Tertiary Structure of the human FAM13B protein from AlphaFold

Family with sequence similarity 13 member B is a protein which in humans is encoded by the FAM13B gene,[5] also known as C5ORF5. The FAM13B gene is found in vertebrates and jawed fish. FAM13B is expressed ubiquitously in human tissues[6] and has been linked to maglinant myelomas[7] susceptibility to atrial fibrillation, a cardiac arrhythmia.[8]

Molecular Features[edit]

Gene[edit]

The FAM13B gene is located on human chromosome 5q31, spanning 5610 base pairs and containing 23 exons.[6]

mRNA[edit]

There are 18 transcript variants, the longest mRNA contains 5610 base pairs.[6]

Expression[edit]

The FAM13B gene is expressed at high levels ubiquitously among human cell tissues with some variability, with the highest expression in the brain and the lowest expression in the liver.[6]

Protein[edit]

The longest protein product of FAM13B consists of 915 amino acids[9] with a molecular mass of 105kD.[10] FAM13B variants have the potential to encode several swapped proteins, including proteins with internal deletions, with different C termini, and with a deletion of the N terminus.[10] The protein has an isoelectric point of 4.9.[11] The human FAM13B protein is localized in the nucleoplasm and contains multiple peroxisomal targeting signals and nuclear localization signals.[12] The FAM13B protein has a lower amount of threonine and a higher amount of glutamate compared to other human proteins.[11]

The FAM13B contains 2 disordered region and 2 conserved domains:[6]

The RHOGAP domain is also found in the orthologs.

Post-translation modifications[edit]

The human FAM13B protein can undergo post-translational modifications including phosphorylation, acetylation, and methylation.[12]

Interacting proteins[edit]

The human FAM13B protein interacts with several proteins that are localized in the nucleoplasm, including RAC1, NME5, SPATA24, HIGD1A, PPP2CA, SAMHD1, UNK, YWHAZ.[15]

Orthologs[edit]

Orthologs of the FAM13B gene can be found in vertebrates including mammals, aves, reptiles, amphibians, and jawed fish.[6] There are no FAM13B orthologs found in invertebrates. FAM13B is more conserved in mammals, aves, and reptiles. FAM13B has a moderate mutation rate that is slower than Fibrinogen Alpha Chain but faster than Cytochrome C.

Paralogs[edit]

The human FAM13B gene has two paralogs, FAM13A[16] and FAM13C.[17] Similar to FAM13B, the FAM13A and FAM13C are found in vertebrates including mammals, aves, reptiles, amphibians, and jawed fish. The paralogs are not found in invertebrates.

Clinical significance[edit]

FAM13B is frequently deleted in malignant myelomas, suggesting its potential role in cancer development.[7] Altered expression of FAM13B has been linked to susceptibility to atrial fibrillation,[7] a cardiac arrhythmia.[8]
