28S ribosomal protein S29, mitochondrial, also known as death-associated protein 3 (DAP3), is a

mitoribosome) and plays key roles in translation, cellular respiration, and apoptosis.[7][8][9][10] Moreover, DAP3 is associated with cancer development, but has been observed to aid some cancers while suppressing others.[10][11][12]

Structure

The DAP3 gene encodes a 46 kDa protein located in the lower area of the small mitoribosomal subunit.

P-loop motif that binds GTP and a highly conserved 17-residue targeting sequence responsible for its localization to the mitochondria.[9][11][12][13] Of interest, many of the phosphorylation sites on this protein are highly conserved and clustered around GTP-binding motifs.[9]

Several splice variants were observed in human ESTs that differ largely in the 5’ UTR region.[7][14] Pseudogenes for this gene are also found in chromosomes 1 and 2.[7]

Function

DAP3 is a 28S subunit protein of mitoribosomes and

Clinical significance

As aforementioned, death associated protein 3 (DAP3) has regulatory roles in

cell respiration and apoptosis. Both opposites and cell respiration are important elements of cell death pathways and have underlying mechanistic roles in ischemia-reperfusion injury.[15][16][17]

During a normal

embryonal
development as programmed cell death and accompanies a variety of normal involutional processes in which it serves as a mechanism to remove "unwanted" cells.

DAP3 has been implicated in numerous cancers. Studies demonstrated that DAP3 expression tended to be low to nonexistent in the tumor cells of

hypermethylation of the gene's promoter.[11][12] Moreover, DAP3 expression has been positively correlated with improved cancer prognosis, indicating that the protein combats cancer progression through its proapoptotic function.[11][12] As a result, DAP3 could serve as a potential biomarker to monitor the effectiveness of therapeutic treatments such as chemotherapy.[11]
However, in other cancers, such as
glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and thymoma, DAP3 expression was found to be upregulated.[10][14] Thus, the specific role of DAP3 in various cancers requires further study.[17]
