double-stranded RNA binding motif (DSRM) superfamily; DSRM (also known as dsRBM) is a 65-70 amino acid domain that adopts an alpha-beta-beta-beta-alpha fold. It is not sequence specific, but highly specific for double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) of various origin and structure. The DSRM domains are found in a variety of proteins including dsRNA dependent protein kinase PKR, RNA helicases, Drosophila Staufen protein, E. coli RNase III, RNase H1, and dsRNA dependent adenosine deaminases. They are involved in numerous cellular mechanisms ranging from localization and transport of messenger RNAs, through maturation and degradation of RNAs, to viral response and signal transduction. Some members harbor tandem DSRMs that act in small RNA biogenesis.

second double-stranded RNA binding motif of PRKRA, TARBP2 and similar proteins; The family includes protein activator of the interferon-induced protein kinase (PRKRA) and the RISC-loading complex subunit TARBP2. PRKRA (also known as interferon-inducible double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase activator A, PKR-associated protein X (RAX), PKR-associating protein X, protein kinase, interferon-inducible double-stranded RNA-dependent activator, PACT, or HSD14) is a cellular activator for double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase during stress signaling. TARBP2 (also called TAR RNA-binding protein 2, or trans-activation-responsive RNA-binding protein (TRBP)) participates in the formation of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). It is part of the RISC-loading complex (RLC), together with dicer1 and eif2c2/ago2, and is required to process precursor miRNAs. The family also includes Drosophila melanogaster Loquacious and similar proteins. Loquacious (Loqs) is a double-stranded RNA-binding domain (dsRBD) protein, a homolog of human TAR RNA binding protein (TRBP) that is a protein first identified as binding the HIV trans-activator RNA (TAR). Loqs interacts with Dicer1 (dmDcr1) to facilitate miRNA processing. PRKRA family proteins contain three double-stranded RNA binding motifs (DSRMs). This model describes the second motif. DSRM is not sequence specific, but highly specific for dsRNAs of various origin and structure.

double-stranded RNA binding motif of ribonuclease III (RNase III) and similar proteins; RNase III (EC 3.1.26.3; also known as ribonuclease 3) digests double-stranded RNA formed within single-strand substrates, but not RNA-DNA hybrids. It is involved in the processing of rRNA precursors, viral transcripts, some mRNAs, and at least 1 tRNA (metY, a minor form of tRNA-init-Met). It cleaves the 30S primary rRNA transcript to yield the immediate precursors to the 16S and 23S rRNAs. The cleavage can occur in assembled 30S, 50S, and even 70S subunits and is influenced by the presence of ribosomal proteins. The RNase III family also includes the mitochondrion-specific ribosomal protein mL44 subfamily, which is composed of mitochondrial 54S ribosomal protein L3 (MRPL3) and mitochondrial 39S ribosomal protein L44 (MRPL44). Members of this family contain an RNase III domain and a C-terminal double-stranded RNA binding motif (DSRM). DSRM is not sequence specific, but highly specific for dsRNAs of various origin and structure.

ribonuclease III, bacterial; This family consists of bacterial examples of ribonuclease III. This enzyme cleaves double-stranded rRNA. It is involved in processing ribosomal RNA precursors. It is found even in minimal genones such as Mycoplasma genitalium and Buchnera aphidicola, and in some cases has been shown to be an essential gene. These bacterial proteins contain a double-stranded RNA binding motif (pfam00035) and a ribonuclease III domain (pfam00636). Eukaryotic homologs tend to be much longer proteins with additional domains, localized to the nucleus, and not included in this family. [Transcription, RNA processing]

