Disease relevance of IGKV2-29

  • Polymorphism in the IGKV2-29 gene was shown to decrease the recombination frequency in B cells and to be important for immune responses to Haemophilus influenzae type b polysaccharide [1].
  • RmcB did not protect HeLa cells from infection by poliovirus, echovirus 6, or coxsackievirus A18 [2].
  • Thus, despite the sequence similarity between A2 and A18, only A2 contributes to the canonical Hib PS paratope [3].
  • MLSSR analysis was also clearly able to distinguish between sheep and cattle isolates of M. paratuberculosis and easily and reproducibly differentiated strains representing the predominant MPIL genotype (genotype A18) and AFLP genotypes (genotypes Z1 and Z2) of M. paratuberculosis described previously [4].
  • Based on our preliminary clinical data, we came to the conclusion that both A18 and A21 could possibly be used in the prognosis of breast cancer [5].
 

High impact information on IGKV2-29

  • The UV-inducible RNA-binding protein A18 (A18 hnRNP) plays a protective role in the genotoxic stress response [6].
  • Using the hamster A18 partial-length cDNA as a probe, we screened human fibroblast cDNA library and isolated the corresponding full-length human cDNA [7].
  • The DDI clones A18, 106, and A107 were different isolates of the same hamster cDNA (hereafter referred to as A18) and displayed high sequence homology with the members in the heterogeneous ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) family [7].
  • Since purine 18 does not form a base-pair in the non-specific purine trap, both purines, G18 and A18, fit to the structure equally well [8].
  • Polysaccharide binding potential of the human A2 or A18 kappa light chain homologues [3].
 

Biological context of IGKV2-29

  • The A18 mRNA levels were specifically increased in response to DNA damage induced by UV irradiation or UV mimetic agents [7].
  • DNA fingerprinting and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis results confirmed that C4:2 was of the same lineage as A18 [9].
  • Thus, in the presence of 10(-9) M D4 bimAb, protein synthesis was inhibited with an IC50 of 5 x 10(-10) M as gelonin, whereas with A18 bimAb the IC50 was 8 x 10(-11) M [10].
  • The A18b allele that was recently described in Native American Navajos by Atkinson et al. was found in all three populations with gene frequencies of 8%, 45% and 23% in Caucasians, Eskimos and blacks, respectively [11].
  • Moreover, down regulation of hnRNP A18 correlates with a significant reduction of TRX protein levels [12].
 

Anatomical context of IGKV2-29

  • The functionality of the A18b allele was documented by the demonstration of properly rearranged and somatically hypermutated A18b messenger RNA present in the blood lymphocytes of individuals carrying this allele [11].
  • An A15, an A18, and an A24 wide-field amacrine cell were stained [13].
  • Of the 48 patients with a normal size left ventricle on echocardiography, 25.58% had measurement A 18 mm and above, and 13.95% had a value 19 mm and above [14].
  • In the adult cat, axons running through the corpus callosum interconnect the border between the visual cortical areas 17 and 18 (A17 and A18) of both hemispheres [15].
 

Associations of IGKV2-29 with chemical compounds

  • To investigate the activities of these P450 family enzymes in the murine ES cell-derived hepatic tissue system at A16 and A18, testosterone metabolism in this system was analyzed [16].
  • Here, we show that the heterogenous ribonucleoprotein A18 (hnRNP A18) RNA Binding Domain (RBD) and the arginine, glycine (RGG) rich domain can bind TRX 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) independently but both domains are required for maximal binding [12].
