PSF (PTB-associated splicing factor)

Identity

Other names	SFPQ (splicing factor proline/glutamine rich)
Hugo	SFPQ
Location	1p34

DNA/RNA

Transcription

alternative splicing; 3 kb mRNA complete cds; coding sequence: CDS 86..2209

Protein

Description	707-712 amino acids; 76 kDa; N-term proline/glutamine rich domain, a prolin rich region, 2 tandem RNA binding domains, and C-term.
Localisation	nucleus
Function	splicing factor required early in spliceosome formation; form a complex with the polypyrimidine tract binding protein (PTB, herein the name); involved in pre-m RNA splicing step 2 (step 1: cut after exon n, intron n is still joined to exon n+1; step 2: cut between intron n and exon n+1, join exons n and n+1); forms a heterodimer with p54nrb (nuclear RNA binbing) a protein sharing vast homologies, encoded by NONO; both form complexes with DNA topoisomerase I, which renders this enzyme much more active.
Homology	with the above mentioned NONE product and with other proteins with a DBHS domain (Drosophila behaviour, human splicing) which includes the tandem RNA binding domains.

Implicated in

Entity	t(X;1)(p11.2;p34) in renal cell carcinoma --> PSF/TFE3
Disease	t(X;1)(p11.2;p34) has only been found in a handfull cases of papillary renal cell carcinoma
Hybrid/Mutated Gene	5' PSF- 3' TFE3
Abnormal Protein	N-term PSF and most of it fused to the DNA binding domains of TFE3 (excluding the acidic transcriptional activation domain, including the C-term helix-loop-helix, and the leucine zipper); no TFE3-PSF reciprocal transcript, as the der(X) t(X;1) is missing; the normal TFE3 transcript is found.
