| UniProt code: Q8IV48. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | RNA exonuclease that binds to the 3'-end of histone mRNAs and degrades them, suggesting that it plays an essential role in histone mRNA decay after replication. A 2' and 3'-hydroxyl groups at the last nucleotide of the histone 3'-end is required for efficient degradation of RNA substrates. Also able to degrade the 3'-overhangs of short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) in vitro, suggesting a possible role as regulator of RNA interference (RNAi). Requires for binding the 5'- ACCCA-3' sequence present in stem-loop structure. Able to bind other mRNAs. Required for 5.8S rRNA 3'-end processing. Also binds to 5.8s ribosomal RNA. Binds with high affinity to the stem-loop structure of replication-dependent histone pre-mRNAs. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14536070, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16912046}. | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Note=Binds 2 magnesium ions per subunit.; | |
| Activity regulation: | Although it can bind simultaneously with SLBP to the 3'-end of histone mRNA, the presence of SLBP prevents the exonuclease activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14536070}. | |
| Subunit: | Identified in a histone pre-mRNA complex, at least composed of ERI1, LSM11, SLBP, SNRPB, SYNCRIP and YBX1. Interacts in a cooperative manner with SLBP to the mature 3'-end of histone mRNAs (By similarity). Binds to 40S and 60S ribosomal subunits and to 80S assembled ribosomes. Found in a ternary complex with SLBP and the stem-loop structure of the 3'-end of histone mRNAs. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15451662, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16912046}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16912046}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16912046}. Nucleus, nucleolus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16912046}. | |
| Domain: | The SAP domain is necessary for binding to the stem-loop structure of histone mRNAs and to form the ternary complex with SLBP, but not for 3'-end histone mRNA exonuclease activity. | |
| Sequence caution: | Sequence=CAB70871.2; Type=Erroneous termination; Note=Truncated C-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; Sequence=CAB70871.2; Type=Frameshift; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; | |
