CLONING

By searching for genes similar to LANCL1 (604155), followed by 3-prime RACE of a human cerebral cortex cDNA library, Mayer et al. (2001) cloned LANCL2. The deduced 450-amino acid protein contains a Walker A box and 7 repetitive hydrophobic regions that contain GxxG motifs. It shares 57.9% amino acid identity with LANCL1. Northern blot analysis detected high expression of 4.7- and 4.1-kb transcripts and weaker expression of 2.5- and 1.8-kb transcripts in brain. The 1.8-kb transcript was highly expressed in testis. All other tissues examined showed weak expression of the 4.1- and 1.8-kb transcripts. RNA dot blot analysis confirmed ubiquitous LANCL2 expression, with highest levels in amygdala, followed by temporal lobe and testis. Database analysis revealed conservation of LANCL proteins in bacteria, plant, and animal genomes. Using Western blot and immunohistochemical analyses, Park and James (2003) found that epitope-tagged LANCL2 distributed to the plasma membrane, cytosol, and nucleus of a transfected human uterine sarcoma cell line.

GENE FUNCTION

Using a human uterine sarcoma cell line and a multidrug-resistant derivative, Park and James (2003) found that ectopic expression of LANCL2 significantly reduced expression of the multidrug resistance gene MDR1 (ABCB1; 171050) and increased cell sensitivity toward the chemotherapeutic agent adriamycin. Reporter gene assays revealed that LANCL2 repressed transcription of the MDR1 promoter. Zhang et al. (2009) showed that LANCL2 exhibited Zn(2+)-dependent glutathione binding. LANCL2 bound the SH3 domain of mouse Eps8 (600206), but not other SH3-containing proteins. The interaction between LANCL2 and Eps8 did not require either of the PxxP motifs of LANCL2, but it was inhibited by glutathione.

MAPPING

Park and James (2003) stated that the LANCL2 gene maps within 200 bp of the EGFR gene (131550) on chromosome 7p11.2. ... More on the omim web site
