Proteasome assembly chaperone 1 (PSMG1)

The protein contains 288 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 32854 Da.

 

Chaperone protein which promotes assembly of the 20S proteasome as part of a heterodimer with PSMG2. The PSMG1-PSMG2 heterodimer binds to the PSMA5 and PSMA7 proteasome subunits, promotes assembly of the proteasome alpha subunits into the heteroheptameric alpha ring and prevents alpha ring dimerization.

CLONING

By searching an EST database for genes between markers D21S343 and D21S268 in Down syndrome (190685) critical region 2, Vidal-Taboada et al. (1998) identified DSCR2, which they termed C21LRP (chromosome 21 leucine-rich protein). The deduced 288-amino acid DSCR2 protein contains 2 transmembrane helices. Northern blot analysis detected high expression of a 1.3-kb DSCR2 transcript in testis and in the Jurkat leukemia cell line. RT-PCR analysis detected DSCR2 mRNA in brain, colon, leukocytes, breast, and testis, as well as in all fetal tissues tested. Vidal-Taboada et al. (2000) cloned the mouse Dscr2 gene and found that it is widely expressed in adult mouse tissues and throughout all stages of mouse embryo development.

GENE FUNCTION

Hirano et al. (2005) reported 2 chaperones designated proteasome-assembling chaperone-1 (PAC1) and PAC2 (609702), that are involved in the maturation of the mammalian 20S proteasomes. PAC1 and PAC2 associate as heterodimers with proteasome precursors and are degraded after formation of the 20S proteasome is completed. Overexpression of PAC1 or PAC2 accelerates the formation of precursor proteasomes, whereas knockdown by short interfering RNA impairs it, resulting in poor maturation of 20S proteasomes. Furthermore, Hirano et al. (2005) showed that the PAC complex provides a scaffold for alpha ring formation and keeps the alpha rings competent for the subsequent formation of half-proteasomes. Thus, Hirano et al. (2005) concluded that their results identify a mechanism for the correct assembly of 20S proteasomes.

MAPPING

Vidal-Taboada et al. (1998) identified the DSCR2 gene on chromosome 21q22.3. ... More on the omim web site
