Pelo Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable nucleoside-triphosphatase regulator activity; ribosome binding activity; and stalled ribosome sensor activity. Predicted to be involved in nonfunctional rRNA decay; nuclear-transcribed mRNA catabolic process, no-go decay; and rescue of stalled ribosome. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including inner cell mass cell proliferation; mesenchymal to epithelial transition; and positive regulation of BMP signaling pathway. Predicted to be part of Dom34-Hbs1 complex. Predicted to be active in cytosolic ribosome. Orthologous to human PELO (pelota mRNA surveillance and ribosome rescue factor).

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 Pelo often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
