Predicting RNA-binding residues from evolutionary information and sequence conservation [PDF]
Background RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) play crucial roles in post-transcriptional control of RNA. RBPs are designed to efficiently recognize specific RNA sequences after it is derived from the DNA sequence. To satisfy diverse functional requirements, RNA

Chemoproteomic capture of RNA binding activity in living cells
Proteomic methods for RNA interactome capture (RIC) rely principally on crosslinking native or labeled cellular RNA to enrich and investigate RNA-binding protein (RBP) composition and function in cells.

Protein-RNA interactions: a structural analysis [PDF]
A detailed computational analysis of 32 protein-RNA complexes is presented. A number of physical and chemical properties of the intermolecular interfaces are calculated and compared with those observed in protein-double-stranded DNA and protein-single ...

Possible Involvement of the Phloem Lectin in Long-Distance Viroid Movement
Incubation with cucumber phloem exudate in vitro results in a dramatic decrease in the electrophoretic mobility of Hop stunt viroid. UV cross-linking and a combination of size exclusion and ion exchange chromatography indicate that this phenomenon ...

Molecular principles underlying dual RNA specificity in the Drosophila SNF protein [PDF]
The first RNA recognition motif of the Drosophila SNF protein is an example of an RNA binding protein with multi-specificity. It binds different RNA hairpin loops in spliceosomal U1 or U2 small nuclear RNAs, and only in the latter case requires the ...

RNA binding proteins in osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic degenerative joint disease worldwide. The pathological features of OA are the erosion of articular cartilage, subchondral bone sclerosis, synovitis, and metabolic disorder. Its progression is characterized by aberrant expression of genes involved in inflammation, proliferation, and metabolism of chondrocytes ...

Recognition of two distinct elements in the RNA substrate by the RNA-binding domain of the T. thermophilus DEAD box helicase Hera [PDF]
DEAD box helicases catalyze the ATP-dependent destabilization of RNA duplexes. Whereas duplex separation is mediated by the helicase core shared by all members of the family, flanking domains often contribute to binding of the RNA substrate.

Mechanism of RNA recognition by a Musashi RNA-binding protein
The Musashi RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) regulate translation of target mRNAs and maintenance of cell stemness and tumorigenesis. Musashi-1 (MSI1), long considered as an intestinal and neural stem cell marker, has been more recently found to be over ...