STRBP is a double-stranded DNA and RNA binding protein that is involved in spermatogenesis and sperm function. It plays a role in regulation of cell growth. ILF3 (also known as double-stranded RNA-binding protein 76 (DRBP76), M-phase phosphoprotein 4 (MPP4), nuclear factor associated with dsRNA (NFAR), nuclear factor of activated T-cells 90 kDa (NF-AT-90), or translational control protein 80 (TCP80)) is an RNA-binding protein that plays an essential role in the biogenesis of circular RNAs (circRNAs) which are produced by back-splicing circularization of pre-mRNAs. RED1 (EC 3.5.4.37; also called double-stranded RNA-specific editase 1, RNA-editing enzyme 1, dsRNA adenosine deaminase, ADARB1, ADAR2, or DRADA2) catalyzes the hydrolytic deamination of adenosine to inosine in double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), referred to as A-to-I RNA editing. RED2 (also called double-stranded RNA-specific editase B2, RNA-dependent adenosine deaminase 3, RNA-editing enzyme 2, dsRNA adenosine deaminase B2, ADAR3, or ADARB2) prevents the binding of other ADAR enzymes to targets in vitro, and decreases the efficiency of these enzymes. It is capable of binding to dsRNA, but also to ssRNA. RED2 lacks editing activity for currently known substrate RNAs. Members of this group contain two double-stranded RNA binding motifs (DSRMs).

double-stranded RNA binding motif of metazoan ribonuclease III (RNase III) and similar proteins; RNase III (EC 3.1.26.3; also known as Drosha, or ribonuclease 3) is a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-specific endoribonuclease that is involved in the initial step of microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis. It is a component of the microprocessor complex that is required to process primary miRNA transcripts (pri-miRNAs) to release precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA) in the nucleus. Within the microprocessor complex, RNase III cleaves the 3' and 5' strands of a stem-loop in pri-miRNAs (processing center 11 bp from the dsRNA-ssRNA junction) to release hairpin-shaped pre-miRNAs that are subsequently cut by the cytoplasmic DICER to generate mature miRNAs. It is also involved in pre-rRNA processing. Metazoan RNase III is a larger protein than bacterial RNase III. It contains two RNase III domains in the C-terminal half of the protein followed by a double-stranded RNA binding motif (DSRM). DSRM is not sequence specific, but highly specific for dsRNAs of various origin and structure.

DSRM is not sequence specific, but highly specific for dsRNAs of various origin and structure.

EIF2AK2 proteins contain two to three double-stranded RNA binding motifs (DSRMs). This model describes the first motif. DSRM is not sequence specific, but highly specific for dsRNAs of various origin and structure.

third double-stranded RNA binding motif of PRKRA, TARBP2 and similar proteins; The family includes protein activator of the interferon-induced protein kinase (PRKRA) and the RISC-loading complex subunit TARBP2. PRKRA (also known as interferon-inducible double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase activator A, PKR-associated protein X (RAX), PKR-associating protein X, protein kinase, interferon-inducible double-stranded RNA-dependent activator, PACT, or HSD14) is a cellular activator for double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase during stress signaling. TARBP2 (also called TAR RNA-binding protein 2, or trans-activation-responsive RNA-binding protein (TRBP)) participates in the formation of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). It is part of the RISC-loading complex (RLC), together with dicer1 and eif2c2/ago2, and is required to process precursor miRNAs. The family also includes Drosophila melanogaster Loquacious and similar proteins. Loquacious (Loqs) is a double-stranded RNA-binding domain (dsRBD) protein, a homolog of human TAR RNA binding protein (TRBP) that is a protein first identified as binding the HIV trans-activator RNA (TAR). Loqs interacts with Dicer1 (dmDcr1) to facilitate miRNA processing. PRKRA family proteins contain three double-stranded RNA binding motifs (DSRMs). This model describes the third motif. DSRM is not sequence specific, but highly specific for dsRNAs of various origin and structure.

double-stranded RNA binding motif of adenosine deaminase domain-containing protein 1 (ADAD1) and similar proteins; ADAD1 (also known as testis nuclear RNA-binding protein (TENR)) is phylogenetically related to a family of adenosine deaminases involved in RNA editing. It plays an essential function in spermatid morphogenesis. It may be involved in testis-specific nuclear post-transcriptional processes such as heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA) packaging, alternative splicing, or nuclear/cytoplasmic transport of mRNAs. ADAD1 contains a double-stranded RNA binding motif (DSRM) and a C-terminal adenosine-deaminase (editase) domain. DSRM is not sequence specific, but highly specific for dsRNAs of various origin and structure.
