucleotide polymorphisms in TMEM217 have been linked to Alzheimer’s disease and diabetic retinopathy.[19][20] TMEM217 was also found to have similar expression patterns as TRPM2, a biomarker linked to breast carcinoma.[21] Expression profiles have also linked elevated TMEM217 expression to bladder cancer and lymphoma.[1]

Homology

TMEM217 was found to have orthologs in organisms as early as the scaled fish, which diverged 420 million years ago.[22] Although found in organisms as early as fish and reptiles, TMEM217 has no known orthologs in any bird species.[23][24]

TMEM217 has no known paralogs.
