TIP41-like protein (TIPRL)

The protein contains 272 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 31444 Da.

 

May be a allosteric regulator of serine/threonine-protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A). Isoform 1 inhibits catalytic activity of the PP2A(D) core complex in vitro. The PP2A(C):TIPRL complex does not show phosphatase activity. Acts as negative regulator of serine/threonine-protein phosphatase 4 probably by inhibiting the formation of the active PPP4C:PPP4R2 complex; the function is proposed to implicate it in DNA damage response by promoting H2AX phosphorylated on Ser-140 (gamma-H2AX). May play a role in the regulation of ATM/ATR signaling pathway controlling DNA replication and repair. (updated: Feb. 26, 2020)

DESCRIPTION

TIPRL is an inhibitory regulator of protein phosphatase-2A (PP2A) (see PPP2CA; 176915), PP4 (see PPP4C; 602035), and PP6 (see PPP6C; 612725) (McConnell et al., 2007).

CLONING

By database analysis, Jacinto et al. (2001) identified human TIPRL as a homolog of yeast Tip41. TIPRL shares 35% amino acid identity with the yeast protein. McConnell et al. (2007) cloned human TIPRL, which they called TIP, from a T-cell lymphoma cDNA library. The predicted protein contains 272 amino acids. They also cloned a TIP splice variant that encodes a C-terminally truncated protein (TIP isoform-2) that shares the first 172 amino acids with TIP, but ends with 6 unique amino acids. Immunoblot analysis showed ubiquitous expression of a 33-kD TIP protein.

GENE FUNCTION

Using immunoprecipitation analysis, McConnell et al. (2007) found that, unlike yeast Tip41, human TIP did not interact with alpha-4 (IGBP1; 300139), the human homolog of yeast Tap42, in the presence of rapamycin. Instead, TIP interacted with the catalytic subunits of PP2A, PP4, and PP6 in a rapamycin-independent manner. TIP isoform-2 did not interact with PP2A, suggesting that the C terminus of TIP is important for PP2A binding. Incubation of PP2A with TIP, but not TIP isoform-2, resulted in dose-dependent inhibition of PP2A phosphatase activity. Cells in which TIP was depleted by small interfering RNA exhibited decreased phosphorylation of a 32-kD substrate of ATM (607585)/ATR (601215) kinases. McConnell et al. (2007) concluded that TIP is an inhibitory regulator of PP2A and that the TIP/PP2A complex has a role within the ATM/ATR signaling pathway controlling DNA replication and repair.

GENE STRUCTURE

McConnell et al. (2007) determined that the TIPRL gene contains 7 exons. Exons 1 through 4, 6, and 7 encode TIP, and exons 1 through 5 encode TIP isoform-2.

MAPPING

By genomic sequence analysis, McConnell et al. (2007) mapped the TIPRL gene to chromosome 1q23.2. ... More on the omim web site
