OverviewNCBI Gene

Efficient translation of mitochondrial-derived transcripts requires proper assembly of the large subunit of the mitochondrial ribosome. Central to the biogenesis of this large subunit is the A-loop of mitochondrial 16S rRNA, which is modified by three rRNA methyltransferases located near mtDNA nucleoids. The protein encoded by this gene methylates G(1370) of 16S rRNA, and this modification is necessary for proper ribosomal large subnit assembly. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against MRM3 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads MRM3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against MRM3 could matter depends on whether native MRM3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

MRM3 is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label MRM3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
