PUM1_HUMAN Protein

Name Pumilio homolog 1
Description Sequence-specific RNA-binding protein that negatively regulates translation and mRNA stability by binding the 3'-UTR of mRNA targets. Binds to an RNA consensus sequence, the Pumilio Response Element (PRE), 5'-UGUANAUA-3', that is related to the Nanos Response Element (NRE). Capable of deadenylation-dependent and -independent modes of repression. May be required to support proliferation and self-renewal of stem cells.
