WIBG cDNA

WIBG has been identified as an interacting partner of Mago-Y14. The Mago-Y14 heterodimer is a core component of the EJC (exon junction complex) that is deposited on mRNAs as a consequence of splicing and influences postsplicing mRNA metabolism. This protein is a cytoplasmic RNA-binding protein that is excluded from the nucleus by Crm1. It interacts directly with Mago-Y14 by means of its N-terminal domain.
