The C. elegans genome encodes many RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) with diverse functions in development, indicative of extensive layers of post-transcriptional control of RNA metabolism. A number of C. elegans RBPs have been identified by forward or reverse genetics. They tend to display tissue-specific mutant phenotypes, which underscore their functional

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 ...

L11 domain rearrangement upon binding to RNA and thiostrepton studied by NMR spectroscopy [PDF]
Ribosomal proteins are assumed to stabilize specific RNA structures and promote compact folding of the large rRNA. The conformational dynamics of the protein between the bound and unbound state play an important role in the binding process.

Trim25 is an RNA-specific activator of Lin28a/TuT4-mediated uridylation [PDF]
RNA binding proteins have thousands of cellular RNA targets and often exhibit opposite or passive molecular functions. Lin28a is a conserved RNA binding protein involved in pluripotency and tumorigenesis that was previously shown to trigger TuT4-mediated

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 ...

RNA‐binding properties of hnRNP proteins [PDF]
The RNA‐binding properties of the hnRNP monoparticle proteins were examined using a renaturing blotting procedure. All ‘core’ proteins are able to bind single‐stranded nucleic acids, probably not sequence‐specific. The core proteins C1 and, in one case A2 and B2, are able to bind nucleic acids which are double‐stranded or which show a high degree of ...

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.

PredPRBA: Prediction of Protein-RNA Binding Affinity Using Gradient Boosted Regression Trees
Protein-RNA interactions play essential roles in many biological aspects. Quantifying the binding affinity of protein-RNA complexes is helpful to the understanding of protein-RNA recognition mechanisms and identification of strong binding partners.
