WD repeat protein 71 (proteasomal ATPase-associated factor 1, protein G-16, WDR71, PAAF1)
Function:
- inhibits proteasome 26S assembly & proteolyticactivity by impairing association of the 19S regulatory complex with the 20S core
- interacts with PSMC1, PSMC2, PSMC3, PSMC4, PSMC5, PSMC6
Pathology:
- in case of HIV-1 infection, recruited by viral Tat to the HIV-1 promoter, where it promotes the recruitment of 19S regulatory complex through dissociation of the proteasome 26S
- this presumably promotes provirus transcription efficiency
- interacts with HIV-1 Tat.
Structure: contains 5 WD repeats
Alternative splicing: named isoforms=2
Expression:
- ubiquitously expressed
- highest levels in kidney, brain & testis
