    basic FUNCTION
  • functioning as translational coactivators of poliovirus RNA via a sequence-specific interaction with stem-loop IV of the IRES and promote poliovirus RNA replication by binding to its 5'-terminal cloverleaf structure
  • implicated in translational control of the 15-lipoxygenase mRNA, human Papillomavirus type 16 L2 mRNA, and hepatitis A virus RNA
  • implicated in control of RNA stability and translation and selective cap-independent transcription
  • playing a part in formation of a sequence-specific alpha-globin mRNP complex which is associated with alpha-globin mRNA stability
  • involved in the selective expression of cell survival factors through posttranslational events
  • with CNBP, stimulate translation of the ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) internal ribosomal entry site (Gerbasi 2007)
  • appeared to function as part of a larger holo-ITAF ribonucleoprotein complex (Gerbasi 2007)
  • may play an important role in the IFNA response against HCV (hepatitis C virus) and may benefit the HCV clinical therapy
  • broad role for PCBP1 and PCBP2 in delivering iron to cytosolic nonheme iron enzymes
  • a feedback inhibitor of mitochondrial antiviral signaling that facilitates its degradation after viral infection
  • PCBP1 and PCBP2 may serve as iron chaperones to multiple classes of cytosolic nonheme iron enzymes and may have a particular role in restoring metal cofactors that are spontaneously lost in iron deficient cells
  • CELLULAR PROCESS protein, translation regulation

    DNA
    RNA binding
    small molecule
    protein
  • binding to BCR-ABL
  • binding partner of MAPKAP1
  • induced after viral infection, and its interaction with MAVS led to proteasomal degradation of MAVS (is recruited the HECT domain-containing E3 ligase ITCH to polyubiquitinate and degrade MAVS
  • negative regulator in MAVS-mediated signaling
  • SRSF4 binds to the proximal downstream intron of MAPT exon 10 at the FTDP-17 hotspot region and interacts with RBMX and PCBP2 (increased exon 10 inclusion in FTDP mutants may arise from weakened SRSF4 binding)
  • associated with DICER and promotes the processing of miRNA precursors (Cytosolic iron could modulate this association, as well as the multimerization of PCBP2 and its ability to bind to miRNA precursors, which can alter the processing of miRNA precursors)
  • PCBP1 and PCBP2 deliver iron to deoxyhypusine hydroxylase (DOHH), the dinuclear iron enzyme required for hypusine modification of the translation factor
