IQ motif and WD repeats 1 (IQWD1) WD-repeat proteins are a large family of eukaryotic proteins coordinating multi-protein complex assemblies and their role has been implicated in multiple cellular processes including signal transduction, transcriptional regulation, cell cycle control and apoptosis. NRIP is a novel 860aa nuclear protein consisting of seven conserved WD40 domains and one NLS motif. It binds to androgen and glucocorticoid receptors and up regulates their transcriptional activity, thereby functioning as a nuclear receptor coactivator. Role of NRIP has been implicated in cell growth and also in cervical and prostrate cancer thus indicating a therapeutic intervention. Northern Blot analysis detected a high expression of NRIP in skeletal muscle and testis and low expression in heart, prostrate and adrenal gland.
