Summary of nomenclature, expression, and localisation data of MACROD1, MACROD2, and TARG1.

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].
