Spliceosomal GTPase Eftud2 regulates microglial activation and polarization. [PDF]
Elongation factor Tu GTP binding domain protein 2 (Eftud2) is a spliceosomal GTPase that serves as an innate immune modulator restricting virus infection. Microglia are the resident innate immune cells and the key players of immune response in the central nervous system. However, the role of Eftud2 in microglia has not been reported.

A novel <i>EFTUD2</i> splicing variant causing mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly: a case report. [PDF]
Mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly (MFDM) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the EFTUD2 gene, presenting with craniofacial anomalies, microcephaly, and systemic abnormalities. Despite several reported cases, the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying MFDM remain inadequately understood. This case study

The Spliceosome Factor EFTUD2 Promotes IFN Anti-HBV Effect through mRNA Splicing. [PDF]
Background/Aims. The underlying mechanisms of differential responsiveness to IFN remain poorly understood. The elongation factor Tu GTP binding domain-containing protein 2 (EFTUD2), involved in RNA splicing and pre-mRNA processing, was recognized as a novel innate immune regulator of the IFN antihepatitis C virus (HCV) effect.

Interaction of Newcastle disease virus V protein with EFTUD2 modulates MDA5 pathway to suppress viral replication. [PDF]
Elongation factor Tu GTP-binding domain-containing protein 2 (EFTUD2), a core component of U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (snRNPs), recently emerged as a novel innate immune regulator. Although the Newcastle disease virus (NDV) V protein facilitates immune evasion, interactions between NDV and spliceosome components remain poorly ...

LncRNA CA13/EFTUD2/CA13 caused crossed beak by regulating the mandibular calcification in chicken. [PDF]
Crossed beak is a beak deformity that reduces feeding and drinking in affected chickens, thereby diminishing chicken production performance. Previous studies have shown that long non-coding RNA CA13 (lncRNA CA13), as an upstream regulator of carbonic anhydrase 13 (CA13), exhibited down-regulated expression in the lateral mandibular condyles of the ...

The feedback loop of EFTUD2/c-MYC impedes chemotherapeutic efficacy by enhancing EFTUD2 transcription and stabilizing c-MYC protein in colorectal cancer. [PDF]
Abstract Background Chemoresistance presents a significant obstacle in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC), yet the molecular basis underlying CRC chemoresistance remains poorly understood, impeding the development of new therapeutic interventions.

Haploinsufficiency of a Spliceosomal GTPase Encoded by EFTUD2 Causes Mandibulofacial Dysostosis with Microcephaly [PDF]
Mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly (MFDM) is a rare sporadic syndrome comprising craniofacial malformations, microcephaly, developmental delay, and a recognizable dysmorphic appearance. Major sequelae, including choanal atresia, sensorineural hearing loss, and cleft palate, each occur in a significant proportion of affected individuals.

Spliceosome protein EFTUD2: A potential pathogenetic factor in tumorigenesis and some developmental defects (Review). [PDF]
The formation of mature mRNA is inseparable from the processing of RNA precursors and splicing by the spliceosome. The spliceosome is a multi‑protein complex composed of five small nuclear ribonucleoproteins. Elongation factor Tu GTP binding domain containing 2 (EFTUD2) is a component of spliceosome complex that is involved in the reorganization of the

High RIG-I and EFTUD2 expression predicts poor survival in endometrial cancer
Abstract Purpose Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological malignancy. The helicase RIG-I, a part of the innate immune system, and EFTUD2, a splicing factor which can upregulate RIG-I expression, are shown to influence tumor growth and disease progression in several malignancies.
