This RNA binding domain is found at the C-terminus of a number of DEAD helicase proteins [1]. It is sufficient to confer specificity for hairpin 92 of 23S rRNA, which is part of the ribosomal A-site. However, several members of this family lack specificity for 23S rRNA. These can proteins can generally be distinguished by a basic region that extends beyond this domain [Karl Kossen, unpublished data].
