Cx9C Motif Containing Protein 4 (CMC4)

P8MTCP1; p8; MTCP1NB; Mature T-Cell Proliferation 1 Neighbor

Cx9C Motif Containing Protein 4 (CMC4)
MTCP1NB was identified by involvement in some t(X;14) translocations associated with mature T-cell proliferations. This region has a complex gene structure, with a common promoter and 5' exon spliced to two different sets of 3' exons that encode two different proteins. This gene represents the downstream 8 kDa protein that localizes to mitochondria. The three-dimensional solution structure of the human p8(MTCP1) protein encoded by the MTCP1 oncogene was determined by homonuclear proton two-dimensional NMR methods at 600 MHz. The solution structure of p8(MTCP1) is presented as a set of 30 DIANA structures, further refined by restrained molecular dynamics using a simulated annealing protocol with the AMBER force field. The solution structure of p8(MTCP1) reveals an original scaffold consisting of three alpha helices, associated with a new cysteine motif.
