Also known as dis3pRRP44EXOSC11
Summary
DIS3 (DIS3 exosome endoribonuclease and 3’-5’ exoribonuclease, HGNC:20604) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 13q21.33, encoding Exosome complex exonuclease RRP44 (Q9Y2L1). Putative catalytic component of the RNA exosome complex which has 3’->5’ exoribonuclease activity and participates in a multitude of cellular RNA processing and degradation events. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 85.4% of cell lines).
Enables 3’-5’-RNA exonuclease activity; endonuclease activity; and guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Involved in CUT catabolic process; RNA processing; and rRNA catabolic process. Located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Part of nuclear exosome (RNase complex). Implicated in primary ovarian insufficiency.

- DIS3 isoforms vary in their endoribonuclease activity and are differentially expressed within haematological cancers. (PMID:29802118)
- The 3.8 A resolution cryo-EM structure of the core complex bound to a single-stranded RNA reveals that the RNA channel path is formed by two distinct features of the hDIS3 exoribonuclease: an open conformation and a domain organization more similar to bacterial RNase II than to yeast Rrp44. (PMID:30047866)
- Here, we investigated the interplay of exosome-associated 3’-5’ exonucleases DIS3 and RRP6 in rRNA processing and by-product elimination in human cells (PMID:30266864)

Function. Putative catalytic component of the RNA exosome complex which has 3’->5’ exoribonuclease activity and participates in a multitude of cellular RNA processing and degradation events. In the nucleus, the RNA exosome complex is involved in proper maturation of stable RNA species such as rRNA, snRNA and snoRNA, in the elimination of RNA processing by-products and non-coding ‘pervasive’ transcripts, such as antisense RNA species and promoter-upstream transcripts (PROMPTs), and of mRNAs with processing defects, thereby limiting or excluding their export to the cytoplasm. The RNA exosome may be involved in Ig class switch recombination (CSR) and/or Ig variable region somatic hypermutation (SHM) by targeting AICDA deamination activity to transcribed dsDNA substrates. In the cytoplasm, the RNA exosome complex is involved in general mRNA turnover and specifically degrades inherently unstable mRNAs containing AU-rich elements (AREs) within their 3’ untranslated regions, and in RNA surveillance pathways, preventing translation of aberrant mRNAs. It seems to be involved in degradation of histone mRNA. DIS3 has both 3’-5’ exonuclease and endonuclease activities.
Subunit / interactions. Component of the RNA exosome complex; within the complex interacts with EXOSC4, EXOSC7 and EXOSC9 of the exosome core complex (Exo-9). The catalytically inactive RNA exosome core complex (Exo-9) associates with the catalytic subunit EXOSC10/RRP6. Exo-9 may associate with DIS3 to form the nucleolar exosome complex, or DIS3L to form the cytoplasmic exosome complex. Exo-9 is formed by a hexameric base ring consisting of the heterodimers EXOSC4-EXOSC9, EXOSC5-EXOSC8 and EXOSC6-EXOSC7, and a cap ring consisting of EXOSC1, EXOSC2 and EXOSC3; DIS3 associates with the base ring of Exo-9. The RNA exosome complex associates with cofactors C1D/RRP47, MPHOSPH6/MPP6 and MTREX/MTR4. Interacts with DHX34; the interaction is RNA-independent.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Nucleolus. Nucleoplasm.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed.
Miscellaneous. The association of DIS3 with the RNA exosome complex appears to be weak explaining its absence in some complex purifications.
Similarity. Belongs to the RNR ribonuclease family.
