IPR033956

Description

IPR033956 is a Translin.

<p>Translin (also known as TB-RBP for Testis Brain RNA-binding protein, a mouse orthologue), is a paralogue of its binding partner protein TRAX (translin-associated factor-X) [[cite:PUB00005776]] and together they form oligomeric complexes known as C3PO proteins (for component 3 promoter of RNA-induced silencing complex or RISC) [[cite:PUB00081871]]. DNA damage has been proposed to stimulate transport of Translin into nuclei. It binds to RNA and single-stranded DNA, and its selectivity is modulated by interactions with GTP and TRAX. Translin may also regulate dendritic trafficking of BDNF RNAs as well as function as a key activator of siRNA-mediated silencing in Drosophila [[cite:PUB00081872]]. Translin and Trax participate in a variety of nucleic acid metabolism pathways in addition to RNAi and have been implicated in a wide range of biological activities, including mRNA processing, cell growth regulation, spermatogenesis, neuronal development/function, genome stability regulation and carcinogenesis [[cite:PUB00081875], [cite:PUB00081874], [cite:PUB00081876]]; however, their precise role in some of the processes remains unclear.</p>

Associated GO terms

GO predictions are based solely on the InterPro-to-GO mappings published by EMBL-EBI, which are in turn based on the mapping of predicted domains to the InterPro dataset. The InterPro-to-GO mapping was last updated on , while the GO metadata was last updated on .
