RNA recognition motif 2 (RRM2) found in vertebrate U2 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein B" (U2B") This subgroup corresponds to the RRM1 of U2B" (also termed U2 snRNP B"), a unique protein that comprises the U2 snRNP. It was initially identified to bind to stem-loop IV (SLIV) at the 3' end of U2 snRNA. Additional research indicates U2B" binds to U1 snRNA stem-loop II (SLII) as well and shows no preference for SLIV or SLII on the basis of binding affinity. U2B" does not require an auxiliary protein for binding to RNA and its nuclear transport is independent of U2 snRNA binding. U2B" contains two RNA recognition motifs (RRMs), also termed RBDs (RNA binding domains) or RNPs (ribonucleoprotein domains). It also contains a nuclear localization signal (NLS) in the central domain. However, nuclear import of U2B'' does not depend on this NLS. The N-terminal RRM is sufficient to direct U2B" to the nucleus.
