RNA recognition motif. (a.k.a. RRM, RBD, or RNP domain); The RRM motif is probably diagnostic of an RNA binding protein. RRMs are found in a variety of RNA binding proteins, including various hnRNP proteins, proteins implicated in regulation of alternative splicing, and protein components of snRNPs. The motif also appears in a few single stranded DNA binding proteins. The RRM structure consists of four strands and two helices arranged in an alpha/beta sandwich, with a third helix present during RNA binding in some cases The C-terminal beta strand (4th strand) and final helix are hard to align and have been omitted in the SEED alignment The LA proteins have an N terminal rrm which is included in the seed. There is a second region towards the C terminus that has some features characteriztic of a rrm but does not appear to have the important structural core of a rrm. The LA proteins are one of the main autoantigens in Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease.

RNA recognition motif 2 (RRM2) found in serine/arginine-rich splicing factor SRSF1, SRSF9 and similar proteins; This subfamily corresponds to the RRM2 of serine/arginine-rich splicing factor SRSF1, SRSF9 and similar proteins. SRSF1, also termed ASF-1, is a shuttling SR protein involved in constitutive and alternative splicing, nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), mRNA export and translation. It also functions as a splicing-factor oncoprotein that regulates apoptosis and proliferation to promote mammary epithelial cell transformation. SRSF9, also termed SRp30C, has been implicated in the activity of many elements that control splice site selection, the alternative splicing of the glucocorticoid receptor beta in neutrophils and in the gonadotropin-releasing hormone pre-mRNA. SRSF9 can also interact with other proteins implicated in alternative splicing, including YB-1, rSLM-1, rSLM-2, E4-ORF4, Nop30, and p32. Both, SRSF1 and SRSF9, contain two N-terminal RNA recognition motifs (RRMs), also termed RBDs (RNA binding domains) or RNPs (ribonucleoprotein domains), and a C-terminal RS domains rich in serine-arginine dipeptides.

RNA recognition motif 2 (RRM2) found in serine/arginine-rich splicing factor SRSF1, SRSF4 and similar proteins; This subfamily corresponds to the RRM2 of several serine/arginine (SR) proteins that have been classified into two subgroups. The first subgroup consists of serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 4 (SRSF4 or SRp75 or SFRS4), serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 5 (SRSF5 or SRp40 or SFRS5 or HRS) and serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 6 (SRSF6 or SRp55). The second subgroup is composed of serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 1 (SRSF1 or ASF-1), serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 9 (SRSF9 or SRp30C) and plant pre-mRNA-splicing factor SF2 (SR1). These SR proteins are mainly involved in regulating constitutive and alternative pre-mRNA splicing. They also have been implicated in transcription, genomic stability, mRNA export and translation. All SR proteins in this family, except SRSF5, undergo nucleocytoplasmic shuttling, suggesting their widespread roles in gene expression. These SR proteins share a common domain architecture comprising two N-terminal RNA recognition motifs (RRMs), also termed RBDs (RNA binding domains) or RNPs (ribonucleoprotein domains), followed by a C-terminal RS domains rich in serine-arginine dipeptides. Both domains can directly contact with RNA. The RRMs appear to determine the binding specificity and the SR domain also mediates protein-protein interactions. In addition, this subfamily includes the yeast nucleolar protein 3 (Npl3p), also termed mitochondrial targeting suppressor 1 protein, or nuclear polyadenylated RNA-binding protein 1. It is a major yeast RNA-binding protein that competes with 3'-end processing factors, such as Rna15, for binding to the nascent RNA, protecting the transcript from premature termination and coordinating transcription termination and the packaging of the fully processed transcript for export. It specifically recognizes a class of G/U-rich RNAs. Npl3p is a multi-domain protein with two RRMs, separated by a short linker and a C-terminal domain rich in glycine, arginine and serine residues.

