The figure above shows the evolutionary relationship of CCDC138 in the orthologs.

Protein

The CCDC138 protein is predated to have a molecular weight of 76.2Kda and an isoelectric point of 8.614. Compositional analysis shows that there is a low usage of the AGP grouping in CCDC138, and there are no positive, negative or mixed charge clusters. The protein has no ER retention motif in the C-terminus and no RNA binding motif. It has also been predicted to be a soluble nuclear protein with a leucine zipper pattern (PS00029) at position 205 onwards with a sequence LQKRERFLLEREQLLFRHENAL.

Primary sequence and variants/isoforms

There are two isoforms of the CCDC138 protein. The primary isoform has 665 amino acids while the secondary isoform has 577 amino acids, and is missing 88 amino acids at the C-terminus.

Domain and motifs

A domain of unknown function (DUF2317) on the protein at location 212 – 315 has been characterized in bacteria. TMHMM and TMAP suggests that there are no predicted transmembrane domain. SOSUI further predicts that CCDC138 is a soluble protein with no transmembrane domain.

Post-translational modifications

According to SUMOplot Analysis Program, there are 7 predicted sumoylation at lysine residues K7, K207, K336, K374, K383, K521, and K591. NetPhos predicts that there are 44 phosphorylations sites, including 29 serine residues, 10 threonine residues, and 5 tyrosine residues. There are no further post-translational modifications as predicted by NetNGlyc, NetOGlyc, SignalP, Sulfinator, and Myristoylator.

Secondary structure

The CCDC138 protein contains multiple alpha helixes, beta sheets and coiled-coils as predicted by PELE, CHOFAS, and GOR4.

3° and 4° structures

There are no predicted 3° and 4° Structures for the CCDC138 protein. However, there is a similar structure that has a 29% identity. The predicted structure is Chain A, crystal structure analysis of Clpb, a protein that encodes an ATP-dependent protease and chaperone. This protein has an aligned-length of 144 amino acids, and the alignment is located at the domain of unknown function of CCDC138.
