Protein pid-3

UniProtKB accession:  O76616

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Component of the pid-1 and tost-1 variants of the PETISCO complexes, which have roles in the biogenesis of a class of 21 nucleotide PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) that possess a uracil residue at the 5'-end (also called 21U-RNAs) and embryogenesis, respectively (PubMed:31147388, PubMed:31216475). Within the pid-1 variant of the PETISCO complex may stabilize 21U-RNA precursor molecules (PubMed:31147388). Promotes the biogenesis of 21U-RNAs (PubMed:31216475). Required for chromosome segregation and cell division in early embryos (PubMed:31216475).
