Description: Homo sapiens septin 9 (SEPTIN9), transcript variant 1, mRNA. RefSeq Summary (NM_001113491): This gene is a member of the septin family involved in cytokinesis and cell cycle control. This gene is a candidate for the ovarian tumor suppressor gene. Mutations in this gene cause hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy, also known as neuritis with brachial predilection. A chromosomal translocation involving this gene on chromosome 17 and the MLL gene on chromosome 11 results in acute myelomonocytic leukemia. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]. Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg19 chr17:75,277,492-75,496,678 Size: 219,187 Total Exon Count: 12 Strand: + Coding Region Position: hg19 chr17:75,277,618-75,494,740 Size: 217,123 Coding Exon Count: 12
ID:SEPT9_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Septin-9; AltName: Full=MLL septin-like fusion protein MSF-A; Short=MLL septin-like fusion protein; AltName: Full=Ovarian/Breast septin; Short=Ov/Br septin; AltName: Full=Septin D1; FUNCTION: Filament-forming cytoskeletal GTPase (By similarity). May play a role in cytokinesis (Potential). May play a role in the internalization of 2 intracellular microbial pathogens, Listeria monocytogenes and Shigella flexneri. SUBUNIT: Septins polymerize into heterooligomeric protein complexes that form filaments, and associate with cellular membranes, actin filaments, and microtubules. GTPase activity is required for filament formation. Interacts with SEPT2, SEPT6, SEPT7, SEPT11 and SEPT14. Interacts with RTKN and ARHGEF18. In a mesenchymal cell line, Rho/RTKN signals cause disruption of wild- type septin filaments, but not of those containing isoform 2 variants HNA Trp-106 and Phe-111. In a mesenchymal cell line, isoform 2 variants HNA Trp-106 and Phe-111, but not wild type, form filaments with SEPT4. INTERACTION: Q16665:HIF1A; NbExp=4; IntAct=EBI-851558, EBI-447269; Q6ZU15:SEPT14; NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-851569, EBI-2009297; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Note=In an epithelial cell line, concentrates at cell-cell contact areas. After TGF-beta1 treatment and induction of epithelial to mesenchymal transition, colocalizes partly with actin stress fibers. During bacterial infection, displays a collar shape structure next to actin at the pole of invading bacteria. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Widely expressed. Isoforms are differentially expressed in testes, kidney, liver heart, spleen, brain, peripheral blood leukocytes, skeletal muscle and kidney. Specific isoforms appear to demonstrate tissue specificity. Isoform 5 is the most highly expressed in fetal tissue. Isoform 1 is detected in all tissues except the brain and thymus, while isoform 2, isoform 3, and isoform 4 are detected at low levels in approximately half of the fetal tissues. DISEASE: Note=A chromosomal aberration involving SEPT9/MSF is found in therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML). Translocation t(11;17)(q23;q25) with MLL. DISEASE: Defects in SEPT9 are a cause of hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy (HNA) [MIM:162100]; also known as neuritis with brachial predilection (NAPB) or hereditary brachial plexus neuropathy or hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy with predilection for brachial plexus. HNA is an autosomal dominant form of recurrent focal neuropathy characterized clinically by acute, recurrent episodes of brachial plexus neuropathy with muscle weakness and atrophy preceded by severe pain in the affected arm. HNA is triggered by environmental factors such as infection or parturition. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the septin family.

The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
