Type: | Family | Name: | RNA-binding AU-1 |
Description: | This entry represents the AU-1 protein from archaea. The protein member from Pyrococcus furiosus, FAU-1 (P. furiosus AU-binding) , is highly charged, heat-stable protein from that binds specifically to the AU-rich sequence in a loop region of RNA []. FAU-1 appears to act as an oligomer, possibly a trimer. The N-terminal region of this protein resembles RNase E from Escherichia coli. | Short Name: | RNA-bd_AU-1 |
