RBM4,RNA-binding motif protein4,contains 2 RRM-type RNA-binding motif and a retroviral-type(RT) zinc finger. RNA-binding factor participates in number of aspects of cellular processes such as alternative splicing of pre-mRNA and translation regulation. RBM4 recruits eIF4A1 to stimulate IRES-dependent translation in responds to cellular stress. Once assembled at the rHRE,the HIF2A-RBM4-eIF4E2 complex captures the 5-prime cap and targets mRNAs to polysomes for active translation,thereby evading hypoxia-induced repression of protein synthesis.
