Journal of molecular biology - 9 Jan 2004
Showalter Scott A, Hall Kathleen B
Abstract excerpt
The N-terminal RNA-binding domain (RBD1) of the human U1A protein is evolutionarily designed to bind its RNA targets with great affinity and specificity. The physical mechanisms that modulate the coupling (local cooperativity) among amino acid residues on the extensive binding surface of RBD1 are investigated here, using mutants that replace a highly conserved glycine residue. This glycine residue, at the...
