TARBP1
Gene Information
- Official Symbol: TARBP1
- Official Name: TAR (HIV-1) RNA binding protein 1
- Aliases and Previous Symbols: N/A
- Entrez ID: 6894
- UniProt: Q13395
- Interactions: BioGRID
- PubMed articles: Open PubMed

Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: N/A
- UniProt Summary: Probable S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyltransferase which methylates RNA molecules such as tRNAs. In case of infection by HIV-1, it binds to the loop region of TAR RNA, a region also bound by RNA polymerase II. Binding of TARBP1 and RNA polymerase II to HIV-1 TAR RNA is mutually exclusive, suggesting that TARBP1 may function alone or in conjunction with HIV-1 Tat to disengage RNA polymerase II from HIV-1 TAR RNA. May act by methylating HIV-1 TAR RNA. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7638159, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8626763, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8846792}.
