Pumilio-homology domain protein; binds the 3' UTR of ASH1 mRNA and represses its translation, resulting in proper asymmetric localization of ASH1 mRNA; required at post-transcriptional step for efficient retrotransposition; absence results in decreased Ty1 Gag:GFP protein levels; co-sediments with the 60S ribosomal subunit and is required for its biogenesis
