Protein HIRA is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HIRA gene.[3][4][5][6] This gene is mapped to 22q11.21, centromeric to COMT.[6]

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.[6]

Research done by Salomé Adam, Sophie E. Polo, and Geneviève Almouzni indicate that HIRA proteins are involved in restarting transcription after UVC damage[7]

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.[6]

Model organisms

Model organisms have been used in the study of HIRA function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Hiratm1a(EUCOMM)Wtsi[12][13] 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.[14][15][16]

Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.[10][17] Twenty two tests were carried out on mutant mice and two significant abnormalities were observed.[10] 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.[10]

Interactions

HIRA has been shown to interact with HIST1H2BK.[18]
