Disease relevance of Egln1

This protein was 57% homologous to the putative protein encoded by the ORF13 gene of herpesvirus Saimiri, a T lymphotropic virus [1].
The Brucella abortus virB operon, consisting of 11 genes, virB1 to virB11, and two putative genes, orf12 (virB12) and orf13, encodes a type IV secretion system (T4SS) that is required for intracellular replication and persistent infection in the mouse model [2].

High impact information on Egln1

This gene, located on chromosome 15, is likely to have evolved by retroposition of SM-20 mRNA and an exon-shuffling mechanism [3].
The mutant mouse strain HPH2 (hyperphenylalaninemia) was isolated after N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) mutagenesis on the basis of delayed plasma clearance of an injected load of phenylalanine [4].
This cDNA, which contains mRNA instability sequences characteristic of many cytokines, encoded a putative secreted protein that was homologous to the ORF13 gene of Herpesvirus saimiri [5].
