Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNP K) is a multifunctional protein that plays a critical role in RNA metabolism including RNA splicing translation and transcription. Alternate names for hnRNP K include synkaryon-associated protein and hnRNP KurB. It has a molecular mass of approximately 51 kDa and is ubiquitously expressed in the nucleus and cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. This protein features three KH (K homology) domains that enable it to interact with nucleic acids and other proteins.
Biological function summary
HnRNP K serves as a transcriptional regulator and participates in the assembly of ribonucleoprotein complexes. As part of the ribonucleoprotein complex it interacts with both RNA and DNA influencing various gene expression pathways. It also modulates the activity of several transcription factors including c-Myc and has been implicated in cell proliferation and differentiation. This protein's versatile functions make it an important component in various cellular processes.
Pathways
HnRNP K plays an important role in signal transduction and the p53 pathway. In the p53 pathway hnRNP K acts as a coactivator enhancing the transcriptional activity of the tumor suppressor p53 and influencing cell cycle regulation and apoptosis. Additionally hnRNP K interacts with several proteins including the c-Myc oncogene to regulate gene expression associated with growth and cell cycle progression.
HnRNP K has been linked to cancer and neurological disorders. Its interaction with c-Myc makes it relevant in various cancers where c-Myc is dysregulated contributing to unchecked cell proliferation. Furthermore alterations in hnRNP K expression or function have been associated with neurodegenerative disorders where it might interact with proteins like TDP-43 or FUS affecting neuronal function and survival.
