| UniProt functional annotation for Q15631 | |||
| UniProt code: Q15631. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | DNA-binding protein that specifically recognizes consensus sequences at the breakpoint junctions in chromosomal translocations, mostly involving immunoglobulin (Ig)/T-cell receptor gene segments. Seems to recognize single-stranded DNA ends generated by staggered breaks occurring at recombination hot spots. | |
| Function: | Exhibits both single-stranded and double-stranded endoribonuclease activity. May act as an activator of RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) by facilitating endonucleolytic cleavage of the siRNA passenger strand. | |
| Subunit: | Ring-shaped heterooctamer of six TSN and two TSNAX subunits, DNA/RNA binding occurs inside the ring. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21552258}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11801738}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11801738}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the translin family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
