In humans, the immunoglobulin super family containing leucine-rich repeat (ISLR) protein is encoded by the ISLR gene.[1] Current RNA-seq studies show that the protein is highly expressed in the endometrium and ovary and shows expression among 25 other tissues.[2] The protein is seen localized in the cytoplasm,[3] plasma membrane,[4] extracellular exosome,[5] and platelet alpha granule lumen.[1] Furthermore, the protein is known to play a role in platelet degranulation,[1] cell adhesion,[6] and response to elevated platelet cytosolic Ca2+.[7]

Gene

The aliases for ISLR are Meflin, HsT17563, and mesenchymal stromal-cell and fibroblast-expressing Linx paralogue.[1] The gene is part of the I-set family.[1]

The most updated annotation shows the gene spanning from 74,173,710 to 74,176,871 base pairs (3,161 bp) with location on the plus strand at position 15q24.1 (Chromosome 15).[1] The gene contains 3 exons and 4 distinct introns.[1][8]

Transcription

Known isoforms

The ISLR gene have two known transcript isoforms on the plus strands: ISLR transcript variant 1[9] and ISLR transcript variant 2.[10] Both variants encode for the same protein.[11]

Transcript variant 1 encodes for the longest protein isoform with the length of 2,331 bp, containing 2 exons.[9]

Transcript variant 2 encodes for the shorter protein isoform with the length of 2,128 bp, containing 2 exons.[10] This variant differs in the 5' UTR compared to variant 1.[10]

Protein

Physical features

The human gene of ISLR has two alternatively spliced identical isoforms.[7] The domains of the ISLR gene follows as: LRR_8 (leucine-rich repeat), LRR_RI (ribonuclease inhibitor), PCC (polycystin cation channel protein) Super family, and Ig (immunoglobulin).[12]

The predicted isoelectric point of unmodified protein ISLR is 5.3.[8] The calculated molar mass is 46.0 kDa.[6]

The ISLR protein has 428 amino acids (aa) in humans.[13] Through the Statistical Analysis of Protein Sequences (SAPS) tool, the percentage of most amino acid residues is about its average percentage among human proteins except leucine which shows high abundance compared to a normal protein.[14] This is expected with the gene containing multiple LRR (leucine-rich repeats) structural motifs.[1] There is a significantly low abundance of methionine (predicted to be 0.5%).[14] In summary, the positively charged amino acid residues overcounts the negatively charged amino acid residues.[14]

Through SAPS tool, there are two predicted identical four-block length repetitive structures that fall within LRR structural motifs: LSHL at 97-100 bp and 172-175 bp.[14]

One high-scoring transmembrane segment was predicted through the SAPS tool from 411 to 428 aa (length 18) with a pocket from 417 to 418 aa.[14] The Phobius prediction for the ISLR protein sequence illustrated the potential transmembrane domain and a signal peptide (Figure 2).[15] The SignalP-5.0 prediction for the signal peptide reported a likelihood of 0.9989 with a cleavage site between position 18 and 19 with the probability of 0.9146.[16]

Post-translational modifications

Phosphorylation Sites

There are 31 predicted phosphorylation sites in the protein sequence for ISLR in humans from NetPhos.[17] The results were filtered for best predictions for each residue display and accounted for serine, threonine, and tyrosine.

Through Eukaryotic Structural Motif (ELM tool) predictions, eight distinct phosphorylation sites were identified for the protein:[18]

  1. Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3)[19] phosphorylation site at position 234-241 aa.
  2. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase related kinase (PIKK) phosphorylation site[20] at position 238-244 aa.
  3. Casein kinase (CK1) phosphorylation site[21] at position 335-341 aa.
  4. Two CK2 phosphorylation sites[22] at positions 343-349 aa and 376-382 aa.
  5. Proline-Directed (MAPK) phosphorylation site[23] at position 343-349 aa.
  6. Polo-like kinase phosphosites 1 (Plk1) at positions 336-342 aa and 351-357 aa. Ser/Thr residues are phosphorylated by the kinase.[24]
  7. Plk4 phosphosite at position 415-421 aa. Ser/Thr residues are phosphorylated by the kinase.[25]
  8. Two NEK2 phosphorylation sites[26] at positions 415-420 bp and 423-428 aa.

GPI-Modifications

Predicted with big-PI predictor,[45] one glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI) modification was found at position 401 aa (best site) with P-value score of 1.71e-03.[46]

Secondary and Tertiary Structure

Of all the predicted beta sheets, four stretches at 253-260 aa, 265-272 aa, 323-331 aa, and 335-346 aa were identified with high confidence using CFSSP[47] and Phyre2.[48] Of all the predicted alpha helices, three alpha helices at 5-15 aa, 189-195 aa, and 214-216 aa were identified with high confidence as well. A tertiary model of the human ISLR protein predicted by I-TASSER[49] shows a combination of some alpha helices and beta sheets (Figure 1). Based on the secondary structure prediction of the protein in I-TASSER, the locations of the four beta sheets and three alpha helices confirms the predictions of high confidence made by CFSSP and Phyre2.

