ID:ELAV4_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=ELAV-like protein 4; AltName: Full=Hu-antigen D; Short=HuD; AltName: Full=Paraneoplastic encephalomyelitis antigen HuD; FUNCTION: May play a role in neuron-specific RNA processing. Protects CDKN1A mRNA from decay by binding to its 3'-UTR (By similarity). Binds to AU-rich sequences (AREs) of target mRNAs, including VEGF and FOS mRNA. SUBUNIT: Component of a TAU mRNP complex, at least composed of IGF2BP1, ELAVL4 and G3BP (By similarity). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Brain. PTM: Methylation at Arg-243 by CARM1 weakens protective binding to the 3'-UTR of CDKN1A mRNA and down-regulates CDKN1A protein expression, thereby maintaining cells in a proliferative state. Methylation is inhibited by NGF, which facilitates neurite outgrowth (By similarity). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the RRM elav family. SIMILARITY: Contains 3 RRM (RNA recognition motif) domains.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
