Keratin 5, like other members of the [[keratin]] family, is an intermediate filament protein. These polypeptides are characterized by a 310 residue central rod domain that consists of four [[alpha helix]] segments (helix 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B) connected by three short linker regions (L1, L1-2, and L2).<ref name="Chan" /> The ends of the central rod domain, which are called the helix initiation motif (HIM) and the helix termination motif (HTM), are highly conserved. They are especially important for [[Alpha helix#Stability|helix stabilization]], heterodimer formation, and filament formation.<ref name="Shinkuma">Shinkuma, Satoru, et al.

| section_title =
| summary_text = The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the keratin gene family. The type II cytokeratins consist of basic or neutral proteins which are arranged in pairs of heterotypic keratin chains coexpressed during differentiation of simple and stratified epithelial tissues. This type II cytokeratin is specifically expressed in the basal layer of the epidermis with family member KRT14. Mutations in these genes have been associated with a complex of diseases termed epidermolysis bullosa simplex. The type II cytokeratins are clustered in a region of chromosome 12q12-q13.<ref>{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: KRT5 keratin 5 (epidermolysis bullosa simplex, Dowling-Meara/Kobner/Weber-Cockayne types)| url = http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=3852| accessdate = }}</ref>

== Function ==
 
Keratin 5 (and K14) are expressed primarily in basal [[keratinocyte]]s in the [[epidermis]], specifically in the [[stratified squamous epithelium|stratified epithelium]] lining the skin and digestive tract.<ref name="Atkinson" /><ref name="Ramirez" /> Keratin intermediate filaments make up the cytoskeletal scaffold within epithelial cells, which contributes to the cell architecture and provides the cells with the ability to withstand mechanical, and non-mechanical, [[stress (mechanics)|stresses]].<ref name="Atkinson" /><ref name="Bouameur" /><ref name = "Coulombe">{{cite journal | vauthors = Coulombe PA, Omary MB | title = 'Hard' and 'soft' principles defining the structure, function and regulation of keratin intermediate filaments | journal = Current Opinion in Cell Biology | volume = 14 | issue = 1 | date = Feb 2002 | pmid = 11792552 | doi=10.1016/S0955-0674(01)00301-5 | pages=110–22}}</ref> K5/K14 keratin pairs are able to undergo extensive bundling due to the non-helical tail of K15 acting as a weak [[cross-link]]er at the intermediate filament surface. This bundling increases the [[elasticity (physics)|elasticity]], and therefore the mechanical resilience, of the intermediate filaments.<ref name="Coulombe" />
 
K5/K14 intermediate filaments are anchored to the [[desmosomes]] of basal cells via [[desmoplakin]] and [[plakophilin| plakophilin-1]], connecting the cells to their neighbours.<ref name="Intong">Intong, Lizbeth RA, and Dédée F. Murrell. "Inherited epidermolysis bullosa: new diagnostic criteria and classification." Clinics in dermatology 30.1 (2012): 70-77.</ref> At the [[hemidesmosome]], plectin and BPAG1 associate with transmembrane proteins α6β4 [[integrin]], a type of [[cell adhesion molecule]], and [[Collagen, type XVII, alpha 1|BP180/collagen XVII]], linking K5/K14 filaments in the basal cells to the [[basal lamina]].<ref name="Bouameur" />
 
== Clinical relevance ==
 
=== Epidermolysis bullosa simplex ===
 
Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is an inherited skin blistering disorder associated with mutations in either K5 or K14.<ref name="Atkinson" /><ref name="Liovic">{{cite journal | vauthors = Liovic M, Stojan J, Bowden PE, Gibbs D, Vahlquist A, Lane EB, Komel R | title = A novel keratin 5 mutation (K5V186L) in a family with EBS-K: a conservative substitution can lead to development of different disease phenotypes | journal = The Journal of Investigative Dermatology | volume = 116 | issue = 6 | date = Jun 2001 | pmid = 11407988 | doi = 10.1046/j.1523-1747.2001.01334.x | pages=964–9}}.</ref> EBS-causing mutations are primarily [[missense mutation]]s, but a small number of cases arise from [[insertion (genetics)|insertions]] or [[deletion (genetics)|deletions]].  Their mechanism of action is [[mutation#By effect on function|dominant negative interference]], with the mutated keratin proteins interfering with the structure and integrity of the cytoskeleton.<ref name="Atkinson" /> This cytoskeletal disorganization also leads to a loss of anchorage to the hemidesmosomes and desmosomes, causing basal cells to lose their linkage with the basal lamina and each other.<ref name="Bouameur" /><ref name="Intong" />
 
