CLONING

Dermal papilla cells are mesenchymal cells located at the bottom of hair follicles. In culture, they initially resemble fibroblasts, but then aggregate into clumps of overlapping cells with growth. Using suppression subtractive hybridization to identify genes expressed only in aggregating normal human dermal papilla cells in culture, followed by 5-prime and 3-prime RACE, Song et al. (2005) cloned TMA7, which they called HSPC016. The deduced protein contains 64 amino acids. Northern blot and RT-PCR analyses confirmed high HSPC016 expression in aggregative dermal papilla cells. EST database analysis revealed widespread HSPC016 expression, with highest expression in posterior tongue, anterior rhombomeres, skin, bone marrow, first pharyngeal arch, and several tumors. Song et al. (2005) identified orthologs of HSPC016 in Drosophila, C. elegans, yeast, fungi, and higher plants. Using Western blot analysis, Song et al. (2012) determined that recombinant human HSPC016 had an apparent molecular mass of 7.2 kD.

GENE FUNCTION

Early-passage normal human dermal papilla cells tend to aggregate, but they lose the ability to aggregate at high passage numbers. Using small interfering RNA, Song et al. (2012) found that knockdown of HSPC016 reduced the ability of early-passage dermal papilla cells to aggregate and caused morphologic changes, including a switch from oval shape to fusiform. In contrast, addition of recombinant human HSPC016 to the culture medium increased the ability of late-passage dermal papilla cells to aggregate.

GENE STRUCTURE

Song et al. (2005) determined that the TMA7 gene contains 4 exons.

MAPPING

Song et al. (2005) reported that the TMA7 gene maps to chromosome 3p21.31. ... More on the omim web site
