We have identified LASS2, a previously unknown human homologue of the yeast longevity assurance gene LAG1. The LASS2 transcript is highly expressed in liver and kidney, which is very different from the expression of the previously identified human LAG1 homologue LAG1Hs-1. Radiation hybrid mapping studies indicated that LASS2 is located on chromosome 1q11. Yeast two-hybrid screening and glutathione S-transferase pull-down assays showed that the LASS2 protein interacts with several membrane-associated receptors or transporters. Furthermore, LASS2 protein was able to inhibit the colony formation of human hepatoma cells in vitro, which suggests that this gene may be involved in the regulation of cell growth.
