Essential RNA-binding G protein effector of mating response pathway; ligand-activated RNA-binding protein that delivers RNAs involved in polarization and perpetualizing mating signal to shmoo tip during pheromone signaling; Scp160p-mediated RNA trafficking essential for chemotropism and successful mating; mainly associated with nuclear envelope and ER, interacts in mRNA-dependent manner with translating ribosomes via multiple KH domains, similar to vertebrate vigilins
