The review discusses differences between the specific protein interactions with single- and double-stranded RNA molecules using the data on the structure of RNA-protein complexes. Proteins interacting with the single-stranded RNAs form contacts with RNA bases, which ensures recognition of specific nucleotide sequences. Formation of such contacts with the double-stranded RNAs is hindered, so that the proteins recognize unique conformations of the RNA spatial structure and interact mainly with the RNA sugar-phosphate backbone. |
