Disease relevance of ANKRD15

  • By a combination of genome subtraction and comprehensive analysis of loss of heterozygosity based on mapping hemizygous deletions for a potential tumor-related locus, a minimum overlapping region of deletions at 9p24 the size of 165 kb was identified and found to harbor a new potential tumor suppressor gene for renal cell carcinoma, the Kank gene [1].
  • Here, to examine the transcriptional initiation and genomic organization of the human Kank gene, we performed 5'-RACE (rapid amplification of cDNA ends) using total RNA from normal kidney and a human kidney cancer cell line, VMRC-RCW cells [2].
  • Deletion of the ANKRD15 gene at 9p24.3 causes parent-of-origin-dependent inheritance of familial cerebral palsy [3].
  • We identified 13 new gene expression markers that were elevated and one marker, ANKRD15, that was down-regulated in patients with polycythemia vera (PV) [4].
 

High impact information on ANKRD15

  • However, differences in methylation pattern were found in the CpG islands flanking the DMRT1 gene, which is located at the 3' side of the ANKRD15 gene [3].
  • No correlation was found between the expression of the ANKRD15 gene and the pattern of DNA methylation in the CpG islands 5' of the gene [3].
  • TOPFLASH reporter assays revealed a positive relationship between the nuclear import of Kank and the activation of beta-catenin-dependent transcription [5].
  • The human Kank protein has a role in controlling the formation of the cytoskeleton by regulating actin polymerization [5].
  • The localization of Kank in the cells before and after treatment with leptomycin B suggested that the transportation of Kank from the nucleus to the cytoplasm was mediated by a CRM1-dependent mechanism [5].
 

Biological context of ANKRD15

 

Anatomical context of ANKRD15

 

Other interactions of ANKRD15

  • The human Kank gene encodes an ankyrin repeat domain-containing protein which regulates actin polymerization [2].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of ANKRD15

  • The expression of ANKRD15 in lymphoblastoid cells from the control group was monoallelic but not imprinted [3].
  • Loss of expression of Kank in one RCC sample was detected by immunohistochemical and Western blot analyses while expression of CDKN2A (p16/Ink4A) was retained in the sample [6].
