Summary
THOC1 (THO complex subunit 1, HGNC:19070) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 18p11.32, encoding THO complex subunit 1 (Q96FV9). Component of the THO subcomplex of the TREX complex which is thought to couple mRNA transcription, processing and nuclear export, and which specifically associates with spliced mRNA and not with unspliced pre-mRNA. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 96.8% of cancer cell lines).
Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and RNA binding activity. Involved in mRNA export from nucleus. Located in chromosome, telomeric region; cytoplasm; and nuclear speck. Part of THO complex part of transcription export complex. Implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 86.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 15)
- hHpr1/p84/Thoc1 regulates transcriptional elongation and may participate in a protein complex functionally analogous to yeast TREX, physically linking elongating RNA polymerase II with RNA processing factors (PMID:15870275)
- recruitment of the human TREX complex to spliced mRNA is not directly coupled to transcription, but is instead coupled to transcription indirectly through splicing (PMID:15998806)
- Thoc1 may be important for neoplastic transformation (PMID:17638875)
- Cells respond to AAV infection by activating two DNA damage signaling cascades. The first activates the p84N5 protein, which in turn activates caspase-6, leading to cell death. (PMID:17699767)
- elevated expression of hHpr1/p84/Thoc1 is common in NSCLC and may have prognostic significance in subgroups of patients (PMID:18469354)
- A differential connection between tumorogenesis and the expression levels of human THO and ALY. (PMID:21329510)
- We show that human THO depletion impairs transcription elongation and mRNA export and increases instability associated with DNA breaks, leading to hyper-recombination and gammaH2AX and 53BP1 foci accumulation (PMID:22144908)
- overexpression of hTREX84 is associated with cancer cell transformation, proliferation and may be regulated by RelA/p65 (PMID:22952718)
- This suggests NEDD4-1 functions in conjunction with other post-translational mechanisms to regulate Thoc1 protein and THO activity. (PMID:23460917)
- Thoc1 inhibits cell growth via induction of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in lung cancer cells. (PMID:24682263)
- In humans, high THOC1 protein expression associates with prostate cancer aggressiveness and recurrence. Thus, THOC1 protein is a molecular marker that may improve the identification of aggressive prostate cancers, potentially reducing overtreatment. (PMID:25296641)
- Colorectal cancer patients with high levels of Thoc1 expression had poorer overall-survival and disease-free survival, whereas those with lower levels of Thoc1 expression survived longer. (PMID:26545775)
- THO interacts with the Sin3A histone deacetylase complex to suppress co-transcriptional R-loops, DNA damage, and replication impairment. Functional analyses show that histone hypo-acetylation prevents accumulation of harmful R-loops and RNA-mediated genomic instability. (PMID:29074626)
- Knockdown of THOC1 reduces the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma and increases the sensitivity to cisplatin. (PMID:32669125)
- THOC1 deficiency leads to late-onset nonsyndromic hearing loss through p53-mediated hair cell apoptosis. (PMID:32776944)

Function. Component of the THO subcomplex of the TREX complex which is thought to couple mRNA transcription, processing and nuclear export, and which specifically associates with spliced mRNA and not with unspliced pre-mRNA. Required for efficient export of polyadenylated RNA. The THOC1-THOC2-THOC3 core complex alone is sufficient to bind export factor NXF1-NXT1 and promote ATPase activity of DDX39B/UAP56. TREX is recruited to spliced mRNAs by a transcription-independent mechanism, binds to mRNA upstream of the exon-junction complex (EJC) and is recruited in a splicing- and cap-dependent manner to a region near the 5’ end of the mRNA where it functions in mRNA export to the cytoplasm via the TAP/NXF1 pathway. Regulates transcriptional elongation of a subset of genes. Involved in genome stability by preventing co-transcriptional R-loop formation. May play a role in hair cell formation, hence may be involved in hearing. Participates in an apoptotic pathway which is characterized by activation of caspase-6, increases in the expression of BAK1 and BCL2L1 and activation of NF-kappa-B. This pathway does not require p53/TP53, nor does the presence of p53/TP53 affect the efficiency of cell killing. Activates a G2/M cell cycle checkpoint prior to the onset of apoptosis. Apoptosis is inhibited by association with RB1. (Microbial infection) The TREX complex is essential for the export of Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) intronless mRNAs and infectious virus production.
Subunit / interactions. Component of the THO subcomplex, which is composed of THOC1, THOC2, THOC3, THOC5, THOC6 and THOC7. The THO subcomplex interacts with DDX39B to form the THO-DDX39B complex which multimerizes into a 28-subunit tetrameric assembly. Component of the transcription/export (TREX) complex at least composed of ALYREF/THOC4, DDX39B, SARNP/CIP29, CHTOP and the THO subcomplex; in the complex interacts with THOC2, THOC5 and THOC7. TREX seems to have a dynamic structure involving ATP-dependent remodeling. Binds to the hypophosphorylated form of RB1. Interacts with RNA polymerase II. Interacts with LUZP4.
Subcellular location. Nucleus speckle. Nucleus. Nucleoplasm. Nucleus matrix. Cytoplasm Cytoplasm.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitous. Expressed in various cancer cell lines. Expressed at very low levels in normal breast epithelial cells and highly expressed in breast tumors. Expression is strongly associated with an aggressive phenotype of breast tumors and expression correlates with tumor size and the metastatic state of the tumor progression.
Post-translational modifications. Expression is altered specifically during apoptosis and is accompanied by the appearance of novel forms with smaller apparent molecular mass. Polyubiquitinated, leading to proteasomal degradation; probably involves NEDD4.
Disease relevance. Deafness, autosomal dominant, 86 (DFNA86) [MIM:620280] A form of non-syndromic, sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural hearing loss results from damage to the neural receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain, or the area of the brain that receives sound information. DFNA86 is characterized by progressive, bilateral hearing loss that is most predominant in the high frequencies, begins mildly during the fourth decade and gradually progresses to severe-to-profound deafness in the seventh and eighth decades. Affected subjects have tinnitus, while vestibular dysfunction or other clinical abnormalities are not present. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. An intact death domain is needed for apoptosis.
Induction. Up-regulated during cell proliferation.
Miscellaneous. May be due to an intron retention.
Similarity. Belongs to the THOC1 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 136 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.
