Carbohydrate kinase domain containing protein (abbreviated as CARKD), encoded by CARKD gene, is a human protein of unknown function. The CARKD gene encodes proteins with a predicted mitochondrial propeptide (mCARKD), a signal peptide (spCARKD) or neither of them (cCARKD). Confocal microscopy analysis of transfected CHO (Chinese-hamster ovary) cells indicated that cCARKD remains in the cytosol, whereas mCARKD and spCARKD are targeted to the mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum respectively.[6] The protein is conserved throughout many species, and has predicted orthologs through eukaryotes, bacteria, and archea.

Structure

[edit]

Gene

[edit]

Human CARKD gene has 10 exons and resides on Chromosome 13 at q34. The following genes are near CARKD on the chromosome:[7]

  • COL4A2: A2 Subunit of type IV collagen
  • RAB20: Potential regulator of Connexin 43 trafficking.
  • CARS2: Mitochondrial Cystienyl-tRNA Synthetase 2
  • ING1: Tumor-Suppressor Protein

Protein

[edit]

This protein is part of the phosphomethylpyrimidine kinase: ribokinase / pfkB superfamily. This family is characterized by the presence of a domain shared by the family.[8] CARKD contains a carbohydrate kinase domain (Pfam PF01256).[8] This family is related to Pfam PF02210 and Pfam PF00294 implying that it also is a carbohydrate kinase.

Predicted properties

[edit]

The following properties of CARKD were predicted using bioinformatic analysis:

Function

[edit]

Tissue distribution

[edit]

CARKD appears to be ubiquitously expressed at high levels. Expression data in the human protein, and the mouse ortholog, indicate its expression in almost all tissues.[13][14] One peculiar expression pattern of CARKD is its differential expression through the development of oligodendrocytes. Its expression is lower in oligodendrocyte progenitor cells than in mature oligodendrocytes.[15]

Binding partners

[edit]

The human protein apolipoprotein A-1 binding precursor (APOA1BP) was predicted to be a binding partner for CARKD.[16] This prediction is based on co-occurrence across genomes and co-expression. In addition to these data, the orthologs of CARKD in E. coli contain a domain similar to APOA1BP. This indicates that the two proteins are likely to have originated from a common evolutionary ancestor and, according to Rosetta stone analysis theory,[17] are likely interaction partners even in species such as humans where the two proteins are not produced as a single polypeptide.

Clinical significance

[edit]

Based on allele-specific expression of CARKD, CARKD may play a role in acute lymphoblastic leukemia.[18] In addition, microarray data indicates that CARKD is up-regulated in Glioblastoma multiforme tumors.[19]
