Polymerase I and transcript release factor, also known as Cavin1, Cavin-1 or PTRF, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the PTRF gene. [5] [6]
PTRF (Cavin1) has been shown to be crucial for caveola formation and function. [7] Deformation caveolae promotes the translocation of cavin-1 from caveolae to the nucleus [8]
Termination of RNA polymerase I catalyzed transcription is a 2-step process that involves pausing of transcription elongation and release of both the pre-ribosomal RNA and Pol I from the DNA template. The pausing is mediated by TTF1 and PTRF. [9] [10]
PTRF is a soluble protein containing putative leucine zipper, nuclear localization signal, and PEST domains. [11]
PTRF (Cavin1) forms trimers with Cavin2 and Cavin3 in caveola formation and has been shown to interact with other membrane associating proteins such as EHD2 and caveolins. [12]
