The blue highlighted line shows the location of the c10orf35 gene on Chromosome 10.

Chromosome 10 open reading frame 35 (c10orf35) is a gene that in humans, encodes for a protein-binding[1], transmembrane[2] protein. The protein contains the domain of unknown function 4605 (DUF4605)[1] which belongs to the protein family pfam15378[3]. This gene is located at locus 10q22.1[1].

General Characteristics

edit

The physical properties of the c10orf35 protein were analyzed, and the molecular weight was predicted to be 13.2 kdal[4]. The isoelectric point was also predicted to be 11.5[4]. The properties of DUF4605 were also analyzed, and the molecular weight was predicted to be 6.0 kdal[4]. The isoelectric point was predicted to be 6.9[4], which is significantly less basic than the full protein.

Protein Properties and Structure

edit
 
This image gives a predicted image of the main secondary structure features, conserved regions, and the post-translational modification site.

This protein includes a higly conserved region between amino acids 1 and 19 discovered by MSA[5]. DUF 4605 is located between amino acids 62 and 92 [1]. The secondary structure of the c10orf35 protein was predicted to consist of a β-sheet between amino acids 3 and 5[6], an α-helix between 61 and 72[6], and a transmembrane α-helix between 92 and 112[7]. The serine in position 62 can be phosphorylated to form a phosphoserine group[7].

Homology

Paralogs

edit

The protein of interest has a similar, paralogous domain found in c4orf32[8], which is conserved in mammals, birds, very few reptiles, and one amphibian[9].

Orthologs

edit

The protein coded for by c10orf35 has many orthologs found mainly in mammals, reptiles, few amphibians, one fish, and one invertebrate[10]. Based on a multiple sequence alignment between representative orthologs, DUF 4605 and a second, highly conserved region was determined[5].

Clinical Significance

edit

Expression

edit
 
This image shows the expression of the c10orf35 protein in various human tissues[11].

The c10orf35 protein has expression over the 75th percentile in the brain, spinal chord, and male reproductive organs[12]. Within the male reproductive system, the RNA is found within the testis and prostate, while the protein is expressed in the epididymis[13]. In the brain, the RNA is found in the cerebral cortex, while the protein is expressed ubiquitously throughout the brain[13].
