Type: | Domain | Name: | RNA binding activity-knot of a chromodomain |
Description: | This is a novel knotted tudor domain which is required for binding to RNA. The knot influences the loop conformation of the helical turn Ht2 (residues 61-63) that is located at the side opposite the knot in the tudor domain-chromo domain; stabilisation of Ht2 is essential for RNA binding []. | Short Name: | Tudor-knot |
