The RRM motif (a.k.a. RRM, RBD, or RNP domain) is probably diagnostic of an RNA binding protein. RRMs are found in a variety of RNA binding proteins, including various hnRNP proteins, proteins implicated in regulation of alternative splicing, and protein components of snRNPs. The motif also appears in a few single stranded DNA binding proteins. The RRM structure consists of four strands and two helices arranged in an alpha/beta sandwich, with a third helix present during RNA binding in some cases The C-terminal beta strand (4th strand) and final helix are hard to align and have been omitted in the SEED alignment The LA proteins (Swiss:P05455) have an N terminal rrm which is included in the seed. There is a second region towards the C terminus that has some features characteristic of a rrm but does not appear to have the important structural core of a rrm. The LA proteins (Swiss:P05455) are one of the main autoantigens in Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease.

Nrd1 is a heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP)-like RNA-binding protein, part of the Nrd1-Nab3-Sen1 (NNS) complex which is involved in the termination and processing of short RNA polymerase II transcripts [1]. Seb1 is the Nrd1 homologue from S. pombe that is essential for cell viability and binds directly to Rpb7 subunit of RNA polymerase II. It functions in terminating all classes of Pol II-transcribed genes genome-wide. These proteins have a RNA-recognition motif (RRM, Pfam:PF00076) fused to a second alpha/beta domain described as domain 2 (also referred to as the split domain, SD, in [3]) from Nrd1 and Seb1. This domain is essential and forms a rigid body with the canonical RRM that interacts with RNA [1-3].