Subcellular Localization

The ISLR protein in humans is expected to localize throughout a cell, including extracellular region, based on the predicted results of PSORT II.[50] The Reinhardt's method for cytoplasmic/nuclear discrimination predicted the protein to be more cytoplasmic with a reliability of 76.7. Additionally, ISLR was shown to localize in the cytoplasm based on the polyclonal antibody results in immunohistochemically stained human tissues in myocytes, glandular cells, skin, hepatocytes.[3] Immunofluorescent staining of ISLR in human cell line BJ (fibroblasts) showed localization to the plasma membrane using ISLR Polyclonal Antibody as well.[51]

Expression

In humans, RNA-seq was conducted on tissue samples from 95 individuals representing 27 different tissues to determine tissue-specificity of all protein-coding genes.[52] Notably, there is high expression of ISLR in endometrium and ovary and visible expression among 25 other tissues. Another study of RNA Sequencing of total RNA from 20 human tissues demonstrated high expression of ISLR in uterus.[53] Tissue-specific circular RNA induction during human fetal development showed steady expression of ISLR throughout the development with a high increase at 10 weeks for stomach.[54] Expression remained notably high to 20 weeks for stomach.

In the annotated figure, an in situ Hybridization on a 56-days old male mouse brain (sagittal cut) demonstrated expression in the olfactory areas and hippocampal formation (Figure 4).[55]

Based on Protein Abundance Database (PAXdb 4.1), the human protein of ISLR is shown with high protein abundance (ppm value > 1) relative to the whole organism.[56]

Expression in Clinical Studies

Expression profiling by microarray of ISLR in female human subjects demonstrated overexpression of ISLR in breast lipotransfer white adipose tissue CD34+ cells and significantly lower expression in leukapheresis CD34+ cells.[57]

Expression profiling by microarray of ISLR in human subjects demonstrated overexpression in non-union skeletal fractures compared to low expression in normal fractures.[58]

Expression profiling by microarray of ISLR in obese female human subjects demonstrated consistent low expression of ISLR in subjects that followed a short-term low-fat hypocaloric diet.[59]

Regulation of Expression

Gene level regulation

There is one promoter region in the ISLR gene with a predicted length of 1,912 bp (Figure 5) extracted from Genomatix.[60] Additionally, there is a polyadenylation signal at 3,142 bp in the ISLR nucleotide sequence (humans).[61]

There are six distinct transcription factors that bind onto the promoter region of ISLR from Genomatix predictions: two SMAD factors, sine oculis homeobox (SIX), heat shock factor (HSF), PRDM, Snail, and cell cycles gene homology region (CHR).[60]

Genomatix results predicted more transcription factor binding sites in ISLR with the highest matrix similarity (0.97~0.99) such as:

  1. Myeloid zinc finger 1 factor (MZF1)
  2. Nuclear factor of activated T-cells

Homology and Evolutionary History

Paralogs

Currently, there is one other paralog in humans known as ISLR 2[64] and two paralogous domains: LRRN4 (protein precursor 4) and LRRN4CL (protein precursor 4 C-terminal like).[7]

Orthologs/Distant Homologs

As of August 2020, there above 190 known orthologs of the ISLR human gene,[65] the most distant ortholog and homolog found in Exaiptasia pallida (sea anemone).[66] The table below demonstrates the relationships between human ISLR protein characteristics and selected orthologs covering the range from closest related to Homo sapiens to most distant.

Interacting protein

Protein interactions

There are a total of 284 results from PSIQUIC View[67] of ISLR (human) that demonstrates its binding to numerous distinct proteins. iRefIndex showed 97 total results with multiple physical association interactions such as ISLR with Rho GTP-family (RHOBTB3), BMP7, Sphingose-1-Phosphate Lyase (SGPL1), Carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase (SLC25A20), Canopy FGF Signaling regulator 3 (CNPY3), and Leishmanolysin-like peptidase (LMLN).[68] The physical associations were identified with two hybrid pooling approach, affinity chromatography technology, enzymatic study, or anti-tag coimmunoprecipitation. Overall, the results from iRefIndex suggests ISLR to be involved in various mechanisms such as cell migration, transport of different complexes, and metabolism (enzymatic mechanisms). For example, RHOBTB3 is involved in transporting different complexes along pathways such as endosomes to trans Golgi network and Golgi to ER.[69] Furthermore, LMLN has been shown to play a role in cell migration, potentially mitotic progression.[70] In terms of metabolism, SGPL1 is involved in the metabolism of sphingolipids.[71]

Interactions with coronavirus strains

Based on the previous results from iRefindex[68] that indicated physical associations between ISLR and other proteins, two different interactions were identified with distinct strains of coronavirus. An interaction with orf1ab polyprotein of the human coronavirus strain HKU1(HCov-HKU1) was shown in physical association with ISLR through the two hybrid pooling approach, where ISLR is indicated as "prey" and the orf1ab polyprotein is indicated as "bait".[72]

There is another detected interaction of ISLR and Human SARS coronavirus through direct contact based on the two hybrid pooling approach.[72]

Clinical significance

Past studies

The delivery of ISLR-expressing lentivirus into a tumor stroma suppressed the growth of tumors in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).[73] In PDAC, low expression of ISLR (Meflin) was associated with aggressive tumors, characterized by straight collagen fibers in the stroma.[73] Regarding tumorigenesis in IBD patients, a study investigated the Hippo signaling pathway in intestinal regeneration of epithelial cells.[74] ETS1, an oncogenic transcription factor in stromal cells, induced the expression of ISLR protein which inhibited Hippo signaling, thus promoting intestinal regeneration.[74] In mice, it was demonstrated that deletion of ISLR in stromal cells can suppress tumorigenesis in the intestine.[74] For the ISLR 2 paralog, a study demonstrated that congenital hydrocephalus, arthrogryposis, and abdominal distension is associated with an autosomal recessive knockout on the phenotype of ISLR 2 in a multiplex consanguineous family.[75] ISLR 2 encodes a protein that plays a role in axon guidance in brain development, hence, unveiling potential links to certain congenital neurological disorders.[75]
