    Summary
    Enables RNA endonuclease activity. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including CNS glial cell; central brain primordium; embryonic central brain; embryonic central brain neurons; and ganglia. Orthologous to human TSNAX (translin associated factor X). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Oct 2024]

    GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. Findings indicate that the loss of Translin/TRAX complex (dmC3PO) promoted the accumulation of the passenger strand of esi-2.1 (hp-CG4068B) and increased the accumulation of miR-bantam.
      Title: Opposite effects of Drosophila C3PO on gene silencing mediated by esi-2.1 and miRNA-bantam.
    2. These studies establish that Trax adopts the translin fold, possesses catalytic centers essential for C3PO's endoRNase activity and interacts extensively with translin to form an octameric assembly.
      Title: Multimeric assembly and biochemical characterization of the Trax-translin endonuclease complex.
    3. an RNAi regulator that we term C3PO (component 3 promoter of RISC), a complex of Translin and Trax was purified; C3PO is a Mg2+-dependent endoribonuclease that promotes RISC activation by removing siRNA passenger strand cleavage products
      Title: C3PO, an endoribonuclease that promotes RNAi by facilitating RISC activation.
    4. A translin null mutant was generated and a trax nonsense mutation was isolated. Translin is essential for stabilizing its interaction with trax.
