Characteristics of RNA-binding proteins involved in RNA localization and discussed in this review. The general mode of RNA binding is noted, as is the ability for self-interaction (oligomerization). All of these proteins contain IDRs either at the N- and C-termini and/or interspersed between the RNA-binding domains (our unpublished observations)
