Protein Domain : Exuperantia, SAM-like domain

Primary Identifier  IPR040941 Type  Domain
Short Name  SAM_Exu
description  Exuperantia (Exu) is associated with localization of bicoid (bcd) mRNA and required for its localization at the anterior pole of the oocyte. Crystal structure of Exu reveals a dimeric assembly with each monomer consisting of a 3'-5' EXO-like domain and a sterile alpha motif (SAM)-like domain. The SAM-like domain interacts with its target RNA as a homodimer and is required for RNA binding activity [].
