Structural models of siRNA duplex recognition by RHA. (A) Structural model of RHA full protein without C-terminal RGG motif in complex with siRNA duplex. In this model, the siRNA duplex is sandwiched between two dsRBDs in the front and D1 and D2 of RHA helicase core in the back without stereo clashes. The dsRBD domains are coloured in magenta and cyan respectively, whereas D1 and D2 are coloured in yellow and wheat, respectively. The siRNA duplex is coloured in orange. This model might represent a working model for siRNA duplex recognition and partial unwinding by the full-length RHA protein. (B) Crystal structure of A. aeolicus RNaseIII-dsRBD in complex with dsRNA (PDBID: 2EZ6).
