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}.
