Coiled-coil domain-containing protein 200 (CCDC200) is a human protein, also denoted as LINC00854 and TMEM106A-AS1, that has the highest expression in the kidneys.[1] The CCDC200 transcript variant 1 (NM_001363254) is a gene that has 727 base pairs (bp), is located on the minus strand of chromosome 17 (17q21.31), has 4 exons, and encodes a protein that is 168 amino acids long.[1] This protein has an isoelectric point of 9.3 and a molecular weight of ~19.4 kilodaltons (kDa).[2] It also contains an evolutionarily conserved coiled-coil region and is predicted to be localized in the nucleus.[3] While CCDC200 is a highly conserved protein with many orthologs, dating as far back as 319 million years ago (mya), no human paralogs have been found yet for this protein.[1]
When CCDC200 was knocked out, an increase in viral infection as well as a change in host and pathogen interactions was observed, suggesting potential roles in immune response.[4]


The human CCDC200 gene is located on chromosome 17, at position 17q21.31, on the minus strand and has 4 exons, spanning 4998 bp.[1] The gene neighborhood of CCDC200 includes upstream (TMEM106A and NBR1) and downstream (RNU2-1) genes.[1]
The CCDC200 gene has one isoform and two splice variants that are different based on their coding potential.[1] Transcript variant 1 has 3 introns and encodes for the CCDC200 protein, while transcript variant 2 (NR_047479) is labeled as a non-coding RNA (see Figure 3).[1]
According to RNA sequencing data of total RNA from 20 different human tissues, biased expression in the kidneys was found with low expression located in the lungs, stomach, uterus, spleen, and thymus.[1] When comparing the highest tissue expression, in reads per kilobase million (or RPKM), for kidneys (3.28) and in skeletal muscle (0.049), there was a ~67-fold difference.[1]

The Human CCDC200 protein (NP_001350183.1) contains 168 amino acids with an isoelectric point of 9.3 and a molecular weight is 19.4 kDa.[3] This aligns with CCDC200’s distant mammalian orthologs (such as Mus musculus) that has an isoelectric point of 9.6 and a molecular weight of 19.4 kDa.[3] This protein is glutamine and proline-rich, which can play a role in characterizing proteins as intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) due to limiting the formation of alpha helices or beta sheets.[5] This protein is also phenylalanine and glycine-deficient, suggesting that this protein in unlikely a transmembrane protein.[5][6]

| Homo Sapiens | NP_001350183.1[7] | 19.4 | 9.3 |
| Mus musculus | NP_001359474.1[8] | 19.4 | 9.6 |

Table 1. CCDC200 Protein Characteristics Shown in Humans and Close Mammalian Orthologs
The human CCDC200 protein is predicted to have nuclear localization signals in their N-terminal and C-terminal regions.[10] The protein is also predicted to be sub-cellularly localized to the nucleus with a 52.2% chance and is further supported with similar results when compared to Mus musculus (56.5%).[11]
There is a coiled-coil region is predicted to be found from residues 16-50 and intrinsically disordered regions found at 23-168.[3] The protein is also predicted to have a polyampholyte region (31-52), an area of low complexity (70-82), proline-rich regions (83-94 & 104-117), and polar regions (124-138 & 145-168).[3]

The human CCDC200 protein is predicted to contain various phosphorylation, ubiquitination, and sumoylation motifs.[13]
Predicted secondary structures of human CCDC200 show that the N-terminal region is more disordered compared to the rest of the protein.[14][15]

The proteins that interact with CCDC200 highly are known as TRIM17, C6orf15, ADGRF4, CNTNAP5, LETM2, TMEM89, BPIFA, and OR1N2. Proteins such as VSTM2B, CATSPER2, and CCDC42 interact with CCDC200 less in comparison to the aforementioned proteins.[16][17]
CCDC200 Human protein is predicted to be localized in the nucleus (52.2%), mitochondria (21.7%), cytoplasm (13%), cytoskeleton (8.7%), and in secretory vesicles (4.3%). There is a weak peripheral (30.6%), transmembrane (12.9%), and lipid anchor (11.8%) association, meaning that the protein is predicted to be localized primarily in the nucleus or cytoplasm. This could give more insight as to which function the CCDC200 protein might have.
Coiled-Coil Domain Containing protein 200 (CCDC200) is found in varying species of mammals such as primates, rodents, lagomorphs, and monotremes.[18]Since orthologs of the human CCDC200 protein have been found in platypus, which diverged from humans around 180 million years ago, and have also been found in reptile species (such as the brown anole which diverged 319 mya), due to the presence of this gene, we can conclude that the CCDC200 gene is at least 319 million years old.[19] Since this gene has been conserved across many different species for 320 million years, it suggests that it serves an important biological function.
The CCDC200 protein can be found in primata, rodentia, lagomorpha, carnivora, artiodactyla, monotremata, and reptilia, but was not found in aves or various fish clades.[18] However, it is worth noting that some aquatic mammalian species do have the CCDC200 protein, notably Phocoena sinus, Orcinus orca, and Kogia breviceps.[18]

Table 2. Table of CCDC200 Orthologs
This figure shows 20 orthologs of the human CCDC200 protein. Orthologs in seven orders were analyzed: primata (56.00-94.4% sequence identity), rodentia (39.9-86.96%), lagomorphs (47.4%), carnivora (30.8-44.6%), artiodactyla (36.5-52.7%), monotremata (25.0%), and reptilia (26.7%). It is also important to note that , there were no orthologs present in avian or fish species.[19] [18][20]

There are no human paralogs have been found yet for this protein.[1]
The CCDC family of proteins has been found to play a role in both physiological and pathological processes like hematopoiesis, embryogenesis, and have been implicated in the developments of some cancers.[22] Researchers have also identified highly conserved motif sequences in CCDC200 found within humans, even though there was considerable differentiation in non-human primates, suggesting that environmental pressures have selected for different traits.[23]
CCDC200 can be associated with immune function, cell communication, metabolic processes, and the nervous system due to its highly conserved motifs.[23] The gene’s potential role in immune function can suggest that the CCDC200 protein could have co-evolved with environmental pathogens.[23]
The knockout of CCDC200 was found to increase viral invasion and change host and pathogen interactions.[24] Gene knockout suggests that CCDC200 may play a role in contributing to the immune defense system by regulating the life cycle of viruses.[24]
