Adenylate/uridylate-rich elements (AREs), which are found in the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of many mRNAs, influence the stability of cytoplasmic mRNA. HuR (human antigen R) binds to AREs and regulates various genes. In order to reveal the RNA-recognition mechanism of HuR protein, an RNA-binding region of human HuR containing two N-terminal RNA-recognition motif domains bound to an 11-base RNA fragment has been crystallized. The crystals belonged to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 42.4, b = 44.9, c = 91.1 A. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 1.8 A resolution.
富含腺苷酸/尿苷酸元件(AREs)存在于许多mRNA的3'非翻译区(UTR)中,影响细胞质mRNA的稳定性。HuR(人类抗原R)与AREs结合并调控多种基因。为了揭示HuR蛋白的RNA识别机制,包含两个N端RNA识别基序结构域的人类HuR的一个RNA结合区域已与一个11碱基的RNA片段结合并结晶。晶体属于空间群P2(1)2(1)2(1),晶胞参数a = 42.4,b = 44.9,c = 91.1 Å。X射线衍射数据收集至1.8 Å分辨率。
