RNASEH2C
geneOn this page
Also known as AYP1AGS3
Summary
RNASEH2C (ribonuclease H2 subunit C, HGNC:24116) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11q13.1, encoding Ribonuclease H2 subunit C (Q8TDP1). Non catalytic subunit of RNase H2, an endonuclease that specifically degrades the RNA of RNA:DNA hybrids. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 26.2% of cell lines).
This gene encodes a ribonuclease H subunit that can cleave ribonucleotides from RNA:DNA duplexes. Mutations in this gene cause Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome-3, a disease that causes severe neurologic dysfunction. A pseudogene for this gene has been identified on chromosome Y, near the sex determining region Y (SRY) gene.

All UniProt accessions (2): Q8TDP1, E9PN81
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Non catalytic subunit of RNase H2, an endonuclease that specifically degrades the RNA of RNA:DNA hybrids. Participates in DNA replication, possibly by mediating the removal of lagging-strand Okazaki fragment RNA primers during DNA replication. Mediates the excision of single ribonucleotides from DNA:RNA duplexes.
Subunit / interactions. The RNase H2 complex is a heterotrimer composed of the catalytic subunit RNASEH2A and the non-catalytic subunits RNASEH2B and RNASEH2C.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed.
Disease relevance. Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome 3 (AGS3) [MIM:610329] A form of Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome, a genetically heterogeneous disease characterized by cerebral atrophy, leukoencephalopathy, intracranial calcifications, chronic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lymphocytosis, increased CSF alpha-interferon, and negative serologic investigations for common prenatal infection. Clinical features as thrombocytopenia, hepatosplenomegaly and elevated hepatic transaminases along with intermittent fever may erroneously suggest an infective process. Severe neurological dysfunctions manifest in infancy as progressive microcephaly, spasticity, dystonic posturing and profound psychomotor retardation. Death often occurs in early childhood. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Miscellaneous. The T6 pseudogene located upstream of SRY on chromosome Y is derived from the transcript of this gene.
Similarity. Belongs to the RNase H2 subunit C family.