The severity of EBS has been observed to be dependent upon the position of the mutation within the protein, as well as the type of keratin (K5 or K14) that contains the mutation. Mutations that occur at either of the two 10-15 residue “hotspot” regions located on either end of the central rod domain (HIM and HTM) tend to coincide with more severe forms of EBS, whereas mutations at other spots usually result in milder symptoms. Since the “hotspot” regions contain the initiation and termination sequences of the alpha-helical rod, mutations at these spots usually have a larger effect on helix stabilization and heterodimer formation.<ref name="Shinkuma" /><ref name="Liovic" /> Additionally, mutations in K5 tend to result in more severe symptoms than mutations in K14, possibly due to greater [[Steric effects#Steric hindrance|steric interference]].<ref name="Liovic" />
 
=== Cancer ===
 
Keratin 5 serves as a [[biomarker]] for several different types of cancer, including breast and lung cancers.<ref name="Mulvihill" /><ref name="Van" />
 
[[Basal-like carcinoma|Basal-like breast cancers]] tend to have poorer outcomes than other types of breast cancer due to a lack of targeted therapies.<ref name="Van" /><ref name="Cheang 1">{{cite journal | vauthors = Cheang MC, Voduc D, Bajdik C, Leung S, McKinney S, Chia SK, Perou CM, Nielsen TO | title = Basal-like breast cancer defined by five biomarkers has superior prognostic value than triple-negative phenotype | journal = Clinical Cancer Research | volume = 14 | issue = 5 | date = Mar 2008 | pmid = 18316557 | doi = 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-07-1658 | pages=1368–76}}</ref><ref name="Cheang 2">{{cite journal | vauthors = Cheang MC, van de Rijn M, Nielsen TO | title = Gene expression profiling of breast cancer | journal = Annual Review of Pathology | volume = 3 | pmid = 18039137 | doi = 10.1146/annurev.pathmechdis.3.121806.151505 | year=2008 | pages=67–97}}</ref> These breast cancers do not express [[HER2/neu|human epidermal growth factor receptor-2]] or [[receptor (biochemistry)|receptors]] for [[estrogen]] or [[progesterone]], making them immune to [[trastuzumab| Trastuzumab/Herceptin]] and [[hormone therapy|hormonal therapies]] , which are very effective against other breast cancer types. Due to the fact that K5 expression is only seen in basal cells, it serves as an important biomarker for [[screening (medicine)|screening]] patients with basal-like breast cancers to ensure that they are not receiving ineffective treatment.<ref name="Cheang 1" />
 
Studies on lung cancer have also shown that [[squamous cell carcinoma]]s give rise to tumors with elevated K5 levels, and that they are more likely to arise from [[stem cells]] expressing K5 than from those cells without K5 expression.<ref name="Mulvihill" /> K5 also serves as a marker of [[mesothelioma]], and can be used to distinguish mesothelioma from [[pulmonary]] [[adenocarcinoma]].<ref name="Chu">{{cite journal | vauthors = Chu PG, Weiss LM | title = Expression of cytokeratin 5/6 in epithelial neoplasms: an immunohistochemical study of 509 cases | journal = Modern Pathology | volume = 15 | issue = 1 | date = Jan 2002 | pmid = 11796835 | doi = 10.1038/modpathol.3880483 | pages=6–10}}</ref> Similarly, it can be used to distinguish [[papilloma]], which is positive for K5, from [[papillary carcinoma]], which is K5 negative.<ref>Wang, Yu, et al. "An analysis of Cyclin D1, Cytokeratin 5/6 and Cytokeratin 8/18 expression in breast papillomas and papillary carcinomas." Diagn Pathol 8.8 (2013).</ref> It can also serve as a marker of [[basal cell carcinoma]], [[transitional cell carcinoma]], salivary gland tumors, and [[thymoma]].<ref name="Chu" />
 
The expression of K5 is linked to the intermediate [[phenotype]] of cells undergoing the [[epithelial-mesenchymal transition]] (EMT). This process has a large role in tumor progression and [[metastasis]] since it helps enable tumor cells to travel throughout the body and colonize distant sites. K5 may therefore be useful in the identification of basal cell metastases.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Savagner P | title = The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) phenomenon | journal = Annals of Oncology | volume = 21 Suppl 7 | date = Oct 2010 | pmid = 20943648 | doi = 10.1093/annonc/mdq292 | pmc=3379967 | pages=vii89–vii92}}</ref>

Keratin 5, also known as KRT5, K5, or CK5, is a protein that is encoded in humans by the KRT5 gene.[1][2][3] It dimerizes with keratin 14 and forms the intermediate filaments (IF) that make up the cytoskeleton of basal epithelial cells.[4][5] This protein is involved in several diseases including epidermolysis bullosa simplex and breast and lung cancers.[5][6][7]

