CLONING

PP4 is an anticoagulant protein that acts as an indirect inhibitor of the thromboplastin-specific complex, which is involved in the blood coagulation cascade. It has a relative molecular weight of about 35,000 and is present in placental tissue to the extent of about 50 mg per placenta with very little secretion into the maternal bloodstream. The PP4 cDNA encoded a protein of 320 amino acid residues. In addition to the PP4 cDNA, Grundmann et al. (1988) identified cDNA encoding a protein with 74% identity to PP4, which they termed PP4-X. PP4 and PP4-X belong to the lipocortin family, as judged by their homology to lipocortin I (151690) and calpactin I (114085). The placental anticoagulant protein called PAP, isolated by Funakoshi et al. (1987), may be the same protein. PP4 is also known as endonexin II. Endonexin II is a member of the family of Ca(2+)-dependent phospholipid binding proteins, known as annexins, which bind to the phospholipids that are preferentially located on the cytosolic face of the plasma membrane. Kaplan et al. (1988) cloned endonexin II cDNA and expressed it in Escherichia coli. A single mRNA, approximately 1.6 kb long, was found to be expressed in human cell lines and placenta. The length of the cDNA clone was 1.59 kb. The cDNA predicted a 320-amino acid protein with a sequence in agreement with the previously determined partial amino acid sequence of endonexin II isolated from placenta.

MAPPING

Using a cDNA clone of endonexin II, Modi et al. (1989) assigned the ANXA5 gene to 4q28-q31 by in situ hybridization and Southern analysis of human-rodent cell hybrid DNAs. Tait et al. (1991) found a somewhat different localization which overlapped with the assignment of Modi et al. (1989). By in situ hybridization with a cDNA probe and by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of a human/hamster hybrid cell panel, they assigned the ANXA5 gene to 4q26-q28. The regional localization was supported by Southern blot analysis of a human cell line with a deletion in 4q23-q27. A compromise assignment might be 4q26-q28. Rodriguez-Garcia et al. (1996) mapped the homologous gene to mouse chromosome 3.

GENE FUNCTION

Annexin V forms the voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels in phospholipid bilayers and was the first ion channel to be structurally and functionally characterized. Demange et al. (1994) outlined data indicating that key amino acid residues act as selectivity filters and voltage sensors, thereby regulating the permeability of the channel pore to ions. Tzima et al. (2000) showed that annexin V bound to F-actin and gamma-actin (ACTG1; 102560), but not beta-actin (ACTB; 102630), in activated human platelets.

MOLECULAR GENETICS

In 70 German patients with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPRGL3; 614391) who were known to carry neither factor V Leiden (612309.0001) nor a prothrombin (176930) mutation, Bogdanova et al. (2007) analyzed the ANXA5 gene and identified 4 consecutive nucleotide substitutions in the promoter region that were transmitted as a joint haplotype designated 'M2' (131230.0001). Carriers of the M2 haplotype had a 2- to 4-fold higher risk of RPRGL than noncarriers.

ANIMAL MODEL

Brachvogel et al. (2003) found that heterozygous and homozygous Anxa5-deficient mice were born at expected mendelian ratios, were viable and fertile, and showed no obvious phenotypic or behavioral abnormalities. ... More on the omim web site
