RBFOX3
geneOn this page
Also known as FOX-3NeuNHRNBP3
Summary
RBFOX3 (RNA binding fox-1 homolog 3, HGNC:27097) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17q25.3, encoding RNA binding protein fox-1 homolog 3 (A6NFN3). Pre-mRNA alternative splicing regulator.
This gene encodes a member of the RNA-binding FOX protein family which is involved in the regulation of alternative splicing of pre-mRNA. The protein has an N-terminal proline-rich region, an RNA recognition motif (RRM) domain, and a C-terminal alanine-rich region. This gene produces the neuronal nuclei (NeuN) antigen that has been widely used as a marker for post-mitotic neurons. This gene has its highest expression in the central nervous system and plays a prominent role in neural tissue development and regulation of adult brain function. Mutations in this gene have been associated with numerous neurological disorders. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 17)
- NeuN (neuronal nuclei) is a neuron-specific nuclear protein identified by anti-NeuN antibody, and widely used as the postmitotic neuron marker. NeuN is identified as the Fox-3 gene product by mass spectrometry, immunoblotting, RNAi, and immunostaining. (PMID:19713214)
- High NeuN levels are associated with supratentorial ependymomas. (PMID:23371454)
- In addition, eight genes classified as ‘second tier’ hits in the original study (PAX7, THADA, COL8A1/FILIP1L, DCAF4L2, GADD45G, NTN1, RBFOX3 and FOXE1) showed evidence of linkage and association in this replication sample. (PMID:23512105)
- NeuN immunocytochemical reaction in neurons of human substantia nigra was expressed much weaker than in the nucleus rubrum neurons located in the same sections. (PMID:23898728)
- Exome sequencing of 242 rolandic epilepsy patients revealed two novel probably deleterious variants in RBFOX1, a frameshift mutation (p.A233Vfs*74) and a hexanucleotide deletion (p.A299_A300del), and a novel nonsense mutation in RBFOX3 (p.Y287*). (PMID:24039908)
- RNA splicing occurs in the nucleus hence, the altered localization of RbFox3 to the cytoplasm may lead to the downregulation of neuronal gene expression. (PMID:24215932)
- RBFOX proteins can facilitate the splicing of micro-exons. We also found that PTBP1 likely regulates the inclusion of micro-exons, possibly by repressing the inclusion of micro-exons that are enhanced by RBFOX proteins and other splicing factors.[RBFOX] (PMID:25524026)
- NeuN was recently eventually identified as an epitope of Rbfox3. NeuN is highly conserved among species and is stably expressed during specific stages of development. NeuN has been considered to be a reliable marker of mature neurons, however, this role has been challenged by recent studies indicating that NeuN staining is variable and even absent during certain diseases and states. Review. (PMID:25680637)
- SNPs (rs9900428, rs9907432 and rs7211029) in RBFOX3 associate with sleep latency. (PMID:27142678)
- this study show that TGF-beta-induced RBFOX3 inhibition plays an important role in epithelial-mesenchymal transition and lung cancer progression (PMID:27432190)
- In human lung tissue, Claudin-1 is higher in RBFOX3-positive cells than in RBFOX3-negative cells. Immunostaining and mRNA quantification revealed that protein levels, but not mRNA levels, of Claudin-1 are increased by RBFOX3. (PMID:28126724)
- RBFOX3 knockdown synergized with 5-FU to inhibit the growth and invasion of HCC cells through PI3K/AKT and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) signaling, and promote apoptosis by activating the cytochrome-c/caspase signaling pathway. (PMID:29689552)
- Differential Clinical Features in Colombian Patients With Rolandic Epilepsy and Suggestion of Unlikely Association With GRIN2A, RBFOX1, or RBFOX3 Gene Variants. (PMID:34039076)
- Genetic variants in splicing factor genes and susceptibility to bladder cancer. (PMID:34673209)
- Altered temporal sequence of transcriptional regulators in the generation of human cerebellar granule cells. (PMID:34842137)
- NeuN, a DNA-binding neuron-specific protein expressed by Merkel cell carcinoma: analysis of 15 cases. (PMID:34974547)
- Paclitaxel-induced inhibition of NSCLC invasion and migration via RBFOX3-mediated circIGF1R biogenesis. (PMID:38191906)
