basic FUNCTION
| having functions in the opposing processes of mRNA translation and mRNA degradation, thus suggesting an important regulatory role |
|
its expression was required for P body formation |
|
physically and functionally connects the deadenylation and decapping machinery, and also controls the assembly of P bodies |
|
appears to have a scaffold function since it interacts with its partners through at least three different domains |
|
when targeted to a reporter mRNA, represses gene expression by inducing deadenylation of the mRNAs |
|
acts as an mRNA-specific deadenylation factor |
