DESCRIPTION

Also known as ALBA1_SACS2, albA1, sso10b. Binds double-stranded DNA tightly but without sequence specificity. It is distributed uniformly and abundantly on the chromosome, suggesting a role in chromatin architecture. May be involved in DNA compaction. May bind rRNA and mRNA, playing a role in maintaining the structural and functional stability of RNA, and, perhaps, ribosomes. Homotetramer.
