ID:DI3L2_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=DIS3-like exonuclease 2; EC=3.1.13.-; FUNCTION: Ribonuclease that plays a critical role in RNA metabolism. It is essential for correct mitosis, and negatively regulates cell proliferation. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. POLYMORPHISM: Disrupted by a t(2;7)(q37.1;q21.3) chromosomal translocation found in a patient suffering from Marfanoid habitus and skeletal anomalies. However, its absence does not seem to be the cause of the disease. DISEASE: Defects in DIS3L2 are the cause of Perlman syndrome (PRLMNS) [MIM:267000]. An autosomal recessive congenital overgrowth syndrome. Affected children are large at birth, are hypotonic, and show organomegaly, characteristic facial dysmorphisms (inverted V-shaped upper lip, prominent forehead, deep-set eyes, broad and flat nasal bridge, and low-set ears), renal anomalies (nephromegaly and hydronephrosis), frequent neurodevelopmental delay, and high neonatal mortality. Perlman syndrome is associated with a high risk of Wilms tumor. Histologic examination of the kidneys in affected children shows frequent nephroblastomatosis, which is a precursor lesion for Wilms tumor. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the RNR ribonuclease family. CAUTION: Although assigned as two separate genes (DIS3L2 and FAM6A), it is quite clear that the gene FAM6A described by PubMed:11352565 is a fragmentary prediction of DIS3L2.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
