| UniProt functional annotation for Q9UL40 | |||
| UniProt code: Q9UL40. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Binds with low affinity to dsDNA and ssRNA, and with high affinity to dsRNA, with no detectable sequence specificity (PubMed:24521053). May bind to specific miRNA hairpins (PubMed:28431233). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24521053, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28431233}. | |
| Subunit: | Forms a heteromeric complex with XPO5 and ILF3. Found in a nuclear export complex with XPO5, RAN, ILF3, ZNF346 and double-stranded RNA. Interacts with XPO5. Interacts with ILF3 in an RNA-independent manner. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15254228}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Nucleus, nucleolus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15254228}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15254228}. Note=Nuclear at steady state, primarily in the nucleolus. Shuttles between the nucleus and cytoplasm when associated with XPO5. | |
| Domain: | The zinc-finger domains are required for binding to dsRNA, and also for nuclear localization. {ECO:0000250}. | |
