About This Section Entrez Gene summary for PRNP : The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored glycoprotein that tends to aggregate into rod-like structures. The encoded protein contains a highly unstable region of five tandem octapeptide repeats. This gene is found on chromosome 20, approximately 20 kbp upstream of a gene which encodes a biochemically and structurally similar protein to the one encoded by this gene. Mutations in the repeat region as well as elsewhere in this gene have been associated with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, fatal familial insomnia, Gerstmann-Straussler disease, Huntington disease-like 1, and kuru. An overlapping open reading frame has been found for this gene that encodes a smaller, structurally unrelated protein, AltPrp. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. (provided by RefSeq, Oct 2012) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: PRIO_HUMAN, P04156 Function : May play a role in neuronal development and synaptic plasticity. May be required for neuronal myelin sheathmaintenance. May play a role in iron uptake and iron homeostasis. Soluble oligomers are toxic to cultured neuroblastoma cells and induce apoptosis (in vitro). Association with GPC1 (via its heparan sulfate chains) targets PRNP to lipid rafts. Also provides Cu(2+) or ZN(2+) for the ascorbate-mediated GPC1 deaminase degradation of its heparan sulfate side chains (By similarity) Gene Wiki entry for PRNP

About This Section UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: PRIO_HUMAN, P04156 (See
protein sequence )Recommended Name: Major prion protein precursor Size : 253 amino acids; 27661 Da
Subunit : Monomer and homodimer. Has a tendency to aggregate into amyloid fibrils containing a cross-beta spine, formedby a steric zipper of superposed beta-strands. Soluble oligomers may represent an intermediate stage on the path to fibril formation. Copper binding may promote oligomerization. Interacts with GRB2, APP, ERI3/PRNPIP and SYN1. Mislocalized cytosolically exposed PrP interacts with MGRN1; this interaction alters MGRN1 subcellular location and causes lysosomal enlargement (By similarity). Interacts with KIAA1191
Subcellular location : Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor. Golgi apparatus. Note=Targeted to lipid rafts viaassociation with the heparan sulfate chains of GPC1. Colocates, in the presence of CU(2+), to vesicles in para- and perinuclear regions, where both proteins undergo internalization. Heparin displaces PRNP from lipid rafts and promotes endocytosis
Subcellular location : Isoform 2: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note=Accumulates outside the secretory route in the cytoplasm,from where it relocates to the nucleus
Miscellaneous : This protein is produced by a bicistronic gene which also produces the The alternative prionprotein/AltPrP from an overlapping reading frame
Miscellaneous : The alternative prion protein/AltPrP (AC F7VJQ1) and PRNP have no apparent direct functional relationsince a mutation that removes the start codon of the AltPrP has no apparent effect on the biology of PRNP. In mouse and hamster, the alternative initiation AUG codon is absent and is replaced by a GUG codon

Graphical View of Domain Structure for InterPro Entry P04156 ProtoNet protein and cluster: P04156
1 Blocks protein family : IPB000817 Prion protein UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: PRIO_HUMAN, P04156 Domain : The normal, monomeric form, PRPN(C), has a mainly alpha-helical structure. Misfolding of this form produces adisease-associated, protease-resistant form, PRPN (Sc), accompanied by a large increase of the beta-sheet content and formation of amyloid fibrils. These fibrils consist of a cross-beta spine, formed by a steric zipper of superposed beta-strands. Disease mutations may favor intermolecular contacts via short beta strands, and may thereby trigger oligomerization. In addition, the heparan-sulfate proteoglycan, GPC1, promotes the association of PRPN (C) to lipid rafts and appears to facilitate the conversion to PRPN (Sc) Domain : Contains an N-terminal region composed of octamer repeats. At low copper concentrations, the sidechains of Hisresidues from three or four repeats contribute to the binding of a single copper ion. Alternatively, a copper ion can be bound by interaction with the sidechain and backbone amide nitrogen of a single His residue. The observed copper binding stoichiometry suggests that two repeat regions cooperate to stabilize the binding of a single copper ion. At higher copper concentrations, each octamer can bind one copper ion by interactions with the His sidechain and Gly backbone atoms. A mixture of binding types may occur, especially in the case of octamer repeat expansion. Copper binding may stabilize the conformation of this region and may promote oligomerization Similarity : Belongs to the prion family

