Disease relevance of ELOVL1

  • Function of Hsp70s such as DnaK of the Escherichia coli cytoplasm and Ssc1 of the mitochondrial matrix of Saccharomyces cerevisiae requires the nucleotide release factors, GrpE and Mge1, respectively [1].
 

High impact information on ELOVL1

  • By analysis of a temperature-sensitive yeast mutant, a heat-shock protein in the matrix of mitochondria, mitochondrial hsp70 (Ssc1p), is found to be involved both in translocation of nuclear-encoded precursor proteins across the mitochondrial membranes and in (re)folding of imported proteins in the matrix [2].
  • The major Hsp70 of the mitochondrial matrix (Ssc1 in yeast) is critically important for the translocation of proteins from the cytosol, across the mitochondrial inner membrane, and into the matrix [3].
  • We found that although Ssc1 was competent to facilitate the refolding of denatured luciferase in vitro, both Ssc1--2 and Ssc1--201 showed significant defects, consistent with the data obtained with isolated mitochondria [4].
  • Interactions were observed between MC1R and markers located on SSC1 (p < 0.05) [5].
  • The peak positions on Sus scrofa chromosomes (SSC) were at 49.4 and 88.0 cM (SSC1), 56.0 cM (SSC13), 86.5 cM (SSC15) and 39.8 cM (SSC17), and, on SSC2, at 16.9 cM, in families derived from F1 males only (p < 0.05, except for SSC13, p < 0.01) [5].
 

Biological context of ELOVL1

  • At this improved level of resolution and coverage, porcine chromosomes (SSC) 2, 5, 6, 7, 12, and 14 remain "gene-rich" and homologous to human chromosomes (HSA) 17, 19, and 22, while SSC 1, 8, 11, and X have been confirmed to correspond to the "gene-deserts" on HSA 18, 4, 13, and X [6].
 

Anatomical context of ELOVL1

  • Systems for gene transfer and silencing in human skeletal stem cells (hSSCs, also stromal or mesenchymal stem cells) are important for addressing critical issues in basic hSSC and skeletal biology and for developing gene therapy strategies for treatment of skeletal diseases [7].
