CLONING

Using MIRK (DYRK1B; 604556) as bait in a yeast 2-hybrid screen of a human skeletal muscle cDNA library, Lim et al. (2002) identified PCBD2, which they called DCOHM, encoding a deduced 103-amino acid protein. The DCOHM protein shares 78% sequence identity with DCOH (PCBD1; 126090). Rose et al. (2004) identified the mouse homolog and determined the high-resolution crystal structure of Dcoh2. Dcoh1 and Dcoh2 dimers adopt the same fold, and their structural differences are confined largely to the protein surfaces and tetramer interface.

GENE FUNCTION

Using coimmunoprecipitation studies and GST pull-down assays, Lim et al. (2002) confirmed the interaction of MIRK and DCOHM. DCOH stabilizes HNF1-alpha (142410) as a dimer and enhances its transcriptional activity. Using a reporter gene construct, Lim et al. (2002) showed that DCOHM has a similar activity. In GST pull-down assays, Lim et al. (2002) found that DCOHM, MIRK, and HNF1-alpha form a complex, and that a direct interaction between MIRK and HNF1-alpha can occur in the absence of DCOHM. Lim et al. (2002) concluded that MIRK binds to DCOHM in a DCOHM/HNF1-alpha tetramer, enabling it to bind and phosphorylate HNF1-alpha. Rose et al. (2004) compared the properties of mouse Dcoh1 with those of Dcoh2. Like Dcoh1, Dcoh2 forms a tetramer, displays pterin-4-alpha-carbinolamine dehydratase activity, and binds Hnf1-alpha in vitro and in vivo. Deletion mutant experiments demonstrated that Dcoh2 binds to the N-terminal dimerization domain of Hnf1-alpha. Unlike the hyperstable Dcoh1 tetramer, Dcoh2 readily disproportionates and forms a 2:2 complex with Hnf1-alpha in vitro. Rose et al. (2004) measured the exchange of monomers in preformed Hnf1-alpha dimers and found that both Dcoh1 and Dcoh2 stabilize Hnf1-alpha dimers.

MAPPING

By sequence analysis, Rose et al. (2004) mapped the DCOHM gene to chromosome 5q31.2. ... More on the omim web site
