Uncharacterized protein chromosome 7 open reading frame 61 is an asperigine-poor protein in humans encoded by the c7orf61 gene. The protein function is relatively unknown and is highly conserved in mammals.

Gene

edit

Locus

edit

C7orf61 is located on the reverse (or negative) DNA strand and is situated in chromosome 7 (7q22.1) from base pairs 100,456,615-100,464,271 - roughly 7,6547 bp. [3] It has a total of 3 exons and lacks isoforms.

mRNA

edit

The mRNA is approximately 1019 bp and belongs to domain of unknown function 4703 (PFAM15775).[4]

Protein

edit

In humans, the protein contains a total of 206 amino acids.[3] The protein's molecular weight is 23.71 kDa and it's isoelectric point is 10.41.[5] DUF4703 is positioned 22-206aa of the protein.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).

Composition

edit

The amino acid composition of C7orf61 comprises of high frequencies in leucine, serine, and charged valine.[6] The protein has an unusual low frequency in asperigine, making it an asperiginine-deficient protein [6], and contains higher frequences of salt-bridge formations between glutamic acid, aspartic acid, lysine, and arginine.[6]

Characteristics and Structure

edit

The consent within secondary structure prediction tools CFSSP[7], SSPRED[8], and GOR4 [9] is that the protein's secondary structure consist mainly of α-helices (51.2%), with significant amounts of coiling (38.2%) and smaller fragments of beta strands (10.3%).

Post-translational modifications

edit

C7orf61 has several post-translation modification sites, most of which involve serine/threonine kinases - protein kinase C, Casein kinase II, DNA-dependent protein kinase, and Cyclin-dependent kinase 1. It is predicted to contain a Biparte nuclear localization signal (NLS_BP), a leucine-rich variant domain (LRV), and bacterial Ig-like domain (BIG-1).[11]

Subcellular Localization

edit

C7orf61 does not contain any trans-membrane domains or signal peptides.[12][13] The protein is predicted to be localized in the Mitochondia, with little indication of extracellular activity. [14][15] Expanded analysis of amino acid sequence KFFRWVRRAWQRIISWVF near the N-terminal suggests the presence of a mitochondrial targeting signal. [16]

Gene Regulation

edit

C7orf61 has high levels of expression in the testis and lower levels in the brain and connective tissues.[17] Through the assessment of microarray experiments available on NCBI Geo, it's inferred that c7orf61 is under negative regulation. [18]

Homology

edit

C7orf61 does not have any paralogs. Analysis via NCBI tool BLASTt[19] found the gene to be highly conserved in mammals and could not be traced farther back than 160 MYA. The following table contains a list of orthologs found in several mammalian sub-classes - this is not a comprehensive list for the proteins orthology.
