tfg-1
Name
human TFG related 1
Synonyms
  • CELE_Y63D3A.5
  • Y63D3A.5
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi vesicle-mediated transport; maintenance of protein localization in organelle; and protein secretion. Located in endoplasmic reticulum exit site and mitochondrion. Is expressed in germ line; hypodermis; intestine; and muscle cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary spastic paraplegia 57. Orthologous to human TFG (trafficking from ER to golgi regulator).
WB Description
tfg-1 encodes a tumor suppressor gene homologous to human TRK-fused gene (TFG)(OMIM: 602498); TFG-1 is sufficient and necessary to inhibit the normal apoptotic pathway; TFG-1 influences body size and responsible for determining the size of adults; TFG-1 functions in a novel pathway independent of TGF-beta; and insulin signaling to control cell growth and size; TFG-1 directly interacts with SEC-16 and controls COPII subunit accumulation at the endoplasmic reticulum exit sites; TFG-1 requires SEC-16 for its localization and SEC-16 requires TFG-1 to accumulate normally on endoplasmic reticulum exit sites; TFG-1 hexamers facilitates normal assembly of large complexes containing SEC-16 and COPII subunits; TFG-1 depletion leads to a defect in normal Golgi assembly; analogously to C. elegans TFG-1, human TFG functions at endoplasmic reticulum exit sites; TFG-1 is detectable as early as the two cell stage of embryogenesis and expression continues throughout embryogenesis, punctated pattern in cytoplasm colocalizing with mitochondrial COX1.
