Summary

PRF1 (perforin 1, HGNC:9360) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 10q22.1, encoding Perforin-1 (P14222). Pore-forming protein that plays a key role in granzyme-mediated programmed cell death, and in defense against virus-infected or neoplastic cells.

This gene encodes a protein with structural similarities to complement component C9 that is important in immunity. This protein forms membrane pores that allow the release of granzymes and subsequent cytolysis of target cells. Whether pore formation occurs in the plasma membrane of target cells or in an endosomal membrane inside target cells is subject to debate. Mutations in this gene are associated with a variety of human disease including diabetes, multiple sclerosis, lymphomas, autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS), aplastic anemia, and familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis type 2 (FHL2), a rare and lethal autosomal recessive disorder of early childhood.

All UniProt accessions (2): A0A1W2PR25, P14222

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. Pore-forming protein that plays a key role in granzyme-mediated programmed cell death, and in defense against virus-infected or neoplastic cells. Plays an important role in killing other cells that are recognized as non-self by the immune system, e.g. in transplant rejection or some forms of autoimmune disease. Can insert into the membrane of target cells in its calcium-bound form, oligomerize and form large pores. Promotes cytolysis and apoptosis of target cells by mediating the passage and uptake of cytotoxic granzymes. Facilitates the delivery of cationic cargo protein, while anionic or neural proteins are not delivered efficiently. Perforin pores allow the release of mature caspase-7 (CASP7) into the extracellular milieu.

Subunit / interactions. Monomer, as soluble protein. Homooligomer; homooligomerizes to form a pore-forming ring.

Subcellular location. Cytolytic granule. Secreted. Cell membrane. Endosome lumen.

Post-translational modifications. N-glycosylated.

Disease relevance. Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, familial, 2 (FHL2) [MIM:603553] A rare disorder characterized by immune dysregulation with hypercytokinemia, defective function of natural killer cell, and massive infiltration of several organs by activated lymphocytes and macrophages. The clinical features of the disease include fever, hepatosplenomegaly, cytopenia, and less frequently neurological abnormalities ranging from irritability and hypotonia to seizures, cranial nerve deficits and ataxia. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Domain organisation. Perforin consists of three domains: (1) the MACPF domain, which includes the central machinery of pore formation, (2) the EGF-like domain, which forms a ‘shelf-like’ assembly connecting the MACPF and C2 domains, and (3) the C2 domain, which mediates calcium-dependent binding to lipid membranes. The C2 domain is critical for initial calcium-dependent interaction with lipid membranes of the target cell: calcium-binding causes a significant structural rearrangement, leading to oligomerization and deployment of the two transmembrane beta-strands (named CH1/TMH1 and CH2/TMH2) that enter the membrane as amphipathic beta-hairpins. The third calcium-binding site (Ca(2+) 3), which constitutes the weakest affinity site, triggers structural rearrangements in the C2 domain that facilitate its interaction with lipid membranes.

Induction. Repressed by contact with target cells.

Similarity. Belongs to the complement C6/C7/C8/C9 family.

Enriched among interaction partners

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 58 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.
