GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

What's a GeneRIF?
  1. For Puf3p, FBF-2, PUF-6, and PUF-11, the upstream pockets and a cytosine are required for maximal binding to RNA, but the quantitative impact on binding affinity varies.
    Title: Divergence of Pumilio/fem-3 mRNA binding factor (PUF) protein specificity through variations in an RNA-binding pocket.
  2. PUF-5 and PUF-6 recognize similar RNA sequences, and these are distinct from those seen by members of the FBF and PUF-8/-9 groups; PUF-5/-6/-7 regulate overlapping (or identical) sets of target mRNAs.
