RNASEH2B
Ribonuclease H2, subunit B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''RNASEH2B'' gene.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/79621 )〕 RNase H2 is composed of a single catalytic subunit (A) and two non-catalytic subunits (B and C), and degrades the RNA of RNA:DNA hybrids. The non-catalytic B subunit of RNase H2 is thought to play a role in DNA replication.〔 Mutations in this gene are a cause of Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome type 2 (AGS2).〔 ==Model organisms==
Model organisms have been used in the study of RNASEH2B function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called ''Rnaseh2btm1a(EUCOMM)Wtsi'' was generated as part of the International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists. Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.〔 Twenty four tests were carried out on mutant mice and three significant abnormalities were observed.〔 No homozygous mutant embryos were identified during gestation, and therefore none survived until weaning. The remaining tests were carried out on heterozygous mutant adult mice and an increased susceptibility to bacterial infection was observed in female animals.〔
