Hu antigen C (HuC) has three RNA-binding domains (RBDs). The N-terminal two, RBD1 and RBD2, are linked in tandem and bind to the AU-rich elements (AREs) in the 3'-untranslated region of particular mRNAs. The solution structures of HuC RBD1 and RBD2 were determined by NMR methods. The HuC RBD1 and RBD2 structures are quite similar to those of Sxl RBD1 and RBD2, respectively. The individual RBDs ...
