RGS7
RGS7 (Regulator of G protein signalling 7) is a gene that drives cell growth when it is altered. The public catalogues list it as an oncogene driver and a tumour suppressor, and it is called a cancer driver by mutation analysis of patient cohorts. Tied to Breast cancer, Non-small-cell lung cancer and Melanoma.
Overview
GTPase activator component of the RGS7-GNB5 complex that regulates G protein-coupled receptor signalling cascades. The RGS7-GNB5 complex acts as an inhibitor signal transduction by promoting the GTPase activity of G protein alpha subunits, such as GNAO1, thereby driving them into their inactive GDP-bound form. May play a role in synaptic vesicle exocytosis.
IntOGen calls it a driver in 6 cohorts (4 activating, 2 loss-of-function), covering Invasive Breast Carcinoma, Lung Adenocarcinoma, Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Melanoma.

Biology
GTPase activator component of the RGS7-GNB5 complex that regulates G protein-coupled receptor signalling cascades. The RGS7-GNB5 complex acts as an inhibitor signal transduction by promoting the GTPase activity of G protein alpha subunits, such as GNAO1, thereby driving them into their inactive GDP-bound form. May play a role in synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Glycine-dependent regulation of the RGS7-GNB5 complex by GPR158 affects mood and cognition via its ability to regulate neuronal excitability in L2/L3 pyramidal neurons of the prefrontal cortex. Modulates the activity of potassium channels that are activated by GNAO1 in response to muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M2/CHRM2 signalling. Location: Cytoplasm, cytosol; Cytoplasm; Cell membrane; Membrane (UniProt). Locus 1q43 (HGNC).

- Non-small-cell lung cancer: IntOGen driver in 3 cohorts (LUAD, LUSC)
- Melanoma: IntOGen driver in 2 cohorts (MEL)
Notes
top- Written by scripts/fetch-cancer-genes.ts from CIViC, Open Targets, IntOGen, HGNC and UniProt; the function text is UniProt's, condensed and in UK spelling. Roles: IntOGen calls it an activating (Act) driver in 4 cohorts; IntOGen calls it a loss-of-function (LoF) driver in 2 cohorts. Evidence tier "cohort-driver" is the strongest of those signals.
- Prevalence not recorded: none of the sources gives a positivity rate.
