mRNA-binding protein of the PUF family; binds to specific mRNAs, often in the 3' UTR; has broad specificity and binds to more than 1000 mRNAs (16% of the transcriptome); recruits the CCR4-NOT deadenylase complex to mRNAs along with Dhh1p and Dcp1p to promote deadenylation, decapping, and decay; also interacts with the Caf20p translational initiation repressor, affecting its mRNA target specificity [Source:SGD;Acc:S000003146]
