NCBI Protein Information
CAP-binding protein 20
NCBI Summary
Encodes a nuclear cap-binding protein that forms a heterodimeric complex with ABH1 (ATCBP80) and is likely to participate in RNA metabolism. Its mRNA is ubiquitously expressed.Loss of function mutations suggest a role in processing of pri-miRNA and mRNA splicing.

UniProt Comments
Component of the cap-binding complex (CBC), which binds co-transcriptionally to the 5' cap of pre-mRNAs and is involved in various processes such as pre-mRNA splicing and RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi) by microRNAs (miRNAs). The CBC complex is involved in miRNA-mediated RNA interference and is required for primary miRNA processing. In the CBC complex, CBP20 recognizes and binds capped RNAs (m7GpppG-capped RNA) but requires ABH1/CBP80 to stabilize the movement of its N-terminal loop and lock the CBC into a high affinity cap-binding state with the cap structure. CBP20 also plays a role in stabilization of ABH1/CBP80 and ABH1/CBP80 localization to the nucleus. Involved in flowering regulation via its interaction with FRIGIDA.
