Ankyrin repeat domain-containing protein 13A (ANKRD13A)

The protein contains 590 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 67619 Da.

 

Ubiquitin-binding protein that specifically recognizes and binds 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitin. Does not bind 'Lys-48'-linked ubiquitin. Positively regulates the internalization of ligand-activated EGFR by binding to the Ub moiety of ubiquitinated EGFR at the cell membrane. (updated: March 4, 2015)

Ankyrin repeat domain-containing protein 13a; ankrd13a

DESCRIPTION

Some members of the ANKRD13 family, such as ANKRD13A, have a role in regulating internalization of cell surface proteins (Tanno et al., 2012).

CLONING

Tanno et al. (2012) cloned ANKRD13A from a human brain cDNA library. The deduced 590-amino acid protein contains 3 N-terminal ankyrin repeats and 4 putative C-terminal ubiquitin-interacting motifs. Immunofluorescence analysis of HeLa cells revealed that ANKRD13A localized to the plasma membrane and late endosomes.

GENE FUNCTION

Monoubiquitination and/or lys63-linked polyubiquitin chains serve as endocytosis signals that are tagged to a variety of cell surface integral membrane proteins. Proteins of the endocytic machinery are also regulated by their own ubiquitination. Using immunoprecipitation and Western blot analysis of EGF (131530)-stimulated HeLa cells, Tanno et al. (2012) showed that ANKRD13A, ANKRD13B (615124), and ANKRD13D (615126), but not ANKRD13C (615125), bound to the ubiquitinated EGF receptor (EGFR; 131550). Tanno et al. (2012) found that ANKRD13A was itself monoubiquitinated, and this ubiquitination interfered with interaction between ANKRD13A and ubiquitinated EGFR. Both ubiquitination of ANKRD13A and binding of ANKRD13A to EGFR required the ubiquitin-interacting motifs of ANKRD13A. Protein binding assays revealed that ANKRD13A, ANKRD13B, and ANKRD13D bound to lys63-linked, but not lys48-linked, polyubiquitin chains. Binding affinity was higher with ubiquitin chain lengths between 4 and 7 units, with lower or no affinity for shorter ubiquitin chain lengths. Overexpression of ANKRD13A, ANKRD13B, and ANKRD13B delayed, but did not completely inhibit, ligand-induced EGFR internalization. ANKRD13 proteins had no effect on EGFR degradation. Overexpression of ANKRD13A also suppressed uptake of nonubiquitinated cargo, such as transferrin receptor (TFRC; 190010).

MAPPING

Hartz (2013) mapped the ANKRD13A gene to chromosome 12q24.11 based on an alignment of the ANKRD13A sequence (GenBank GENBANK AF064604) with the genomic sequence (GRCh37). ... More on the omim web site
