UniProt functional annotation for Q5EAQ1

UniProt code: Q5EAQ1.

Organism: Danio rerio (Zebrafish) (Brachydanio rerio).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Actinopterygii; Neopterygii; Teleostei; Ostariophysi; Cypriniformes; Danionidae; Danioninae; Danio.
 
Function: Functions in replication-dependent translation of histone mRNAs which differ from other eukaryotic mRNAs in that they do not end with a poly-A tail but a stem-loop. May participate in circularizing those mRNAs specifically enhancing their translation (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
 
Subunit: Interacts with eif4g1, eif4g2 and slbp; probably tethered by SLBP to the 3'-end of mRNAs ending with the histone stem-loop, it also interacts with eif4g1 which is bound to their 5'-end. {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Nucleus {ECO:0000250}.
Similarity: Belongs to the MIF4GD family. {ECO:0000305}.
