High impact information on DGCR6L

We mapped the DGCR6 gene to chromosome 22q11 within a low copy repeat, termed sc11.1a, and identified a second copy of the gene, DGCR6L, within the duplicate locus, termed sc11.1b [1].
As the DGCR6 protein(s) influence gene expression in trans, we analysed the influence of DGCR6/DGCR6L on the Epstein-Barr virus-encoded oncoproteins EBNA2 and EBNA3c in the activation of the viral LMP1 promoter, as well as LMP1-mediated activation of NFkB, but found no effect in either setting [2].