RNA recognition motif 2 (RRM2) found in serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 4 (SRSF4) and similar proteins; This subfamily corresponds to the RRM2 of three serine/arginine (SR) proteins: serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 4 (SRSF4 or SRp75 or SFRS4), serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 5 (SRSF5 or SRp40 or SFRS5 or HRS), serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 6 (SRSF6 or SRp55). SRSF4 plays an important role in both, constitutive and alternative, splicing of many pre-mRNAs. It can shuttle between the nucleus and cytoplasm. SRSF5 regulates both alternative splicing and basal splicing. It is the only SR protein efficiently selected from nuclear extracts (NE) by the splicing enhancer (ESE) and is essential for enhancer activation. SRSF6 preferentially interacts with a number of purine-rich splicing enhancers (ESEs) to activate splicing of the ESE-containing exon. It is the only protein from HeLa nuclear extract or purified SR proteins that specifically binds B element RNA after UV irradiation. SRSF6 may also recognize different types of RNA sites. Members in this family contain two N-terminal RNA recognition motifs (RRMs), also termed RBDs (RNA binding domains) or RNPs (ribonucleoprotein domains), followed by a C-terminal RS domains rich in serine-arginine dipeptides.

RNA recognition motif 2 (RRM2) found in vertebrate serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 5 (SRSF5); This subgroup corresponds to the RRM2 of SRSF5, also termed delayed-early protein HRS, or pre-mRNA-splicing factor SRp40, or splicing factor, arginine/serine-rich 5 (SFRS5), is an essential splicing regulatory serine/arginine (SR) protein that regulates both alternative splicing and basal splicing. It is the only SR protein efficiently selected from nuclear extracts (NE) by the splicing enhancer (ESE) and it is necessary for enhancer activation. SRSF5 also functions as a factor required for insulin-regulated splice site selection for protein kinase C (PKC) betaII mRNA. It is involved in the regulation of PKCbetaII exon inclusion by insulin via its increased phosphorylation by a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) signaling pathway. Moreover, SRSF5 can regulate alternative splicing in exon 9 of glucocorticoid receptor pre-mRNA in a dose-dependent manner. SRSF5 contains two N-terminal RNA recognition motifs (RRMs), also termed RBDs (RNA binding domains) or RNPs (ribonucleoprotein domains), followed by a C-terminal RS domains rich in serine-arginine dipeptides. The specific RNA binding by SRSF5 requires the phosphorylation of its SR domain.

RNA recognition motif 2 (RRM2) found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein HRB1, G-strand-binding protein 2 (GBP2) and similar proteins; The family includes Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein HRB1 (also called protein TOM34) and GBP2, both of which are SR-like mRNA-binding proteins which shuttle from the nucleus to the cytoplasm when bound to the mature mRNA molecules. They act as quality control factors for spliced mRNAs. GBP2, also called RAP1 localization factor 6, is a single-strand telomeric DNA-binding protein that binds single-stranded telomeric sequences of the type (TG[1-3])n in vitro. It also binds to RNA. GBP2 influences the localization of RAP1 in the nuclei and plays a role in modulating telomere length. Members in this family contain three RNA recognition motifs (RRMs), also termed RBDs (RNA binding domains) or RNPs (ribonucleoprotein domains). The model corresponds to the second RRM motif.

THOC4 is an mRNA transporter protein with a well conserved RNA recognition motif (RRM), also termed RBD (RNA binding domain) or RNP (ribonucleoprotein domain). It is involved in RNA transportation from the nucleus, and was initially identified as a transcription coactivator of LEF-1 and AML-1 for the TCRalpha enhancer function. In addition, THOC4 specifically binds to rhesus (RH) promoter in erythroid, and might be a novel transcription cofactor for erythroid-specific genes. SKAR shows high sequence homology with THOC4 and possesses one RRM as well. SKAR is widely expressed and localizes to the nucleus. It may be a critical player in the function of S6K1 in cell and organism growth control by binding the activated, hyperphosphorylated form of S6K1 but not S6K2. Furthermore, SKAR functions as a protein partner of the p50 subunit of DNA polymerase delta. In addition, SKAR may have particular importance in pancreatic beta cell size determination and insulin secretion.
