Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionrtcb-1 encodes the C. elegans ortholog of the mammalian tRNA splicing ligase RTCB; in C. elegans RTCB-1 is required for the ligation of tRNA halves during pre-tRNA processing, and for ligation of mRNAs, including the xbp-1 mRNA that is critical for proper execution of the endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response; when expressed in intestinal cells, an RTCB-1 reporter localizes to both the nucleus and the cytoplasm.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00045971

Automated_descriptionEnables RNA ligase (ATP) activity. Involved in IRE1-mediated unfolded protein response and tRNA exon ligation utilizing 2',3' cyclic phosphate of 5'-exon as source of linkage phosphate. Acts upstream of or within with a positive effect on germ cell development and vulval development. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Used to study Parkinson's disease. Is an ortholog of human RTCB (RNA 2',3'-cyclic phosphate and 5'-OH ligase).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Disease_relevanceIn an elegans model of Parkinson''s disease, where human alpha-synuclein was overexpressed, RNA interference studies showed that the elegans rtcb-1 (contains an RNA-binding motif, ortholog to human HSPC117 protein, a component of RNA trafficking granules in neurons), significantly protected against age- and dose-dependent degeneration in the dopamine neurons of transgenic worms; further the RNA ligase activity of rtcb-1 is required for neuroprotection, which is mediated via the splicing of the xbp-1/HAC1 mRNA in the unfolded protein response pathway; this model highlights the intersection of RNA processing and proteostasis in mediating neuroprotection; it also allows the identification of human modifier proteins of alpha-synuclein dependent misfolding and neurodegeneration, these proteins may also be new potential targets for therapeutic intervention.Homo sapiensPaper_evidenceWBPaper00031384

Reference (13)
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
