This domain, approximately 100 residues in length, is mainly found in splicing factor 1 from yeast to human [1]. It is a helix-hairpin domain, which forms a secondary, hydrophobic interface with U2AF65(UHM) to lock the orientation of the two subunits, which is essential for cooperative formation of the ternary SF1-U2AF65-RNA complex [2]. In this domain, it contains a highly conserved SPSP motif in its C terminal and phophorylation of SPSP motif induces a disorder-to-order transition within a novel SF1/U2AF65 interface, indicating a phosphorylation-dependent control of pre-mRNA splicing factors [3].

The RRM motif (a.k.a. RRM, RBD, or RNP domain) is probably diagnostic of an RNA binding protein. RRMs are found in a variety of RNA binding proteins, including various hnRNP proteins, proteins implicated in regulation of alternative splicing, and protein components of snRNPs. The motif also appears in a few single stranded DNA binding proteins. The RRM structure consists of four strands and two helices arranged in an alpha/beta sandwich, with a third helix present during RNA binding in some cases The C-terminal beta strand (4th strand) and final helix are hard to align and have been omitted in the SEED alignment The LA proteins (Swiss:P05455) have an N terminal rrm which is included in the seed. There is a second region towards the C terminus that has some features characteristic of a rrm but does not appear to have the important structural core of a rrm. The LA proteins (Swiss:P05455) are one of the main autoantigens in Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease.
