Recently a number of nonclass I genes were discovered in the human MHC class I region. One of these, FAT10, encodes a protein consisting of two domains with homology to ubiquitin. FAT10 mRNA is expressed constitutively in some lymphoblastoid lines and dendritic cells and in certain other cells after gamma-interferon induction. FAT10 protein expression is controlled at several levels including transcription, translation, and protein stability. Yeast two-hybrid screening of a human lymphocyte library and immunoprecipitation studies revealed that FAT10 noncovalently associated with MAD2, a protein implicated in a cell-cycle checkpoint for spindle assembly during anaphase. Thus, FAT10 may modulate cell growth during B cell or dendritic cell development and activation.
