Abstract excerpt
Double-stranded RNA-binding proteins constitute a large family with conserved domains called dsRBDs. One of these, TRBP, a protein that binds HIV-1 TAR RNA, has two dsRBDs (dsRBD1 and dsRBD2), as indicated by computer sequence homology. However, a 24-amino-acid deletion in dsRBD2 completely abolishes RNA binding, suggesting that only one domain is functional. To analyse further the similarities and differences...
