Predicted to enable translation initiation factor activity. Predicted to contribute to tRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in formation of translation preinitiation complex. Predicted to be part of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 complex. Expressed in tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in MEHMO syndrome. Is an ortholog of human EIF2S3 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit gamma) and EIF2S3B (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit gamma B).
Enables rRNA (cytosine-C5-)-methyltransferase activity and tRNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in rRNA methylation and tRNA methylation. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Is an ortholog of human NSUN4 (NOP2/Sun RNA methyltransferase 4).
Expressed in body wall musculature; germ line; hypodermis; intestine; and pharynx. Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: Phosducin, N-terminal domain superfamily; Phosducin; Thioredoxin-like superfamily; and Phosducin, thioredoxin-like domain. Is an ortholog of human PDC (phosducin) and PDCL (phosducin like).
Involved in negative regulation of turning behavior involved in mating. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Expressed in PVM; head; nerve ring; and tail.
