Summary
MKRN1 (makorin ring finger protein 1, HGNC:7112) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 7q34, encoding E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase makorin-1 (Q9UHC7). E3 ubiquitin ligase catalyzing the covalent attachment of ubiquitin moieties onto substrate proteins. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 10.3% of cell lines).
This gene encodes a protein that belongs to a novel class of zinc finger proteins. The encoded protein functions as a transcriptional co-regulator, and as an E3 ubiquitin ligase that promotes the ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of target proteins. The protein encoded by this gene is thought to regulate RNA polymerase II-catalyzed transcription. Substrates for this protein’s E3 ubiquitin ligase activity include the capsid protein of the West Nile virus and the catalytic subunit of the telomerase ribonucleoprotein. This protein controls cell cycle arrest and apoptosis by regulating p21, a cell cycle regulator, and the tumor suppressor protein p53. Pseudogenes of this gene are present on chromosomes 1, 3, 9, 12 and 20, and on the X chromosome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

Function. E3 ubiquitin ligase catalyzing the covalent attachment of ubiquitin moieties onto substrate proteins. These substrates include FILIP1, p53/TP53, CDKN1A and TERT. Keeps cells alive by suppressing p53/TP53 under normal conditions, but stimulates apoptosis by repressing CDKN1A under stress conditions. Acts as a negative regulator of telomerase. Has negative and positive effects on RNA polymerase II-dependent transcription.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with p53/TP53 and CDKN1A. Interacts with TERT, modulating telomere length homeostasis.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitous.
Post-translational modifications. Auto-ubiquitinated; which leads to proteasomal degradation.
Induction. Frequently induced in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) tissues.
Pathway. Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 70 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.
