Opa-interacting protein 5

Protein function and interaction

OIP5 binds the outer membrane protein OpaP from Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Williams et al., 1998 PMID: 9466265).

OIP5 is a potential binding partner of Lamina-associated polypeptide 2 alpha (LAP2a). LINT-25 (0IP5) is upregulated during G1 phase of cell proliferation and upon cell cycle exit during quiescence, senescence and differentiation. The upregulation of LINT-25 is accompanied by its translocation into heterochromatin foci, also called chromocenters, which may be involved in chromatin reorganization during cell cycle exit (Naetar et al., 2007 PMID: 17284516).
