RGG/RG Motif Regions in RNA Binding and Phase Separation

Chong, P. Andrew, Vernon, Robert M., Forman-Kay, Julie D.·2018·Journal of Molecular Biology

Abstract

RGG/RG motifs are RNA binding segments found in many proteins that can partition into membraneless organelles. They occur in the context of low-complexity disordered regions and often in multiple copies. Although short RGG/RG-containing regions can sometimes form high-affinity interactions with RNA structures, multiple RGG/RG repeats are generally required for high-affinity binding, suggestive of the dynamic, multivalent interactions that are thought to underlie phase separation in formation of cellular membraneless organelles. Arginine can interact with nucleotide bases via hydrogen bonding and π-stacking; thus, nucleotide conformers that provide access to the bases provide enhanced opportunities for RGG interactions. Methylation of RGG/RG regions, which is accomplished by protein arginine methyltransferase enzymes, occurs to different degrees in different cell types and may regulate the behavior of proteins containing these regions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
