Summary: Predicted to enable RNA endonuclease activity. Involved in several processes, including female germ-line stem cell asymmetric division; male germ-line stem cell population maintenance; and spermatogenesis. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of Dom34-Hbs1 complex. Is expressed in adult head. Orthologous to human PELO (pelota mRNA surveillance and ribosome rescue factor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Title: The RNA surveillance complex Pelo-Hbs1 is required for transposon silencing in the Drosophila germline.
data demonstrated that pelo is a host factor that is required for high efficiency translation of viral capsids and targeting pelo could be a strategy for general inhibition of viral infection.
Title: pelo is required for high efficiency viral replication.
Pelo controls GSC self-renewal by repressing a Bam-independent differentiation pathway possibly through regulating translation.
