Rpf2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable 5S rRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in maturation of LSU-rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA); protein localization to nucleolus; and regulation of signal transduction by p53 class mediator. Predicted to be located in chromosome and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleolus. Orthologous to human RPF2 (ribosome production factor 2 homolog).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Rpf2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- RNA polymerase II transcription factor activity, sequence-specific DNA binding
- 5S rRNA binding
- Brix domain
- protein binding
- The Brix domain is found in a number of eukaryotic proteins
