Introduction
PA2G4, a member of the peptidase M24C family, acts as an RNA-binding protein with roles in cellular proliferation and differentiation. It participates in ribosome assembly and regulates rRNA processing as a component of pre-ribosomal ribonucleoprotein complexes. Additionally, PA2G4 interacts with ErbB-3, potentially modulating the ErbB-3 signaling pathway by regulating Neuregulin-1 effects. It also functions as a transcriptional co-repressor of androgen receptor-regulated and cell cycle regulatory genes via interactions with histone deacetylases. PA2G4 has been implicated in inhibiting growth and inducing differentiation in human cancer cells. Moreover, it mediates cap-independent translation of specific viral internal ribosomal entry sites (IRESs). PA2G4 associates with mature 28S, 18S, and 5.8S rRNAs, several rRNA precursors, and possibly U3 small nucleolar RNA.
