Crystal Structure of Mouse Testis/Brain RNA-binding Protein (TB-RBP)Crystal Structure of Mouse Testis/Brain RNA-binding Protein (TB-RBP)
Structural highlights
1key is a 4 chain structure with sequence from Mus musculus. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
TSN_MOUSE DNA-binding protein that specifically recognizes consensus sequences at the breakpoint junctions in chromosomal translocations, mostly involving immunoglobulin (Ig)/T-cell receptor gene segments. Seems to recognize single-stranded DNA ends generated by staggered breaks occurring at recombination hot spots.[1] Exhibits both single-stranded and double-stranded endoribonuclease activity. May act as an activator of RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) by facilitating endonucleolytic cleavage of the siRNA passenger strand.[2]
