Disease relevance of Tgs1

 

High impact information on Tgs1

  • The gene encoding this protein, designated PRIP-interacting protein with methyltransferase domain (PIMT), is localized on chromosome 8q11 and spans more than 40 kb [2].
  • PIMT binds S-adenosyl-l-methionine, the methyl donor for methyltransfer reaction, and it also binds RNA, suggesting that it is a putative RNA methyltransferase [2].
  • PIMT mRNA is ubiquitously expressed, with a high level of expression in heart, skeletal muscle, kidney, liver, and placenta [2].
  • Inhibition of PIMT/Tgs1 expression by siRNA in HeLa cells resulted in an increase in the percentage of cells in G2/M phases [3].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Tgs1

  • Using the immunofluorescence localization method, we found that PIMT and PRIP proteins appear colocalized in the nucleus [2].
