UniProt functional annotation for Q5JIB9

UniProt code: Q5JIB9.

Organism: Thermococcus kodakarensis (strain ATCC BAA-918 / JCM 12380 / KOD1) (Pyrococcus kodakaraensis (strain KOD1)).
Taxonomy: Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Thermococci; Thermococcales; Thermococcaceae; Thermococcus.
 
Function: May function in recognizing stalled ribosomes, interact with stem-loop structures in stalled mRNA molecules, and effect endonucleolytic cleavage of the mRNA. May play a role in the release non-functional ribosomes and degradation of damaged mRNAs. Has endoribonuclease activity. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01853}.
 
Cofactor: Name=a divalent metal cation; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:60240; Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01853};
Subunit: Monomer. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01853}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01853}.
Domain: The N-terminal domain has the RNA-binding Sm fold. It harbors the endoribonuclease activity. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01853}.
Similarity: Belongs to the eukaryotic release factor 1 family. Pelota subfamily. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01853}.
