Genes Inhibited

Gene Inhibited

Description of "R06F6.1"

cdl-1 encodes a homolog of human hairpin (stem-loop) binding proteins (HBP/SLBP) that bind to the hairpin (stem-loop) structure in the 3' untranslated region (3' UTR) of histone mRNAs, and thus promote histone pre-mRNA processing and translation of mature histone mRNA; CDL-1 is required for normally high levels of histone gene expression, normal cell division during late larval development, embryonic viability, normal vulval morphogenesis, normally rapid apoptosis, and fertility; CDL-1 binds to the stem-loop structure in the 3' UTR of core-histone mRNA; the cdl-1 promoter is most active in dividing cells during embryogenesis and postembryonic development; both CDL-1 and human HBP contain a minimal RNA-binding domain (RBD) of roughly 73 amino acids that has no similarity with other known RNA-binding motifs.
