DCC1

Introduction

Sister chromatid cohesion protein DCC1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DSCC1 gene.[1][2]

Model organisms

Model organisms

Model organisms have been used in the study of DSCC1 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Dscc1tm1a(KOMP)Wtsi[8][9] was generated at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute as part of the International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists.[10][11][12]

Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.[6][13] Twenty four tests were carried out on mutant mice and four significant abnormalities were observed.[6] Few homozygous mutant embryos were identified during gestation, and some displayed oedema, therefore less than expected survived until weaning. Those that did survive had increased chromosomal instability in a micronucleus test and numerous skeletal abnormalities by radiography.[6]

Interactions

Interactions

DCC1 has been shown to interact with CHTF18.[14][15]
