Protein that facilitates ribosomal subunit dissociation; Dom34-Hbs1 complex and Rli1p have roles in dissociating inactive ribosomes to facilitate translation restart, particularly ribosomes stalled in 3' UTRs; required for RNA cleavage in no-go decay, but reports conflict on endonuclease activity; Pelota ortholog; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress; DOM34 has a paralog, YCL001W-B, that arose from the whole genome duplication
