ERICH6 is a gene that encodes for the glutamate-rich 6 protein[1]. In humans, it is found in the 44th open reading frame of the 3rd chromosome[2]. ERICH6 is one of 6 currently found ERICH genes in the human genome (labeled ERICH1-ERICH6), however no linkage has been found in these genes besides their high concentration of glutamate[3].
Gene
[edit]Locus
[edit]ERICH6 is a protein-coding gene found on the reverse (-) strand of chromosome 3 at the locus 3q25.1, on the long arm of the chromosome[4]
Gene Neighborhood
[edit]The SIAH2 gene is located upstream of ERICH6 on the third chromosome. Additionally, the SELENOT gene is located downstream.
Aliases
[edit]ERICH6 is also known as c3orf44, FAM194A and ERICH6A.
Transcript
[edit]mRNA
[edit]ERICH6's mRNA transcript is 2021 nucleotides long. These nucleotides encode for a 663 amino acid protein. There are 14 exons and 13 introns, as well as two isoforms. Isoform 1 is the longer, with isoform 2 missing exon 1.
Protein
[edit]The protein encoded by ERICH6 is known as glutamate-rich 6 protein. The molecular weight of glutamate-rich 6 is about 75kD[7]. There are two disordered regions within the protein. The protein contains a FAM194 region, which is highly conserved.
Expression
[edit]ERICH6 is expressed at low levels throughout the body[8]. The expression pattern of this protein is restricted to pre-meiotic germ cells, which suggests it could be implicated in cell division or DNA replication during the early stages of spermatogenesis[9].
Homology
[edit]Paralogs
[edit]There are two known paralogs of ERICH6. ERICH6B is located on Chromosome 13 while c3orf20 is on Chromosome 3.
Name | Accesion Number | Location in human genome | Sequence similarity to ERICH6 | E-value |
---|---|---|---|---|
ERICH6B | NP_872348 | c13 q14.13 | 32.6% | 8.00E-20 |
c3orf20 | AAH30599.1 | c3 p25.1 | 29.93% | 3.00E-12 |
Orthologs
[edit]ERICH6 was found to be conserved in all mammals, reptiles, fish and most invertebrates[10]. The most distance ortholog was found to evolve 758 million years ago[11]. It was not found in any arthropods.
Gene Evolution
[edit]ERICH6 is relatively fast evolving. It has evolution values (corrected M) more similar to the quick evolving Fibrinogen alpha chain gene. It is quicker evolving than the Cytochrome c gene.
Clinical Significance
[edit]ERICH6 as a lncRNA has a strong correlation with Immune cell infiltration[12]. Mutations in the 5’ UTR of ERICH6 (T to C switches) were found to cause tumor regression in Tasmanian Devils[13].
