Solution structure of the R3H domain from human Smubp-2
Contents |
Overview
The R3H domain is a conserved sequence motif, identified in over 100, proteins, that is thought to be involved in polynucleotide-binding, including DNA, RNA and single-stranded DNA. In this work the 3D structure, of the R3H domain from human Smubp-2 was determined by NMR spectroscopy., It is the first 3D structure determination of an R3H domain. The fold, presents a small motif, consisting of a three-stranded antiparallel, beta-sheet and two alpha-helices, which is related to the structures of, the YhhP protein and the C-terminal domain of the translational initiation, factor IF3. The similarities are non-trivial, as the amino acid identities, are below 10%. Three conserved basic residues cluster on the same face of, the R3H domain and could play a role in nucleic acid recognition. An, extended hydrophobic area at a different site of the molecular surface, could act as a protein-binding site. A strong correlation between, conservation of hydrophobic amino acids and side-chain solvent protection, indicates that the structure of the Smubp-2 R3H domain is representative, of R3H domains in general.
