Unexpected flexibility in an evolutionarily conserved protein-RNA interaction: genetic analysis of the Sm binding site.
The EMBO journal - 1 Aug 1990

Abstract excerpt
Human autoantibodies of the Sm specificity recognize a conserved set of proteins found in the U class small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (U snRNPs), key trans-acting factors involved in the splicing of mRNA precursors. The Sm protein binding site in U snRNAs is unusual because of its single-stranded nature and its simple sequence motif (AU5-6GPu). Here we use genetics to probe this specific protein-RNA interaction...
