Ribosome-binding protein involved in ribosome hibernation: associates with translationally inactive ribosomes and stabilizes the nonrotated conformation of the 80S ribosome, thereby promoting ribosome preservation and storage. Also required for proper progression of late cytokinetic stages.
Subcellular locations: Cytoplasm, Cytoskeleton, Microtubule organizing center, Centrosome, Midbody
Colocalizes with gamma-tubulin at interphase, prophase, metaphase, and anaphase. Relocates from centrosome to midbody at telophase.
