C16orf78

Last updated

Uncharacterized protein C16orf78(NP_653203.1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the chromosome 16 open reading frame 78 gene. [1]

Contents

Gene

The C16orf78 gene(123970) is located at 16q12.1 on the plus strand, spanning 25,609 bp from 49,407,734 to 49,433,342. [2]

mRNA

There is one mRNA transcript (NM_144602.3) and no other known splice isoforms. There are 5 exons, totaling a length of 1068 base pairs. [2]

Protein

Sequence

C16orf78 is 265 amino acids long with a predicted molecular weight of 30.8 kDal and pI of 9.8. [3] It is rich in both methionine and lysine, composed of 6.4% methionine and 13.6% lysine. [4] This methionine richness has been hypothesized to serve as a mitochondrial antioxidant. [5]

Post-Transnational Modifications

There are four verified ubiquitination sites and three verified phosphorylation sites. [6] [7]

Structure

Predictions of C16orf78's secondary structure consist primarily of alpha helices and coiled coils. [9] [10] [11] Phyre2 also predicted C16orf78 is primarily helical, but 253 of 265 amino acids were modeled ab initio so the confidence of the model is low. [12]

Subcellular Localization

C16orf78 is predicted to be localized to the cell nucleus. [13] There is also a predicted bipartite nuclear localization signal. [14]

Expression

C16orf78 has restricted expression toward the testis, with much lower expression in other tissues. [15]

Interaction

C16orf78 has a physical association with DNA/RNA-binding protein KIN17 (NP_036443.1), suggesting C16orf78 may also play a role in DNA repair. [17] C16orf78 was found to be phosphorylated by SRPK1(NP_003128.3) and SPRK2 (AAH68547.1). [6]

Clinical Significance

Deletion of the C16orf78 gene has been identified as a determinant of prostate cancer. [18] A SNP in C16orf78 interacts with a SNP in LMTK2 and is associated with risk of prostate cancer. [19]

Amplification of the C16orf78 gene has been linked to metabolically adaptive cancer cells. [20] A duplication of the C16orf78 gene was associated with at least one case of Rolandic Epilepsy. [21]

Homology

Paralogs

C16orf78 has no known paralogs in humans. [22]

Orthologs

C16orf78 has over 80 orthologs, including animals as distant Ciona intestinalis (XP_002132057.1), which is estimated to have diverged from humans 676 million years ago. [2] [23] C16orf78 has orthologs in many types of mammals, reptiles, bony fish, and even some invertebrates, but has no known orthologs in amphibians or birds. [22] Below is a table with samples of orthologs, with divergence dates from TimeTree and similarity calculated by pairwise sequence alignment. [24]
