The crystal structure and mutational analysis of a novel RNA-binding domain found in the human Tap nuclear mRNA export factor.

abstract：:An open question remains as to what coordinates cell behavior during organogenesis, permitting organs to reach their appropriate size and shape. The Arabidopsis gene STRUBBELIG (SUB) defines a receptor-mediated signaling pathway in plants. SUB encodes a putative leucine-rich repeat transmembrane receptor-like kinase. ...
