Predicted protein structure of C21orf62. The highest confidence prediction is at the red end of the structure, and the lowest confidence prediction is at the blue end of the structure.
Figure 1.[1]

C21orf62 is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the C21orf62 gene.[2] C21orf62 is found on human chromosome 21, and it is thought to be expressed in tissues of the brain and reproductive organs.[3] Additionally, C21orf62 is highly expressed in ovarian surface epithelial cells during normal regulation, but is not expressed in cancerous ovarian surface epithelial cells.[3]

Gene

Common aliases of C21orf62 are C21orf120, PRED81, and B37.[2] C21orf62 is located on chromosome 21 in humans, and is specifically at the q22.11 position.[4] The C21orf62 gene is 4132 base pairs in length and contains five exons.[2]

mRNA[2]

The mRNA sequence of C21orf62 in humans has one known isoform. This isoform is called uncharacterized protein C21orf62 isoform X1. This isoform is 458 base pairs, or 104 amino acids, in length, and it is significantly shorter than the most observed sequence of C21orf62 in humans. In addition to having an isoform, C21orf62 also has splice variants. All splice variants encode the same gene, but the differences in splice variant sequences occur in the 5' untranslated region of the mRNA sequence.

Protein

General protein characteristics

The C21orf62 protein in humans has a sequence that is 219 amino acids in length.[5] The primary sequence of C21orf62 in humans has a molecular weight of 24.9 kDa and an isoelectric point of 8.[6][7] When it's cleavable signal peptide, which spans amino acids 1-19, is removed, it has a molecular weight of 22.8 kDa and an isoelectric point of 7.8.[6][7][8][9]

Protein composition

C21orf62 in humans has higher cysteine and lower valine concentrations than expected compared to other human proteins. This trend, as showed in Table 1, is the same for other mammals. It does not, however, occur in taxa other than mammalia.[10]

Protein structure

The protein structure of C21orf62 in humans consists of a combination of alpha helices and beta sheets.[11][12] Figure 1 shows a predicted structure of the protein.[1]

Post-translational modifications

C21orf62 has a myristoylation site from amino acid 26-31.[13] It has a sumoylation site from amino acid 132-135.[13][14] Additionally, it has a nuclear export signal from amino acid 98-104.[15]

Expression

Tissue expression

C21orf62 is expressed in human tissues of the brain and reproductive organs.[2]

Expression level

C21orf62 in humans is moderately expressed in the brain, kidneys, pancreas, prostate, testes, and ovaries.[2][16][17]

Regulation of expression

C21orf62 is expressed during blastocyst, fetus, and adult states of human development.[16] It is overexpressed during some tumor states, including pancreatic, gastrointestinal, germ cell, and glioma tumors.[16]

Function

The specific function of C21orf62 in humans is not yet well understood.[2]

Interacting proteins

C21orf62 is thought to potentially interact with nine other proteins.[18] These interactions are shown in Table 2, and they were found through text mining.

Table 2.[18] Proteins with Evidence of Interaction with C21orf62
Protein Full Name Protein Name Symbol Brief Protein Description[2]
BCL2 Interacting Protein Like BNIPL May function as a bridge molecule that promotes cell death.
Thymosin Beta 4, X-linked Pseudogene 4 TMSB4XP4 Potentially influences actin polymerization.
Synovial Sarcoma X Family Member 4 SSX4 May function as a repressor of transcription, and can be useful targets in cancer vaccine-based immunotherapy.
Crystallin Beta A2 CRYBA2 A major protein in vertebrate eyes that maintains lens transparency and reflective index.
Oral Cancer Overexpressed 1 ORAOV1 A gene that is frequently overexpressed in esophageal squamous cell cancer.
Oligodendrocyte Transcription Factor 1 OLIG1 May be expressed during the time from process extension through membrane maintenance in oligodendrocytes.
PAX3 and PAX7 Binding Protein 1 GCFC1 (PAXBP1) The encoded protein potentially binds to GC-rich DNA sequences. It is suggested that this gene is involved in the regulation of transcription.
Relaxin/Insulin Like Family Peptide Receptor 1 and 2 RXFP1 and RXFP2 Encoded protein is a receptor for the protein hormone relaxin that influences sperm motility and pregnancy.

Clinical significance

C21orf62 over or under expression is linked to some types of cancerous cells and tumors.[3][16]

Homology

Paralogs

There are no known paralogs of C21orf62 in humans at this time.[2]
