FUSION GENES
DNA/RNA

Boxes are exons. The lines are introns. Shaded parts of the exon boxes are coding regions. Unshaded parts are noncoding regions.
Description
The gene is on the plus strand and encompasses 35 kb of DNA. The exon number of gene is 3 and parts of the second and third exons encode the protein (ENSP00000302543).
Transcription
1447 bp long mRNA; 969 bp long open reading frame.
Pseudogene
No reported pseudogenes.
Proteins

CXXC5 contains a nuclear localization signal adjacent to the CXXC-zinc finger domain.
Description
CXXC5 encodes a 322 amino-acid protein with a molecular mass of 33 kDa. Amino-acid sequence suggests that CXXC5 contains a number of phosphorylation and acetylation sites. By homology, CXXC5 is considered to be a member of CXXC-type zinc finger protein family, which binds to non-methylated CpG dinuclotide containing DNA.
Expression
CXXC5 is expressed in various tissues.
Localisation
CXXC5 protein is mainly in the nucleus. CXXC5 protein may also be localized in the cytoplasm coupled with Dishevelled (Dvl) protein (Andersson et al., 2009).
Function
CXXC5 can be induced by retinoid signaling and is required for myelopoiesis (Pendino et al., 2009). CXXC5 protein is involved in the DNA-damage induced p53 activation as well as in the regulation of cell cycle and apoptosis (Zhang et al., 2009). CXXC5 protein participates in the TNF-a-induced apoptosis through association with SMAD (Wang et al., 2013). CXXC5 protein is a critical modulator of BMP4-regulated Wnt-signaling in neural stem cells (Andersson et al., 2009). CXXC5 protein is shown to repress TET2 gene expression (Ko et al., 2013).

Implicated in
Entity name
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)
Disease
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a disease manifested by cytogenetic anomalies affecting cell proliferation, death and differentiation (Renneville et al., 2008). Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) defines a hematological condition with insufficient hematopoiesis. MDS results from chromosomal deletions, inversions and translocations giving rise to trilineage dysplasia (Mhawech and Saleem, 2001).
Oncogenesis
The region on the chromosome 5 which also contains CXXC5 gene (5q31.2) is often deleted in AML and MDS (Treppendahl et al., 2013). Low survival rate has been observed in intensive chemotherapy treated patients with AML who show a high level of CXXC5 gene expression (Astori et al., 2013).
Entity name
Disease
APL, which is characterized by the translocation event of the retinoic acid receptor alpha gene, is a rare subtype of AML in which leukemia cells are sensitive to anthracyclines (Tallman and Altman, 2008).
Oncogenesis
Terminal maturation of premyelocytic leukemia cells requires the expression of CXXC5 (Pendino et al., 2009).
Entity name
Breast cancer
Disease
Breast cancer is a disease which is mainly originated in the lining of the milk ducts and/or the lobules.
Oncogenesis
It has been shown that CXXC5 is transcriptionally upregulated in some solid tumors including melanoma, thyroid and breast cancer. In addition, overexpression of CXXC5 in breast cancer is suggested to be associated with poor prognosis (Knappskog et al., 2011).
