Abstract excerpt
The yeast poly(A)-binding protein (Pab1p) contains four RNA recognition motifs (RRMs). Site-directed mutations were introduced into each of these RRMs in order to investigate their relative contributions to specific and non-specific RNA binding, and to determine the consequences of these mutations on the ability of Pab1p to support viability. Specifically, a charged and an aromatic residue that were predicted to...
