StructureThis gene encodes a 37 kDa protein which putatively contains six to eight transmembrane domains. As a member of the TMBIM family, GHITM shares a transmembrane BAX inhibitor motif, a semi-hydrophobic transmembrane domain, and similar tertiary structure with the other five members. However, unlike the other members, GHITM possesses a unique acidic (D) instead of a basic (H or R) residue near its second transmembrane domain, as well as an additional transmembrane domain that, after cleavage behind residue 57 (SREY|A), signals for localization to the IMM.[4][5][6] Nonetheless, it is possible that cleavage at different sites (XXRR-like motif (LAAR) in the N-terminal and a KKXX-like motif (GNRK) in the C-terminal) or alternative splicing may account for the protein’s observed localization to the ER.[5][6] FunctionGHITM is a mitochondrial protein and a member of the TMBIM family and BAX inhibitor-1 (BI1) superfamily.[4][5] It is ubiquitously expressed but is especially abundant in the brain, heart, liver, kidney, and skeletal muscle and scarce in the intestines and thymus.[5] This protein localizes specifically to the IMM, where it regulates apoptosis through two separate processes: (1) the BAX-independent management of mitochondrial morphology and (2) the release of cytochrome c. In the first process, GHITM maintains cristae organization, and its downregulation results in mitochondrial fragmentation, possibly through inducing fusing of the cristae structures, thus leading to the release of proapoptotic proteins such as cytochrome c, Smac, and Htra2. Meanwhile, in the second process, GHITM is responsible for cross-linking cytochrome c to the IMM, and upregulation of GHITM is associated with delayed cytochrome c release, regardless of outer mitochondrial membrane permeabilization. Thus, GHITM controls the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria and can potentially interfere with the apoptotic process to promote cell survival.[4][5] Moreover, GHITM may further plays a role in apoptosis through maintaining calcium ion homeostasis in the ER. However, while overexpression of the other TMBIM proteins exhibit antiapoptotic effects by decreasing calcium ion concentrations, and thus preventing mitochondrial calcium ion overload, depolarization, ATP loss, reactive oxygen species production, cytochrome c release, and ultimately, cell death, overexpression of GHITM produces the opposite effect.[5] Clinical significanceGHITM may be involved in tumor metastasis through its interactions with the Bcl-2 family proteins to regulate apoptosis.[6][7] Its role as an apoptotic regulator may also associate it with innate antiviral responses.[7] Overexpression of GHITM has also been observed to speed up the ageing process in HIV infected patients.[8] InteractionsGHITM has been shown to interact with cytochrome c.[4] References1. ^{{cite journal | vauthors = Andersson B, Wentland MA, Ricafrente JY, Liu W, Gibbs RA | title = A "double adaptor" method for improved shotgun library construction | journal = Analytical Biochemistry | volume = 236 | issue = 1 | pages = 107–13 | date = Apr 1996 | pmid = 8619474 | pmc = | doi = 10.1006/abio.1996.0138 }} 2. ^{{cite journal | vauthors = Yu W, Andersson B, Worley KC, Muzny DM, Ding Y, Liu W, Ricafrente JY, Wentland MA, Lennon G, Gibbs RA | title = Large-scale concatenation cDNA sequencing | journal = Genome Research | volume = 7 | issue = 4 | pages = 353–8 | date = Apr 1997 | pmid = 9110174 | pmc = 139146 | doi = 10.1101/gr.7.4.353 }} 3. ^{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: GHITM growth hormone inducible transmembrane protein| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=27069| accessdate = }} 4. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite journal | vauthors = Oka T, Sayano T, Tamai S, Yokota S, Kato H, Fujii G, Mihara K | title = Identification of a novel protein MICS1 that is involved in maintenance of mitochondrial morphology and apoptotic release of cytochrome c | journal = Molecular Biology of the Cell | volume = 19 | issue = 6 | pages = 2597–608 | date = Jun 2008 | pmid = 18417609 | doi = 10.1091/mbc.E07-12-1205 | pmc=2397309}} 5. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite journal | vauthors = Lisak DA, Schacht T, Enders V, Habicht J, Kiviluoto S, Schneider J, Henke N, Bultynck G, Methner A | title = The transmembrane Bax inhibitor motif (TMBIM) containing protein family: Tissue expression, intracellular localization and effects on the ER CA(2+)-filling state | journal = Biochimica et Biophysica Acta | volume = 1853 | issue = 9 | pages = 2104–14 | date = Sep 2015 | pmid = 25764978 | doi = 10.1016/j.bbamcr.2015.03.002 }} 6. ^1 2 3 {{cite journal | vauthors = Zhou J, Zhu T, Hu C, Li H, Chen G, Xu G, Wang S, Zhou J, Ma D | title = Comparative genomics and function analysis on BI1 family | journal = Computational Biology and Chemistry | volume = 32 | issue = 3 | pages = 159–62 | date = Jun 2008 | pmid = 18440869 | doi = 10.1016/j.compbiolchem.2008.01.002 }} 7. ^1 2 {{cite journal | vauthors = Li S, Wang L, Berman M, Kong YY, Dorf ME | title = Mapping a dynamic innate immunity protein interaction network regulating type I interferon production | journal = Immunity | volume = 35 | issue = 3 | pages = 426–40 | date = Sep 2011 | pmid = 21903422 | doi = 10.1016/j.immuni.2011.06.014 | pmc=3253658}} 8. ^{{cite journal | vauthors = Moni MA, Liò P | title = Network-based analysis of comorbidities risk during an infection: SARS and HIV case studies | journal = BMC Bioinformatics | volume = 15 | pages = 333 | date = 24 October 2014 | pmid = 25344230 | doi = 10.1186/1471-2105-15-333 | pmc=4363349}} Further reading{{refbegin|33em}}
