ID:PUM1_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Pumilio homolog 1; Short=HsPUM; Short=Pumilio-1; FUNCTION: Sequence-specific RNA-binding protein that regulates translation and mRNA stability by binding the 3'-UTR of mRNA targets. May be required to support proliferation and self-renewal of stem cells (By similarity). SUBUNIT: Binds in a sequence-specific manner to the 3'-UTR of some mRNAs. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm (Probable). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in brain, heart, kidney, muscle, intestine and stomach. Not expressed in cerebellum, corpus callosum, caudate nucleus, hippocampus, medulla oblongata and putamen. Expressed in all fetal tissues tested. INDUCTION: Strongly down-regulated in keratinocytes upon UVB irradiation. DOMAIN: The pumilio repeats mediate the association with RNA by packing together to form a right-handed superhelix that approximates a half doughnut. The number as well as the specific sequence of the repeats determine the specificity for target mRNAs. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 PUM-HD domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 8 pumilio repeats. SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=BAA07895.3; Type=Erroneous initiation;
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.
