WDR6 also known as WD Repeat Domain 6 is a protein with a mass of approximately 115 kDa. This protein contains multiple WD40 repeats which facilitate protein-protein interactions. WDR6 is widely expressed across various human tissues including brain skeletal muscle heart and testis. Its presence in multiple tissues suggests a critical role in cellular functions.
Biological function summary
WDR6 is involved in regulatory systems that control cell growth and division playing a role in translational regulation. WDR6 does not function alone; it interacts with specific complexes to modulate the ribosomal protein synthesis process. It interacts with nutrient-sensing pathways and may work with proteins like RPS6 leading to changes in protein translation and cell growth regulatory mechanisms.
Pathways
Scientists see WDR6 as part of the mTOR signaling pathway which is important for controlling cell growth and proliferation. WDR6's function associates it with ribosomes and components involved in protein synthesis regulation such as S6K1 and 4EBP1. These interactions enable WDR6 to assist in integrating signals from nutrient and energy status to regulate cell growth.
Researchers have observed a connection between WDR6 and cancer owing to its role in cell growth control. Dysregulation of the mTOR pathway with which WDR6 is involved often leads to abnormal cell proliferation seen in some cancers. Additionally variations in WDR6 expression and function may relate to neurodegenerative diseases where proteins like mTORC1 and p70S6K could be involved in pathways affecting neuronal survival and function.
