Extra Details:
This is a paternally expressed imprinted gene that is thought to have been derived from the Ty3/Gypsy family of retrotransposons. It contains two overlapping open reading frames; RF1 and RF2; and expresses two proteins: a shorter; gag-like protein (with a CCHC-type zinc finger domain) from RF1; and a longer; gag/pol-like fusion protein (with an additional aspartic protease motif) from RF1/RF2 by -1 translational frameshifting (-1 FS). While -1 FS has been observed in RNA viruses and transposons in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes; this gene represents the first example of -1 FS in a eukaryotic cellular gene. This gene is highly conserved across mammalian species and retains the heptanucleotide (GGGAAAC) and pseudoknot elements required for -1 FS. It is expressed in adult and embryonic tissues (most notably in placenta) and reported to have a role in cell proliferation; differentiation and apoptosis. Overexpression of this gene has been associated with several malignancies; such as hepatocellular carcinoma and B-cell lymphocytic leukemia. Knockout mice lacking this gene showed early embryonic lethality with placental defects; indicating the importance of this gene in embryonic development. Additional isoforms resulting from alternatively spliced transcript variants; and use of upstream non-AUG (CUG) start codon have been reported for this gene.
