C19Orf81 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the gene C19Orf81. It is a rarely expressed protein found mainly in the testes, cerebellum and cerebral cortex.[5][6]

Aliases[edit]

Other names for C19Orf81 include chromosome 19 open reading frame 81 and C9J6K1.[7]

Gene[edit]

The gene C19Orf81 is found on chromosome 19 at site 19q13.33 from and is 9862 base pairs in length.[8] It runs in the positive direction. 5 exons compose the 761 base pair (bp) coding sequence of the gene.[9] One isoform gene exists for C19Orf81 that is 951 bp in length (XM_054320844.1).

mRNA expression[edit]

Tissue expression of C19Orf81 mRNA is found in the testes.[5][6] mRNA expression may be regulated by the KMT2D transcription factor, a histone methyltransferase, due to a decrease in C19Orf81 expression when KMT2D is down regulated.[10]

Protein[edit]

The protein, C19Orf81, is 198 amino acids in length and has a molecular weight of 22.4 kDa.[11] It contains one domain of unknown function, DUF4732, that spans from Gly23 to Leu181.[12] Using DeepLoc 2.0,[13] C19Orf81 has cytoplasm and nuclear localization. Predicted post-translational modifications (PTMs) of the protein, shown below, could indicate intercellular location and activity.

Translational sequence for C19Orf81. The start codon is green, the stop codon is red and the legend is color coded accordingly.

Post-translational modifications[edit]

PTMs predicted using Motif Scan[14] and DTU Health Tec[15] bioinformatic tools.

Phosphorylation[edit]

Casein kinase 2 (CK2): Thr31, Thr86, Thr93

Protein kinase C (PKC): Ser46, Ser111, Ser116, Ser154

Casein kinases, specifically CK2, have been shown to play a role in major cell events such as survival metabolism, growth, protein synthesis, proliferation and DNA repair.[16] In an oncogenic setting, CK2 promotes the cancer cell’s growth due to its interference with apoptotic pathways.[17] CK2 also plays a role in spermatogenesis and germ cell growth.[18]

Amidation[edit]

An amidation site on C19Orf81 is positioned at Arg129 in the snippet ARGG. Amidation of a protein is and important modification necessary for signaling and protein interactions.

Structure[edit]

Secondary structure prediction by CFSSP[19] method displays multiple α-helices and a few β-sheets. A similar pattern seen in the tertiary structure of C19Orf81 by AlphaFold,[20][21] is shown below

Function[edit]

Given C19Orf81’s appearance in early stage spermatogonia cells and lower levels in other stages of spermatogenesis, as shown by expression summaries from the Human Protein Atlas,[5][6] phosphorylation by CK2 could indicate a role for C19Orf81 in spermatogonial stem cell differentiation and growth.[22]
