Description: Homo sapiens zinc finger protein 259 (ZPR1), mRNA. RefSeq Summary (NM_003904): The protein encoded by this gene is found in the cytoplasm of quiescent cells but translocates to the nucleolus in proliferating cells. The encoded protein interacts with survival motor neuron protein (SMN1) to enhance pre-mRNA splicing and to induce neuronal differentiation and axonal growth. Defects in this gene or the SMN1 gene can cause spinal muscular atrophy. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]. Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg19 chr11:116,649,276-116,658,739 Size: 9,464 Total Exon Count: 14 Strand: - Coding Region Position: hg19 chr11:116,649,641-116,658,706 Size: 9,066 Coding Exon Count: 14
ID:ZPR1_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Zinc finger protein ZPR1; AltName: Full=Zinc finger protein 259; FUNCTION: May be a signaling molecule that communicates mitogenic signals from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. SUBUNIT: Binds to the EGF and PDGF receptors. Binds to the elongation factor 1-alpha EF1A (By similarity). Component of an import snRNP complex composed of KPNB1, SNUPN, SMN1 and ZNF259. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Nucleus, nucleolus. Note=Translocates to the nucleolus after treatment with mitogens. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the ZPR1 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.
