C9orf85

Chromosome 9 open reading frame 85, commonly known as C9orf85, is a protein in Homo sapiens encoded by the C9orf85 gene. The gene is located at 9q21.13.[5] When spliced, four different isoforms are formed. C9orf85 has a predicted molecular weight of 20.17 kdal.[6] Isoelectric point was found to be 9.54.[6] The function of the gene has not yet been confirmed, however it has been found to show high levels of expression in cells of high differentiation.[7]

Rate of Molecular Evolution

edit
 
A graph depicting the rate of divergence for the human gene C9orf85 in comparison to Homo sapiens Cytochrome C and Fibrinogen Alpha Chain.

A rate of divergence can be calculated using the molecular clock hypothesis. As observed by the graph, C9orf85 lies between Cytochrome C and Fibrinogen Alpha with a slope leaning more towards Cytochrome C. Therefore, C9orf85 is possibly evolving at a slower rate than most proteins.

Conservation

edit

Multiple Sequence Alignment

edit

A multiple sequence alignment (MSA)[16] was done between the top 15 closely related orthologs to the Homo sapiens C9orf85. 20 amino acids were discovered to be conserved among all 15 sequences at the beginning of the protein sequence; within the first three exons.

In a MSA between distantly related homologs, 5 amino acids were observed to be conserved between exons two and three.

Yet, when running a multiple sequence alignment between Homo sapiens and the extremely distant Bacillus cereus, 53 amino acids are observed to be conserved primarily in the fourth exon.

Cysteine

edit
 
Multiple sequence alignment of C9orf85 showcasing the most significant & conserved cysteines.

The amino acid cysteine appears the most throughout the protein sequence as a conserved amino acids; 8 out of 20 instances. Cysteine 48, 70, 89, 96, and Tryptophan 54 are amino acids conserved in all species type – including vertebrate, invertebrate, fungi, plants, and protists – besides bacteria.

Using the Statistical Analysis of Protein Sequences tool,[6] SAPS, 5 spacings of cysteine were found. Four with the pattern of C-X-X-C—at amino acids 45, 70, 86, and 96—and the fifth spacing at amino acid 89 (CAC). The C-X-X-C pattern is known to be present in metal-binding proteins and oxidoreductases.[17] Additionally, three of the five cysteine spacings were also the top conserved amino acids throughout the most closely related orthologs; C70, C89, and C96.

Localization

edit

Gene Localization in Humans

edit

C9orf85 has been found to be expressed highly in epithelial cells.[18] of the pancreas.[19] Additionally, high levels of expression have been established in the urinary bladder and thymus of the adult human, while expression levels were significant in the intestine of a 20-week-old fetus.[5]

Subcellular Localization

edit

k-NN results predict C9orf85 to be 78.3% nuclear, 8.7% mitochondrial, 8.7% cytoplasmic, and 4.3% vacuolar.[20]

Promoter

edit

C9orf85 has 3 predicted promoters for the gene.[21] The choice promoter was GXG_18858 on the plus strand. Chosen for its large quantity of CAGE tags and its position being furthest upstream. Its start position is 71909780 and its end position is 71911841. It includes 2062 base pairs and has 13 transcripts. The last 500 base pairs of the double stranded promoter is featured below:

Regulation

edit

Transmembrane Domain

edit

Though there is a presence of hydrophobic regions in the protein sequence,[6][23][24] there have been no confirmed transmembrane domains present[25]

Phosphorylation

edit

A protein kinase C phosphorylation site is predicted at amino acid 3-5.[26] There is also a possible CK2 phosphorylation site at amino acid 77-80[26]

SUMOylating

edit

There is one predicted SUMO site at position 23.[27] The result is significant with a p-value of 0.041.

Function

edit

Through the level of expression in various tissue samples, the C9orf85 protein is a regulated gene rather than a constitutive gene.[5]

Additionally, urinary bladder epithelial cells function by altering the immune system of an infection.[28] The thymus is a primary lymphoid organ of the immune system, composed of T cells and epithelial cells. Research has found that the thymus has an increasing role in the development of intestinal immunity[29] Both are an element of the immune system, designed to ensure proper function of the immune system.
