HLA-B Associated Transcript 1 (BAT1), also known as UAP56, D6S81E, DDX39B, ATP-dependent RNA helicase p47, and DEAD-box protein UAP56, is a protein encoded by the BAT1 gene in humans . This protein is part of the DEAD-box protein family, which is characterized by the conserved motif Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD). These proteins are implicated in various cellular processes involving alteration of RNA secondary structure, such as translation initiation, nuclear and mitochondrial splicing, and ribosome and spliceosome assembly .
BAT1 plays a crucial role in the regulation of mRNA splicing and export from the nucleus. It is involved in the assembly of the spliceosome, a complex responsible for removing introns from pre-mRNA. Additionally, BAT1 is essential for the nuclear export of mRNA, ensuring that processed mRNA is transported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm for translation .
BAT1 is associated with various diseases and conditions due to its role in RNA processing and immune response. It is located within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region on chromosome 6, which is known for its high polymorphism and association with immune-related diseases . The MHC region, also known as the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region, is critical for antigen presentation and immune response .
Recombinant BAT1 is used in research to study its function in RNA processing and its role in diseases. It is also utilized in the development of therapeutic strategies targeting RNA splicing and export mechanisms.
