Secondary Information

Protein Function CFDP2,is the 1st identified member of BCNT protein superfamily,discovered in bovine brain,plays roles in chromatin organization.The Drosophila BCNT ortholog, called YETI,is essential for proper fly development .
Biochemical Properties It consisted of an acidic N-terminal region, a retrotransposon-derived 325-amino acid region (the RTE domain) and of two 40-amino acid intrarepeat (IR) units. The RTE domain was 72 % identical to that of a ruminant specific retrotransposon, called Bov-B LINE. The ~175-amino acid N-terminal portion of the three BCNT-related proteins is acidic as a whole but contains several arginine/lysine-rich elements, including a putative nuclear targeting motif of Arg-Lys-Arg-Lys (~61–64th).

Significance of PTMs phosphoproteins potentially phosphorylated in vitro on serine residues by the casein kinase II. two phosphorylated serine residues in human BCNT, Ser-116 in the N-terminal region and Ser-250 in the C-terminal region.Human and bovine BCNTs were found to be substrates for in vitro acetylation by the co-transcriptional activator CBP/p300, resulting in the acetylation of at least 15 lysine residues
Additional Comments Expressed in liver and lung with higher expression in brain.
