ID:TNR6A_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Trinucleotide repeat-containing gene 6A protein; AltName: Full=CAG repeat protein 26; AltName: Full=EMSY interactor protein; AltName: Full=GW182 autoantigen; Short=Protein GW1; AltName: Full=Glycine-tryptophan protein of 182 kDa; FUNCTION: Plays a role in RNA-mediated gene silencing by both micro-RNAs (miRNAs) and short interfering RNAs (siRNAs). Required for miRNA-dependent repression of translation and for siRNA- dependent endonucleolytic cleavage of complementary mRNAs by argonaute family proteins. SUBUNIT: Interacts with EIF2C1/AGO1, EIF2C2/AGO2, EIF2C3/AGO3 and EIF2C4/AGO4. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm, P-body. Note=Mammalian P-bodies are also known as GW bodies (GWBs). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Ubiquitous. INDUCTION: By exogenous short interfering RNA (siRNA). MISCELLANEOUS: Antibodies against TNRC6A are found in sera from patients with Sjoegren syndrome (SS), ataxia and sensor neuropathy diseases that developed autoantibodies against protein of the GWB structure. Autoantibodies were mapped to the GW-rich mid-part, the non-GW-rich region and the C-terminus of the protein. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the GW182 family. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 RRM (RNA recognition motif) domain. SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=BAA91899.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Translation N-terminally extended; Sequence=CAD28525.2; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Translation N-terminally shortened;
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
