first type I K homology (KH) RNA-binding domain found in Schizosaccharomyces pombe RNA-binding protein Rnc1 and similar proteins; Rnc1, also called RNA-binding protein that suppresses calcineurin deletion 1, is an RNA-binding protein that acts as an important regulator of the posttranscriptional expression of the MAPK phosphatase Pmp1 in fission yeast. It binds and stabilizes pmp1 mRNA and hence acts as a negative regulator of pmk1 signaling. Overexpression of Rnc1 suppresses the Cl(-) sensitivity of calcineurin deletion. The nuclear export of Rnc1 requires mRNA-binding ability and the mRNA export factor Rae1. Rnc1 contains three K-homology (KH) RNA-binding domains. The model corresponds to the first one.

second type I K homology (KH) RNA-binding domain found in heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNP K) and similar proteins; hnRNP K, also called transformation up-regulated nuclear protein (TUNP), is a pre-mRNA binding protein that binds tenaciously to poly(C) sequences. It may be involved in the nuclear metabolism of hnRNAs, particularly for pre-mRNAs that contain cytidine-rich sequences. It can also bind poly(C) single-stranded DNA. hnRNP K plays an important role in p53/TP53 response to DNA damage, acting at the level of both transcription activation and repression. hnRNP K contains three K-homology (KH) RNA-binding domains. The model corresponds to the second one.

second type I K homology (KH) RNA-binding domain found in Arabidopsis thaliana RNA-binding KH domain-containing protein PEPPER and similar proteins; The family includes a group of plant RNA-binding KH domain-containing proteins, such as PEPPER, flowering locus K homology domain protein (FLK), RNA-binding KH domain-containing protein RCF3 and KH domain-containing protein HEN4. PEPPER regulates vegetative and gynoecium development. It acts as a positive regulator of the central floral repressor FLOWERING LOCUS C. In concert with HUA2, PEPPER antagonizes FLK by positively regulating FLC probably at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels, and thus acts as a negative regulator of flowering. FLK, also called flowering locus KH domain protein, regulates positively flowering by repressing FLC expression and post-transcriptional modification. PEPPER and FLK contain three K-homology (KH) RNA-binding domains. RCF3, also called protein ENHANCED STRESS RESPONSE 1 (ESR1), or protein HIGH OSMOTIC STRESS GENE EXPRESSION 5 (HOS5), or protein REGULATOR OF CBF GENE EXPRESSION 3, or protein SHINY 1 (SHI1), acts as negative regulator of osmotic stress-induced gene expression. It is involved in the regulation of thermotolerance responses under heat stress. It functions as an upstream regulator of heat stress transcription factor (HSF) genes. HEN4, also called protein HUA ENHANCER 4, plays a role in floral reproductive organ identity in the third whorl and floral determinacy specification by specifically promoting the processing of AGAMOUS (AG) pre-mRNA. It functions in association with HUA1 and HUA2. RCF3 and HEN4 contain five KH RNA-binding domains. The model corresponds to the KH2 domain of PEPPER and FLK, as well as KH2 and KH4 domains of RCF3 and HEN4.

second type I K homology (KH) RNA-binding domain found in the family of neuro-oncological ventral antigen (Nova); The family includes two related neuronal RNA-binding proteins, Nova-1 and Nova-2. Nova-1, also called onconeural ventral antigen 1, or paraneoplastic Ri antigen, or ventral neuron-specific protein 1, may regulate RNA splicing or metabolism in a specific subset of developing neurons. It interacts with RNA containing repeats of the YCAY sequence. It is a brain-enriched splicing factor regulating neuronal alternative splicing. Nova-1 is involved in neurological disorders and carcinogenesis. Nova-2, also called astrocytic NOVA1-like RNA-binding protein, is a neuronal RNA-binding protein expressed in a broader central nervous system (CNS) distribution than Nova-1. It functions in neuronal RNA metabolism. NOVA family proteins contain three K-homology (KH) RNA-binding domains. The model corresponds to the second one.

