Recognition of Nascent RNA by the Human La Antigen: Conserved and Divergent Features of Structure and Function
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
La is a conserved RNA-binding phosphoprotein that interacts with a large variety of ligands. The most ubiquitous function of La is association with newly synthesized RNA polymerase (Pol) III transcripts via their common UUU-OH 39 termini and stabilization of these against exonucleolytic digestion. Accumulating evidence also indicates an activity for La in internal ribosome entry site-mediated translation in...
