Chromosome 4 open reading frame 54 is a protein that in humans is coded by the c4orf54 gene.[1][2] This gene is also known as FOPV (Familial Obliterative Portal Venopathy) and LOC285556. This protein is mostly expressed in the nucleus of muscle cells.[1] Orthologs are found in vertebrates but not invertebrates.

Gene

[edit]

Human chromosome 4 open reading frame 54(c4orf54) is made up of 10451 nucleotides from chromosome 4, map 4q23(chr4:99,636,529-99,657,828), on the complement strand. The mRNA of c4orf54(NM_001354435) is made up of 3 exons.

Gene Expression

[edit]
Human cells treated with c4orf54 rabbit antibodies. Green is target protein and blue is nucleus. Expression is intracellular, in the cytosol with pockets of concentrated expression in the nucleus.

Within cells, c4orf54 is primarily expressed in the nucleus with a.[3][4] An analysis of unknown type of human cells treated with an antibody for c4orf54 showed that there is some expression in the nucleus but is primarily in the cytoplasm.[4] C4orf54 is expressed in muscle cells such as biceps and bone, as well as some glands.[1]

Regulation of expression

[edit]

On the 5'UTR of the c4orf54 gene, there are several transcription factors that have to do with leucine zippers and they bind to the same 11 nucleotides: FOS, BATF::JUN, BATF3, and BATF.

Transcript

[edit]

Exon 2 is the only exon transcribed. There is also the X1 variant of this gene. The 5' UTR is shorter than the main variant.

Protein

[edit]
Expression from four datasets for the human c4orf54 gene from sequencing RNA. The highest RNA expression is from skeletal muscle from all four sets but the results vary.
C4orf54 mRNA expression using microarray data on patients with normal tissues. The tissues with highest expression are from the cervix, lymph nodes, skin, and thyroid.
C4orf54 mRNA expression using microarray data on patient biceps with infantile-onset Pompe disease.The control samples have higher levels of expression than those with Pompe disease.
C4orf54 mRNA expression using microarray data on patient bone biopsies before and after surgery with Endogenous Cushing’s Syndrome. Expression is slightly increased overall post-surgery.
C4orf54 mRNA expression using microarray data on patients with SOX11 depletion. The control has significantly higher expression.

C4orf54 human protein is made up of 1793 amino acids. This unmodified form has a predicted molecular weight of approximately 190 kDal and a predicted isoelectric point of 9.11. This mass is concurrent with results from OMIM. The more enriched protein compared to other human proteins was serine(12.9%) and the pattern of serine then threonine was also highly enriched comparatively at 19.1%. This aligns with the results found from Motif Scan that the amino acid sequence is serine rich from amino acids 237 to 312. There is significant expression in smooth muscle tissue. There is a domain of unknown function.

Post-translational modifications

[edit]

The c4orf54 protein is myristylated with over 20 predicted sites.[5] There is also significant phosphorylation with 2 experimentally proven sites and over 50 predicted sites.[2] One methylation site was found experimentally.

Structure

[edit]

An analysis of the structure using Alpha Fold shows both alpha helices and beta sheets with 70% or more model confidence.[6] The alpha helices have an overall higher higher model confidence.

Function

[edit]

FOPV has been found to interact with 3 other proteins: BTF3, CUL4A, and KRAS.[7] This protein may have lethal interactions with the Ras Oncogene.[8] There may be an association between mutations in the FOPV gene and Obliterative portal venopathy which is lesions in portal vein branches in the liver.[9]

Orthologs

[edit]

C4orf54 was found in vertebrates but not invertebrates. The most distant species found using NCBI BLAST with protein c4orf54 was Petromyzon marinus, the sea lamprey, which had the last common ancestor with humans around 600 million years ago with a sequence identity of 26.3%. This is also an estimate of when the c4orf54 gene emerged. The closest non primate relative is from about 87 million years ago with a sequence identity similarity to the human protein of 86.6%.
