Endoplasmic reticulum metallopeptidase 1; ermp1
Fxna, rat, homolog of
Kiaa1815

CLONING

By sequencing clones obtained from a size-fractionated fetal brain cDNA library, Nagase et al. (2001) cloned a novel human cDNA, which they designated KIAA1815. By differential display in the neonatal rat ovary, Garcia-Rudaz et al. (2007) identified a novel cDNA, termed Fxna (Felix-ina), expressed during folliculogenesis. Northern blot analysis detected wide expression of Fxna in rat tissues, with highest levels in ovary, kidney, hypothalamus, and hippocampus. Sequence analysis showed that Fxna is a member of the metallopeptidase family M28. It contains at least 8 transmembrane domains near the C terminus, suggesting that it is a membrane protein, and a peptidase domain near the N terminus. Transfection experiments in COS-7 cells localized Fxna to the endoplasmic reticulum.

GENE FUNCTION

By in situ analysis of rat ovaries collected 48 hours after birth, Garcia-Rudaz et al. (2007) showed that Fxna was expressed in granulosa cells surrounding the oocytes but not in the oocytes themselves. Down-regulation of the gene with a lentiviral siRNA disrupted both the rate of follicle assembly and the initiation of follicle growth. There was a widespread loss of somatic germ cell organization in which pregranulosa cells encircled more than one oocyte and many oocytes were not surrounded by somatic cells.

MAPPING

The International Radiation Hybrid Mapping Consortium mapped the ERMP1 gene to chromosome 9 (TMAP WI-15054). Scott (2007) mapped the ERMP1 gene to chromosome 9p24 based on an alignment of the ERMP1 sequence (GenBank GENBANK AK093217) with the genomic sequence (build 36.2). ... More on the omim web site
