Function
Key regulator of the exon junction complex (EJC), a multiprotein complex that associates immediately upstream of the exon-exon junction on mRNAs and serves as a positional landmark for the intron exon structure of genes and directs post-transcriptional processes in the cytoplasm such as mRNA export, nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) or translation. Acts as an EJC disassembly factor, allowing translation-dependent EJC removal and recycling by disrupting mature EJC from spliced mRNAs (By similarity). Can increase in vitro the expression from reporter constructs that contain leader introns required for the expression of different genes. In association with MAGO and PYM, participates in intron-mediated enhancement of gene expression (PubMed:21676911).