Note=PrP is found in high quantity in the brain of humans and animals infected with neurodegenerative diseases known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies or prion diseases, like: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), fatal familial insomnia (FFI), Gerstmann-Straussler disease (GSD), Huntington disease-like type 1 (HDL1) and kuru in humans; scrapie in sheep and goat; bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle; transmissible mink encephalopathy (TME); chronic wasting disease (CWD) of mule deer and elk; feline spongiform encephalopathy (FSE) in cats and exotic ungulate encephalopathy (EUE) in nyala and greater kudu. The prion diseases illustrate three manifestations of CNS degeneration: (1) infectious (2) sporadic and (3) dominantly inherited forms. TME, CWD, BSE, FSE, EUE are all thought to occur after consumption of prion-infected foodstuffs Defects in PRNP are the cause of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) [MIM:123400]. CJD occurs primarily as a sporadic disorder (1 per million), while 10-15% are familial. Accidental transmission of CJD to humans appears to be iatrogenic (contaminated human growth hormone (HGH), corneal transplantation, electroencephalographic electrode implantation, etc.). Epidemiologic studies have failed to implicate the ingestion of infected annimal meat in the pathogenesis of CJD in human. The triad of microscopic features that characterize the prion diseases consists of (1) spongiform degeneration of neurons, (2) severe astrocytic gliosis that often appears to be out of proportion to the degree of nerve cell loss, and (3) amyloid plaque formation. CJD is characterized by progressive dementia and myoclonic seizures, affecting adults in mid-life. Some patients present sleep disorders, abnormalities of high cortical function, cerebellar and corticospinal disturbances. The disease ends in death after a 3-12 months illness Defects in PRNP are the cause of fatal familial insomnia (FFI) [MIM:600072]. FFI is an autosomal dominant disorder and is characterized by neuronal degeneration limited to selected thalamic nuclei and progressive insomnia Defects in PRNP are the cause of Gerstmann-Straussler disease (GSD) [MIM:137440]. GSD is a heterogeneous disorder and was defined as a spinocerebellar ataxia with dementia and plaquelike deposits. GSD incidence is less than 2 per 100 million live births Defects in PRNP are the cause of Huntington disease-like type 1 (HDL1) [MIM:603218]. HDL1 is an autosomal dominant, early onset neurodegenerative disorder with prominent psychiatric features Defects in PRNP are the cause of kuru (KURU) [MIM:245300]. Kuru is transmitted during ritualistic cannibalism, among natives of the New Guinea highlands. Patients exhibit various movement disorders like cerebellar abnormalities, rigidity of the limbs, and clonus. Emotional lability is present, and dementia is conspicuously absent. Death usually occurs from 3 to 12 month after onset Defects in PRNP are the cause of spongiform encephalopathy with neuropsychiatric features (SENF) [MIM:606688]; an autosomal dominant presenile dementia with a rapidly progressive and protracted clinical course. The dementia was characterized clinically by frontotemporal features, including early personality changes. Some patients had memory loss, several showed aggressiveness, hyperorality and verbal stereotypy, others had parkinsonian symptoms 20/92 diseases for PRNP (see all 92 ): About MalaCards gerstmann-straussler-scheinker disease huntington disease-like fatal familial insomnia huntington disease-like 1 insomnia variant creutzfeldt-jakob disease huntington's disease familial creutzfeldt-jakob disease prion disease with protracted course estrogen-receptor negative breast cancer cerebral amyloid angiopathy bovine spongiform encephalopathy creutzfeldt-jakob syndrome paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria akinetic mutism inclusion body myositis supranuclear palsy amyotrophic lateral sclerosis prion disease primary progressive aphasia 10 diseases from the University of Copenhagen DISEASES database for PRNP :Scrapie Bovine spongiform encephalopathy Chronic wasting disease Fatal familial insomnia Creutzfeldt-Jakob syndrome Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker disease Toxic encephalopathy Akinetic mutism Alzheimer's disease Neuroblastoma 10/84 Novoseek disease relationships for PRNP gene (see all 84 ) About this table
