abstract = {Disrupted-in-Schizophrenia 1 (DISC1) is a widely-accepted
genetic risk factor for schizophrenia and many other major
mental illnesses. Traditionally DISC1 has been referred to
as a ‘scaffold protein’ because of its ability to bind
to a wide array of other proteins, including those of
importance for neurodevelopment. Here, we review the
characteristic properties shared between established
scaffold proteins and DISC1. We find DISC1 to have many, but
not all, of the characteristics of a scaffold protein, as it
affects a considerable number of different, but related,
signaling pathways, in most cases through inhibition of key
enzymes. Using threading algorithms, the C-terminal portion
of DISC1 could be mapped to extended helical structures, yet
it may not closely resemble any of the known tertiary folds.
While not completely fitting the classification of a
classical scaffold protein, DISC1 does appear to be a
tightly regulated and multi-faceted inhibitor of a wide
range of enzymes from interrelated signaling cascades
(Diverse Inhibitor of Signaling Cascades), which together
contribute to neurodevelopment and synaptic homeostasis.
Consequently, disruption of this complex regulation would be
expected to lead to the range of major mental illnesses in
which the DISC1 gene has been implicated.},
