RNA binding domains in hnRNPs. RNA-binding domains in hnRNP include RRM (RNA Recognition Motif), KH (K-Homology), and RGG (Arginine-Glycine-Glycine). hnRNPA1 UP1, which spans the first 196 aa at the N-terminus, contains two RRM one in each subdomain of UP1. a RRM contains two α-helices (RRM1: cyan, RRM2: pink), four β-sheets (RRM1: blue, RRM2: purple), and five loops (RRM1: green, RRM2: orange) that order as βαββαβ. b The C-terminal of hnRNPA1 contains another RNA-binding motif known as RGG. The name reflects the abundance of Arg-Gly-Gly tripeptide repeats in the motif. c The KH domain of hnRNPK consists of three α-helices (cyan), three β-sheets (green), and five loops (purple) that fold in the order of βααββα [7–11]
