Abstract excerpt
Three highly conserved aromatic residues in RNA recognition motifs (RRM) participate in stacking interactions with RNA bases upon binding RNA. We have investigated the contribution of one of these aromatic residues, Phe56, to the complex formed between the N-terminal RRM of the spliceosomal protein U1A and stem-loop 2 of U1 snRNA. Previous work showed that the aromatic group is important for high affinity...
