RNASE1
geneOn this page
Also known as RAC1
Summary
RNASE1 (ribonuclease A family member 1, pancreatic, HGNC:10044) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 14q11.2, encoding Ribonuclease pancreatic (P07998). Endonuclease that catalyzes the cleavage of RNA on the 3’ side of pyrimidine nucleotides. In precision oncology, RAC1 P29S is associated with resistance to Vemurafenib + Dabrafenib in Melanoma (CIViC Level B); 1 further curated variant–drug associations are listed below. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 77.1% of cell lines).
This gene encodes a member of the pancreatic-type of secretory ribonucleases, a subset of the ribonuclease A superfamily. The encoded endonuclease cleaves internal phosphodiester RNA bonds on the 3’-side of pyrimidine bases. It prefers poly(C) as a substrate and hydrolyzes 2’,3’-cyclic nucleotides, with a pH optimum near 8.0. The encoded protein is monomeric and more commonly acts to degrade ds-RNA over ss-RNA. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and four transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified.

- Data suggest that ribonuclease inhibitor (RNH1) protects HeLa cells from ribonuclease 1 (RNase 1). (PMID:27806571)
- N-glycosylation of human RNase 1 improves its resistance to both thermal denaturation and proteolytic degradation but reduces its catalytic activity.N-glycosylation of Asn34 in human RNase 1 significantly improves overall protein stability while maintaining robust catalytic activity. (PMID:30633504)
- Chromatin immunoprecipitation kinetics revealed that HDAC2 accumulates at the RNASE1 promoter upon TNF-alpha stimulation, indicating an essential role for HDAC2 in regulating RNase1 expression. Thus, proinflammatory stimulation induced recruitment of HDAC2 to attenuate histone acetylation at the RNASE1 promoter site. (PMID:31039328)

Disease & clinical
Cancer significance
From CIViC — curated cancer-variant interpretation:
The RAC1 P29S mutation is the third most common protein-coding hotspot mutation in melanomas, ocurring in 4-9%. A preclinical study has shown that this mutation confers resistance to BRAF inhibition in-vitro.
From intOGen — cancer-driver classification: activating (oncogene-like) across 3 cancer types — HNSC, MEL, SKCM.
