DESCRIPTION

Also known as DDX6_HUMAN, DDX6, HLR2, RCK. Essential for the formation of P-bodies, cytosolic membrane-less ribonucleoprotein granules involved in RNA metabolism through the coordinated storage of mRNAs encoding regulatory functions (PubMed:25995375, PubMed:27342281, PubMed:31422817). Plays a role in P-bodies to coordinate the storage of translationally inactive mRNAs in the cytoplasm and prevent their degradation (PubMed:27342281). In the process of mRNA degradation, plays a role in mRNA decapping (PubMed:16364915). Blocks autophagy in nutrient-rich conditions by repressing the expression of ATG-related genes through degradation of their transcripts (PubMed:26098573). Interacts with LSM14A, LSM14B, EIF4ENIF1/4E-T, PATL1, EDC3 and EDC4 (PubMed:26027925, PubMed:31422817, PubMed:27342281, PubMed:28216671, PubMed:32354837, PubMed:26489469, PubMed:29510985, PubMed:31439631). Forms a complex with DCP1A, DCP2, EDC3 and EDC4/HEDLS (PubMed:16364915, PubMed:19285948). Interacts with LIMD1, WTIP and AJUBA (PubMed:20616046). Interacts with APOBEC3G in an RNA-dependent manner (PubMed:16699599). Interacts with RC3H1 (By similarity). Interacts with ATXN2L (PubMed:23209657). Interacts with MCRIP1 (PubMed:26184334). Interacts with MCRIP2 (PubMed:26184334). Interacts with NUFIP2 (PubMed:26184334). Interacts with TRIM71 (via NHL repeats) in an RNA-dependent manner (PubMed:23125361). Interacts with GIGYF1 and GIGYF2 (PubMed:31439631).
