Facts about THO complex subunit 2.
TREX is recruited to spliced mRNAs by a transcription-independent mechanism, binds to mRNA upstream of the exon-junction complex (EJC) and can be recruited in a splicing- and cap-dependent way to a region near the 5' end of the mRNA where it functions in mRNA export into the cytoplasm through the TAP/NFX1 pathway. The TREX complex is vital for the export of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) intronless mRNAs and infectious virus production.
