Enables RNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in intracellular distribution of mitochondria. Located in cytoplasmic stress granule. Orthologous to human CLUH (clustered mitochondria homolog).
SGD Description
Subunit of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF3); component of unknown function; deletion causes defects in mitochondrial organization but not in growth or translation initiation; can rescue cytokinesis and mitochondrial organization defects of the Dictyostelium cluA- mutant; eIF3 is also involved in programmed stop codon readthrough
