Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** PFDN1 is a small protein that belongs to the prefoldin family, which is involved in the folding of actin and tubulin into their native structures. PFDN1 is highly expressed in various cell types, including epithelial cells of the nephron, erythroid progenitor cells, and placental villous trophoblasts. It is also highly conserved across species, suggesting its importance in maintaining protein homeostasis. **Pathways and Functions:** PFDN1 is involved in several critical pathways that regulate protein folding and homeostasis. These include: 1. **Chaperone-mediated protein folding**: PFDN1 works in conjunction with chaperone proteins to facilitate the folding of actin and tubulin into their native structures. 2. **Chaperonin-mediated protein folding**: PFDN1 is also involved in the folding of proteins into their native structures through the action of chaperonins. 3. **Cooperation of prefoldin and tric/cct**: PFDN1 interacts with the tric/cct complex to facilitate the folding of actin and tubulin. 4. **Negative regulation of amyloid fibril formation**: PFDN1 has been shown to inhibit the formation of amyloid fibrils, which are associated with various neurodegenerative diseases. **Functions:** PFDN1 has several functional roles, including: 1. **Protein binding**: PFDN1 binds to unfolded proteins, helping to regulate their folding and aggregation. 2. **Protein folding**: PFDN1 facilitates the folding of actin and tubulin into their native structures. 3. **Unfolded protein binding**: PFDN1 binds to unfolded proteins, preventing their aggregation and promoting their folding. **Clinical Significance:** Dysregulation of PFDN1 has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Amyloidosis**: PFDN1 has been shown to inhibit the formation of amyloid fibrils, and its dysregulation is associated with amyloidosis. 2. **Neurodegenerative diseases**: PFDN1 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. 3. **Cancer**: PFDN1 has been shown to have anti-tumor effects, and its dysregulation is associated with cancer development. In conclusion, PFDN1 is a critical component of the prefoldin complex, which plays a vital role in maintaining protein homeostasis and preventing amyloid fibril formation. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, highlighting the importance of further research into the mechanisms of PFDN1 and its role in human disease.
