Glycine data from LIS
Description | This entry carries part of the crucial 144 N-terminal residues of the FmiP (Fms interacting protein). A member of the THO (suppressors of the transcriptional defects of hpr1delta by overexpression) complex which is a subcomplex of the transcription/export (TREX) complex [1]. It is essential for the binding of the protein to the cytoplasmic domain of activated Fms-molecules in M-CSF induced haematopoietic differentiation of macrophages. Fmip is also known as THOC5 (THO complex subunit 5) a 683 amino acids long protein which contains a nuclear localisation sequence (NLS), a leucine zipper and a PEST like sequence (aa. 303-319) that carries three ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase specific phosphorylation sites. The C-terminus contains a THOC1 binding site [2]. The level of FMIP/Thoc5 expression might form a threshold that determines whether cells differentiate into macrophages or into granulocytes [3]. |
