Exosome component 2, also known as EXOSC2, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the EXOSC2 gene. [5] [6]
Mammalian mRNAs contain AU-rich elements (AREs) within their three prime untranslated regions. In yeast, 3-prime-to-5-prime mRNA degradation is mediated by the exosome, a multisubunit particle. EXOSC2 (which is homologous to the yeast Rrp4 protein) is a component of the human exosome. [7]
Exosome component 2 has been shown to interact with:
An oncogene is a gene that has the potential to cause cancer. In tumor cells, these genes are often mutated, or expressed at high levels.
The Philadelphia chromosome or Philadelphia translocation (Ph) is a specific genetic abnormality in chromosome 22 of leukemia cancer cells. This chromosome is defective and unusually short because of reciprocal translocation, t(9;22)(q34;q11), of genetic material between chromosome 9 and chromosome 22, and contains a fusion gene called BCR-ABL1. This gene is the ABL1 gene of chromosome 9 juxtaposed onto the breakpoint cluster region BCR gene of chromosome 22, coding for a hybrid protein: a tyrosine kinase signalling protein that is "always on", causing the cell to divide uncontrollably by interrupting the stability of the genome and impairing various signaling pathways governing the cell cycle.
A fusion gene is a hybrid gene formed from two previously independent genes. It can occur as a result of translocation, interstitial deletion, or chromosomal inversion. Fusion genes have been found to be prevalent in all main types of human neoplasia. The identification of these fusion genes play a prominent role in being a diagnostic and prognostic marker.
Tyrosine-protein kinase ABL1 also known as ABL1 is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the ABL1 gene located on chromosome 9. c-Abl is sometimes used to refer to the version of the gene found within the mammalian genome, while v-Abl refers to the viral gene, which was initially isolated from the Abelson murine leukemia virus.
The breakpoint cluster region protein (BCR) also known as renal carcinoma antigen NY-REN-26 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BCR gene. BCR is one of the two genes in the BCR-ABL complex, which is associated with the Philadelphia chromosome. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
The exosome complex is a multi-protein intracellular complex capable of degrading various types of RNA molecules. Exosome complexes are found in both eukaryotic cells and archaea, while in bacteria a simpler complex called the degradosome carries out similar functions.
Docking protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DOK1 gene.
Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 3 (Rac3) is a G protein that in humans is encoded by the RAC3 gene. It is an important component of intracellular signalling pathways. Rac3 is a member of the Rac subfamily of the Rho family of small G proteins. Members of this superfamily appear to regulate a diverse array of cellular events, including the control of cell growth, cytoskeletal reorganization, and the activation of protein kinases.
Exosome component 10, also known as EXOSC10, is a human gene, the protein product of which is part of the exosome complex and is an autoantigen is patients with certain auto immune diseases, most notably scleromyositis.
Exosome complex exonuclease RRP44 or Dis3 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DIS3 gene. Its protein product is an RNase enzyme homologous to the yeast protein Rrp44, and can be part of the exosome complex in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
Exosome component 8, also known as EXOSC8, is a human gene, the protein product of which is part of the exosome complex.
Exosome component 7, also known as EXOSC7, is a human gene, the protein product of which is part of the exosome complex.
Exosome component 3, also known as EXOSC3, is a human gene, which is part of the exosome complex.
Exosome component 9, also known as EXOSC9, is a human gene, the protein product of which is part of the exosome complex and is an autoantigen is patients with certain auto immune diseases, most notably scleromyositis.
Exosome component 4, also known as EXOSC4, is a human gene, which is part of the exosome complex.
Superkiller viralicidic activity 2-like 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SKIV2L2 gene.
3'-5' exoribonuclease CSL4 homolog is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the EXOSC1 gene.
Exosome component 5, also known as EXOSC5, is a human gene, which is part of the exosome complex.
Exosome complex exonuclease MTR3 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the EXOSC6 gene.
Split hand/foot malformation (ectrodactyly) type 3 pseudogene 1, also known as SHFM3P1, is a human gene.
