C16orf86

Uncharacterized protein C16orf86 is a protein in humans that is encoded by the C16orf86 gene.[5] It is mostly made of alpha helices and it is expressed in the testes, but also in other tissues such as the kidney, colon, brain, fat, spleen, and liver.[5] For the function of C16orf86, it is not well understood, however it could be a transcription factor in the nucleus that regulates G0/G1 in the cell cycle for tissues such as the kidney, brain, and skeletal muscles as mentioned in the DNA microarray data below in the gene level regulation section.

Function

edit

C16orf86 protein function is still not well understood, however, based on the DNA microarray data and the post-translational modifications data below, this protein could be a transcription factor in the nucleus that regulates G0/G1 in the cell cycle for tissues such as the kidney, brain, and skeletal muscles.

Localization

edit

Tissue

edit

C16orf86 has tissue expression high in the testes along with expression in regions such as the kidney, colon, brain, fat, spleen, liver.[5]

C16orf86 microarray data was found using NCBI UniGene and going to GeoProfiles for C16orf86.[6] This data below shows C16orf86 tissue expression patterns for cell cycle regulation in kidney cells, colon cancer cells, and adipose tissue.

This DNA microarray figure below was done on MIF deficient cells and control cells using cDNA.[7][8] Results showed that the MIF cytoplasmic protein is a regulator for promoting cell proliferation and cell cycle progression in kidney cells, for example, HEK293.[7][8][9] When MIF is inhibited, P53 blocks cell cycle of G1/S phase progression. Also, inhibition of E2F and AP1 and activation of P53 contribute to cell cycle regulators that result in cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase in MIF cells. These are transcription factors in the C16orf86 promoter. E2F is important for cell cycle progression with AP1 and these are blocked by MIF and P53 takes over. C16orf86 could be important in cell cycle progression in the kidney, where it is expressed in the tissues.

 
This DNA microarray figure was done on MIF deficient cells and control cells using cDNA.[7][8] Results showed that there was an increase in gene expression for C16orf86 in MIF depleted kidney cells compared to the control of kidney cells.[7][8][9]

This DNA microarray figure below shows purified T98G Glioblastoma Cells that were cycled, G0 arrested, or released into S phase for 10 to 16 hours.[10][11] The researchers tested to see how the mechanism of PRB, p107, and p130 represses the E2F target genes and how P130 complex interacts with Dp, RB like, and other E2F transcription factors to help module DREAM in cell cycle arrest.[12] The results showed that the E2F4 along with P130 and other transcription factors mediate the repression of the cell cycle from G1 cell to G0. If there is activation, S phase is going to bind E2F1/2/3 with other transcription factors to activate transcription in the cell cycle.[12] C16orf86 could be important in cell cycle progression in the brain due to the E2F4 and the E2F1/2/3 transcription factors being located in its promoter sequence.

 
This DNA microarray figure shows purified T98G Glioblastoma Cells that were cycled, G0 arrested, or released into S phase for 10 to 16 hours.[10][11] The results showed change in gene expression for C16orf86 in glioblastoma cells that are in G0/G1.[10][11][12]

This DNA microarray experiment below uses the idea of Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip arrays with GWAS to figure out the DNA methylation profiles at day 3, day 8, and day 15 for skeletal myoblasts.[13][14] This DNA methylation at day 3, day 8, and day 15 for skeletal myoblasts profiles were used to study myogenic cell differentiation.[15] The results showed that methylation patterns do indeed affect myogenic cell differentiation. One of the transcription factors tested in this experiment in particular, as pertaining to one of the transcription factors in the experiment, MYF6, it is a transcription factor that is located in C16orf86 promoter.[15] This transcription factor are supposed to be down-regulated during muscle cell differentiation.[15] This can be seen when first introduced with the stimulus and never being able to reach its top peak. This could mean that C16orf86 could be muscle cell differentiation in skeletal myoblast cells.[15]
