UniProt functional annotation for P42166

UniProt code: P42166.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: May be involved in the structural organization of the nucleus and in the post-mitotic nuclear assembly. Plays an important role, together with LMNA, in the nuclear anchorage of RB1.
 
Function: TP and TP5 may play a role in T-cell development and function. TP5 is an immunomodulating pentapeptide.
 
Subunit: Interacts with LMNA, BANF1 and RB1 and with chromosomes. Associates directly or indirectly with lamins at specific cell-cycle stages. Interacts with CMTM6 (PubMed:28813417). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10984438, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12475961, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28813417, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9707448}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus. Chromosome. Note=Expressed diffusely throughout the nucleus.
Tissue specificity: Expressed in many tissues. Most abundant in adult thymus and fetal liver.
Domain: The N-terminal part contains two structurally independent, non- interacting domains: LEM-like (also called LAP2-N or LEM-D) and LEM (also called LAP2-C or LEM-B). LEM-like binds DNA while LEM interacts with BANF1.
Domain: The C-terminal domain forms a four-stranded coiled coil. {ECO:0000250}.
Ptm: Phosphorylated in a mitose-specific manner. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9707448}.
Pharmaceutical: TP5 is available under the names Timunox (Cilag), Sintomodulina (Italofarmaco) and Mepentil (Recordati). Used in primary and secondary immune deficiencies, autoimmunity, infections and cancer.
Similarity: Belongs to the LEM family. {ECO:0000305}.
