ID:DCA17_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=DDB1- and CUL4-associated factor 17; FUNCTION: May function as a substrate receptor for CUL4-DDB1 E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex. PATHWAY: Protein modification; protein ubiquitination. SUBUNIT: Interacts with DDB1, CUL4A and CUL4B. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein (Potential). Nucleus, nucleolus. Note=According to PubMed:19026396, it is a nucleolar protein, while sequence analysis programs clearly predict 2 transmembrane regions. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Ubiquitously expressed. DISEASE: Defects in DCAF17 are the cause of Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome (WoSaS) [MIM:241080]; also abbreviated WSS. WoSaS is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hypogonadism, alopecia, diabetes mellitus, mental retardation, and extrapyramidal syndrome.
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.
