Summary
INTS6 (integrator complex subunit 6, HGNC:14879) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 13q14.3, encoding Integrator complex subunit 6 (Q9UL03). Component of the integrator complex, a multiprotein complex that terminates RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription in the promoter-proximal region of genes. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 73.9% of cell lines).
DEAD box proteins, characterized by the conserved motif Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD), are putative RNA helicases. The protein encoded by this gene is a DEAD box protein that is part of a complex that interacts with the C-terminus of RNA polymerase II and is involved in 3’ end processing of snRNAs. In addition, this gene is a candidate tumor suppressor and is located in the critical region of loss of heterozygosity (LOH). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function. Component of the integrator complex, a multiprotein complex that terminates RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription in the promoter-proximal region of genes. The integrator complex provides a quality checkpoint during transcription elongation by driving premature transcription termination of transcripts that are unfavorably configured for transcriptional elongation: the complex terminates transcription by (1) catalyzing dephosphorylation of the C-terminal domain (CTD) of Pol II subunit POLR2A and SUPT5H/SPT5, (2) degrading the exiting nascent RNA transcript via endonuclease activity and (3) promoting the release of Pol II from bound DNA. The integrator complex is also involved in terminating the synthesis of non-coding Pol II transcripts, such as enhancer RNAs (eRNAs), small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs), telomerase RNAs and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Within the integrator complex, INTS6 acts as a molecular adapter that promotes assembly of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) subunits to the integrator core complex, promoting recruitment of PP2A to transcription pause-release checkpoint. Mediates recruitment of cytoplasmic dynein to the nuclear envelope, probably as component of the integrator complex. May have a tumor suppressor role; an ectopic expression suppressing tumor cell growth.
Subunit / interactions. Component of the Integrator complex, composed of core subunits INTS1, INTS2, INTS3, INTS4, INTS5, INTS6, INTS7, INTS8, INTS9/RC74, INTS10, INTS11/CPSF3L, INTS12, INTS13, INTS14 and INTS15. The core complex associates with protein phosphatase 2A subunits PPP2CA and PPP2R1A, to form the Integrator-PP2A (INTAC) complex.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Chromosome.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed. Expressed in heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas.
Domain organisation. The inhibitory loop acts as a regulator of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) activity: Asp-629 and Glu-630 residues mimic phosphoserine and phosphothreonine residues and bind to the PP2A catalytic subunit PPP2CA active site to block substrate-binding.
Induction. Frequently down-regulated in nonsmall cell lung carcinomas and prostate cancers. Down-regulation in prostate cancer is due to CpG hypermethylation of its promoter. However, some involvement in cancer is unclear.
Similarity. Belongs to the Integrator subunit 6 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 114 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.
