Uniprot Id

Q53GS7

Target Species

Human

Target Name

GLE1

Target Full Name

mRNA export factor GLE1

Target Function

Required for the export of mRNAs containing poly(A) tails from the nucleus into the cytoplasm. May be involved in the terminal step of the mRNA transport through the nuclear pore complex (NPC).

Target Involvement

Lethal congenital contracture syndrome 1 (LCCS1); Lethal arthrogryposis with anterior horn cell disease (LAAHD)

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus. Cytoplasm.; [Isoform 1]: Cytoplasm. Nucleus, nuclear pore complex.

Target Protein Families

GLE1 family

Target Synonyms

GLE 1; GLE1; GLE1 like protein; GLE1 like RNA export mediator; GLE1 RNA export mediator homolog; GLE1 RNA export mediator like (yeast); GLE1-like protein; GLE1_HUMAN; GLE1L; hGLE1; LCCS 1; LCCS; LCCS1; Nucleoporin GLE1

Target Background

This gene encodes a predicted 75-kDa polypeptide with high sequence and structure homology to yeast Gle1p, which is nuclear protein with a leucine-rich nuclear export sequence essential for poly(A)+RNA export. Inhibition of human GLE1L by microinjection of antibodies against GLE1L in HeLa cells resulted in inhibition of poly(A)+RNA export. Immunoflourescence studies show that GLE1L is localized at the nuclear pore complexes. This localization suggests that GLE1L may act at a terminal step in the export of mature RNA messages to the cytoplasm. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
