MAGOH Protein, Human (His)

MAGOH is an important spliceosome component that cooperates with MAGOHB to form the exon junction complex (EJC), which is central to pre-mRNA splicing and nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). EJC affects mRNA metabolism, marks exon-exon junctions, and affects processes such as mRNA export, localization, translation, and NMD. MAGOH Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived MAGOH protein, expressed by E. coli , with C-His labeled tag.

MAGOH is an essential component of the spliceosome, contributing to pre-mRNA splicing processes. Acting redundantly with MAGOHB, it forms the core of the exon junction complex (EJC) and participates in the nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) pathway. The EJC is a dynamic structure involved in various aspects of mRNA metabolism, such as marking the exon-exon junction in mature mRNA and influencing downstream processes like nuclear mRNA export, subcellular mRNA localization, translation efficiency, and NMD. The MAGOH-RBM8A heterodimer, a key element of the EJC, inhibits the ATPase activity of EIF4A3, stabilizing the ATP-bound EJC core on spliced mRNA. This stable conformation interacts with the EJC regulator PYM1 in the cytoplasm, leading to EJC disassembly and enhancing translation of EJC-bearing spliced mRNAs by recruiting them to the ribosomal 48S preinitiation complex. MAGOH is also implicated in the splicing modulation of apoptotic genes, inhibiting the formation of proapoptotic isoforms like Bcl-X(S). In association with RBM8A, MAGOH is a core component of the mRNA splicing-dependent EJC and is identified in the spliceosome C complex.
