KNOP1

Last updated

Lysine-rich nucleolar protein 1 (KNOP1) is a protein which in human's is encoded by the KNOP1 gene. Aliases for KNOP1 include TSG118, C16orf88, and FAM191A. [1]

Contents

Gene

KNOP1 is located on the negative DNA strand of chromosome 16 at 16p12.3. It spans 15.21 kb, from 19729556 to 19714347 and has 6 exons which are alternatively spliced in the RNA to create three main transcript isoforms. [2] Two of the KNOP1 isoforms, B and C, lack exon 1, shifting the start codon used to the one found in exon 2, and so the proteins encoded by these lack sequence at N-terminus. Isoform C also does not contain exon 4, which encodes the C-terminal DUF5595 domain.

Gene Neighborhood

The genes surrounding KNOP1 are VPS35L which is upstream and IQCK which is downstream of KNOP1. The IQCK gene was identified to be a potential candidate for obsessive-compulsive disorder in a genome-wide association study. [3] The VPS35L encodes the protein VPS35L that acts as a component of the retriever complex. [4]

Gene Expression

Protein

The exact function of KNOP1 is not yet understood it is hypothesized to mimic nucleostemin, a nucleolar protein linked to the proliferation potential of stem cells. [10] The protein is 518 amino acids long, [11] Isoform B is 458 amino acids, [12] and Isoform C is 435 amino acids. [13] It has a molecular weight of 58 kdal and an isoelectric point of 9.92 [14] The protein is rich in lysine [15] and has a lysine-rich region from amino acid 123–355. [16] There is a region of the protein that interacts with the protein ZNF106. [17] Some papers have associated it with the surface of the condensed chromosomes. [18]

KNOP1 has two domains Duf5595 (Not found in isoform C) and SMAP located at the end of the protein. [20] DUF5595 is found in Nude C 80 (Ndc80) proteins which can be found in species such as Homo sapiens. Ndc80 protein complexes are a core component of the end-on attachment sites for kinetochore microtubules. [21] SMAP (Small acidic protein family) is found in eukaryotes, and is approximately 70 amino acids in length. There is a single completely conserved residue G that may be functionally important at G441 [22]

Interacting protein

KNOP1 has been shown to interact with ZNF106 [23] and has been confirmed by Grasberger, H., & Bell, G. I. [24] This study concluded that the rapid downregulation of KNOP1 expression during in vitro terminal differentiation coincides with a loss of nucleolar ZFP106.
