Human Gene DNAJB6 (ENST00000262177.9) from GENCODE V44
  Description: Homo sapiens DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member B6 (DNAJB6), transcript variant 1, mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_058246)
RefSeq Summary (NM_058246): This gene encodes a member of the DNAJ protein family. DNAJ family members are characterized by a highly conserved amino acid stretch called the 'J-domain' and function as one of the two major classes of molecular chaperones involved in a wide range of cellular events, such as protein folding and oligomeric protein complex assembly. This family member may also play a role in polyglutamine aggregation in specific neurons. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants; however, not all variants have been fully described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].

  ID: DNJB6_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=DnaJ homolog subfamily B member 6; AltName: Full=HHDJ1; AltName: Full=Heat shock protein J2; Short=HSJ-2; AltName: Full=MRJ; AltName: Full=MSJ-1;
FUNCTION: Plays an indispensable role in the organization of KRT8/KRT18 filaments. Acts as an endogenous molecular chaperone for neuronal proteins including huntingtin. Suppresses aggregation and toxicity of polyglutamine-containing, aggregation-prone proteins. Isoform B but not isoform A inhibits huntingtin aggregation. Has a stimulatory effect on the ATPase activity of HSP70 in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner and hence acts as a co-chaperone of HSP70. Also reduces cellular toxicity and caspase-3 activity.
SUBUNIT: Homooligomer. Interacts with BAG3, HSPB8 and STUB1. Interacts with ALKBH1 (By similarity). Interacts with HSP70, KRT18 and PTTG. Isoform B interacts with histone deacetylases HDAC4, HDAC6, and SIRT2, HDAC activity is required for antiaggregation.
INTERACTION: Q9HCU9:BRMS1; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-1053164, EBI-714781; O75923:DYSF; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-1053164, EBI-2799016; P05783:KRT18; NbExp=6; IntAct=EBI-1053164, EBI-297888; Q13326:SGCG; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-1053164, EBI-5357343;
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Nucleus. Cytoplasm, myofibril, sarcomere, Z line.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Widely expressed. Highest levels in testis and brain, and lower levels in heart, spleen, intestine, ovary, placenta, lung, kidney, pancreas, thymus, prostate, skeletal muscle, liver and leukocytes. In testis, expressed in germ cells in the earlier stages of differentiation pathway as well as in spermatids. In brain, expressed at a higher level in hippocampus and thalamus and a lower level in amygdala, substantia nigra, corpus callosum and caudate nucleus.
DOMAIN: The antiaggregation activity of isoform B resides in the serine-rich region and the C-terminus.
DISEASE: Defects in DNAJB6 are the cause of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 1E (LGMD1E) [MIM:603511]. An autosomal dominant myopathy characterized by adult onset of proximal muscle weakness, beginning in the hip girdle region and later progressing to the shoulder girdle region. Note=There is evidence that LGMD1E is caused by dysfunction of isoform B (PubMed:22366786).
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 J domain.
SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=AAD16010.1; Type=Frameshift; Positions=197; Sequence=BAD93096.1; Type=Erroneous initiation;

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.
