Human antigen R (HuR) is a 32 kDa protein with 3 RNA Recognition Motifs (RRMs), which bind to Adenylate and uridylate Rich Elements (AREs) of mRNAs. Whereas the N-terminal and central domains (RRM1 and RRM2) are essential for AREs recognition, little is known on the C-terminal RRM3 beyond its implication in HuR oligomerization and apoptotic...

The coordination of enzymes and regulatory proteins for eukaryotic DNA replication and repair is largely achieved by Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA), a toroidal homotrimeric protein that embraces the DNA duplex. Many proteins bind PCNA through a conserved sequence known as the PCNA interacting protein motif (PIP). PCNA is further...
