TDRD3


Description

The TDRD3 (tudor domain containing 3) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 13.

Tudor domain-containing protein 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TDRD3 gene. It contains a Tudor domain and UBA protein domain and has three distinct Protein isoforms.

Tudor domain-containing protein 3 (TDRD3) acts as a scaffolding protein that binds dimethylarginine-containing proteins, playing a role in regulating the translation of target mRNAs by binding Arg/Gly-rich motifs (GAR) in these proteins. In the nucleus, it functions as a coactivator, recognizing and binding asymmetric dimethylation on core histone tails associated with transcriptional activation (H3R17me2a and H4R3me2a), and recruiting proteins to these arginine-methylated loci. In the cytoplasm, TDRD3 acts as an antiviral factor, participating in the assembly of stress granules alongside G3BP1.

TDRD3 is also known as -.
