MPT5 [YGL178W]
Pumilio homology domain family member 5; mRNA-binding protein of the PUF family; binds to specific mRNAs, often in the 3' UTR; has broad specificity and binds to more than 1000 mRNAs (16% of the transcriptome); recruits the CCR4-NOT deadenylase complex to mRNAs along with Dhh1p and Dcp1p to promote deadenylation, decapping, and decay; also interacts with the Caf20p translational initiation repressor, affecting its mRNA target specificity
Synonyms: MPT5, MPT5p, P39016, BIC834, HTR1 ...
