CLONING

By searching human EST databases with C. elegans Lrrc35, followed by PCR of a human testis cDNA library, Bartolini et al. (2005) cloned LRRC35, which they named E (TBCE; 604934)-like. The deduced 425-amino acid protein shares 23% amino acid identity with TBCE and contains a leucine-rich repeat followed by a ubiquitin-like motif. Northern blot analysis detected a 6.0-kb transcript with high expression in testis and much lower expression in heart, liver, spleen, and muscle.

GENE FUNCTION

Using in vitro folding assays, Bartolini et al. (2005) showed that, in contrast to TBCE, LRRC35 did not play a role in tubulin heterodimer assembly and had no effect on the tubulin (see 602529) GTPase activity of cofactor C (TBCC; 602971) and cofactor D (TBCD; 604649). Overexpression of LRRC35 caused microtubule destruction by disrupting tubulin heterodimers and targeting tubulin to the proteasome for degradation. Using siRNA, they showed that cells depleted of LRRC35 retained stable microtubules, mostly concentrated in the perinuclear region, and displayed a clustering of endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, and lysosomal organelle membranes in a condensed region of the cytoplasm. Bartolini et al. (2005) concluded that LRRC35 regulation of microtubule network stability affects vesicle trafficking mediated by microtubule-dependent molecular motors.

MAPPING

The International Radiation Hybrid Mapping Consortium mapped the LRRC35 gene to chromosome 11 (TMAP SHGC-57160). ... More on the omim web site
