This entry represents the RNAse H-like domain found at the N-terminal of exuperantia (Exu) from Drosophila and similar sequences from insects. Exu is a RNA-binding pseudonuclease associated with bicoid mRNA and required for its localization [1]. The catalytic site is degenerate and inactive, then, this domain mediates dimerization and RNA binding.
