FLASH GENE DNA RNA EXPRESSION PROTEIN DISORDER ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

Corresponding disease	ICRD Infantile Cerebellar-Retinal Degeneration OPA9 optic atrophy 9
Location	22q13.1      Physical location : 41.865.128 - 41.924.992
Synonym name	aconitate hydratase
	citrate hydro-lyase
Synonym symbol(s)	ACONM, MGC20605, MGC33908, aconitase, mACON
EC.number	4.2.1.3

DNA

TYPE	functioning gene
STRUCTURE	59.86 kb     18 Exon(s)

10 Kb 5' upstream gene genomic sequence study

regulatory sequence	Promoter
	Binding site
text structure	promoter is contained in a 153-bp 5prime fragment lacking a TATA or CAAT sequence and Sp1 binding to a specific Sp1 site is required for promoter activity while other transcription factors are recruited through protein-protein interactions
	two putative TP53 response elements were identified within the promoter

	intracellular,nucleus

basic FUNCTION	involved in the second step of citric acid cycle
	plays an important role in the unique pathway of citrate accumulation in prostate epithelial cells through its limited activity
	key enzyme in citrate oxidation in prostate epithelial cells, and its abnormal expression has been implicated in tumorigenesis of the prostate
	role for OGG1 and ACO2 in preserving alveolar epithelial cell (AEC) mtDNA integrity, thereby preventing oxidant-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, TP53 mitochondrial translocation, and intrinsic apoptosis
	ACO1 and ACO2 are iron-sulfur proteins and both catalyse conversion of citrate to isocitrate

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	FXN is an iron chaperone protein that protects the aconitase [4Fe-4S]2+ cluster from disassembly and promotes enzyme reactivation
	interacting with TP53 (TP53 downregulates the gene expression of mitochondrial aconitase in prostate carcinoma cells)
