CGG triplet repeat binding protein 1

This gene encodes a CGG repeat-binding protein that primarily localizes to the nucleus. CGG trinucleotide repeats are implicated in many disorders as they often act as transcription- and translation-regulatory elements, can produce hairpin structures which cause DNA replication errors, and form regions prone to chromosomal breakage. CGG repeats are also targets for CpG methylation. In addition to its ability to bind CGG repeats and regulate transcription, this gene is believed to play a role in DNA damage repair and telomere protection. In vitro studies indicate this protein does not bind to methylated CpG sequences. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]

cytidine monophospho-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase, pseudogene

Sialic acids are terminal components of the carbohydrate chains of glycoconjugates involved in ligand-receptor, cell-cell, and cell-pathogen interactions. The two most common forms of sialic acid found in mammalian cells are N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and its hydroxylated derivative, N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc). Studies of sialic acid distribution show that Neu5Gc is not detectable in normal human tissues although it was an abundant sialic acid in other mammals. Neu5Gc is, in actuality, immunogenic in humans. The absense of Neu5Gc in humans is due to a deletion within the human gene CMAH encoding cytidine monophosphate-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase, an enzyme responsible for Neu5Gc biosynthesis. Sequences encoding the mouse, pig, and chimpanzee hydroxylase enzymes were obtained by cDNA cloning and found to be highly homologous. However, the homologous human cDNA differs from these cDNAs by a 92-bp deletion in the 5' region. This deletion, corresponding to exon 6 of the mouse hydroxylase gene, causes a frameshift mutation and premature termination of the polypeptide chain in human. It seems unlikely that the truncated human hydroxylase mRNA encodes for an active enzyme explaining why Neu5Gc is undetectable in normal human tissues. Human genomic DNA also shows evidence of this deletion which does not occur in the genomes of African great apes. Nonetheless, the CMAH gene maps to 6p21.32 in humans and great apes indicating that mutation of the CMAH gene occurred following human divergence from chimpanzees and bonobos.
