Protein SLFN14 (SLFN14)

The protein contains 912 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 103907 Da.

 

Shows no ribosome-associated and endoribonuclease activities.', 'Displays polysome-associated endoribonuclease activity towards mRNAs and rRNAs (PubMed:25996083). May play a role in RNA surveillance pathways by recognizing stalled ribosomes and triggering endonucleolytic cleavage of aberrant mRNAs (Probable). Cleaves different types of rRNAs and mRNAs in a magnesium- and manganese-dependent and ATP-independent manner (By similarity). Involved in correct maturation of megakaryocytes and especially important for proplatelet extension. (updated: Dec. 11, 2019)

Schlafen family, member 14; slfn14

DESCRIPTION

The Schlafen (SFLN) family contains 9 mouse and 6 human genes, including SLFN14, that encode proteins with a conserved N terminus containing a putative AAA ATPase domain. Longer SLFN proteins have C-terminal motifs resembling DNA/RNA helicase domains. Studies in mouse have implicated SLFN proteins in regulation of cell growth and T-cell development (summary by Geserick et al. (2004) and Li et al. (2012)).

MAPPING

Gross (2012) mapped the SLFN14 gene to chromosome 17q12 based on an alignment of the SLFN14 sequence (GenBank GENBANK BC140847) with the genomic sequence (GRCh37). Bustos et al. (2009) found that the SLFN genes are clustered within the same orthologous region flanked by the UNC45 (UNC45B; 611220) and PEX12 (601758) genes in all mammalian genomes examined. The human and mouse SLFN clusters are located on chromosomes 17 and 11, respectively.

EVOLUTION

Bustos et al. (2009) used genomic and phylogenetic studies to investigate the evolution and role of the SLFN gene family. They found that the SLFN family is widely distributed in mammals, with 4 major clades that underwent lineage-specific expansions or contractions in various orders, including primates and rodents. Bustos et al. (2009) also identified SLFN family members in Chondrichthyes and Amphibia. They found evidence that positive selection has acted on many SLFN genes. A member of the SLFN family was horizontally transferred from mouse to orthopoxviruses, where the authors hypothesized it plays a role in allowing the virus to survive host defense mechanisms. The viral SLFN sequences are evolving under purifying selection, indicating their functional relevance. Van Zuylen et al. (2011) noted that only 2 SLFN family members, SLFN5 (614952) and SLFN14, have direct orthologs in mouse and human, consistent with rapid evolution of the SLFN family across mammalian species. Human SLFN12 (614956) and SLFN12L (614957) have 4 orthologs in mice (Slfn1, Slfn2, Slfn3, and Slfn4), and human SLFN11 (614953) and SLFN13 (614957) have 3 orthologs in mice (Slfn8, Slfn9, and Slfn10). ...
