UniProtKB description:  Translational regulator that ensures constant high levels of translation under amino acid starvation. Plays a role as a negative regulator of the GCN2 kinase activity; impairs GCN1-mediated GCN2 activation, and hence GCN2-mediated eIF-2-alpha phosphorylation in amino acid-starved cells and subsequent down-regulation of protein synthesis (PubMed:15126500, PubMed:15937339, PubMed:24333428). In normal conditions, it resides in a actin complex and has no activity (PubMed:15126500).
