MIF4G domain-containing protein (SLBP-interacting protein 1, hSLIP1, MIF4GD, SLIP1)
Function:
- 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
- interacts with EIF4G1, EIF4G2 & SLBP; probably tethered by SLBP to the 3'-end of mRNAs ending with the histone stem-loop,
- also interacts with EIF4G1 which is bound to their 5'-end
Structure:
- belongs to the MIF4GD family
- contains 1 MIF4G domain
Compartment: cytoplasm, nucleus
Alternative splicing: named isoforms=2
Pathology:
- depletion of MIF4GD results in cell death & diminished histone mRNA translation
