    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in diverse aspects of RNA metabolism, including binding and protecting 3-prime UUU(OH) elements of newly RNA polymerase III
  • can bind to nascent RNA transcripts and has also been postulated to act as an RNA polymerase III (pol III) transcription initiation and termination factor
  • playing an important role in the modulation of PAM expression, possibly by mechanisms that involve a nuclear retention and perhaps a processing of pre-PAM mRNA molecules
  • essential RNA-binding protein implicated in different aspects of RNA metabolism

    small molecule
    protein
  • cleaved by granzyme B and N-terminal La fragment (27 kD) translocated to the cytoplasm, thus leading to a novel autoantibody production during granzyme B-mediated cytotoxicity
  • CSNK2A1 is responsible for phosphorylation of SSB protein serine-366 and can modulate RPL37 5prime-terminal oligopyrimidine mRNA metabolism
  • interaction with nucleolin (at least in part responsible for nucleolar accumulation of SSB and nonphosphorylated SSB may be involved in ribosome biogenesis)
  • interacting with CCND1 (role of SSB in cell proliferation and CCND1 expression demonstrating for the first time an overexpression of the RNA-binding protein SSB in solid tumors.)
