    basic FUNCTION
  • regulating IGF2 translation
  • implicated in subcytoplasmic localization of mRNAs during embryogenesis
  • functions by binding to the mRNA of certain genes, including insulin-like growth factor 2, beta actin, and beta-transducin repeat-containing protein and regulating their translation
  • is essential for the induction of both BTRCP1 and c-Myc by beta-catenin signaling in colorectal cancer cells
  • involved in the upregulation of BTRCP1, in the activation of dimeric transcription factor by NF-kappa B and in the suppression of apoptosis in these cancers
  • may act as a regulator of mRNA transport to activated synpases in response to synaptic activity
  • acting as a HIV-1 retrovirus resctriction factor that reduces HIV-1 assembly by inhibiting viral RNA packaging, assembly and processing of HIV-1 GAG protein on cellular membranes
  • oncogenic factor involved in promoting elevated proliferation by stabilizing the c-myc mRNA in ovarian carcinoma cells
  • is likely to play important roles in lung cancer development and progression
  • implicated in RNA regulatory processes such as intracellular RNA localization, RNA stability, and translational control
  • may play a role in cancer cell migration
  • play an important role in colorectal catrcinoma metastasis by shuttling requisite RNAs to the lamellipodia of migrating cells
  • controls spatially restricted BETA-actin (ACTB) mRNA translation and modulates growth cone guidance
  • promotes the velocity and directionality of tumor-derived cell migration by determining the cytoplasmic fate of two novel target mRNAs: MAPK4 and PTEN
  • promotes the velocity and persistence of tumor cell migration by controlling the expression of signaling proteins
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation
    protein, translation regulation
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • component of the coding region determinant (CRD)-mediated complex
  • identified in a HCV IRES-mediated translation complex
  • identified in a mRNP complex
  • in complex with four proteins promotes CRD-mediated c-myc mRNA stabilization
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
  • binding to the 5' UTR of the insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) mRNA
  • binding to the coding region of BTRCP1 mRNA and stabilizing it, preventing its degradation by attenuating its miRNA-183-dependent interaction with Ago2 ,
  • interacting with both hepatitis C virus 5'UTR and 3'UTR, recruiting EIF3 and enhancing HCV translation
  • small molecule
    protein
  • heterodimerizing with IGF2BP3
  • interacting with HIV-1 GAG
  • interacting with DHX9, ELAVL2, HNRNPA2B1, HNRNPC, HNRNPH1, HNRNPU, IGF2BP2, ILF2, PABPC1, YBX1, FMR1, ELAVL4
  • specific interaction of KIF11 with IGF2BP1 regulates the transport of ACTB mRNA and cell motility
