NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a component of the nuclear THO transcription elongation complex, which is part of the larger transcription export (TREX) complex that couples messenger RNA processing and export. In humans, the transcription export complex is recruited to the 5'-end of messenger RNAs in a splicing- and cap-dependent manner. Studies of a related complex in mouse suggest that the metazoan transcription export complex is involved in cell differentiation and development. A pseudogene of this gene has been defined on chromosome 5. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]
Uniprot Description
Function: Component of the THO subcomplex of the TREX complex. The TREX complex specifically associates with spliced mRNA and not with unspliced pre-mRNA. It is recruited to spliced mRNAs by a transcription-independent mechanism. Binds to mRNA upstream of the exon-junction complex (EJC) and is recruited in a splicing- and cap-dependent manner to a region near the 5' end of the mRNA where it functions in mRNA export. The recruitment occurs via an interaction between ALYREF/THOC4 and the cap-binding protein NCBP1. DDX39B functions as a bridge between ALYREF/THOC4 and the THO complex. The TREX complex is essential for the export of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) intronless mRNAs and infectious virus production. The recruitment of the TREX complex to the intronless viral mRNA occurs via an interaction between KSHV ORF57 protein and ALYREF/THOC4. Ref.3 Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.6 Ref.7
Subunit structure: Component of the THO complex, which is composed of THOC1, THOC2, THOC5, THOC6 and THOC7. Together with THOC3, ALYREF/THOC4 and DDX39B, THO forms the transcription/export (TREX) complex. Ref.4 Ref.5
Subcellular location: Nucleus
Probable.
Sequence similarities: Contains 6 WD repeats.
Caution: There are two almost identical copies of this gene on chromosome 5q35. One copy is frameshifted and unlikely to encode a functional protein.
