ID:SEPT7_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Septin-7; AltName: Full=CDC10 protein homolog; FUNCTION: Filament-forming cytoskeletal GTPase. Required for normal organization of the actin cytoskeleton. Required for normal progress through mitosis. Involved in cytokinesis. Required for normal association of CENPE with the kinetochore. Plays a role in ciliogenesis and collective cell movements. 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. Filaments are assembled from asymmetrical heterotrimers, composed of SEPT2, SEPT6 and SEPT7 that associate head-to-head to form a hexameric unit. Within the trimer, directly interacts with SEPT6, while interaction with SEPT2 seems indirect. In the absence of SEPT6, forms homodimers. Interacts directly with CENPE and links CENPE to septin filaments composed of SEPT2, SEPT6 and SEPT7. Interacts with SEPT5 and SEPT8 (By similarity). Interacts with SEPT9 and SEPT11. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle. Cleavage furrow. Midbody. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, cilium axoneme (By similarity). Note=Distributed throughout the cytoplasm in prometaphase cells. Associated with the spindle during metaphase. Associated with the central spindle and at the cleavage furrow in anaphase cells. Detected at the midbody in telophase. Associated with actin stress fibers (By similarity). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Widely expressed. MISCELLANEOUS: Coordinated expression with SEPT2 and SEPT6. 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.
