From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

C6orf10 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the C6orf10 gene.[3][4]C6orf10 is an open reading frame on chromosome 6 containing an uncharacterized protein with accession number NP_006772.[5] C6orf10 is also known as Testis Specific Basic Protein one (TSBP1) and Testis expressed basic protein one.[6] The location of the C6orf10 gene on chromosome 6 is  6p21.32 and its longest known mRNA transcript is 2,194 base pairs long.[7][8] Expression of this gene is highest in the testis but is also seen in other tissue types such as the brain, lens of the eye and the medulla.[9][10][11]  The C6orf10 gene contains 9 different mRNAs with 8 alternatively spliced variants and one unspliced form. Also, four alternative polyadenylation sites have been identified.[9] The C6orf10 protein has three complete isoforms and five partial isoforms.[5] The longest isoform, which is isoform 1 contains 563 amino acids, and is 61495 kDa long.This protein is a part of the Neuromodulin-N superfamily.[12] The C6orf10 protein orthologs are restricted to mammals indicating an evolutionarily newer protein.

Gene[edit | edit source]

[edit]

C6orf10 is located on chromosome 6 at 6p21.32 located on the reverse strand. It is also known as Testis Specific Binding protein 1 (TSBP1) and is 81,390 nucleotides long with 29 total exons. The gene neighborhood includes butyrophilin like 2 (BTNL2)[1], encoding a class II major histocompatibility complex transmembrane protein involved in immunoregulation, NOTCH4[2], a highly conserved, transmembrane protein involved in adjacent cell signaling during development, and HLA-DRA[3], major histocompatibility complex class II transmembrane protein involved in antigen presentation in the immune system.

mRNA Transcript[edit | edit source]

[edit]

C6orf10 contains seven human mRNA splice variants. The most common splice variant in humans is isoform a[4] which is 2194 bp long and contains 22 exons. Isoform X4[5] is the longest isoform at 4480 bp, but is not common in humans. This isoform is more commonly seen in orthologs of the human version of C6orf10.

Protein[edit | edit source]

[edit]

C6orf10 Isoform a[6] is a 563 amino acid long protein and isoform X4[7] is a 607 amino acid protein. C6orf10 isoform a is rich in lysine (K), Glutamine (Q) and Glutamic acid (E) and poor in Histidine (H) and Phenylalanine (F)[8]. Overall, isoform a is a basic protein with an isoelectric point of 9 and a molecular weight of 62,000 kDa[9]. This isoform contains two transmembrane regions near the beginning of the amino acid sequence. The first transmembrane region spans from residue 6 to residue 25 (19 total residues) and has an isoelectric point of 5. The second transmembrane region spans from residue 100 to residue 119 (19 total residues) and has an isoelectric point of 8. Isoform a contains a PTZ00121 domain starting with residue 221 and going until the end of the protein. there are several repetitive sequences within this domain.

Orthologs[edit | edit source]

[edit]

By searching the NCBI BLAST [1]database for protein-protein interactions, it was found that C6orf10 is a protein  only found in mammals. The BLAST database found the highest number of homologs in the Primates, Artiodactyla, and Carnivora. There were only a couple of homologs in the taxonomic orders of Rodentia, Chiroptera, and Perissodactyla. In the orders of Scandentia, Eulipotyphyla, Tubulidentataand sirenia there was only one complete homolog, but a few partial sequences do exist. There were partial protein sequences in Lagomorpha, Dermoptera, and Macroscelidea and there were no orthologs in Diprotodontia, Didelphimorphia, Cetacea, Dasyuromorphia, Pilosa, Monotremata, and Proboscidea. BLAST recovered one potential reptilian homolog in the Tiger snake (Notechis scutatus), however the peptide sequence was much longer than the C6orf10 sequence and there were many gaps.

Cellular Localization[edit | edit source]

[edit]

It is predicted that C6orf10 is localized to the nucleus or the endoplasm due to endoplasmic retention signals and nuclear localization signals.

Gene

[edit]

C6orf10 is located on chromosome 6 at 6p21.32 located on the reverse strand. It is also known as Testis Specific Binding protein 1 (TSBP1) and is 81,390 nucleotides long with 29 total exons.

Composition

[edit]

C6orf10 isoform a is rich in lysine (K), Glutamine (Q) and Glutamic acid (E) and poor in Histidine (H) and Phenylalanine(F)[8]. Isoform a is a basic protein with an isoelectric point of 9 and a molecular weight of 62,000 kDa[9].

This isoform contains two transmembrane regions near the beginning of the amino acid sequence. The first transmembrane region spans from residue 6 to residue 25 (19 total residues) and has an isoelectric point of 5. The second transmembrane region spans from residue 100 to residue 119 (19 total residues) and has an isoelectric point of 8. Isoform a contains a PTZ00121 domain starting with residue 221 and going until the end of the protein. There are several repetitive sequences within this domain.

Secondary Structure

[edit]

C6orf10 consists mostly of alpha helices and random coils. There are only a few regions that contain bets sheets.

Tertiary Structure

[edit]
Highly conserved stem loop structure from C6orf10 isoform a[6]

C6orf10 contains a highly conserved stem loop structure in the 3' UTR from base 100-124.

Subcellular Localization

[edit]

C6orf10 is predicted to be localized to the Nucleus and the Endoplasmic Reticulum. There is a signal peptide cleavage site between amino acid 30 and 31 which includes the first transmembrane domain. This N-terminal region of C6orf10 is likely localized to the endoplasmic reticulum. The C-terminal region of the protein contain two nuclear localization signals from amino acid 489-505 and 513-529 indicating that the section of the protein after the signal peptide cleavage site is localized to the nucleus.

Expression

[edit]

C6orf10 is ubiquitously expressed at low levels in the adult human genome. In adults, expression of this gene is highest in the testis. C6orf10 is expressed at higher levels in fetal and embryonic tissues. This indicates C6orf10 may play a role in development.

Regulation of Expression

[edit]

Transcriptional Regulation

[edit]

C6orf10 has a promoter that is 1206 bases long. This promoter overlaps with the 3' UTR but ends before the first codon. This promoter is fairly well conserved across primates except for a 136 nucleotide region midway through and the end of the promoter region. Primates have insertions at these two regions that humans are missing. This may suggest that these regions of the promoter are not essential to humans.

Transcription Factors

[edit]

C6orf10 transcription is regulated by the binding of many transcription factors to the promoter region. The CCAAT binding protein and TATA box are highly conserved regions that are important in the initiation of transcription. Several of the transcription factors including EH1, NACA,NKX5-2, SIX4, VCR, etc. are involved in developmental pathways.

Protein Interactions

[edit]

Most of the predicted protein interactions with C6orf10 are based solely on text mining and information gathered from genome-wide association studies. The two proteins with the highest interaction scores were Butyrophilin-like protein 2 (BTNL2) and Tetratricopeptide repeat domain containing TTC32. BTNL2 is a negative regulator of T-cell activity and member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. BTNL2 is located in the C6orf10 gene neighborhood. TTC32 is from a protein family of structural repeat motifs that mediate protein-protein interactions in the formation of protein-protein complexes. This may indicate the potential for C6orf10 to interact with another protein for form a complex.

Clinical Significance

[edit]

C6orf10 has been bound to be associated with both neurodegenerative diseases and autoimmune diseases. These associations are mostly obtained from genome wide association studies. Common neurodegenerative diseases associated with C6orf10 include frontotemporal dementia, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. Autoimmune diseases associated with C6orf10 include Rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, Grave's disease and lupus.
