Short Name | Gawky_UBA |
description | This entry represents the UBA domain of Gawky.Protein Gawky (also known as GW182) plays a role in RNA-mediated gene silencing by micro-RNAs (miRNAs) [, ]. It is a component of cytoplasmic mRNA processing bodies required for early Drosophila development []. GW182 interacts with AGO1, and this interaction is essential for silencing by miRNAs []. It recruits the CCR4-NOT deadenylase complex through the interaction with PABPC1 []. |
