C6orf136 (Chromosome 6 Open Reading Frame 136) is a protein in humans (Homo sapiens) encoded by the C6orf136 gene. The gene is conserved in mammals, mollusks, as well some porifera.[5] While the function of the gene is currently unknown, C6orf136 has been shown to be hypermethylated in response to FOXM1 expression in Head Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) tissue cells.[6] Additionally, elevated expression of C6orf136 has been associated with improved survival rates in patients with bladder cancer.[7] C6orf136 has three known isoforms.

Gene

[edit]

Background

[edit]

C6orf136, also known as DADB-129D20.1, MGC15854, LOC221545, and OTTHUMP00000214979. The gene is a poorly characterized protein coding gene in need of further research. The C6orf136 gene can be accessed on NCBI with accession number NM_001109938.3.

Location

[edit]

C6orf136 is located on the short arm of chromosome 6 (6p21.33), starting at base pair (bp) 30,647,133 and ending at bp 30,653,207. This gene spans 6,074 bit/s on the plus (+) strand and contains a total of 6 exons.[8]

Gene Neighborhood

[edit]

Genes in the neighborhood of C6orf136 are the following: ATAT1, PPP1R10, DHX16, PPP1R18, MDC1, MRPS18B, TUBB, and FLOT1.[8]

mRNA

[edit]

C6orf136 has a total of 3 different isoforms. Isoform 1 is the base version of C6orf136 that encodes for the 315 amino acid protein. Isoform 3 uses an alternate in-frame splice site in the 5' coding region when compared to isoform 1, resulting in isoform 3 being longer than isoform 1. Alternatively, isoform 2 lacks an alternate in-frame exon in the 5' coding region when compared to isoform 1, resulting an isoform 2 being shorter than isoform 1

The bolded region in this sequence indicates a domain of unknown function (DUF2358) found in all three isoforms of C6orf136.

The C6orf136 protein has a molecular weight of 35.8 kD and an isoelectric point of 8.99, making the protein slightly basic and physiological pH.

Domains

[edit]

DUF2358 is a domain of unknown function found within the C6orf136 protein from aa149 to aa274.[10] This domain is highly conserved in the C-terminus region and is evolutionarily conserved from plants to humans.[11] Additionally, a proline rich domain was also predicted from aa29 to aa142 of the human C6orf136 protein.[10]

Structure

[edit]

Secondary Structure

[edit]

The conserved DUF2358 domain of C6orf136 contains an equal mix of alpha helices and beta sheets interspersed in that region.[12][13][14] The N-terminus of the protein contained primarily alpha helices, but was poorly conserved across species.

Tertiary Structure

[edit]

The tertiary structure illustrates a primarily alpha helices in the N-terminus of the protein loosely wound up, followed by a densely packed and folded region correlating to the DUF2358 domain with a mix of alpha helices and beta sheets as determined by I-TASSER.[15][16][17]
