HIRA

Protein HIRA is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HIRA gene.[5][6][7][8] This gene is mapped to 22q11.21, centromeric to COMT.[8]

Function

The specific function of this protein has yet to be determined; however, it has been speculated to play a role in transcriptional regulation and/or chromatin and histone metabolism.[8]

Research done by Salomé Adam, Sophie E. Polo, and Geneviève Almouzni indicate that HIRA proteins are involved in restarting transcription after UVC damage.[9] Function of HIRA gene can be effectively examined by siRNA knockdown based on an independent validation.[10]

Clinical significance

It is considered the primary candidate gene in some haploinsufficiency syndromes such as DiGeorge syndrome, and insufficient production of the gene may disrupt normal embryonic development.[8]

Model organisms

Model organisms have been used in the study of HIRA function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Hiratm1a(EUCOMM)Wtsi[15][16] was generated as part of the International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists.[17][18][19]

Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.[13][20] Twenty two tests were carried out on mutant mice and two significant abnormalities were observed.[13] No homozygous mutant mice survived until weaning. The remaining tests were carried out on heterozygous mutant adult mice and a decreased leukocyte cell number was recorded in male animals.[13]

Interactions

HIRA has been shown to interact with HIST1H2BK.[21]
