### RBM14 Gene Summary

**Gene Symbol:** RBM14  
**Location:** Chromosome 13 (13q12.3)  
**Function:** The RBM14 gene encodes a ribonucleoprotein that has dual roles as a nuclear coactivator and an RNA splicing modulator. It contains two RNA recognition motifs (RRM) that are crucial for its interaction with RNA, along with a C-terminal domain featuring hexapeptide repeats which facilitate its association with various proteins.

### 1. Associated Genes
RBM14 is known to interact with several other genes and proteins, including but not limited to:
- **NCOA6:** A nuclear receptor coactivator that enhances transcription along with RBM14 isoform 1.
- **CITED1:** A coactivator involved in various transcriptional regulation processes.
- **STIL:** A protein involved in centriole biogenesis that is modulated by RBM14 activity.
- **CENPJ:** A protein associated with the formation of centriolar protein complexes which RBM14 prevents when overexpressed.

Additionally, evidence suggests that RBM14 interacts with components involved in the cGAS-STING signaling pathway, which plays a significant role in innate immunity.

### 2. Aging and Age-Related Diseases
RBM14 has been implicated in several biological processes related to aging and age-related diseases:
- **Centriolar Regulation:** Dysregulation of centriole formation due to RBM14's role in preventing aberrant protein complex formation could impact cellular division and contribute to age-related decline in tissue homeostasis.
- **Immune Response:** Age-related decline in immune function is associated with changes in the innate immune response. RBM14's involvement in the HDP-RNP complex suggests a potential link to how aging may alter immune responses to DNA viruses.

Although specific studies directly linking RBM14 to age-related diseases are limited, its functions in gene regulation and cellular integrity support the hypothesis that deviations in its activity could be associated with age-associated pathologies.

### 3. Drug Interactions
Currently, there are no specific drugs known to target RBM14 directly. However, given its role in transcriptional modulation and immune response, drugs or drug classes that influence nuclear receptor pathways (such as steroids or thyroid hormone modulators) may indirectly affect RBM14 activity. Further investigations may elucidate specific therapeutic agents that can modulate RBM14's function or expression.

### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes
RBM14 is involved in several key biological processes and pathways, including:
- **Transcription Regulation:** Functions as a general coactivator, enhancing transcription through interaction with nuclear receptors.
- **RNA Splicing:** Modulates splicing events due to its RNA-binding capabilities.
- **Centriole Biogenesis:** Regulates the formation of centriolar complexes, maintaining mitotic spindle integrity.
- **Innate Immune Response:** Participates in assembling HDP-RNP complexes essential for the phosphorylation of IRF3, thus activating innate immune responses through cGAS-STING signaling.
- **Cell Cycle Regulation:** By preserving centriole function, RBM14 plays a role in proper cell cycle progression, which has implications for tumorigenesis and cellular aging.

Overall, RBM14 serves as a critical mediator in various cellular processes and its regulation could have broad implications on health, particularly in relation to transcriptional control and immune responses. Further studies may provide deeper insights into its role in specific diseases and therapeutic avenues.
