XAB1, also known as G-patch domain-containing protein 1 (GPATCH1), is a human protein implicated in the intricate process of mRNA splicing. This protein is part of the spliceosome, a complex and dynamic assembly of snRNPs (small nuclear ribonucleoproteins) and a multitude of associated proteins, which orchestrates the removal of non-coding sequences (introns) from pre-mRNA transcripts. The accurate and efficient splicing of pre-mRNA is essential for the generation of functional messenger RNAs that direct the synthesis of proteins.The G-patch domain is a characteristic feature of XAB1, which suggests a role in RNA processing. This domain is known for its involvement in RNA binding, indicating that XAB1 may directly interact with RNA or other components of the spliceosome during the splicing process. The precise molecular functions of XAB1, however, are not fully understood and are the subject of ongoing research.
Alterations in the splicing machinery, including dysfunctions associated with proteins like XAB1, can lead to aberrant splicing events. Such splicing errors are linked to a variety of diseases, including cancer and genetic disorders, highlighting the importance of proteins involved in this fundamental cellular process.As a spliceosomal protein, XAB1 is likely to be involved in the regulation of splicing under various physiological conditions, and its activity may be modulated in response to cellular signals and stressors, reflecting the dynamic nature of gene regulation at the level of RNA processing.
