Summary: Enables mRNA binding activity and protein C-terminus binding activity. Involved in several processes, including gamete generation; positive regulation of vulval development; and regulation of cell cycle process. Located in P granule and P-body. Part of polysome. Is expressed in intestine and neurons. Orthologous to several human genes including PABPC1 (poly(A) binding protein cytoplasmic 1) and PABPC1L (poly(A) binding protein cytoplasmic 1 like).

What's a GeneRIF?

It was found that C. elegans PAB1 and PAB2 are required for miRNA-mediated silencing in embryonic and larval developmental stages, where they act through a multi-faceted mechanism.
Title: Poly(A)-binding proteins are required for microRNA-mediated silencing and to promote target deadenylation in C. elegans.
Two different mutations on the same gene, pab-1, which encodes a poly(A)-binding protein show defect in germline stem cell proliferation.
Title: Two mutations in pab-1 encoding poly(A)-binding protein show similar defects in germline stem cell proliferation but different longevity in C. elegans.
PAB-1, a Caenorhabditis elegans poly(A)-binding protein, regulates mRNA metabolism in germline by interacting with CGH-1 and CAR-1.
