Abstract:
ObjectiveThe role of human tumor-related calcium signal transductor 2 (TACSTD2) in promoting tumorigenesis has been noticed recently. We predicted the molecular structure and biological function of TACSTD2 by bioinformatic methods, in order to provide reference for further study of TACSTD2.MethodsThe homo sapiens TACSTD2 mRNA and protein amino acid sequences were obtained from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database. The bioinformatic methods were used to analyze the open reading frame(ORF) of TACSTD2, physicochemical properties, signal peptide and protein localization, subcellular localization, and prediction of transmembrane structure and secondary structure, tertiary structure, potential protein modification sites, domains, protein modification sites proteins, protein interacting with TACSTD2, biological functions of TACSTD2, and expression of TACSTD2 in human normal tissues and certain tumor types.ResultsAccording to the mRNA sequence of TACSTD2, there are 12 ORFs, and the longest is ORF1, with a total of 972bp, encoding 323 amino acids. The hydrophilic amino acid of TACSTD2 is more than that of hydrophobic amino acid, indicating that TACSTD2 belongs to hydrophilic protein. TACSTD2 is a highly conserved alkaline secreted protein with a transmembrane region both inside and outside the cytoplasm. The presence of nuclear localization signal(NLS) in the amino acid sequence of TACSTD2 suggests that TACSTD2 can locate in cell nucleus. TACSTD2 mainly distribute in cytoplasmic membrane, extracellular, nucleus and cytoplasm. The secondary structure prediction results showed that the main structure of TACSTD2 was random coil, followed by a α helix. TACSTD2 has 15 serine modification sites, 17 threonine modification sites, and 8 tyrosine modification sites. The TACSTD2 has protein interactions with Claudin(CLDN) protein family; and participating in signaling pathway such as cell surface receptor, cell proliferation, negative regulation of epithelial cell migration, and so on. Comparing with normal human tissues, its mRNA expression is up-regulated in most tumor types such as cervical cancer, lung cancer, thyroid cancer, uterine cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer.ConclusionAccording to the analysis of the structure and function of TACSTD2, TACSTD2 is highly-expression in multiple malignancies. It can participate in the process of proliferation, migration and adhesion of malignant tumor cells through cell surface receptor signaling pathways. This study provide reference for the further research about the function of TACSTD2.
