LYMPHOID PROTEIN OF ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
JAW1


HGNC Approved Gene Symbol: IRAG2

Cytogenetic location: 12p12.1     Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 12:24,997,575-25,108,335 (from NCBI)


TEXT

Description

LRMP is a lymphoid-restricted protein localized to the cytoplasmic face of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and is a member of a class of integral membrane proteins with a carboxyl-terminal membrane anchor (CTMA) without an amino-terminal signal sequence (summary by Behrens et al., 1996).


Cloning and Expression

Behrens et al. (1994) performed a differential screen of a human B-lymphoma cDNA library to identify genes expressed preferentially in B-cell lines. The authors cloned and characterized a gene, which they called JAW1, that is expressed in a developmentally regulated manner in lymphoid cell lines and tissues. JAW1 encodes a 539-amino acid polypeptide with a predicted molecular mass of 59.6 kD. The authors localized JAW1 to the cytoplasmic face of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by indirect immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy. The protein has a coiled-coil domain and a C-terminal membrane anchor with a conserved luminal tail region.


Gene Function

Behrens et al. (1996) showed that the 71 C-terminal amino acids of the JAW1 protein, which contain a hydrophobic membrane-spanning region, are both necessary and sufficient for targeting a heterologous protein to the ER.


Mapping

Gross (2014) mapped the LRMP gene to chromosome 12p12.1 based on an alignment of the LRMP sequence (GenBank BC126417) with the genomic sequence (GRCh37).
