- Abstract
Presents research which described the crystal structure of the complex of two RNA-binding domains of the Sex-lethal (Sxl) protein and a single-stranded RNA derived from the tra polypyrimidine tract. Genetic requirements of the Sxl protein of Drosophila melanogaster; Traits of the RNA; Recognition of the UGUUUUUUU sequence; Protein binding to a cognate RNA without any intramolecular base-pairing.
