Summary

CTNND1 (catenin delta 1, HGNC:2515) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11q12.1, encoding Catenin delta-1 (O60716). Key regulator of cell-cell adhesion that associates with and regulates the cell adhesion properties of both C-, E- and N-cadherins, being critical for their surface stability.

This gene encodes a member of the Armadillo protein family, which function in adhesion between cells and signal transduction. Multiple translation initiation codons and alternative splicing result in many different isoforms being translated. Not all of the full-length natures of the described transcript variants have been determined. Read-through transcription also exists between this gene and the neighboring upstream thioredoxin-related transmembrane protein 2 (TMX2) gene.

Function. Key regulator of cell-cell adhesion that associates with and regulates the cell adhesion properties of both C-, E- and N-cadherins, being critical for their surface stability. Promotes localization and retention of DSG3 at cell-cell junctions, via its interaction with DSG3. Beside cell-cell adhesion, regulates gene transcription through several transcription factors including ZBTB33/Kaiso2 and GLIS2, and the activity of Rho family GTPases and downstream cytoskeletal dynamics. Implicated both in cell transformation by SRC and in ligand-induced receptor signaling through the EGF, PDGF, CSF-1 and ERBB2 receptors.

Subunit / interactions. Belongs to a multiprotein cell-cell adhesion complex that also contains E-cadherin/CDH1, alpha-catenin/CTNNA1, beta-catenin/CTNNB1, and gamma-catenin/JUP. Component of a cadherin:catenin adhesion complex composed of at least of CDH26, beta-catenin/CTNNB1, alpha-catenin/CTNNA1 and p120 catenin/CTNND1. Binds to the C-terminal fragment of PSEN1 and mutually competes for CDH1. Interacts with ZBTB33. Interacts with GLIS2. Interacts with FER. Interacts with NANOS1 (via N-terminal region). Interacts (via N-terminus) with GNA12; the interaction regulates CDH1-mediated cell-cell adhesion. Interacts with GNA13. Interacts with CCDC85B. Interacts with PLPP3; negatively regulates the PLPP3-mediated stabilization of CTNNB1. Interacts with DSG3; the interaction facilitates DSG3 localization and retention at cell-cell junctions. Interacts with CTNND1/p120-catenin; the interaction controls CADH5 endocytosis.

Subcellular location. Cell junction. Adherens junction. Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Cell membrane. Cell junction Nucleus Nucleus Nucleus Cytoplasm Cytoplasm.

Tissue specificity. Expressed in vascular endothelium. Melanocytes and melanoma cells primarily express the long isoform 1A, whereas keratinocytes express shorter isoforms, especially 3A. The shortest isoform 4A, is detected in normal keratinocytes and melanocytes, and generally lost from cells derived from squamous cell carcinomas or melanomas. The C-terminal alternatively spliced exon B is present in the p120ctn transcripts in the colon, intestine and prostate, but lost in several tumor tissues derived from these organs.

Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated by FER and other protein-tyrosine kinases. Phosphorylated at Ser-288 by PAK5. Dephosphorylated by PTPRJ.

Disease relevance. Blepharocheilodontic syndrome 2 (BCDS2) [MIM:617681] A form of blepharocheilodontic syndrome, a rare autosomal dominant disorder. It is characterized by lower eyelid ectropion, upper eyelid distichiasis, euryblepharon, bilateral cleft lip and palate, and features of ectodermal dysplasia, including hair anomalies, conical teeth and tooth agenesis. An additional rare manifestation is imperforate anus. There is considerable phenotypic variability among affected individuals. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Domain organisation. A possible nuclear localization signal exists in all isoforms where Asp-626–631-Arg are deleted. ARM repeats 1 to 5 mediate interaction with cadherins.

Induction. Induced in vascular endothelium by wounding. This effect is potentiated by prior laminar shear stress, which enhances wound closure.

Similarity. Belongs to the beta-catenin family.

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 174 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
