Summary: Enables poly(A) RNA polymerase activity. Involved in cytosolic mRNA polyadenylation and positive regulation of meiotic cell cycle. Located in P granule. Is expressed in Z2; Z3; and germ line. Orthologous to human TENT4A (terminal nucleotidyltransferase 4A) and TENT4B (terminal nucleotidyltransferase 4B).

What's a GeneRIF?

A reduced number of polysomes are detected in gld-4 mutants and GLD-4 protein co-sediments with polysomes, which together suggest that GLD-4 might stimulate or maintain translation directly.
Title: The cytoplasmic poly(A) polymerases GLD-2 and GLD-4 promote general gene expression via distinct mechanisms.
GLD-4 is predominantly expressed in germ cells, and its activity is essential for early meiotic progression of male and female gametes in the absence of GLD-2
Title: Two conserved regulatory cytoplasmic poly(A) polymerases, GLD-4 and GLD-2, regulate meiotic progression in C. elegans.
