KLHL28

[edit]
Sequential rainbow 3D tertiary protein structure of human KLHL28 modeled using NCBI Structure.[5]

Kelch-like Homolog 28 (KLHL28) is a protein that is encoded by the KLHL28 gene in humans. It is a member of the Kelch-like gene family, which is comprised of 42 different genes.[6] Aberrant activation of KLHL28 results in increased likelihood of hypertension, hyperkalemia, and cancer.[7] The KLHL28 gene, also known as BTBD5, has orthologs in vertebrates and some marine invertebrates, and has been well-conserved over evolutionary timescales.

Gene

[edit]

The KLHL28 gene is located on the negative strand of human Chromosome 14 (14q21.2) and spans 7019 base pairs in its complete isoform (isoform 1).[8]

Transcription Factors

[edit]

Hundreds of transcription factors are predicted to bind to the promoter region. Many of the highly scored transcription factors from the JASPAR database via the University of California, Santa Cruz Genome Browser are listed in the table below.[9]

Expression

[edit]

KLHL28 is ubiquitously expressed under normal physiological conditions in humans and has been found not to be monallelically expressed.[10] DNA microarray data also suggests that gene expression of KLHL28 is elevated in the brain and heart.[11]

Under hypoxic conditions, DNA microarray data illustrated increased expression of KLHL28.[12] Further, in a DNA microarray study of small-cell lung cancer, KLHL28 was expressed at significantly higher levels than the control.[13] These data indicate that the gene's transcription is impacted by the tumor microenvironment, which is typically not well-vascularized and often hypoxic.

Mutations

[edit]

Missense single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been identified in both the coding and noncoding regions of the gene.[14][15] The SNPs with the potential for most clinical significance are those affecting the composition of the KLHL28 protein, specifically within Kelch motif 1 (rs117295933, C>A / C>G / C>T) and motif 3 (rs35352691, T>G).

mRNA and Transcriptional Variants

[edit]
Transcript variants and protein isoforms of the KLHL28 gene in Homo sapiens. Blue boxes indicate the exon is present in the transcript variant, while red boxes indicate the exon is absent.

There are a total of seven transcriptional variants: two isoforms and five spliced transcript variants, all of which are based on the longest transcript, isoform 1. Isoform 1 contains five exons, and all transcriptional variants contain at least exon 2. The six conserved Kelch motifs in the KLHL28 protein are found through the end of exon 2 through exon 5.

A) Zoomed-out view of the entire 5’ UTR. B) An enhanced image of the UTR start and end (ATG in green) and conserved stem-loop structures (red boxes).

5' Untranslated Region

[edit]

The 5' untranslated region (5' UTR) of KLHL28 is well-conserved amongst orthologs, similar to the protein sequence. Demonstrating this conservation, the transcription factor ZNF263 was conserved after a five-member mammalian multiple sequence alignment (MSA) using the orthologs golden snub-nosed monkey, green monkey, southern pig-tailed macaque, and thirteen-lined ground squirrel.

The predicted secondary mRNA structure for the human KLHL28 3’ untranslated region (UTR) created using RNAstructure.[17] The folding free energy of this structure is -748.2 kcal/mol. A) Zoomed-out view of the entire 3' UTR. B) An enhanced image of the 3’ UTR start. C) An enhanced image of the polyA site (blue box). D) An enhanced image of a section of stem-loops strongly conserved across simulated structural models.

3' Untranslated Region

[edit]

A four-member MSA was run for the 3' UTR and found that, like the 5' UTR, it was strongly conserved across primate orthologs, with the same orthologs as in the 5' UTR section, minus the thirteen-lined ground squirrel.

RNA Binding Protein Interactions

[edit]

An analysis of the miRNA binding capacity of the KLHL28 isoform 1 transcript returned with only one miRNA target that was found on the 3' UTR and conserved through mammals.[18] The miRNA, hsa-miR-182-5p, has been associated with tumorigenesis, specifically in lung tissue.[19]

RNA binding protein binding capacity for the 3' UTR of human KLHL28 was assessed and returned with 12 repeats of ELAVL2, 2 of SNRPA, 3 of ZFP36, and 1 of pum.[20] Based on these highly probable predicted RNA binding proteins, KLHL28 expression at the RNA level is predicted to be connected to neural development during embryogenesis and differentiation.[21][22][23][24]

Amino Acid Composition

[edit]

The KLHL28 gene encodes the KLHL28 protein which is 585 amino acids long and has a molecular weight of 65.8kDa.[8] The theoretical isoelectric point (Ip) was predicted to be 5.90 based on the amino acid composition.[26]

Comparing amino acid composition of the KLHL28 isoform 1 protein and protein domains between Homo sapiens orthologs using statistical analysis of protein sequences (SAPS).[27] Green indicates the amino acid is rich in the protein/domain, while red indicates it is poor. Color intensity corresponds to how rich/poor, with - and + being the lightest and -- and ++ being darkest.

An analysis of the whole protein indicated that it is tyrosine-rich (5.3%); however, amino acids at the domain level were expressed differently.[28] The broad-complex, tramtrack, and bric-á-brac (BTB) and BACK domains were extremely glycine-poor (2.4%) and also histidine-rich (4.7%). On the other hand, the Kelch domains were rich in both valine (9.7%) and tyrosine (5.6%).

Protein Domains

[edit]

The protein can be broken down into eight domains: the Broad-complex, Tramtrack, and Bric-á-brac (BTB) domain (amino acids 31-148); the BACK domain (amino acids 151-253); and Kelch domains 1 (amino acids 298-345), 2 (amino acids 346-400), 3 (amino acids 401-444), 4 (amino acids 445-493), 5 (amino acids 494-541), 6 (amino acids 542-585). The high predicted isoelectric point of Kelch domain 3 indicates it may have an important role in forming the Cullin3-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase complex.

Tertiary Structure

[edit]

The BTB and BACK domains are predicted with high confidence to mostly fold into alpha helices. Meanwhile, the Kelch domains in the protein form into beta sheets, which are then expected to complex into a beta barrel.[32] No hydrophobic regions were identified on the protein, indicating that it is most likely not cell or organelle membrane-localized.

Protein Localization

[edit]

KLHL28 protein is soluble, localized in the cytoplasm, and is predicted to contain a nuclear localization signal.[33][34]

Function

[edit]

Based on the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network below, the KLHL28 protein is predicted to play a critical role in the formation and function of the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex involved in protein degradation and recycling.[35]

Protein-Protein Interaction Network

[edit]

The majority of identified proteins found to interact with the KLHL28 protein in humans are involved in the E3 ubiquitin ligase structure. The table below illustrates proteins interacting with human KLHL28 protein and their detection methods based on a consensus of high-throughput screening data reported from STRING, BioGRID, MINT, and IntAct databases.[36][37][38][39]

Evolution

[edit]

Based on the ortholog data in the table below, the KLHL28 gene first appeared in some marine invertebrates nearly 700 million years ago. The gene is found in some mollusks, cnidarians, and echinoderms, but not in arthropods nor cephalopods. Other members of the gene family (paralogs of KLHL28, such as KLHL20) have been identified in plants, bacteria, and archaea, indicating that the Kelch-like homologs are highly conserved across evolutionary time and likely serve an important role.

Clinical Significance

[edit]

Based on the function of its encoded protein in protein breakdown and recycling, the KLHL28 gene has a strong clinical significance. Furthermore, the expression data in hypoxic and cancerous conditions suggests the Cullin3-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase complex is involved in protein homeostasis, which can be sabotaged in cancerous cells.[49] Consequently, the KLHL28 gene and its interaction network represent novel targets for gene therapy cancer treatments.
