General annotation (Comments)

Function

Acts as a positive regulator of androgen receptor-dependent transcription. May function as a redox-sensitive chaperone and as a sensor for oxidative stress. Prevents aggregation of SNCA. Protects neurons against oxidative stress and cell death. Plays a role in fertilization. Has no proteolytic activity. Has cell-growth promoting activity and transforming activity.

Subunit structure

Homodimer. Binds EFCAB6/DJBP and PIAS2. Part of a ternary complex containing PARK7, EFCAB6/DJBP and AR.

Subcellular location

Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Note= Associated with mitochondria in some cells, particularly after oxidative stress. Detected in tau inclusions in brains from neurodegenerative disease patients.

Tissue specificity

Highly expressed in pancreas, kidney, skeletal muscle, liver, testis and heart. Detected at slightly lower levels in placenta and brain. Detected in astrocytes, Sertoli cells, spermatogonia, spermatids and spermatozoa.

Induction

By ultraviolet irradiation.

Post-translational modification

Sumoylated on Lys-130 by PIAS2 or PIAS4; which is enhanced after ultraviolet irradiation and essential for cell-growth promoting activity and transforming activity.

Involvement in disease

Defects in PARK7 are the cause of autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson disease 7 (PARK7) [MIM:606324, 168600]. Parkinson disease (PD) is a complex, multifactorial disorder that typically manifests after the age of 50 years, although early-onset cases (before 50 years) are known. PD generally arises as a sporadic condition but is occasionally inherited as a simple mendelian trait. Although sporadic and familial PD are very similar, inherited forms of the disease usually begin at earlier ages and are associated with atypical clinical features. PD is characterized by bradykinesia, resting tremor, muscular rigidity and postural instability, as well as by a clinically significant response to treatment with levodopa. The pathology involves the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the presence of Lewy bodies (intraneuronal accumulations of aggregated proteins), in surviving neurons in various areas of the brain. PARK7 is characterized by onset before 40 years, slow progression and initial good response to levodopa.

Defects in PARK7 influences susceptibility to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-parkinsonism/dementia complex type 2 [MIM:105500]; also called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-parkinsonism/dementia complex of Guam or Guam disease. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-parkinsonism/dementia complex type 2 is a neurodengenerative disorder with unusually high incidence among the Chamorro people of the Western Pacific Islands of Guam. Both amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and parkinsonism-dementia are chronic, progressive, and uniformly fatal disorders in this population. Both diseases are known to occur in the same kindred, the same sibship, and even the same individual.

Miscellaneous

Cys-106 is easily oxidized to sulfinic acid.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the peptidase C56 family.
