Disease relevance of QSOX1

 

High impact information on QSOX1

  • Q6 is strongly expressed when fibroblasts enter reversible quiescence (Coppock, D. L., Cina-Poppe, D., Gilleran, S. (1998) Genomics 54, 460-468) [3].
  • Homology between egg white sulfhydryl oxidase and quiescin Q6 defines a new class of flavin-linked sulfhydryl oxidases [3].
  • A peptide antibody against Q6 cross-reacts with both the egg white enzyme and a flavin-linked sulfhydryl oxidase isolated from bovine semen [3].
  • These domains apparently underwent a gene fusion event during metazoan evolution to create QSCN6 [1].
  • The expression of decorin and Q6 was very low in SV40-transformed cells (VA13) either in logarithmic growth or at high density, whereas the gene Q10 was expressed more highly in VA13 than in WI38 cells [4].
 

Biological context of QSOX1

 

Anatomical context of QSOX1

  • We have identified a gene, Quiescin Q6 (QSCN6), whose expression is induced just as fibroblasts begin to leave the proliferative cycle and enter quiescence [1].
  • Expression of Q6 and S29 mRNAs in endothelial cells was low in growth phase and high in quiescent cells [9].
  • Consistent with this role in the formation of disulfide bonds, QSOX is typically found in the cell in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi and outside the cell [5].
  • Expression of the secreted FAD-dependent sulfydryl oxidase (QSOX) in the guinea pig central nervous system [10].
  • According to the nucleotide and protein sequence similarities, SOx-3 belonged to the FAD-linked sulfhydryl oxidase family containing the egg white sulfhydryl oxidase, the rat seminal vesicle sulfhydryl oxidase-2 SOx-2, the quiescence-inducible protein hQ6 [11].
 

Associations of QSOX1 with chemical compounds

  • The avian QSOX is the best understood enzymatically: its preferred substrates are peptides and proteins, not monothiols such as glutathione [5].
 

Other interactions of QSOX1

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of QSOX1

  • Sequence analyses show that the egg white oxidase joins human Q6, bone-derived growth factor, GEC-3 from guinea pig, and homologs found in a range of multicellular organisms as a member of a new protein family [3].
