- bark [Search on AGR]
Drosophila melanogaster bark beetle (bark) encodes a putative transmembrane scavenger receptor-like protein that is essential for the maturation of septate junctions (SJ). Loss of bark produces cell adhesion defects and mislocalization of SJ core complexes.
- pck [Search on AGR]
Drosophila melanogaster pickel (pck) encodes a transmembrane protein of the Claudin superfamily. It is part of the septate junction (SJ) core complex and essential for SJ morphogenesis and function. The transepithelial barrier function of epithelial tissues is affected in pck mutants.
- Glis1 [Search on AGR]
Homo sapiens GLIS1 is a GLI (MIM 165220)-related Kruppel-like zinc finger protein that functions as an activator and repressor of transcription (Kim et al., 2002 [PubMed 12042312]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
- Adig [Search on AGR]
Homo sapiens ADIG/SMAF1 is an adipocyte-specific protein that plays a role in adipocyte differentiation (Kim et al., 2005 [PubMed 15567149]; Hong et al., 2005 [PubMed 16132694]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
- Cerk [Search on AGR]
Homo sapiens CERK converts ceramide to ceramide 1-phosphate (C1P), a sphingolipid metabolite. Both CERK and C1P have been implicated in various cellular processes, including proliferation, apoptosis, phagocytosis, and inflammation (Kim et al., 2006 [PubMed 16488390]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

Mus musculus PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice die before E6.5-7.5. Heterozygous mice model Zhu-Tokita-Takenouchi-Kim syndrome, with growth retardation, cognitive impairment, skeletal abnormalities, kidney agenesis, hematopoietic abnormalities including leukopenia and immunoglobulin deficiency and impaired erythropoiesis.

- Ctif [Search on AGR]
Homo sapiens CTIF is a component of the CBP80 (NCBP1; MIM 600469)/CBP20 (NCBP2; MIM 605133) translation initiation complex that binds cotranscriptionally to the cap end of nascent mRNA. The CBP80/CBP20 complex is involved in a simultaneous editing and translation step that recognizes premature termination codons (PTCs) in mRNAs and directs PTC-containing mRNAs toward nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). On mRNAs without PTCs, the CBP80/CBP20 complex is replaced with cytoplasmic mRNA cap-binding proteins, including EIF4G (MIM 600495), and steady-state translation of the mRNAs resumes in the cytoplasm (Kim et al., 2009 [PubMed 19648179]).[supplied by OMIM, Dec 2009]
- Senp6 [Search on AGR]
Homo sapiens Ubiquitin-like molecules (UBLs), such as SUMO1 (UBL1; MIM 601912), are structurally related to ubiquitin (MIM 191339) and can be ligated to target proteins in a similar manner as ubiquitin. However, covalent attachment of UBLs does not result in degradation of the modified proteins. SUMO1 modification is implicated in the targeting of RANGAP1 (MIM 602362) to the nuclear pore complex, as well as in stabilization of I-kappa-B-alpha (NFKBIA; MIM 164008) from degradation by the 26S proteasome. Like ubiquitin, UBLs are synthesized as precursor proteins, with 1 or more amino acids following the C-terminal glycine-glycine residues of the mature UBL protein. Thus, the tail sequences of the UBL precursors need to be removed by UBL-specific proteases, such as SENP6, prior to their conjugation to target proteins (Kim et al., 2000 [PubMed 10799485]). SENPs also display isopeptidase activity for deconjugation of SUMO-conjugated substrates (Lima and Reverter, 2008 [PubMed 18799455]).[supplied by OMIM, Jun 2009]
