This domain is found C-terminal in the RNA-dependent RNA polymerases such as RDR1/2/3/4/5/6 and related proteins. This domain folds into array of alpha helices and it is known as head [1]. The head domain was proposed to interact with incoming template RNA, helping guide the RNA to the active site [1].
This domain is found in RNA-dependent RNA polymerase 2 (RDR2) from Arabidopsis thaliana and related proteins. RDR2 is involved in the production of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). It binds to single-stranded RNA (ssRNA), engages ssRNAs longer than 7 ...
This domain is found in RNA-dependent RNA polymerase 2 (RDR2) from Arabidopsis thaliana and related proteins. RDR2 is involved in the production of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). It binds to single-stranded RNA (ssRNA), engages ssRNAs longer than 7 nucleotides and initiates internal to their 3' ends [1]. RDR2 is non-functional in the absence of associated Pol IV [2]. The domain represented by this entry adopts a beta-barrel structure with significant similarity to known PH domains [1].
