| Name | DCAF12 {ECO:0000303|PubMed:16949367, ECO:0000312|HGNC:HGNC:19911} |
|---|---|
| Function | Substrate-recognition component of a DCX (DDB1-CUL4-X-box) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex of the DesCEND (destruction via C-end degrons) pathway, which recognizes a C-degron located at the extreme C terminus of target proteins, leading to their ubiquitination and degradation (PubMed:16949367, PubMed:16964240, PubMed:29779948). The C- degron recognized by the DesCEND pathway is usually a motif of less than ten residues and can be present in full-length proteins, truncated proteins or proteolytically cleaved forms (PubMed:29779948). The DCX(DCAF12) complex specifically recognizes proteins with a diglutamate (Glu-Glu) at the C-terminus, such as MAGEA3, MAGEA6 and CCT5, leading to their ubiquitination and degradation (PubMed:29779948, PubMed:31267705). Ubiquitination of MAGEA3, MAGEA6 by DCX(DCAF12) complex is required for starvation-induced autophagy (PubMed:31267705). Also directly recognizes the C-terminal glutamate-leucine (Glu-Leu) degron as an alternative degron in proteins such as MOV10, leading to their ubiquitination and degradation. Controls the protein level of MOV10 during spermatogenesis and in T cells, especially after their activation (PubMed:34065512). |
| Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome. Nucleus |
| Tissue Location | Highly expressed in lung cancer tissues and some cancer cell lines (PubMed:18957058). Restricted expression in normal testis (PubMed:18957058). |

Background
This gene encodes a WD repeat-containing protein that interacts with the COP9 signalosome, a macromolecular complex that interacts with cullin-RING E3 ligases and regulates their activity by hydrolyzing cullin-Nedd8 conjugates.

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
