Description: This entry represents the RNA recognition motif 3 (RRM3) of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein H3 (hnRNP H3). hnRNP H3 (also termed hnRNP 2H9) is a nuclear RNA binding protein that belongs to the hnRNP H protein family that also includes hnRNP H, hnRNP H2, and hnRNP F. This family is involved in mRNA processing and exhibit extensive sequence homology. Little is known about the functions of hnRNP H3 except for its role in the splicing arrest induced by heat shock [, ]. The typical hnRNP H proteins contain contain three RNA recognition motifs (RRMs), except for hnRNP H3, in which the RRM1 is absent. RRM1 and RRM2 are responsible for the binding to the RNA at DGGGD motifs, and they play an important role in efficiently silencing the exon. Members in this family can regulate the alternative splicing of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) transcripts, and function as silencers of FGFR2 exon IIIc through an interaction with the exonic GGG motifs. The lack of RRM1 could account for the reduced silencing activity within hnRNP H3. In addition, like other hnRNP H protein family members, hnRNP H3 has an extensive glycine-rich region near the C terminus, which may allow it to homo- or heterodimerize [].

Type: Family
Description: Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) [, ]are a family of multifunctional proteins, often referred to as 'promiscuous growth factors' due to their diverse actions on multiple cell types [, ]. FGFs are mitogens, which stimulate growth or differentiation of cells of mesodermal or neuroectodermal origin. The function of FGFs in developmental processes include mesoderm induction, anterior-posterior patterning, limb development, and neural induction and development. In mature tissues, they are involved in diverse processes including keratinocyte organisation and wound healing [, , , , , ]. FGF involvement is critical during normal development of both vertebrates and invertebrates, and irregularities in their function leads to a range of developmental defects [, , , ]. Fibroblast growth factors are heparin-binding proteins and interactions with cell-surface-associated heparan sulfate proteoglycans have been shown to be essential for FGF signal transduction. FGFs have internal pseudo-threefold symmetry (β-trefoil topology) []. There are currently over 20 different FGF family members that have been identified in mammals, all of which are structurally related signaling molecules [, ]. They exert their effects through four distinct membrane fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs), FGFR1 to FGFR4 [], which belong to the tyrosine kinase superfamily. Upon binding to FGF, the receptors dimerize and their intracellular tyrosine kinase domains become active [].This entry represents fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF10), also known as keratinocyte growth factor 2. This protein plays an important role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, cell differentiation and cell migration. FGF10 exhibits mitogenic activity for keratinizing epidermal cells, but essentially no activity for fibroblasts, which is similar to the biological activity of FGF7 []. Studies suggest FGF10 is required for embryonic epidermal morphogenesis including brain development, lung morphogenesis, and initiation of limb bud formation [, , ]. FGF10 is also implicated as a primary factor in the process of wound healing [, ]. FGF10 interacts with FGFR1, but has a higher affinity FGFR2 [, ].
