Function

Filament-forming cytoskeletal GTPase (Probable). Pro-apoptotic protein involved in LGR5-positive intestinal stem cell and Paneth cell expansion in the intestines, via its interaction with XIAP (By similarity). May also play a role in the regulation of cell fate in the intestine (By similarity). Positive regulator of apoptosis involved in hematopoietic stem cell homeostasis; via its interaction with XIAP (By similarity). Negative regulator of repair and hair follicle regeneration in response to injury, due to inhibition of hair follicle stem cell proliferation, potentially via its interaction with XIAP (By similarity). Plays an important role in male fertility and sperm motility (By similarity). During spermiogenesis, essential for the establishment of the annulus (a fibrous ring structure connecting the midpiece and the principal piece of the sperm flagellum) which is a requisite for the structural and mechanical integrity of the sperm (By similarity). Involved in the migration of cortical neurons and the formation of neuron leading processes during embryonic development (By similarity). Required for dopaminergic metabolism in presynaptic autoreceptors; potentially via activity as a presynaptic scaffold protein (By similarity). Isoform ARTS. Required for the induction of cell death mediated by TGF-beta and possibly by other apoptotic stimuli (PubMed:11146656, PubMed:15837787). Induces apoptosis through binding and inhibition of XIAP resulting in significant reduction in XIAP levels, leading to caspase activation and cell death (PubMed:15029247). Mediates the interaction between BCL2 and XIAP, thereby positively regulating the ubiquitination and degradation of BCL2 and promoting apoptosis (PubMed:29020630).

Activity summary

SEPT4 also known as septin 4 or PC-Tse1 is a member of the septin family of GTP-binding proteins which have roles in cytoskeletal organization. This protein has a molecular mass of approximately 48 kDa and is expressed in various tissues including the brain and testes. SEPT4's mechanical function involves forming hetero-oligomeric complexes that contribute to cellular processes like cytokinesis where it helps in cytokinetic abscission during cell division. Its presence in diverse cell types reflects its role in maintaining cellular architecture and integrity.

Biological function summary

SEPT4 functions as part of the septin complex which is important for cytoskeletal remodeling and membrane dynamics. It interacts with other septins to form filamentous structures that organize cellular compartments and ensure membrane rigidity and shape. SEPT4 also plays a role in apoptosis particularly in promoting the mitochondrial pathway of apoptotic cell death. Its ability to localize to mitochondria and influence mitochondrial morphology underlines its involvement in cellular stress responses.

Pathways

SEPT4 engages in significant interactions in the apoptosis and cell cycle pathways. Within the apoptosis pathway SEPT4 influences mitochondrial cytochrome c release indirectly associating with proteins like BCL2 which regulates cell death. In the cell cycle pathway SEPT4's role in cytokinesis highlights its interaction with kinases that govern cell division checkpoints. These pathways emphasize SEPT4's dual role in controlling both cell structure and survival.

Associated diseases and disorders

SEPT4 has been linked to neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. In Parkinson's disease SEPT4 interacts with proteins like Parkin where it influences the clearance of damaged mitochondrial components suggesting a protective role against neurodegeneration. In the context of cancer aberrations in SEPT4 expression or function can lead to improper cell division potentially contributing to tumorigenesis. Its involvement in such diverse conditions highlights SEPT4's importance in disease pathogenesis and highlights its potential as a therapeutic target.
