1RGO - PubMed Abstract: 
The tandem zinc finger (TZF) domain of the protein TIS11d binds to the class II AU-rich element (ARE) in the 3' untranslated region (3' UTR) of target mRNAs and promotes their deadenylation and degradation. The NMR structure of the TIS11d TZF domain bound to the RNA sequence 5'-UUAUUUAUU-3' comprises a pair of novel CCCH fingers of type CX(8)CX(5)CX(3)H separated by an 18-residue linker ...
