Disease relevance of UGT2B17

 

High impact information on UGT2B17

  • In contrast to previously defined human minor H antigens, UGT2B17 is immunogenic because of differential expression of the protein in donor and recipient cells as a consequence of a homozygous gene deletion in the donor [5].
  • Here, we have used cDNA expression cloning to identify a novel human minor H antigen encoded by UGT2B17, an autosomal gene in the multigene UDP-glycosyltransferase 2 family that is selectively expressed in liver, intestine, and antigen-presenting cells [5].
  • These findings suggest considerable heterogeneity with regard to the expression of UDPGT isoenzymes among CN type I patients [3].
  • The steroid form of the UDPGT transcript was expressed in LNCaP cells and was enhanced in biochanin A-treated LNCaP cells [6].
  • Biochanin A significantly decreased the testosterone-stimulated release of PSA, presumably because biochanin A increased UDPGT and increased the intracellular glucuronidation of testosterone [6].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of UGT2B17

  • Crigler-Najjar syndrome type 1 (CN type 1) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by nonhemolytic jaundice resulting from mutations to the gene encoding bilirubin-UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UDPGT) [7].

Anatomical context of UGT2B17

 

Associations of UGT2B17 with chemical compounds

  • UGT2B17 is the first human uridine diphosphoglucuronosyltransferase enzyme expressed in extrahepatic tissues to have a specificity for ADT as well as testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, and 3alpha-diol [8].
  • UGT2B15 and UGT2B17 are 95% identical in primary structure, and are expressed in steroid target tissues where they conjugate C19 steroids [9].
  • Cycloheximide treatment of stably transfected HK293 cells demonstrated that the UGT2B17 protein is more labile than the other enzymes; the protein levels decrease after 1 h of treatment, whereas other UGT2B proteins were stable for at least 12 h [15].
  • We found that UGT2B17 is expressed in basal cells where DHEA is converted into 3alpha-DIOL and ADT [13].
  • However, mutation of the serine residue at position 121 of UGT2B17 to a tyrosine, as found in UGT2B15, abolished the ability of UGT2B17 to conjugate androsterone at the 3alpha position, but still retained activity for dihydrotestosterone and 5alpha-androstane-3alpha, 17beta-diol, which have an OH-group at the 17beta position [10].
 

Regulatory relationships of UGT2B17

  • To determine if UGT2B17 is regulated by physiological effectors of the human prostate, DHT and epidermal growth factor (EGF) were demonstrated to specifically down-regulate the steady-state levels of UGT2B17 transcript and protein in LNCaP cells (Guillemette et al., 1997) [16].
 

Other interactions of UGT2B17

  • UGT2B17 is 95% identical with UGT2B15 and 91% identical with UGT2B8 [8].
  • 1. The other PAC clones isolated contain exons from the UGT2B4, UGT2B11 and UGT2B17 genes [9].
  • EGF treatment resulted in a decreased UGT2B17 expression, whereas UGT2B10 and -B11 mRNA remained at their basal levels [17].
  • Glucuronidation of gemcabene was catalyzed by recombinant UGT1A3, recombinant UGT2B7, and recombinant UGT2B17, as well as by human liver microsomes (HLM) [18].
  • The UGT2B17 Pbx site matches a consensus Pbx site known to bind members of the Pbx, Hox, Meis, and Prep1 families of homeodomain-containing proteins and has previously been shown to bind nuclear proteins in DNaseI footprint assays [19].
