RNA-binding protein
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
RNA-binding proteins are typically cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins that associate with (bind) double-strand or single-strand RNAs through RNA recognition motif (RRM). RNA-binding proteins may regulate the translation of RNA, and post-transcriptional events, such as RNA splicing, editing.
Some examples include: translation initiation factors that bind RNA, polyA-binding proteins, snRNPs, ADAR, etc.
