There are two isoforms of the gene transcript that exist by alternative splicing, and one gene precursor.[5]

FAM178B Isoforms from Splice Variation:

SLF2 (FAM178A) is an important paralog of FAM178B. SLF2 is predicted to play a role in the DNA damage response (DDR) pathway by regulating post-replication repair of UV-damaged DNA, and genomic stability maintenance.[7]

Protein structure

edit

The molecular weight of the protein is 76.5 kilodaltons,[8] and the isoelectric point is 5.47.The gene has 6 transcript splice variants.[9] The protein has been phenotypically associated with bipolar disease due to its locus,[10] as well as body mass index (BMI), and cell adhesion.[11] A proposed structure for the protein can be found in the images for proposed structures.[12] The secondary structure for the FAM178B protein is predicted to be primarily alpha helices.[13] The tertiary structure of the protein may assume a coiled coil structure.[13]

 

Expression

edit

FAM178B is most highly expressed in the skeletal muscle and brain tissues[14].The structure in which it is highly concentrated is in the corpus callosum of the brain.[14] Additionally, it is of high levels in the trigeminal nerve and spinal cord. Further, there is also high concentrations of the gene found near the heart, testes and olfactory regions.

According to the Allen Brain Atlas,[15] the olfactory regions, and the hippocampus of the mouse brain showed the greatest expressions of the gene when tested experimentally.

 

DNA Level Regulation

edit

The proposed promoter region of FAM178B protein is below.[16] A table of relevant transcription factor binding sites that correspond to the sequence and colors highlighted in the promoter region is also included.


 

 

The promoter region of FAM178B is highly conserved across its most related orthologs, and is almost identical across the human, gorilla, chimp, bonobo and gibbon organisms.[17]


Protein Level Regulation

Below is a table that shows the protein modifications that could be potentially made to FAM178B, and the potential effects of these modifications on the protein itself:.[18]


Homology and Evolution

edit

An important paralog of the gene is SLF2, which plays a role in the DNA damage response (DDR) pathway by regulating post replication repair of UV-damaged DNA. It also helps maintain genomic stability.[19] There are 74 known orthologs of the protein, and it can be traced back as far back as crustaceans.[5] FAM178B is heavily found in both vertebrates and invertebrates. The ortholog space for the protein FAM178B is quite large as it can be traced back 794 millions of years ago (mya) to mollusks with the apple snail, and Pacific Oyster. There are 134 known orthologs of FAM178B. However, the protein is not found in arthropods, or insects, which is interesting because those organisms also existed in that time period meaning that it was conserved across some taxa, but not others. The protein is most readily found in primates, and other non-primate mammals. The protein is also conserved across reptiles, some bony fish, and cartilaginous fish, and birds.

Below is a table illustrating some of the orthologs for FAM178B using BLAST[20] and BLAT.[21]

Interacting Proteins

edit

There are 2 proteins that have high predicted values of interaction with FAM178B: LRSAM 1 and ZNF598.[23] LRSAM1[24] is also known as leucine rich repeat and sterile alpha motif protein 1. The value for the protein is .29 and the evidence is physical from hybrid pooling approaches. LRSAM1 was previously known as Tsg-associated ligase and is located on the LRSAM1 gene. Mutations have been associated with periphery neuropathy, and sensory disorders. It is highly expressed in the spinal cord, as is FAM178B. There is currently no known structure for the protein. ZNF598 is a zinc finger protein and the value is .13. It plays a key role in ribosome quality control. The predicted structures are below for both proteins.
