CENATAC Gene

Name centrosomal AT-AC splicing factor
Description This gene encodes a protein thought to contain a coiled coil motif. No function has been determined for the encoded protein. A pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 20. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]

In this capacity, CENATAC promotes the splicing of a specific, rare subtype of minor introns characterized by AT‐AN splice sites. Disruption of CENATAC—either through depletion or disease-associated truncating mutations—leads to excessive retention of these minor introns in around 100 genes, many of which are involved in nucleocytoplasmic transport and cell cycle regulation. This aberrant splicing culminates in chromosome segregation errors, providing a molecular link between minor spliceosome dysfunction and constitutional aneuploidy."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n In addition to its role in RNA processing, CENATAC also contributes to the control of centriole number during cell division.
