CID (CTD-Interacting Domain) of SR-related and CTD-associated factor 8 SR-related and CTD-associated factor 8 (SCAF8) is also called CDC5L complex-associated protein 7 (CCAP7) or RNA-binding motif protein 16 (RBM16). It may play a role in mRNA processing. SCAF8 contains a CTD-interacting domain (CID) at the amino terminus and a Ser/Arg-rich domain followed by an RNA recognition motif. CID binds tightly to the carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase (Pol) II (RNAP II). During transcription, RNAP II synthesizes eukaryotic messenger RNA. Transcription is coupled to RNA processing through the CTD, which consists of up to 52 repeats of the sequence Tyr1-Ser2-Pro3-Thr4-Ser5-Pro6-Ser7. CID contains eight alpha-helices in a right-handed superhelical arrangement, which closely resembles that of the VHS domains and ARM (Armadillo) repeat proteins, except for its two amino-terminal helices.
