| Specificity | Recombinant fusion protein containing a sequence corresponding to amino acids 180-340 of human DGCR8 (NP_073557.3). |
Additional Info
| Tissue Specificity | Ubiquitously expressed. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated at Ser-677 by ATM upon radiation, which is crucial for its stability. Ubiquitinated, leading to degradation in a proteasome-dependent manner. Deubiquitinated by USP51, leading to stabilization. |
| Function | Component of the microprocessor complex that acts as a RNA- and heme-binding protein that is involved in the initial step of microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis. Component of the microprocessor complex that is required to process primary miRNA transcripts (pri-miRNAs) to release precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA) in the nucleus. Within the microprocessor complex, DGCR8 function as a molecular anchor necessary for the recognition of pri-miRNA at dsRNA-ssRNA junction and directs DROSHA to cleave 11 bp away form the junction to release hairpin-shaped pre-miRNAs that are subsequently cut by the cytoplasmic DICER to generate mature miRNAs. The heme-bound DGCR8 dimer binds pri-miRNAs as a cooperative trimer (of dimers) and is active in triggering pri-miRNA cleavage, whereas the heme-free DGCR8 monomer binds pri-miRNAs as a dimer and is much less active. Both double-stranded and single-stranded regions of a pri-miRNA are required for its binding. Specifically recognizes and binds N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-containing pri-miRNAs, a modification required for pri-miRNAs processing. Involved in the silencing of embryonic stem cell self-renewal. Also plays a role in DNA repair by promoting the recruitment of RNF168 to RNF8 and MDC1 at DNA double-strand breaks and subsequently the clearance of DNA breaks. |
