ID:REN3B_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Regulator of nonsense transcripts 3B; AltName: Full=Nonsense mRNA reducing factor 3B; AltName: Full=Up-frameshift suppressor 3 homolog B; Short=hUpf3B; AltName: Full=Up-frameshift suppressor 3 homolog on chromosome X; Short=hUpf3p-X; FUNCTION: Involved in nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) of mRNAs containing premature stop codons by associating with the nuclear exon junction complex (EJC) and serving as link between the EJC core and NMD machinery. Recruits UPF2 at the cytoplasmic side of the nuclear envelope and the subsequent formation of an UPF1-UPF2- UPF3 surveillance complex (including UPF1 bound to release factors at the stalled ribosome) is believed to activate NMD. In cooperation with UPF2 stimulates both ATPase and RNA helicase activities of UPF1. Binds spliced mRNA upstream of exon-exon junctions. In vitro, stimulates translation; the function is indepenedent of association with UPF2 and components of the EJC core. SUBUNIT: Found in a post-splicing messenger ribonucleoprotein (mRNP) complex. Associates with the exon junction complex (EJC); the EJC core components EIF4A3 and the MAGOH-RBM8A dimer form a composite binding site for UPF3B which overlaps with the EJC binding site for WIBG. Interacts with EST1A, UPF2 and RBM8A. INTERACTION: P38919:EIF4A3; NbExp=4; IntAct=EBI-372780, EBI-299104; Q9Y5S9:RBM8A; NbExp=8; IntAct=EBI-372780, EBI-447231; Q92900:UPF1; NbExp=8; IntAct=EBI-372780, EBI-373471; Q9HAU5:UPF2; NbExp=6; IntAct=EBI-372780, EBI-372073; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Note=Shuttling between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in testis, uterus, prostate, heart, muscle, brain, spinal cord and placenta. DISEASE: Defects in UPF3B are the cause of mental retardation syndromic X-linked type 14 (MRXS14) [MIM:300676]. Mental retardation is characterized by significantly below average general intellectual functioning associated with impairments in adaptative behavior and manifested during the developmental period. MRXS14 patients manifest mental retardation associated with other variable signs such as autistic features, slender build, poor musculature, long, thin face, high-arched palate, high nasal bridge, and pectus deformities. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the RENT3 family.
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.
