DNA/RNA-binding protein Alba 1

UniProtKB accession:  P60849

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Binds double-stranded DNA tightly but without sequence specificity (PubMed:11935028, PubMed:12198167, PubMed:20082605). Involved in DNA compaction (PubMed:16004869, PubMed:23271660, PubMed:35454068). Possesses DNA endonuclease activity (PubMed:36947546). Prevents transcription after DNA binding (PubMed:11935028). Binds single-stranded DNA and RNA in vitro (PubMed:20082605). Binds rRNA and mRNA in vivo (By similarity). May play a role in maintaining the structural and functional stability of RNA, and, perhaps, ribosomes (By similarity). Binds double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and exhibits RNA chaperone activity (By similarity). Required for normal growth (By similarity).
