Disease relevance of PCP1

 

High impact information on PCP1

 

Biological context of PCP1

  • Mutations in the catalytic domain lead to complete loss of Pcp1p function [5].
  • Sequence comparisons show that the protein contains zinc finger motifs and shares weak homologies with the Drosophila couch potato gene, which serves as a transcriptional regulator, indicating that PCP1 activates a silent endogenous sucrose uptake system [6].
  • We have characterized a novel protein, RNA-binding domain-1 (RBD-1), that is involved in ribosome biogenesis [4].
  • Pcp1p overexpression causes chromosome missegregation, multiple mitotic spindle fragments, and multiple abnormal SPB-like structures, a phenotype remarkably similar to that of many human carcinoma lines, which exhibit chromosome and spindle defects, and supernumerary centrosomes [7].
 

Anatomical context of PCP1

  • Maternal RBD-1 in the fertilized egg disappears immediately after cleavage starts, whereas zygotic RBD-1 first appears in late embryos and is localized in the nucleolus in most cells, although zygotic transcription of pre-rRNA is known to be initiated as early as the one-cell stage [8].
 

Associations of PCP1 with chemical compounds

  • In this paper, we show that ugo2 mutants are defective in PCP1, a gene encoding a rhomboid-related serine protease [5].
  • One of these cDNAs (PCP1) enabled efficient growth of the mutant yeast strain and mediated uptake of radiolabeled sucrose [6].
  • Disruption of the SPE2 gene encoding S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase, which catalyzes an essential step in polyamine biosynthesis, upregulated the initial velocity of spermidine uptake in wild-type cells as well as in the polyamine transport-deficient pcp1 mutants [9].
 

Other interactions of PCP1

  • Our study demonstrates that Pcp1p is required for the processing of Mgm1p and controls normal mitochondrial shape and mtDNA maintenance by producing the 90 kDa form of Mgm1p [5].
  • RBD-1, a nucleolar RNA-binding protein, is essential for Caenorhabditis elegans early development through 18S ribosomal RNA processing [8].
  • RBD-1 is the Caenorhabditis elegans homolog of Mrd1p, which was recently shown to be required for 18S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) processing in yeast [8].
