abstract：:Protein L7 is associated with the large subunit of eukaryotic ribosomes that can act as a co-regulator of nuclear receptor-mediated transcription. In this study we show that L7 carries in addition to the known N-terminal nucleic acid-binding domain (NBD 1) a second one (NBD 2) which maps to the 50 C-terminal amino aci...
