Protein Name | Alternative Names | Gene Name | MW Predicted | MW Observed | Intracellular Localisation | Expression | Regulation |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
MACROD1 | LRP16 | MACROD1 | 35.5 kDa | 27 kDa* [70,71] | Mitochondrial [40,70,71] | Ubiquitous expression, enriched in skeletal muscle [70,71] | mRNA expression is induced by oestrogen [72,73,74] |
MACROD2 | C20orf133 | MACROD2 | 47 kDa | 50 kDa [70] | Diffuse nuclear, cytoplasmic [70,75] | So far detected only in the brain [70,76] | Phosphorylation by ATM upon DNA damage induces translocation to cytoplasm [75] |
TARG1 | C6orf130 | OARD1 | 17 kDa | 17 kDa [14,70] | Nuclear, nucleolar, stress granular [14,45,70] | Ubiquitous expression [70] | Leaves nucleoli upon DNA damage [14] |
* The predicted molecular weight of MACROD1 is 35 kDa. However, due to cleavage of the N-terminus upon translocation into mitochondria, the protein detected in western blotting (WB) is smaller [70].
