The DIS3 homolog, exosome endoribonuclease and 3'-5' exoribonuclease (DIS3) gene, with 21 exons spanning 26.5kb of genomic DNA, is mapped to human chromosome 13q21-q22. The encoded protein is a human ortholog of yeast Dis3p. DIS3 belongs to the RNase II family and is composed of 958 amino acids. DIS3 is a catalytic subunit and is localized in the nucleus and cytoplasm. DIS3 contains a RNB domain involved in the exonucleolytic activity and an N-terminal PilT N-terminal (PIN) domain involved in the endonucleolytic activity.

Biochem Physiol Actions: DIS3 homolog, exosome endoribonuclease and 3'-5' exoribonuclease (DIS3) has both active exonuclease and endonucleolytic activity. The encoded protein is involved in the direct processing, turnover and surveillance of a large number of distinct RNA species.Inactivation mutations of DIS3 is associated with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In addition, mutation of hDIS3 PilT N terminus (PIN) domain is also associated with the development of multiple myeloma (MM). Therefore, hDIS3 PIN domain can be considered as a potential target for the treatment of MM.
