Function

Component of the SKI complex, a multiprotein complex that assists the RNA-degrading exosome during the mRNA decay and quality-control pathways (PubMed:16024656, PubMed:32006463, PubMed:35120588). The SKI complex catalyzes mRNA extraction from 80S ribosomal complexes in the 3'-5' direction and channels mRNA to the cytosolic exosome for degradation (PubMed:32006463, PubMed:35120588). SKI-mediated extraction of mRNA from stalled ribosomes allow binding of the Pelota-HBS1L complex and subsequent ribosome disassembly by ABCE1 for ribosome recycling (PubMed:32006463). In the nucleus, the SKI complex associates with transcriptionally active genes in a manner dependent on PAF1 complex (PAF1C) (PubMed:16024656).

Involvement in disease

Trichohepatoenteric syndrome 1

THES1

A syndrome characterized by intrauterine growth retardation, severe diarrhea in infancy requiring total parenteral nutrition, facial dysmorphism, immunodeficiency, and hair abnormalities, mostly trichorrhexis nodosa. Hepatic involvement contributes to the poor prognosis of affected patients.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the SKI3 family.

Tissue specificity

Widely expressed with the highest levels observed in vascular tissues, lymph node, pituitary, lung and intestine. Not expressed in the liver.
