Description

ADPRM encodes a ribonuclease that specifically cleaves poly(A) tails of RNA in an ADP-ribose and magnesium-dependent manner. The enzyme is involved in RNA metabolism, particularly in the regulation of mRNA stability and turnover. Mutations in ADPRM have been associated with neurological phenotypes, including developmental delay and seizures.

Disease Associations

Disease category Pathophysiological mechanism Genomic evidence
Neurodevelopmental disorder with seizures and developmental delay Loss-of-function mutations impair RNA poly(A) tail degradation, leading to dysregulated RNA metabolism ClinVar, OMIM #617084

Protein Summary

ADPRM is a 369-amino acid protein that functions as a magnesium-dependent endoribonuclease specific for poly(A) sequences. It localizes to the cytoplasm and is involved in the regulation of mRNA stability. The protein contains a conserved nuclease domain and requires ADP-ribose as a cofactor for optimal activity.
