DNA/RNA-binding protein Alba 1

UniProtKB accession:  P60848

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Binds double-stranded DNA tightly but without sequence specificity (PubMed:14651642, PubMed:10869069). Involved in DNA compaction (By similarity). Possesses DNA endonuclease activity (By similarity). Prevents transcription after DNA binding (By similarity). Binds single-stranded DNA and RNA in vitro (PubMed:14651642). Binds rRNA and mRNA in vivo (PubMed:14651642). May play a role in maintaining the structural and functional stability of RNA, and, perhaps, ribosomes (PubMed:14651642). Binds double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and exhibits RNA chaperone activity (PubMed:24307170). Required for the normal growth (By similarity).
