ID:PELO_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Protein pelota homolog; EC=3.1.-.-; FUNCTION: Required for normal chromosome segregation during cell division and genomic stability (By similarity). May function in recognizing stalled ribosomes and triggering endonucleolytic cleavage of the mRNA, a mechanism to release non-functional ribosomes and degrade damaged mRNAs. May have ribonuclease activity (Potential). COFACTOR: Divalent metal cations (Potential). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (Potential). Cytoplasm (By similarity). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Ubiquitously expressed. DOMAIN: The N-terminal domain has the RNA-binding Sm fold. It may harbor the endoribonuclease activity (Potential). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the eukaryotic release factor 1 family. Pelota subfamily.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
