Immediate early response 3-interacting protein 1 (IER3IP1)

The protein contains 82 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 8969 Da.

 

Regulator of endoplasmic reticulum secretion that acts as a key determinant of brain size (PubMed:33122427). Required for secretion of extracellular matrix proteins (PubMed:33122427). Required for correct brain development by depositing sufficient extracellular matrix proteins for tissue integrity and the proliferation of neural progenitors (PubMed:33122427). Acts as a regulator of the unfolded protein response (UPR) (By similarity). (updated: April 7, 2021)

Immediate-early response 3-interacting protein 1; ier3ip1

CLONING

By large-scale partial sequencing of a human liver cDNA library and EST database searching, Yiu et al. (2004) identified a novel cDNA encoding a deduced 82-amino acid protein, which they designated immediate-early response-3-interacting protein-1 (IER3IP1). IER3IP1 contains a putative G-patch domain and 2 transmembrane domains. Northern blot analysis revealed a single 1.5-kb transcript expressed at high levels in heart, skeletal muscle, and kidney, moderate levels in liver and brain, and low levels in placenta, lung, and peripheral blood leukocytes. Yiu et al. (2004) found that the IER3IP1 protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum through its C-terminal transmembrane domain.

GENE STRUCTURE

Yiu et al. (2004) demonstrated that the IER3IP1 gene contains 3 exons.

MAPPING

By somatic cell hybrid analysis, Yiu et al. (2004) mapped the IER3IP1 gene to chromosome 18. They refined the mapping to 18q12 by radiation hybrid analysis.

GENE FUNCTION

In cultured fibroblasts, Poulton et al. (2011) demonstrated that expression of IER3IP1 was increased approximately 1.5-fold by TNF-alpha (191160).

MOLECULAR GENETICS

By homozygosity mapping followed by candidate gene sequencing in 2 consanguineous families with microcephaly, epilepsy, and diabetes syndrome (MEDS; 614231), Poulton et al. (2011) identified different homozygous mutations in the IER3IP1 gene: V21G (609382.0001) and L78P (609382.0002). Poulton et al. (2011) concluded that the disorder was due to abnormally increased apoptosis. In 4 patients from 2 unrelated consanguineous Egyptian families with MEDS, Abdel-Salam et al. (2012) identified homozygosity for the L78P mutation in the IER3IP1 gene. The mutation, which was found by whole-exome sequencing, segregated with the disorder in the families. Functional studies of the variant were not performed. In a boy with MEDS, Shalev et al. (2014) identified compound heterozygous mutations in the IER3IP1 gene: V21G and c.79delT (609382.0003). The mutations, which were found by whole-exome sequencing, segregated with the disorder in the family. The V21G mutation was inherited from the unaffected father, who was of mixed Libyan-Tangier origin, whereas the c.79delT mutation was inherited from the unaffected mother, who was of mixed Ashkenazi Jewish/Spanish/French origin. Functional studies of the variants were not performed. ... More on the omim web site
