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.
This family is an unusual, usually C-terminal, RNA-recognition motif found in fungi. In yeast it is the fourth RRM domain on the essential splicing factor Prp24. Structurally, it has a non-canonical RRM fold with the expected beta-aloha-beta-beta-alp ...
This family is an unusual, usually C-terminal, RNA-recognition motif found in fungi. In yeast it is the fourth RRM domain on the essential splicing factor Prp24. Structurally, it has a non-canonical RRM fold with the expected beta-aloha-beta-beta-alpha-beta RRM-fold is flanked by N- and C-terminal alpha-helices. These two additional flanking alpha-helices occlude the beta-sheet face. The electropositive surface thereby presented is an alternative RNA-binding surface that allows both binding and unwinding of the U6 small nuclear RNA's internal stem loop, at least in vitro [1].
