Probability (GAS) of Function in Spermatogenesis |
0.59710571
The probability was calculated by GAS algorithm, ranging from 0 to 1. The closer it is to 1, the more possibly it functions in spermatogenesis. |

1. This study describes comprehensive polling of transcription start and termination sites and analysis of previously unidentified full-length complementary DNAs derived from the mouse genome. We identify the 5' and 3' boundaries of 181,047 transcripts with extensive variation in transcripts arising from alternative promoter usage, splicing, and polyadenylation. There are 16,247 new mouse protein-coding transcripts, including 5154 encoding previously unidentified proteins. Genomic mapping of the transcriptome reveals transcriptional forests, with overlapping transcription on both strands, separated by deserts in which few transcripts are observed. The data provide a comprehensive platform for the comparative analysis of mammalian transcriptional regulation in differentiation and development. PMID: [16141072]
2. The National Institutes of Health's Mammalian Gene Collection (MGC) project was designed to generate and sequence a publicly accessible cDNA resource containing a complete open reading frame (ORF) for every human and mouse gene. The project initially used a random strategy to select clones from a large number of cDNA libraries from diverse tissues. Candidate clones were chosen based on 5'-EST sequences, and then fully sequenced to high accuracy and analyzed by algorithms developed for this project. Currently, more than 11,000 human and 10,000 mouse genes are represented in MGC by at least one clone with a full ORF. The random selection approach is now reaching a saturation point, and a transition to protocols targeted at the missing transcripts is now required to complete the mouse and human collections. Comparison of the sequence of the MGC clones to reference genome sequences reveals that most cDNA clones are of very high sequence quality, although it is likely that some cDNAs may carry missense variants as a consequence of experimental artifact, such as PCR, cloning, or reverse transcriptase errors. Recently, a rat cDNA component was added to the project, and ongoing frog (Xenopus) and zebrafish (Danio) cDNA projects were expanded to take advantage of the high-throughput MGC pipeline.

3. Zipper-interacting protein kinase (ZIPK) is a widely expressed serine/threonine kinase that has been implicated in cell death and transcriptional regulation, but its mechanism of regulation remains unknown. In our previous study, we showed that leukemia inhibitory factor stimulated threonine-265 phosphorylation of ZIPK, thereby leading to phosphorylation and activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3. Here, we identified UbcH5c as a novel ZIPK-binding partner by yeast two-hybrid screening. Importantly, we found that UbcH5c induced ubiquitination of ZIPK. Small-interfering RNA-mediated reduction of endogenous UbcH5 expression decreased ZIPK ubiquitination. Furthermore, coexpression of UbcH5c with ZIPK influenced promyelocytic leukemia protein nuclear body (PML-NB) formation. These results suggest that UbcH5 regulates ZIPK accumulation in PML-NBs by interacting with ZIPK and stimulating its ubiquitination. PMID: [18515077]

Function |
Accepts ubiquitin from the E1 complex and catalyzes itscovalent attachment to other proteins. In vitro catalyzes 'Lys-11'-, as well as 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitination. Cooperateswith the E2 CDC34 and the SCF(FBXW11) E3 ligase complex for thepolyubiquitination of NFKBIA leading to its subsequent proteasomaldegradation. Acts as an initiator E2, priming the phosphorylatedNFKBIA target at positions 'Lys-21' and/or 'Lys-22' with amonoubiquitin. Ubiquitin chain elongation is then performed byCDC34, building ubiquitin chains from the UBE2D3-primed NFKBIA-linked ubiquitin. Acts also as an initiator E2, in conjunctionwith RNF8, for the priming of PCNA. Monoubiquitination of PCNA,and its subsequent polyubiquitination, are essential events in theoperation of the DNA damage tolerance (DDT) pathway that isactivated after DNA damage caused by UV or chemical agents duringS-phase. Associates with the BRCA1/BARD1 E3 ligase complex toperform ubiquitination at DNA damage sites following ionizingradiation leading to DNA repair. Targets DAPK3 for ubiquitinationwhich influences promyelocytic leukemia protein nuclear body (PML-NB) formation in the nucleus. In conjunction with the MDM2 andTOPORS E3 ligases, functions ubiquitination of p53/TP53. SupportsNRDP1-mediated ubiquitination and degradation of ERBB3 and ofBRUCE which triggers apoptosis. In conjunction with the CBL E3ligase, targets EGFR for polyubiquitination at the plasma membraneas well as during its internalization and transport on endosomes.In conjunction with the STUB1 E3 quality control E3 ligase,ubiquitinates unfolded proteins to catalyze their immediatedestruction (By similarity).
