DNA/RNA

Description The P2RX7 gene is comprised of 13 coding exons.
Transcription The full length transcript is 3135 bp long and 10 alternative splicing isoforms have been identified.
Pseudogene Not known.

Protein

Description The protein has 595 residues amino acids and compromises a 69 kDa calculated molecular weight. However, N-glycosylation in the extracellular loop increases the size of the P2X7 receptor to about 75-85 KDa; the protein is composed successively (from the N- to the C-terminus) by:
  • 25 amino acid intracellular N-terminus
  • 21 amino acid first transmembrane domain
  • 288 amino acid extracellular loop
  • 21 amino acid second transmembrane domain
  • 240 amino acid intracellular C-terminal region
    • Expression In a wide variety of tissues including heart, liver, pancreas, thymus, skeletal muscle and brain, although in brain the expression is mainly restricted to microglia. It also has relevant expression and function in immune cells (mainly in antigen presenting cells, such as monocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells).
    Localisation Mainly is found in the plasma membrane, however it also can be found in intracellular membrane compartments while trafficking to the plasma membrane.
    Function Acts as a ligand gated ion channel, sensing high concentration of extracellular ATP. Responsible for ATP-dependent activation and release of proinflammatory cytokines of the interleukin-1 family, mainly interleukin-1beta, interleukin-18 and interleukin-1alpha, playing a pivotal role in inflammatory responses. Prolonged stimulation of the P2X7 receptor can lead to plasma membrane bleb formation, opening of pannexin-1 dependent membrane pores and eventual cell death.
    Homology With other P2X receptors, with the higher homology with P2RX4. Excluding the unique C-terminal domain, homology is 39-49% with other P2X receptors.

    Mutations

    Germinal The human P2X7 receptor gene is highly polymorphic and more then 260 SNP have been described, only four loss-of-function and one gain-of-function SNP have been described to date:
  • Loss of protein function:
    946 G to A (Arg-307 to Gln)
    1068 G to A (Ala-348 to Thr)
    1513 A to C (Glu-496 to Ala)
    1729 T to A (Ile-568 to Asp)
  • Gain of protein function:
    489 C to T (His-155 to Tyr)
    • Somatic Not known in human.

    Implicated in

    Note
      
    Entity Extrapulmonary tuberculosis
    Note The P2RX7 1513C allele has been strongly associated with extrapulmonary tuberculosis. The allele was associated with a reduced killing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by macrophages.
      
      
    Entity Chronic lymphoid leukemia (CLL)
    Note The 1513C allele of P2RX7 has been associated with the clinical course of patients affected by chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
    There is a possible role for the P2X7 receptor in the susceptibility to familial CLL or, alternately, the 1513C allele may be in linkage disequilibrium with a nearby susceptibility gene.
      
      
    Entity Various cancers, including breast cancer, prostate cancer, papillary thyroid cancer and neuroblastoma.
    Note P2X7 receptor is overexpressed in a variety of cancers (see above). A detailed understanding of the mechanistic contribution mediated by P2RX7 has yet to be established. However, there is substantial evidence that the P2X7 receptor may mediate cell survival and growth by increasing the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation and total intracellular ATP stores. Finally it has been proposed that the P2X7 receptor may be a candidate marker of papillary thyroid cancer.
