Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable ribonuclease P RNA binding activity. Predicted to contribute to ribonuclease MRP activity and ribonuclease P activity. Predicted to be involved in endonucleolytic cleavage in ITS1 to separate SSU-rRNA from 5.8S rRNA and LSU-rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA) and tRNA 5'-leader removal. Predicted to act upstream of or within rRNA processing and tRNA processing. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of nucleolar ribonuclease P complex and ribonuclease MRP complex. Orthologous to human RPP40 (ribonuclease P/MRP subunit p40).
