Abstract
AIM: To analyze the protein structure and function of Homo sapiens retinoic acid induced 16 (RAI16) cDNA nucleotides sequence.
METHODS: Using some related computer software and database, RAI16 cDNA sequence and the deduced amino acid (AA) sequence were analyzed and compared with those of other species, and the secondary structure and hydrophobicity of the protein were determined and predicted.
RESULTS: RAI16 cDNA sequence consisted of 2863 nucleotides encoding a 759-AA protein. RAI16 protein included a 31-AA signal peptide. The protein had no transmembrane domain, and its subcellular localization was in endoplasmic reticulum. The secondary structure contained several kinds of conformations. RAI16 protein appeared as a compact and globular domain, and was a secretory and hydrophilicity protein (grand average of hydropathicity: -0.136). The protein was also unstable (the unstable coefficient: 53.11), with many phosphorylation and proteinase sites.
CONCLUSION: As a new signal protein, RAI16 may be involved in the signal transduction and transcription of hepatoma cell differentiation by interacting with Tec protein.
