Summary
CASC3 (CASC3 exon junction complex subunit, HGNC:17040) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17q21.1, encoding Protein CASC3 (O15234). Required for pre-mRNA splicing as component of the spliceosome. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 34.4% of cell lines).
The product of this gene is a core component of the exon junction complex (EJC), a protein complex that is deposited on spliced mRNAs at exon-exon junctions and functions in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). The encoded protein binds RNA and interacts with two other EJC core components. It is predominantly located in the cytoplasm, but shuttles into the nucleus where it localizes to nuclear speckles.

Function. Required for pre-mRNA splicing as component of the spliceosome. Core component of the splicing-dependent multiprotein exon junction complex (EJC) deposited at splice junctions on mRNAs. The EJC is a dynamic structure consisting of core proteins and several peripheral nuclear and cytoplasmic associated factors that join the complex only transiently either during EJC assembly or during subsequent mRNA metabolism. The EJC marks the position of the exon-exon junction in the mature mRNA for the gene expression machinery and the core components remain bound to spliced mRNAs throughout all stages of mRNA metabolism thereby influencing downstream processes including nuclear mRNA export, subcellular mRNA localization, translation efficiency and nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). Stimulates the ATPase and RNA-helicase activities of EIF4A3. Plays a role in the stress response by participating in cytoplasmic stress granules assembly and by favoring cell recovery following stress. Component of the dendritic ribonucleoprotein particles (RNPs) in hippocampal neurons. May play a role in mRNA transport. Binds spliced mRNA in sequence-independent manner, 20-24 nucleotides upstream of mRNA exon-exon junctions. Binds poly(G) and poly(U) RNA homomer.
Subunit / interactions. Identified in the spliceosome C complex. Component of the mRNA splicing-dependent exon junction complex (EJC), which contains at least CASC3, EIF4A3, MAGOH, NXF1 and RBM8A/Y14. Identified in a complex composed of the EJC core, UPF3B and UPF2. The EJC core can also interact with UPF3A (in vitro). Forms homooligomers. Interacts with STAU in an RNA-dependent manner. Interacts with DHX34; the interaction is RNA-independent.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Perinuclear region. Nucleus. Nucleus speckle. Stress granule. Cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granule. Cell projection. Dendrite.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed. Overexpressed in breast cancers and metastasis, as well as in gastric cancers.
Post-translational modifications. ADP-ribosylated by tankyrase TNKS and TNKS2. Poly-ADP-ribosylated protein is recognized by RNF146, followed by ubiquitination. Ubiquitinated by RNF146 when poly-ADP-ribosylated, leading to its degradation.
Domain organisation. The coiled coil domain may be involved in oligomerization.
Similarity. Belongs to the CASC3 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 134 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
