| UniProt functional annotation for Q53H82 | |||
| UniProt code: Q53H82. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Endoribonuclease; cleaves preferentially 3' to purine- pyrimidine dinucleotide motifs in single-stranded RNA. The cleavage product contains a free 3' -OH group. Has no activity with double- stranded RNA or DNA. Required for normal mitochondrial function and cell viability. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26826708}. | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:26826708}; Note=Binds 2 Zn(2+) ions per subunit. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26826708}; | |
| Subunit: | Monomer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26826708}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Mitochondrion matrix {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26826708}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | RNAi-mediated down-regulation results in rapid cell death. The reason for this is not clear; there are only minor changes in mitochondrial mRNA levels. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26826708}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the metallo-beta-lactamase superfamily. Glyoxalase II family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
