Summary: This region is known to undergo mitotic DNA recombination with another region, the transmembrane protease serine 2 breakpoint cluster recombination region, located on the q arm of chromosome 21, about 3 Mb centromere-distal to this region. Recombination between these two regions can produce gene fusions involving the transmembrane protease, serine 2 (TMPRSS2) gene and the ERG, ETS transcription factor (ERG) gene, and deletions of the intervening sequence. Complex rearrangements have also been observed. This gene fusion is commonly found in prostate cancer cells. The double-strand breaks that lead to this rearrangement are mediated by the DNA topoisomerase II beta (TOP2B) protein, and TOP2B cleavage sites have been found adjacent to individual fusion breakpoints. Studies indicate that androgen signaling can induce proximity of the TMPRSS2 and ERG genomic loci, possibly influencing break location. Chromosomal architecture, specifically chromosome loop anchors, also plays a role in determining break location, as these regions have been shown to be more susceptible to cleavage by TOP2B. Molecular analysis shows that many breakpoint junctions share microhomology, or, contain small insertions at the junctions, while others are the result of blunt-end fusions. This record shows the range over which different rearrangements have been found, as well as the location of some specific breakpoints and regions enriched for dihydrotestosterone-dependent DNA topoisomerase II beta binding.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
