REPRIMO; RPRM


HGNC Approved Gene Symbol: RPRM

Cytogenetic location: 2q23.3     Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 2:153,477,338-153,478,762 (from NCBI)


TEXT

Cloning and Expression

Using a differential display screening approach on mouse embryonal fibroblasts to identify genes that are induced by p53 (191170) following X-irradiation, Ohki et al. (2000) identified one, which they termed Reprimo, that is involved in cell cycle regulation. Ohki et al. (2000) cloned mouse and human Reprimo cDNAs, which encode deduced 109-amino acid proteins sharing 98% sequence identity. The Reprimo protein is N-glycosylated and localizes to the cytoplasm.


Gene Structure

Ohki et al. (2000) determined that the mouse Rprm gene is intronless.


Mapping

By FISH, Ohki et al. (2000) mapped the RPRM gene to chromosome 2q23 in a region that is frequently lost in lung cancer cells and neuroblastomas.


Gene Function

Ohki et al. (2000) determined that RPRM is induced following x-irradiation in a p53-dependent manner and is a downstream mediator of p53 action. Overexpression of RPRM in HeLa cells by transfection resulted in G2 arrest of the cell cycle by inhibiting both CDC2 (116940) activity and nuclear translocation of the CDC2-cyclin B1 (CCNB1; 123836) complex.


Molecular Genetics

On the basis of alignment of human EST sequences, Ye and Parry (2002) identified 2 candidate polymorphisms at nucleotides 824 (G-C) and 839 (C-G) in the 3-prime untranslated region of the RPRM gene. They confirmed the presence of these polymorphisms in a Caucasian population. Beasley et al. (2008) found no association between the 824G-C polymorphism and colorectal cancer in a Caucasian population.

Using high-throughput microarray analysis of pancreatic cancer cell lines, Sato et al. (2003) identified RPRM as a methylation-related gene that is frequently methylated in pancreatic cancer cell lines and tumors.


History

Takahashi et al. (2005) reported that aberrant methylation and loss of expression of RPRM was common in several tumor cell lines and human malignancies. However, the paper was retracted 'due to presentation of an improperly manipulated figure (Figure 1A) in the article.'
