RNA recognition motif (RRM) found in SR-related and CTD-associated factor 4 (SCAF4) and similar proteins The CD corresponds to the RRM of SCAF4 (also termed splicing factor, arginine/serine-rich 15 or SFR15, or CTD-binding SR-like protein RA4) that belongs to a new class of SCAFs (SR-like CTD-associated factors). Although its biological function remains unclear, SCAF4 shows high sequence similarity to SCAF8 that interacts specifically with a highly serine-phosphorylated form of the carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (pol II) and may play a direct role in coupling with both, transcription and pre-mRNA processing, processes. SCAF4 and SCAF8 both contain a conserved N-terminal CTD-interacting domain (CID), an atypical RNA recognition motif (RRM), also termed RBD (RNA binding domain) or RNP (ribonucleoprotein domain), and serine/arginine-rich motifs.
