Introduction

Pfam

This is a novel knotted tudor domain which is required for binding to RNA. The know influences the loop conformation of the helical turn Ht2 - residues 61-6 3- that is located at the side opposite the knot in the tudor domain-chromodomain; stabilisation of Ht2 is essential for RNA binding [1].

This is a novel knotted tudor domain which is required for binding to RNA. The knot influences the loop conformation of the helical turn Ht2 (residues 61-63) that is located at the side opposite the knot in the tudor domain-chromo domain; stabilisation of Ht2 is essential for RNA binding [PUBMED:18407291].
