Description: Homo sapiens musashi RNA-binding protein 1 (MSI1), mRNA. RefSeq Summary (NM_002442): This gene encodes a protein containing two conserved tandem RNA recognition motifs. Similar proteins in other species function as RNA-binding proteins and play central roles in posttranscriptional gene regulation. Expression of this gene has been correlated with the grade of the malignancy and proliferative activity in gliomas and melanomas. A pseudogene for this gene is located on chromosome 11q13. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. Sequence Note: This RefSeq record was created from transcript and genomic sequence data to make the sequence consistent with the reference genome assembly. The genomic coordinates used for the transcript record were based on transcript alignments. Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg19 chr12:120,779,133-120,806,983 Size: 27,851 Total Exon Count: 15 Strand: - Coding Region Position: hg19 chr12:120,783,394-120,806,894 Size: 23,501 Coding Exon Count: 14
ID:MSI1H_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=RNA-binding protein Musashi homolog 1; Short=Musashi-1; FUNCTION: RNA binding protein that regulates the expression of target mRNAs at the translation level. Regulates expression of the NOTCH1 antagonist NUMB. Binds RNA containing the sequence 5'- GUUAGUUAGUUAGUU-3' and other sequences containing the pattern 5'- [GA]U(1-3)AGU-3'. May play a role in the proliferation and maintenance of stem cells in the central nervous system (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm (By similarity). Nucleus (By similarity). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Detected in fetal kidney, brain, liver and lung, and in adult brain and pancreas. Detected in hepatoma cell lines. DOMAIN: The first RNA recognition motif binds more strongly to RNA compared to the second one (By similarity). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the Musashi family. SIMILARITY: Contains 2 RRM (RNA recognition motif) domains.
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.
