Function

RNA-binding protein implicated in numerous RNA metabolic processes. Catalyzes the phosphorolysis of single-stranded polyribonucleotides processively in the 3'-to-5' direction. Mitochondrial intermembrane factor with RNA-processing exoribonulease activity. Component of the mitochondrial degradosome (mtEXO) complex, that degrades 3' overhang double- stranded RNA with a 3'-to-5' directionality in an ATP-dependent manner. Required for correct processing and polyadenylation of mitochondrial mRNAs. Plays a role as a cytoplasmic RNA import factor that mediates the translocation of small RNA components, like the 5S RNA, the RNA subunit of ribonuclease P and the mitochondrial RNA-processing (MRP) RNA, into the mitochondrial matrix. Plays a role in mitochondrial morphogenesis and respiration; regulates the expression of the electron transport chain (ETC) components at the mRNA and protein levels. In the cytoplasm, shows a 3'-to-5' exoribonuclease mediating mRNA degradation activity; degrades c-myc mRNA upon treatment with IFNB1/IFN-beta, resulting in a growth arrest in melanoma cells. Regulates the stability of specific mature miRNAs in melanoma cells; specifically and selectively degrades miR-221, preferentially. Plays also a role in RNA cell surveillance by cleaning up oxidized RNAs. Binds to the RNA subunit of ribonuclease P, MRP RNA and miR-221 microRNA. {ECO:0000269PubMed:12473748, ECO:0000269PubMed:12721301, ECO:0000269PubMed:12798676, ECO:0000269PubMed:16055741, ECO:0000269PubMed:16410805, ECO:0000269PubMed:16934922, ECO:0000269PubMed:18083836, ECO:0000269PubMed:18083837, ECO:0000269PubMed:18501193, ECO:0000269PubMed:19509288, ECO:0000269PubMed:20547861, ECO:0000269PubMed:20691904}.

Disease Associations

Combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 13 (COXPD13) [MIM:614932]: A mitochondrial disorder characterized by early onset severe encephalomyopathy, dystonia, choreoathetosis, bucofacial dyskinesias and combined mitochondrial respiratory chain deficiency. Nerve conductions velocities are decreased. Levels of plasma and cerebrospinal fluid lactate are increased. {ECO:0000269PubMed:23084291}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.Deafness, autosomal recessive, 70 (DFNB70) [MIM:614934]: A form of non-syndromic deafness characterized by severe, bilateral hearing impairment with prelingual onset, resulting in inability to acquire normal speech. {ECO:0000269PubMed:23084290}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
