Summary: Enables long noncoding RNA binding activity; mRNA 3'-UTR binding activity; and translation repressor activity, mRNA regulatory element binding. Involved in dosage compensation complex assembly and negative regulation of translational initiation. Part of messenger ribonucleoprotein complex. Is active in cytosol. Is expressed in central brain primordium; embryonic brain; larval ventral nerve cord; organism; and ventral nerve cord primordium. Used to study autism spectrum disorder. Orthologous to human CSDE1 (cold shock domain containing E1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

These results suggest that UNR exploits the transcript diversity generated by alternative processing and alternative promoter usage to bind and regulate target genes in a sex-specific manner.
Title: Widespread generation of alternative UTRs contributes to sex-specific RNA binding by UNR.
Efficient msl-2 mRNA silencing via the 3' UTR requires both a poly(A) tail and PABP function, indicating that UNR directly interacts with PABP.
