Domain and Motifs by Homology

edit

One domain of unknown function, located from 954aa-1418aa, is 465 amino acids in length.

Secondary Structure

edit

C1orf167 was determined to be rich in alpha helices. No notable regions of beta pleated sheets or coils were predicted.[20] In particular, high confidence was indicated for 42 alpha helices with the longest alpha helix region spanning from residues 450aa to 1182aa. This long alpha helix region includes a significant portion of the conserved DUF which spans 954aa-1418aa.[21][22][23][24][25]

Tertiary Structure

edit

The best-aligned structural analog, generated by I-TASSER, of C1orf167 had a confidence (c-score) score of -0.68 given a range of [-5,2] with higher values indicating a higher confidence.[25] Per Swiss Model, two monomers are predicted to form an alpha helix.[26] Both of the helices are aligned facing outwards with hydrophobic amino acids such as glutamic acid (E) on the interior and asparagine (R), Serine (and lysine (K) on the exterior. Asparagine residues may serve as an important oligosaccharide binding site.[27]

Expression

edit

C1orf167 has high expression in the larynx, blood, placenta, testis and prostate, with the highest expression found in the testis.[28] The promoter GXP_5109290 spans 1507 base pairs on chromosome 1.[29] GXP_5109290 was found to be conserved in the bonobo (Pan Paniscus), gorilla (Gorilla Gorilla Gorilla), mouse (Mus musculus), chimp (Pan Troglodytes), and rhesus monkey (Macaca mulata).[30][31]

According to the EST profile for breakdown by healthy state, the expression levels of C1orf167 were higher than healthy cells for leukemia, head, neck and lung cancers.[28] Based on the results from NCBI GeoProfiles, C1orf167 was found to have increased expression on dendritic cells for patients experiencing Chlamydia pneumoniae infections.
