This is a zinc-finger domain with the CxxCx(12)Hx(6)H motif, found in multiple copies in a wide range of proteins from plants to metazoans. Some member proteins, particularly those from plants, are annotated as being RNA-binding.
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 pro ...
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.
Poly(A) RNA polymerase, mitochondrial-like, central palm domain
This domain is found in human Poly(A) RNA polymerase, mitochondrial (MTPAP) and similar proteins from eukaryotes. MTPAP is a noncanonical polymerase that creates the 3' poly(A) tail of mitochondrial transcripts. It contains three domains: a N-termina ...
This domain is found in human Poly(A) RNA polymerase, mitochondrial (MTPAP) and similar proteins from eukaryotes. MTPAP is a noncanonical polymerase that creates the 3' poly(A) tail of mitochondrial transcripts. It contains three domains: a N-terminal domain RL (Pfam:PF17797) and the canonical palm (this entry) and fingers domains. This domain shows a five -stranded beta-sheet with the three catalytic aspartic acid residues located on its surface [6], together with several alpha- helices, forming an alpha-beta configuration.
