PPP1R15A — Protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 15A
PPP1R15A belongs to a gene co-expression module in 15 of 28 SCUBA cell types. Each module groups genes that rise and fall together in that cell type; the genes it shares a module with are its closest co-expression partners there.

Function
Recruits the serine/threonine-protein phosphatase PPP1CA to prevents excessive phosphorylation of the translation initiation factor eIF-2A/EIF2S1, thereby reversing the shut-off of protein synthesis initiated by stress-inducible kinases and facilitating recovery of cells from stress. Down-regulates the TGF-beta signaling pathway by promoting dephosphorylation of TGFB1 by PP1. May promote apoptosis by inducing p53/TP53 phosphorylation on 'Ser-15'. Plays an essential role in autophagy by tuning translation during starvation, thus enabling lysosomal biogenesis and a sustained autophagic flux. Also acts a viral restriction factor by attenuating HIV-1 replication. Mechanistically, mediates the inhibition of HIV-1 TAR RNA-mediated translation. (Microbial infection) Promotes enterovirus 71 replication by mediating the internal ribosome entry site (IRES) activity of viral 5'- UTR
