ID:RPA34_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=DNA-directed RNA polymerase I subunit RPA34; AltName: Full=A34.5; AltName: Full=Antisense to ERCC-1 protein; Short=ASE-1; AltName: Full=CD3-epsilon-associated protein; Short=CAST; Short=CD3E-associated protein; AltName: Full=RNA polymerase I-associated factor PAF49; FUNCTION: DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates. Component of RNA polymerase I which synthesizes ribosomal RNA precursors. Isoform 1 is involved in UBTF-activated transcription, presumably at a step following PIC formation. FUNCTION: Isoform 2 has been described as a component of preformed T-cell receptor (TCR) complex. SUBUNIT: Component of the RNA polymerase I (Pol I) complex consisting of at least 13 subunits. Interacts with TAF1A thereby associates with the SL1 complex. Interacts with UBTF. Interacts with POLR1E/PRAF1 through its N-terminal region (By similarity). Isoform 2 interacts with CD3E. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus, nucleolus. Chromosome. Note=Found at the fibrillar centers of the nucleolus in interphase and during cell division it is localized to the nucleolus organizer regions of the chromosomes. PTM: Isoform 2 undergoes tyrosine phosphorylation upon T-cell receptor (TCR) stimulation. This phosphorylation has not been confirmed by other group. PTM: Isoform 1 is phosphorylated on tyrosine residues in initiation-competent Pol I-beta complexes but not in Pol I-alpha complexes. PTM: Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR. MISCELLANEOUS: It is in an antisense orientation to and overlaps the gene of the DNA repair enzyme ERCC1. This gene overlap is conserved in mouse suggesting an important biologic function. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the eukaryotic RPA34 RNA polymerase subunit family. CAUTION: It is not known whether the so-called human ASE1 and human CAST proteins represent two sides of a single gene product with sharply different functional characteristics. Experiments done with the mouse homolog protein are in favor of an implication of this gene in rRNA transcription instead of T-cell receptor signaling.
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.
