WDR75

WDR75 is a human protein encoded by the WDR75 gene[1] containing a WD40 superfamily domain.[2] The WD40 domain is found throughout many eukaryotic cell types and is known to be involved in cellular regulator functions such as pre-mRNA processing and cytoskeleton assembly.[3] The function of the WDR75 protein is not defined by the scientific community.

Secondary Structure

The secondary structure is predicted[4] to contain alternating sets of alpha helicies and beta strands. No helix-turn-helix (HTH) regions were predicted.

Homology

No known paralogs exist for the Human gene. No paralogs were found for the cow, mouse, or rat orthologs of WDR75.[5] Conservation among mammalian orthologs to the human gene was strong, with minimum identity amoug orthologs at 76%. The following table summarizes some vertebrate and invertebrate orthologs. Conservation of specific amino acids from positions 340-390, 430- 450, and 515-530 all correlate to predicted alpha helicies.[4]
