What's a GeneRIF?
  1. High ZCCHC6 expression is associated with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
    Title: Induction of ZCCHC6 expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells by HNSCC secretions.
  2. ZCCHC6 (TUT7) was markedly up-regulated in damaged cartilage from human osteoarthritis (OA) patients and from wild-type mice with surgically induced OA.
    Title: Genetic Inactivation of ZCCHC6 Suppresses Interleukin-6 Expression and Reduces the Severity of Experimental Osteoarthritis in Mice.
  3. This tail-U-mediated repression (TUMR) is abolished in cells lacking the uridylation enzymes TUT4 and TUT7, indicating that uridylation alters miRNA function by modulating target recognition. We identified a set of non-canonical targets in human cells that are specifically regulated by uridylated miR-27a.
    Title: 3' Uridylation Confers miRNAs with Non-canonical Target Repertoires.
  4. Uridine residues added by TUT7 in the cytoplasm inhibit initiation of reverse transcription of LINE-1 mRNAs once they are reimported to the nucleus.
    Title: Uridylation by TUT4/7 Restricts Retrotransposition of Human LINE-1s.
  5. Results from a study on gene expression variability markers in early-stage human embryos shows that TUT7 (ZCCHC6) is a putative expression variability marker for the 3-day, 8-cell embryo stage.
    Title: Variability of Gene Expression Identifies Transcriptional Regulators of Early Human Embryonic Development.
  6. Following an intratracheal challenge with S. pneumoniae, Zcchc6 deficiency led to a modest but significant increase in the expression of select cytokines including IL-6, CXCL1, and CXCL5. These findings were recapitulated in vitro whereby Zcchc6-deficient macrophages exhibited similar increases in cytokine expression due to bacterial stimulation
    Title: The RNA uridyltransferase Zcchc6 is expressed in macrophages and impacts innate immune responses.
  7. The authors found that TUT4(7) utilize two multidomain functional modules during the switch from either promoting expression of let-7 microRNA (monoU) or marking it for degradation (oligoU).
    Title: Multi-domain utilization by TUT4 and TUT7 in control of let-7 biogenesis.
  8. Knockdown of 3'hExo also altered the uridylation of histone mRNAs, suggesting that TUT7 and 3'hExo function together in trimming and uridylating histone mRNAs
    Title: TUT7 catalyzes the uridylation of the 3' end for rapid degradation of histone mRNA.
  9. TUT7 generates an oligo-U tail in microRNAs that leads to degradation.
    Title: TUT7 controls the fate of precursor microRNAs by using three different uridylation mechanisms.
  10. Study identified TUT4 and TUT7 as uridylyl transferases for poly(A)+ mRNAs in humans and delineated in detail the action mechanism and molecular function of uridylation in the mRNA decay pathway.
    Title: Uridylation by TUT4 and TUT7 marks mRNA for degradation.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
