RNA recognition motif 2 (RRM2) found in heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein D0 (hnRNP D0) and similar proteins
This subgroup corresponds to the RRM2 of hnRNP D0, also termed AU-rich element RNA-binding protein 1, a UUAG-specific nuclear RNA binding protein that may be involved in pre-mRNA splicing and telomere elongation. hnRNP D0 contains two RNA recognition motifs (RRMs), also termed RBDs (RNA binding domains) or RNPs (ribonucleoprotein domains), in the middle and an RGG box rich in glycine and arginine residues in the C-terminal part. Each of RRMs can bind solely to the UUAG sequence specifically.
