RNA-binding protein involved in deadenylation-dependent decapping of mRNAs, leading to the degradation of mRNAs. Acts as a scaffold protein that connects deadenylation and decapping machinery. Required for cytoplasmic mRNA processing body (P-body) assembly.
Subcellular locations: Cytoplasm, P-body, Nucleus, Nucleus, PML body, Nucleus speckle
Predominantly cytoplasmic. Shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm in a CRM1-dependent manner. Enriched in splicing speckles. Localization to nuclear foci and speckles requires active transcription. Excluded from the nucleolus.
