The assembly of EDC4 and Dcp1a into processing bodies is critical for the translational regulation of IL-6.
Title: The Assembly of EDC4 and Dcp1a into Processing Bodies Is Critical for the Translational Regulation of IL-6.
LMKB is the first protein identified to date that interacts with this portion of Ge-1. LMKB was expressed in human B and T lymphocyte cell lines; depletion of LMKB increased expression of IFI44L.
Title: LMKB/MARF1 localizes to mRNA processing bodies, interacts with Ge-1, and regulates IFI44L gene expression.
EDC4 is a processing body (P-body) component.
Title: CCHCR1 interacts with EDC4, suggesting its localization in P-bodies.
The data indicates that DCP2 activation by DCP1 occurs preferentially on the EDC4 scaffold, which may serve to couple DCP2 activation by DCP1 with 5'-to-3' mRNA degradation by XRN1 in human cells.
Title: The activation of the decapping enzyme DCP2 by DCP1 occurs on the EDC4 scaffold and involves a conserved loop in DCP1.
EDC4 might contribute to regulation of CoA biosynthesis in addition to its scaffold function in processing bodies
Title: EDC4 interacts with and regulates the dephospho-CoA kinase activity of CoA synthase.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