They function by binding to the 5' UTR of the insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) mRNA and regulating IGF2 translation. IGF2BP proteins contain four K-homology (KH) RNA-binding domains which are important in RNA binding and are known to be involved in RNA synthesis and metabolism. The model corresponds to the first one.

first type I K homology (KH) RNA-binding domain found in poly(rC)-binding protein 1 (PCBP1) and similar proteins; The family includes PCBP1 (also called alpha-CP1, or heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein E1, or hnRNP E1, or nucleic acid-binding protein SUB2.3) and PCBP2 (also called alpha-CP2, or heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein E2, or hnRNP E2). They are single-stranded nucleic acid binding proteins that bind preferentially to oligo dC. They act as iron chaperones for ferritin. In case of infection by poliovirus, PCBP1 plays a role in initiation of viral RNA replication in concert with the viral protein 3CD. PCBP2 is a major cellular poly(rC)-binding protein. It also binds poly(rU). PCBP2 negatively regulates cellular antiviral responses mediated by MAVS signaling. It acts as an adapter between MAVS and the E3 ubiquitin ligase ITCH, therefore triggering MAVS ubiquitination and degradation. PCBP2 forms a metabolon with the heme oxygenase 1/cytochrome P450 reductase complex for heme catabolism and iron transfer. Both PCBP1 and PCBP2 contain three K-homology (KH) RNA-binding domains. The model corresponds to the first one.

sixth type I K homology (KH) RNA-binding domain found in vigilin and similar proteins; Vigilin, also called high density lipoprotein-binding protein, or HDL-binding protein, is a ubiquitous and highly conserved RNA-binding protein that shuttles between nucleus and cytoplasm presumably in contact with RNA molecules. It may be involved in chromosome partitioning at mitosis, facilitating translation and tRNA transport, and control of mRNA metabolism, including estrogen-mediated stabilization of vitellogenin mRNA. Vigilin is up-regulated by cholesterol loading of cells and functions to protect cells from over-accumulation of cholesterol. It may play a role in cell sterol metabolism. Disruption of human vigilin impairs chromosome condensation and segregation. Vigilin has a unique structure of 14-15 consecutively arranged, but non-identical K-homology (KH) domains which apparently mediate RNA-protein binding. The model corresponds to the sixth one.

first type I K homology (KH) RNA-binding domain found in the FUBP family RNA/DNA-binding proteins; The far upstream element-binding protein (FUBP) family includes FUBP1-3. FUBP1, also called FBP, or FUSE-binding protein 1, or DNA helicase V, or DH V, binds RNA and single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and may act both as activator and repressor of transcription. It regulates MYC expression by binding to a single-stranded far-upstream element (FUSE) upstream of the MYC promoter. FUBP2, also called FUSE-binding protein 2, or KH type-splicing regulatory protein (KSRP), or p75, is a single-strand nucleic acid binding protein implicated in a variety of cellular processes, including splicing in the nucleus, mRNA decay, maturation of miRNA, and transcriptional control of proto-oncogenes such as c-myc. It regulates the stability and/or translatability of many mRNA species, encoding immune-relevant proteins, either by binding to AU-rich elements (AREs) of mRNA 3'UTR or by facilitating miRNA biogenesis to target mRNA. FUBP3, also called FUSE-binding protein 3, or MARTA2, was previously shown to mediate dendritic targeting of MAP2 mRNA in neurons. It may interact with single-stranded DNA from the far-upstream element (FUSE) and activate gene expression. It is required for beta-actin mRNA localization. It also interacts with fibroblast growth factor 9 (FGF9) 3'-UTR UG repeats and positively controls FGF9 expression through increasing translation of FGF9 mRNA. FUBP proteins contain four K-homology (KH) RNA-binding domains. The model corresponds to the first one.
