RNA-binding proteins that lack canonical RNA-binding domains are rarely sequence-specific
Thousands of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) crosslink to cellular mRNA. Among these are numerous unconventional RBPs (ucRBPs)—proteins that associate with RNA but lack known RNA-binding domains (RBDs).

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

Identification of RNA-binding Proteins
This protocol describes the extraction of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) from cell lysates. In order to pull down target RBPs, 5-bromo-UTP (BrUTP)-incorporated RNA probes are used, which are generated by in vitro transcription.

Identification of novel components of Trypanosoma brucei editosomes [PDF]
The editosome is a multiprotein complex that catalyzes the insertion and deletion of uridylates that occurs during RNA editing in trypanosomatids. We report the identification of nine novel editosome proteins in Trypanosoma brucei.

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.
