Summary
SMG6 (SMG6 nonsense mediated mRNA decay factor, HGNC:17809) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17p13.3, encoding Telomerase-binding protein EST1A (Q86US8). Component of the telomerase ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex that is essential for the replication of chromosome termini. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 91.6% of cancer cell lines).
This gene encodes a component of the telomerase ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for the replication and maintenance of chromosome ends. The encoded protein also plays a role in the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway, providing the endonuclease activity near the premature translation termination codon that is needed to initiate NMD. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct protein isoforms have been described.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 17)
- associated with most or all active telomerase in HeLa cell extracts; overexpression of hEST1A induces anaphase bridges due to chromosome-end fusions, and telomeric DNA persists at the fusion points (PMID:12676087)
- Human EST1A is associated with most or all active telomerase and is involved either directly or indirectly in telomere elongation and telomere capping. (PMID:16820686)
- Structural properties of the PIN domain indicate its putative active center consisting of invariant acidic amino acid residues, which is similar to the active center of 5’ nucleases. (PMID:17557331)
- Report shows that hEST1A assembles specifically with telomerase in the context of the telomerase RNA (hTR)-hTERT ribonucleoprotein, through the high affinity of hEST1A for hTR and specific protein-protein contacts with hTERT. (PMID:17940095)
- Data show that SMG6 interacts directly with the EJC via two conserved EJC-binding motifs (EBMs). (PMID:20930030)
- The tricotetrapeptide repeat-containing domain within Est1A was sufficient for interaction with hTERT. (PMID:22011238)
- Consistent with involvement of SMG6 in the decay process full-length nonsense-containing beta-globin mRNA was increased and the Delta169 decay intermediate was decreased in cells knocked down for SMG6. (PMID:24086375)
- The study demonstrates that SMG5-SMG7 and SMG6 exhibit different and non-overlapping modes of UPF1 recognition, thus pointing at distinguished roles in integrating the complex nonsense-mediated mRNA decay interaction network. (PMID:25013172)
- SMG6 requires UPF1 and SMG1 for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. (PMID:25053839)
- A preferred sequence motif spanning most SMG6 cleavage sites has been discovered by analysis of endogenous non-sense-mediated mRNA decay targets. (PMID:25429978)
- Transcriptome-wide identification of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay-targeted human mRNAs reveals extensive redundancy between SMG6- and SMG7-mediated degradation pathways. (PMID:27864472)
- Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) substrates with PTCs undergo constitutive SMG6-dependent endocleavage, rather than SMG7-dependent exonucleolytic decay. In contrast, the turnover of NMD substrates containing upstream ORFs and long 3’ UTRs involves both SMG6- and SMG7-dependent endo- and exonucleolytic decay, respectively; extent to which SMG6 and SMG7 degrade NMD substrates is determined by the mRNA architecture. (PMID:28461625)
- SRR intronic variation inhibits expression of its neighboring SMG6 gene and protects against temporal lobe epilepsy. (PMID:29363864)
- Readthrough of stop codons under limiting ABCE1 concentration involves frameshifting and inhibits nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. (PMID:32941650)

Function. Component of the telomerase ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex that is essential for the replication of chromosome termini. May have a general role in telomere regulation. Promotes in vitro the ability of TERT to elongate telomeres. Overexpression induces telomere uncapping, chromosomal end-to-end fusions (telomeric DNA persists at the fusion points) and did not perturb TRF2 telomeric localization. Binds to the single-stranded 5’-(GTGTGG)(4)GTGT-3’ telomeric DNA, but not to a telomerase RNA template component (TER). Plays a role in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Is thought to provide a link to the mRNA degradation machinery as it has endonuclease activity required to initiate NMD, and to serve as an adapter for UPF1 to protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), thereby triggering UPF1 dephosphorylation. Degrades single-stranded RNA (ssRNA), but not ssDNA or dsRNA.
Subunit / interactions. May form homooligomers. Associated component of the telomerase holoenzyme complex. Interacts with TERT, independently of the telomerase RNA. Interacts with SMG1, SMG5, SMG7, UPF1, UPF2, UPF3B and the PP2A catalytic subunits. Also interacts with the exon junction complex (EJC) composed at least of CASC3, EIF4A3, MAGOH and RBM8A; required for the process of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Interacts with DHX34; the interaction is RNA-independent.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Nucleolus. Chromosome. Telomere. Cytoplasm. Cytosol.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitous.
Domain organisation. The PINc domain confers endonuclease activity and is expected to bind the catalytic metal ion.
