FLASH GENE DNA RNA EXPRESSION PROTEIN DISORDER ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

PROTEIN

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

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton
	intracellular,nucleus
text	nuclear and cytosolic protein

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

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

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
