PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • extensive regions in the alpha helical conformation, homologous to the alpha-helical domains of several proteins including tropomyosin, vimentin, keratin and the tail region of myosin heavy chain
  • a putative SH3 binding site is present at the C-terminus, which suggests that CCDC6 might be a cytoskeletal protein
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to C.elegans T09B9.4
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • vdp/uso1/ybl047c family
  • CATEGORY protooncogene

    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in cellular response to DNA damage ATM-mediated, and the impairment of CCDC6 gene function might have a role in thyroid carcinogenesis
  • responsible for the transcriptional repression of CREB1 target genes, promoting HDAC1 activity
  • requires HDAC1 activity to repress CREB1 target gene transcription
  • may be a tumor suppressor in thyroid carcinogenesis inhibiting the CREB1-dependent gene expression

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacts with CREB1 and represses its transcriptional activity by recruiting histone deacetylase 1 and protein phosphatase 1 proteins at the CRE site of the CREB1 target genes
  • reduces CREB1 binding to AREG promoter, and reduces the expression of the AREG gene
  • binds the AREG promoter and participates in the same DNA-bound complex that contains HDAC1