Structure

Keratin 5, like other members of the keratin family, is an intermediate filament protein. These polypeptides are characterized by a 310 residue central rod domain that consists of four alpha helix segments (helix 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B) connected by three short linker regions (L1, L1-2, and L2).[4] The ends of the central rod domain, which are called the helix initiation motif (HIM) and the helix termination motif (HTM), are highly conserved. They are especially important for helix stabilization, heterodimer formation, and filament formation.[8] Lying on either side of the central rod are variable, non-helical head and tail regions which protrude from the IF surface and provide specificity to different IF polypeptides.[4]

IF central rods contain heptad repeats (repeating seven residue patterns) of hydrophobic resides that allow two different IF proteins to intertwine into a coiled-coil formation via hydrophobic interactions.[4] These heterodimers are formed between specific pairs of type I (acidic) and type II (basic) keratin. K5, a type II keratin, pairs with the type I keratin K14.[9] The coiled-coil dimers undergo stepwise assembly and combine in an antiparallel manner, forming end-to-end interactions with other coiled-coils to form large 10 nm intermediate filaments.[4][10]

Function

Keratin 5 (and K14) are expressed primarily in basal keratinocytes in the epidermis, specifically in the stratified epithelium lining the skin and digestive tract.[5][9] Keratin intermediate filaments make up the cytoskeletal scaffold within epithelial cells, which contributes to the cell architecture and provides the cells with the ability to withstand mechanical, and non-mechanical, stresses.[5][10][11] K5/K14 keratin pairs are able to undergo extensive bundling due to the non-helical tail of K15 acting as a weak cross-linker at the intermediate filament surface. This bundling increases the elasticity, and therefore the mechanical resilience, of the intermediate filaments.[11]

K5/K14 intermediate filaments are anchored to the desmosomes of basal cells via desmoplakin and plakophilin-1, connecting the cells to their neighbours.[12] At the hemidesmosome, plectin and BPAG1 associate with transmembrane proteins α6β4 integrin, a type of cell adhesion molecule, and BP180/collagen XVII, linking K5/K14 filaments in the basal cells to the basal lamina.[10]

Clinical relevance

Epidermolysis bullosa simplex

Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is an inherited skin blistering disorder associated with mutations in either K5 or K14.[5][13] EBS-causing mutations are primarily missense mutations, but a small number of cases arise from insertions or deletions. Their mechanism of action is dominant negative interference, with the mutated keratin proteins interfering with the structure and integrity of the cytoskeleton.[5] This cytoskeletal disorganization also leads to a loss of anchorage to the hemidesmosomes and desmosomes, causing basal cells to lose their linkage with the basal lamina and each other.[10][12]

The severity of EBS has been observed to be dependent upon the position of the mutation within the protein, as well as the type of keratin (K5 or K14) that contains the mutation. Mutations that occur at either of the two 10-15 residue “hotspot” regions located on either end of the central rod domain (HIM and HTM) tend to coincide with more severe forms of EBS, whereas mutations at other spots usually result in milder symptoms. Since the “hotspot” regions contain the initiation and termination sequences of the alpha-helical rod, mutations at these spots usually have a larger effect on helix stabilization and heterodimer formation.[8][13] Additionally, mutations in K5 tend to result in more severe symptoms than mutations in K14, possibly due to greater steric interference.[13]

Cancer

Keratin 5 serves as a biomarker for several different types of cancer, including breast and lung cancers.[6][7]

Basal-like breast cancers tend to have poorer outcomes than other types of breast cancer due to a lack of targeted therapies.[7][14][15] These breast cancers do not express human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 or receptors for estrogen or progesterone, making them immune to Trastuzumab/Herceptin and hormonal therapies , which are very effective against other breast cancer types. Due to the fact that K5 expression is only seen in basal cells, it serves as an important biomarker for screening patients with basal-like breast cancers to ensure that they are not receiving ineffective treatment.[14]

Studies on lung cancer have also shown that squamous cell carcinomas give rise to tumors with elevated K5 levels, and that they are more likely to arise from stem cells expressing K5 than from those cells without K5 expression.[6] K5 also serves as a marker of mesothelioma, and can be used to distinguish mesothelioma from pulmonary adenocarcinoma.[16] Similarly, it can be used to distinguish papilloma, which is positive for K5, from papillary carcinoma, which is K5 negative.[17] It can also serve as a marker of basal cell carcinoma, transitional cell carcinoma, salivary gland tumors, and thymoma.[16]

The expression of K5 is linked to the intermediate phenotype of cells undergoing the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). This process has a large role in tumor progression and metastasis since it helps enable tumor cells to travel throughout the body and colonize distant sites. K5 may therefore be useful in the identification of basal cell metastases.[18]
