Gene Description

ANG encodes angiogenin/RNase 5, a secreted RNase A-family endoribonuclease. Its core activity is regulated RNA cleavage, especially ribosome-activated cleavage of mature cytoplasmic tRNAs under stress to generate tiRNA/tsRNA halves, together with nucleolar stimulation of rRNA transcription and established proangiogenic functions.

Core Functions

ANG is a regulated RNase A-family endoribonuclease whose core function is compartment-dependent RNA metabolism: ribosome-activated cytosolic tRNA cleavage during stress and nucleolar promotion of rRNA transcription under growth conditions, with secreted proangiogenic activity as a major physiological output.

Supporting Evidence:
  • file:human/ANG/ANG-deep-research-falcon.md
    ANG is a secreted RNase A-family endoribonuclease originally characterized as an angiogenic factor, but now understood as a **stress-responsive ribonuclease** with dual roles depending on subcellular localization: (i) **nucleolar/nuclear** functions in rRNA transcription and (ii) **cytosolic** functions in stress-induced tRNA cleavage and translational repression.
  • file:human/ANG/ANG-deep-research-falcon.md
    A central, repeatedly supported substrate in stress biology is **mature cytoplasmic tRNA**, cleaved **within the anticodon loop** to yield **5β€² and 3β€² tRNA halves** (often called **tiRNAs/tsRNAs**), typically ~**30–40 nt**.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Which ANG functions require ribosome-activated tRNA cleavage versus nucleolar rRNA transcription in specific human cell types?

Q: Which receptor-mediated uptake routes determine ANG partitioning between extracellular signaling, cytosolic stress responses, and nucleolar growth programs?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Use ANG variants defective in ribosome association or catalytic residues, then compare tRNA-half production, translation rates, and stress granule assembly after oxidative stress.

Hypothesis: Ribosome binding is required for stress-induced ANG tRNA cleavage and translation repression in cells.

Experiment: Rescue ANG-depleted endothelial cells with localization-biased ANG variants and measure rRNA transcription, endothelial proliferation/migration, and stress-induced tiRNA production.

Hypothesis: ANG angiogenic outputs are separable from cytosolic stress-response outputs by altering nuclear localization or receptor-mediated uptake.
