The K-homology domain (KH domain) folding is similar to other RBPs domains, which play an important role in RNA binding and protein-protein interactions. | The K-homology domain (KH domain) folding is similar to other RBPs domains, which play an important role in RNA binding and protein-protein interactions. | ||
Here it is the KH0 MOTIF highlighted in red. Many RNA-binding proteins contain the KH motif, a conserved RNA-binding domain, but different from the KH1 and KH2 motifs, which contain a GXXG canonical motif, that will be explained in further details in the next topic, instead this one has an A-K-E-A. It is most likely involved in RNA binding and regulation, as seen in other proteins that also contain KH motifs. To give a more thorough response addressing the precise role played by the KH theme in FMRP, additional details would be needed.

Overall, the FMRP NTD plays an important role as an RNA-binding protein, and its involvement in RNP complexes and its specific domains and motifs allow it to bind to specific RNAs and regulate their translation. <ref>MYRICK, L.
