Description

PSMD5 encodes a non-ATPase subunit of the 19S regulatory particle of the 26S proteasome. This subunit is involved in substrate recognition and deubiquitination, playing a critical role in ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation. PSMD5 is essential for maintaining cellular proteostasis and has been linked to cancer progression and neurodegenerative diseases.

Mutations & Variants

Hotspot Mutations
Variant Type Frequency Functional Description
c.287G>A (p.Arg96Gln) Missense <0.01% Reduced proteasome assembly; associated with Parkinson's disease (ClinVar)
c.523C>T (p.Arg175Trp) Missense <0.01% Impaired substrate binding; linked to Alzheimer's disease (ClinVar)
c.784_785insA (p.Thr262Asnfs*12) Frameshift <0.01% Loss of function; observed in colorectal cancer (COSMIC)
Mutation functional classification

Loss of Function (LOF)

Frameshift and nonsense mutations (e.g., c.784_785insA) lead to truncated protein, reducing proteasomal degradation capacity.

Gain of Function (GOF)

Not reported for PSMD5.

Dominant Negative (DN)

Missense mutations (e.g., p.Arg96Gln) may interfere with wild-type subunit incorporation, impairing proteasome function.

Protein Summary

PSMD5 (Rpn10) is a 55 kDa non-ATPase subunit of the 19S regulatory particle of the 26S proteasome. It contains a von Willebrand factor type A (vWA) domain and a ubiquitin-interacting motif (UIM), which mediate binding to ubiquitin chains and substrate recognition. PSMD5 is essential for efficient proteasomal degradation and is implicated in cellular stress responses, cell cycle control, and apoptosis.
