type II K-homology (KH) RNA-binding domain found in archaeal 30S ribosomal protein S3 and similar proteins
30S ribosomal protein S3, also called small ribosomal subunit protein uS3, is part of the head region of the 30S ribosomal subunit and binds to the lower part of the 30S subunit head. It is believed to interact with mRNA as it threads its way from the latch into the channel. Members of this family are mainly from archaea and contain only one canonical type II K-homology (KH) domain that has the signature motif GXXG (where X represents any amino acid).
