PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Hydrophobic
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • N-terminus, situated in the cytosol
  • BRICHOS domain, of approximately 100 amino acids , suggested to act as a chaperone that targets the SFTPC region of proSFTPC and prevents its aggregation while assisting its safe membrane insertion as a TM helix
  • conjugated GlycoP

    basic FUNCTION
  • enhancer the surface tension-lowering properties of surfactant lipides
  • SFTPB, and SFTPC proteins promote the formation of proteolipid channels in which lipid molecules are functionally involved
  • CELLULAR PROCESS

    INTERACTION

    small molecule
    protein
  • DNAJB9, DNAJC10 promote turnover of misfolded SFTPC and this activity is dependent on their ability to stimulate HSPA5 ATPase activity
  • ER lumenal domain of MKS3 interacted with a complex that included mutant SFTPC and associated chaperones, whereas the region predicted to encode the transmembrane domains of MKS3 interacted with cytosolic VCP
  • role of JNK signaling in mediating SFTPC BRICHOS-induced cytokine release, and provide a link between SFTPC BRICHOS mutants and proinflammatory cytokine signaling
  • functional cooperation between surfactant proteins SFTPB and SFTPC may be required to sustain a proper compression-expansion dynamics in the presence of physiological proportions of cholesterol
