TRAPPC14

In humans, MAP11 is located in the long arm of human chromosome 7 (7q22.1), and is on the negative (antisense) strand. Genes located around C7orf43 include GAL3ST4, LAMTOR4, GPC2. In humans, C7orf43 has 9 detected common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), all of which are located in non-coding regions and thus do not affect amino acid sequence.{{cite web|title=C7orf43 UCSC Genome Browser|url=https://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?db=hg19&position=chr7%3A99752043-99756344&hgsid=425900353_0eliIFw5QAaPOZHrcvacoQqh5LME|website=UCSC Genome Browser|access-date=1 May 2015}}

MAP11 has one promoter region upstream of its transcription site, as predicted by Genomatix.

The human protein MAP11 has an isoelectric point of 8.94. MAP11 also has a glycine-rich region spanning amino acids 54 through 134.{{cite web|title=Uncharacterized protein C7orf43 [Homo sapiens]|url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/protein/Q8WVR3.2|website=NCBI Protein|access-date=8 May 2015}} Analysis using the SAPS tool from the SDSC Biology Workbench showed this glycine-rich region to not be conserved in terms of specific glycine residue positions, but is well conserved in overall glycine content in mammals and reptiles, although not in bony fishes.{{cite journal | vauthors = Brendel V, Bucher P, Nourbakhsh IR, Blaisdell BE, Karlin S | title = Methods and algorithms for statistical analysis of protein sequences | journal = Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America | volume = 89 | issue = 6 | pages = 2002–2006 | date = March 1992 | pmid = 1549558 | pmc = 48584 | doi = 10.1073/pnas.89.6.2002 | publisher = Proc.

C7orf43 is predicted to have no signal peptide in its first 70 amino acid residues. However, it is predicted to have a vacuolar targeting motif starting at residue 258 in the human protein.{{cite journal | vauthors = Nakai K, Horton P | title = PSORT: a program for detecting sorting signals in proteins and predicting their subcellular localization | journal = Trends in Biochemical Sciences | volume = 24 | issue = 1 | pages = 34–36 | date = January 1999 | pmid = 10087920 | doi = 10.1016/s0968-0004(98)01336-x }} This vacuolar targeting motif is shown to be conserved throughout mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians, and bony fishes.

The MAP11 protein has no paralogs in humans. However, C7orf43 orthologs can be found to be highly conserved in mammals, reptiles, and several species of bony fishes. C7orf43 is also conserved in birds, although several bird species lack parts of the N-terminus.{{cite web | url = http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi | title = BLAST: Basic Local Alignment Search Tool | work = Conserved Domain Database | publisher = National Center for Biotechnology Information | access-date =2015-03-01}} No C7orf43 orthologs can be found outside the animal kingdom. The following table lists representative C7orf43 orthologs across multiple animal classes.

C7orf43 has three phosphorylated sites, Ser 517, Thr 541 and, Ser 546. All three sites are relatively well-conserved throughout mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians, and bony fishes. The protein has no predicted N-myristoylation, as it has no N-terminal glycine.{{cite web|title=Myristoylator|url=http://web.expasy.org/myristoylator/|website=ExPASy Bioinformatics Resource Portal|access-date=9 May 2015}} However, C7orf43 is predicted to have one N-acetylation on a serine residue at the N-terminus.{{cite web|title=NetAcet 1.0 Server|url=http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/NetAcet/|website=CBS|access-date=9 May 2015}}

The secondary structure of C7orf43 is yet to be determined. However, C7orf43 is predicted to have no transmembrane domain and to eventually be secreted from the cell.{{cite web|title=Transmembrane Topology|url=http://phobius.sbc.su.se/|website=Phobius|publisher=Stockholm Bioinformatics Centre|access-date=1 May 2015}}{{cite web|title=SOSUI|url=http://harrier.nagahama-i-bio.ac.jp/sosui/sosui_submit.html|website=Classification and Secondary Structure Prediction of Membrane Proteins|publisher=Mitaku Group}} An analysis using the PELE tool from SDSC Biology Workbench predicted mostly beta sheets and random coils that are conserved throughout the strict orthologs. Similarly conserved alpha helix motifs have been predicted, one near the N-terminus and one near the C-terminus.

While no studies have focused on the characterization of C7orf43, several large-scale screenings have revealed information related to C7orf43 function. A study using FLAG affinity purification mass spectrometry (AP-MS) to profile protein interactions in the Hippo signaling pathway identified C7orf43 as one of the interacting proteins.{{cite journal | vauthors = Couzens AL, Knight JD, Kean MJ, Teo G, Weiss A, Dunham WH, Lin ZY, Bagshaw RD, Sicheri F, Pawson T, Wrana JL, Choi H, Gingras AC | title = Protein interaction network of the mammalian Hippo pathway reveals mechanisms of kinase-phosphatase interactions | journal = Science Signaling | volume = 6 | issue = 302 | pages = rs15 | date = November 2013 | pmid = 24255178 | doi = 10.1126/scisignal.2004712 | s2cid = 206672249 }} C7orf43 was found to interact with angiomotin-like protein 2 (AMOTL2), also known as Leman Coiled-Coil Protein (LCCP), a regulator of Hippo signaling.{{cite web|title=Q9Y2J4 - AMOL2_HUMAN|url=https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q9Y2J4|website=UniProt|access-date=30 April 2015}} AMOTL2 is also known to be an inhibitor of Wnt signaling, a pathway with known associations to cancer development, and to be a factor for angiogenesis, a process essential to tumour maintenance and metastasis.

Several studies have linked C7orf43 to carcinomic events. Other studies have also linked C7orf43 to carcinomic events. A large-scale yeast two-hybrid experiment identified C7orf43 to be interacting with transmembrane protein 50A (TMEM50A), also known as cervical cancer gene 9 or small membrane protein 1 (SMP1).{{cite journal | vauthors = Stelzl U, Worm U, Lalowski M, Haenig C, Brembeck FH, Goehler H, Stroedicke M, Zenkner M, Schoenherr A, Koeppen S, Timm J, Mintzlaff S, Abraham C, Bock N, Kietzmann S, Goedde A, Toksöz E, Droege A, Krobitsch S, Korn B, Birchmeier W, Lehrach H, Wanker EE | title = A human protein-protein interaction network: a resource for annotating the proteome | journal = Cell | volume = 122 | issue = 6 | pages = 957–968 | date = September 2005 | pmid = 16169070 | doi = 10.1016/j.cell.2005.08.029 | hdl-access = free | s2cid = 8235923 | hdl = 11858/00-001M-0000-0010-8592-0 }}{{cite web|title=Q7RU07 - Q7RU07_HUMAN|url=https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q7RU07|website=UniProt|access-date=8 May 2015}}{{cite web|title=TMEM50A transmembrane protein 50A [ Homo sapiens (human) ]|url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/23585|website=NCBI Gene|access-date=9 May 2015}} While the exact function of TMEM50A is unknown, it has been associated with cervical cancer.
