General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction in mice, a Nsun2 knockout, ablation of Nsun2 through the deletion of exon 8, leads to the gross small-size phenotype indicating weight loss with 30% reduction at 3 months old, and partial alopecia at about 10 months old, suggesting a role for NSUN2 in skin homeostasis. Nsun2-/- males are sterile. Heterozygous mice appear normal and have no visible phenotype Mus musculus
malfunction mutation G679R causes NSUN2 to fail to localize within the nucleolus. NSUN2, besides other RNA-methyltransferase-encoding genes, is involved in neurological disorders like intellectual disability, also called mental retardation, phenotypes, overview Homo sapiens
physiological function NSUN2 encodes a methyltransferase that catalyzes the intron-dependent formation of 5-methylcytosine at C34 of tRNA-leu(CAA). It also functions in spindle assembly during mitosis as well as chromosome segregation Mus musculus
