Fusion Genomic Features for NEK4-ERCC1


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.

P07992

FUNCTION: Protein kinase that seems to act exclusively upon threonine residues (By similarity). Required for normal entry into proliferative arrest after a limited number of cell divisions, also called replicative senescence. Required for normal cell cycle arrest in response to double-stranded DNA damage. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9Z1J2, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22851694}.FUNCTION: [Isoform 1]: Non-catalytic component of a structure-specific DNA repair endonuclease responsible for the 5'-incision during DNA repair. Responsible, in conjunction with SLX4, for the first step in the repair of interstrand cross-links (ICL). Participates in the processing of anaphase bridge-generating DNA structures, which consist in incompletely processed DNA lesions arising during S or G2 phase, and can result in cytokinesis failure. Also required for homology-directed repair (HDR) of DNA double-strand breaks, in conjunction with SLX4. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17273966, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23623389, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24036546}.; FUNCTION: [Isoform 2]: Not functional in the nucleotide excision repair pathway. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:24036546}.; FUNCTION: [Isoform 3]: Not functional in the nucleotide excision repair pathway. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:24036546}.; FUNCTION: [Isoform 4]: Not functional in the nucleotide excision repair pathway. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:24036546}.
