    text
  • in the centrosome during the mitosis
  • expressed in the axoplasm and concentrated at synapses
  • closely co-localized with CEP250 at the proximal ends of centrioles
  • an important protein at the interface between the Golgi apparatus and the membrane trafficking machinery mediated by coatomer (COPI)-coated vesicles, and cytoplasmic component of the nuclear tRNA export machinery
  • basic FUNCTION
  • involved in centrosome-related cellular function
  • involved in intracellular transport processes
  • playing an essential role for neuronal and Purkinje cell survival
  • accessory factor in coatomer I (COPI) coats trafficking and suggest for the first time that alterations in the COPI pathway result in neurodegenerative disease
  • transcriptional regulator, activates transcription of the telomerase reverse transcriptase and DNA polymerase beta genes (Zhao 2005)
  • functions as a centrosome regulator and is involved in DNA damage response, including telomere dysfunction and tumorigenesis (Gong 2009)
  • is required for the maintenance of Golgi morphology
  • conserved N-terminal protein kinase-like domain protein that plays a role in COP1-mediated retrograde protein trafficking in mammalian cells
  • is a key regulator of motor neuron survival
  • functions as a scaffold for key components of COPI coats, and disruption of the scaffolding function of Scyl1 causes tubulation of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC)
  • distributes in the centrosomes and regulates centrosome status under both physiologic and pathologic conditions
  • closely co-localized with CEP250 at the proximal ends of centrioles, and centriolar loading of SCYL1 stimulated by EGF/AKT could displace CEP250, resulting in centrosome splitting
  • is involved in vital intracellular transport processes, which might provide a basis for understanding the molecular mechanism underlying disease states caused by loss of SCYL1
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell cycle, division, mitosis

  • murine neurodegenerative disease mdf (autosomal recessive mouse mutant 'muscle deficient') is caused by a loss-of-function mutation in Scyl1
  • Scyl1(-/-) mice share pathological features with many human neurodegenerative conditions
