Protein
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A-1
Organism
Schizosaccharomyces pombe (strain 972 / ATCC 24843)
Function
mRNA-binding protein involved in translation elongation. Has an important function at the level of mRNA turnover, probably acting downstream of decapping. Involved in actin dynamics and cell cycle progression, mRNA decay and probably in a pathway involved in stress response and maintenance of cell wall integrity. Functions as a regulator of apoptosis (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the eIF-5A family.
