Fusion Genomic Features for CERS4-HUWE1


check buttonFusionAI prediction of the potential fusion gene breakpoint based on the pre-mature RNA sequence context (+/- 5kb of individual partner genes, total 20kb length sequence). FusionAI is a fusion gene breakpoint classifier based on convolutional neural network by comparing the fusion positive and negative sequence context of ~ 20K fusion gene data. From here, we can have the relative potentency of the 20K genomic sequence how individual sequnce will be likely used as the gene fusion breakpoints.

FUNCTION: Ceramide synthase that catalyzes formation of ceramide from sphinganine and acyl-CoA substrates, with high selectivity toward long and very-long chains (C18:0-C22:0) as acyl donor. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17977534, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23530041, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26887952, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29632068, ECO:0000269|PubMed:31916624}.FUNCTION: E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which mediates ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins (PubMed:15989957, PubMed:19713937, PubMed:15567145, PubMed:15767685, PubMed:18488021, PubMed:17567951, PubMed:19037095, PubMed:20534529). Regulates apoptosis by catalyzing the polyubiquitination and degradation of MCL1 (PubMed:15989957). Mediates monoubiquitination of DNA polymerase beta (POLB) at 'Lys-41', 'Lys-61' and 'Lys-81', thereby playing a role in base-excision repair (PubMed:19713937). Also ubiquitinates the p53/TP53 tumor suppressor and core histones including H1, H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 (PubMed:15567145, PubMed:15767685, PubMed:15989956). Ubiquitinates MFN2 to negatively regulate mitochondrial fusion in response to decreased stearoylation of TFRC (PubMed:26214738). Binds to an upstream initiator-like sequence in the preprodynorphin gene. Regulates neural differentiation and proliferation by catalyzing the polyubiquitination and degradation of MYCN (PubMed:18488021). May regulate abundance of CDC6 after DNA damage by polyubiquitinating and targeting CDC6 to degradation (PubMed:17567951). Mediates polyubiquitination of isoform 2 of PA2G4 (PubMed:19037095). Acts in concert with MYCBP2 to regulate the circadian clock gene expression by promoting the lithium-induced ubiquination and degradation of NR1D1 (PubMed:20534529). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15567145, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15767685, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15989956, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15989957, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17567951, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18488021, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19037095, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19713937, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20534529, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26214738}.
