FZR1 also known as fizzy-related protein homolog plays a critical mechanical role in cell cycle regulation as a co-activator of the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C). The FZR1 protein has a mass of about 83 kDa. It is involved in the transition from metaphase to anaphase during cell division. This protein expresses in various tissues but shows higher levels in proliferating cells due to its role in cell cycle control.
Biological function summary
FZR1 helps regulate the degradation of cell cycle proteins by tagging them for destruction in a process involving the ubiquitin-proteasome system. FZR1 forms a complex with APC/C pushing the progression of the cell cycle and ensuring proper chromosome segregation. This activity prevents genomic instability by maintaining the correct order of cell cycle phases.
Pathways
Researchers place FZR1 in the cell cycle pathway particularly in regulating the mitotic exit and G1/S transition. One significant pathway involves its partnership with the cyclin B1 protein where FZR1 aids in its ubiquitination and subsequent degradation. It is also related to pathways involving the retinoblastoma protein (Rb) which adds a layer of regulation over the cycle and ensures DNA replication precision.
FZR1 associates with cancer due to its involvement in controlling cell division and preventing aneuploidy. Disruption in FZR1 function can lead to misregulated cell growth which is often observed in tumors. Furthermore some studies connect FZR1 to neurodegenerative disorders notably through its interactions with proteins in the nervous system although these connections are still under investigation.
