C11orf91

Chromosome 11 open reading frame 91, or C11orf91 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the C11orf91 gene.

Gene
The C11orf91 gene consists of 5159 nucleotides with an mRNA of approximately 836 base pairs. There is one exon found in the C11orf91 gene.

mRNA
The cytogenetic band location of C11orf91 is 11p13 and is located on the minus strand of the DNA.

Protein
The C11orf91 gene encodes a protein that is 193 amino acids in length. The C11orf91 protein contains a domain of unknown function, DUF5529, that spans nearly the entire protein. RBMX protein binding sites were found to be highly conserved in several structures of human C11orf91 3'UTR and 5' UTR. C11orf91 is rich in serine and proline and poor in valine and asparagine. There is a proline rich region found in the middle of the C11orf91. The human C11orf91 protein is approximately 20 kDal and has an isoelectric point around 9.

Localization
Human C11orf91 protein is predicted to be localized in vesicles.

Structure
C11orf91 has two helices located near the C-terminus and no beta sheets.

Post-translational modifications
C11orf91 has a predicted Protein kinase C (PKC) phosphorylation site, Casein kinase 2 (CK2) phosphorylation site, amidation site, and two predicted serine phosphorylation sites, see Conceptual Translation for post-translational modification site locations.

Evolution
There are no paralogs of the human C11orf91 protein. The human C11orf91 protein has several orthologs found across eight categories of jawed vertebrates including: aves, testudines, alligators, reptiles, mammals, amphibians, lungfishes, and cartilaginous fishes.
