Summary

PCNP (PEST proteolytic signal containing nuclear protein, HGNC:30023) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 3q12.3, encoding PEST proteolytic signal-containing nuclear protein (Q8WW12). May be involved in cell cycle regulation. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 10.8% of cell lines).

Involved in proteasome-mediated ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process and protein ubiquitination. Located in nuclear body.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 5)

  • NIRF has ubiquitination activity, the hallmark of a ubiquitin ligase. PCNP was readily ubiquitinated in 293 and COS-7 cells, and NIRF ubiquitinated PCNP in vitro as well as in vivo. (PMID:14741369)
  • PCNP mediates the proliferation, migration, and invasion of human neuroblastoma cells through mitogen-activated protein kinase and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathways, implying that PCNP is a therapeutic target for patients with neuroblastoma. (PMID:29716528)
  • PCNP promotes ovarian cancer progression by accelerating beta-catenin nuclear accumulation and triggering EMT transition. (PMID:32548978)
