p47 GTPase family includes IGTP, TGTP/Mg21, IRG-47, GTPI, LRG-47, and IIGP1
The p47 GTPase family consists of several highly homologous proteins, including IGTP, TGTP/Mg21, IRG-47, GTPI, LRG-47, and IIGP1. They are found in higher eukaryotes where they play a role in immune resistance against intracellular pathogens. p47 proteins exist at low resting levels in mouse cells, but are strongly induced by Type II interferon (IFN-gamma). ITGP is critical for resistance to Toxoplasma gondii infection and in involved in inhibition of Coxsackievirus-B3-induced apoptosis. TGTP was shown to limit vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) infection of fibroblasts in vitro. IRG-47 is involved in resistance to T. gondii infection. LRG-47 has been implicated in resistance to T. gondii, Listeria monocytogenes, Leishmania, and mycobacterial infections. IIGP1 has been shown to localize to the ER and to the Golgi membranes in IFN-induced cells and inflamed tissues. In macrophages, IIGP1 interacts with hook3, a microtubule binding protein that participates in the organization of the cis-Golgi compartment.
