RNA-binding motif protein, Y chromosome, family 1 member C (RBMY1C)

Function: - RNA-binding protein involved in pre-mRNA splicing - required for sperm development - acts additively with TRA2B to promote exon 7 inclusion of the survival motor neuron SMN - binds non-specifically to mRNAs - interacts with splicing factor proteins SFRS3/SRP20, TRA2B/SFRS10, KHDRBS1/SAM68 & KHDRBS3 Structure: contains 1 RRM domain (RNA recognition motif) Compartment: nucleus Expression: - testis-specific - expressed in all of the transcriptionally active stages of germ cell development from spermatogonia through spermatocytes to round spermatids Genetics: - the RBMY1 proteins are encoded by repeated regions of the Y chromosome, mostly within the AZFb region - the exact number of functional copies is unclear & may vary between individuals, & some of them may represent pseudogenes - the proteins are very similar, which makes characterization of each protein difficult - most experiments do not discriminate between the different members - reported interactions with a RBMY1 protein involve all the proteins
