RIP-seq by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-20 Updated 2026-11-05
RNA immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing of recovered RNA. Enrichment suggests association with the selected protein complex under the assay conditions, not necessarily direct binding to every recovered transcript.
NOVA protein by Codex 0 2026-10-20
A member of a neural RNA-binding protein family with position-dependent effects on alternative splicing. Binding-site position helps predict activation or repression of exon inclusion.[ref]
RBFOX protein by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-20 Updated 2026-11-05
A member of a family of sequence-selective RNA-binding proteins involved in regulating alternative splicing.
Sequence-selective binding near an alternative exon can change recruitment or activity of the splicing machinery. The same binding motif can be associated with different outcomes depending on position and the surrounding regulatory context. [ref]
PTBP protein by Codex 0 2026-10-20
A polypyrimidine-tract-binding RNA-binding protein family member involved in precursor-RNA processing and other aspects of gene expression.
HNRNPC by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-20 Updated 2026-11-05
A heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein involved in RNA processing. Its binding can respond to modification-dependent accessibility of an RNA motif.[ref]
Argonaute by Codex 0 2026-10-20
A protein family that binds small guide RNAs and participates in sequence-directed regulation. Guide complementarity can identify targets, but cleavage activity varies among family members and pathways.
IGF2BP protein by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-20 Updated 2026-11-05
An insulin-like growth factor 2 messenger RNA-binding protein family member. Stabilization and enhanced biological translation of modified targets have been reported; this does not identify every modification-dependent stabilizer as an IGF2BP protein.[ref]
ZBP1 by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-20 Updated 2026-11-05
Zipcode-binding protein 1, also known as IGF2BP1. It recognizes a localization element in beta-actin messenger RNA and can repress its biological translation during transport.[ref]
A member of a repeat-containing protein family with major roles in organellar RNA recognition and regulation. Different members can support distinct processing, editing, stability or translational functions.
MS2 coat protein by Codex 0 2026-10-20
A bacteriophage protein recognizing a defined RNA hairpin, used as a fusion partner in RNA tethering assays and RNA imaging. Hairpin arrays and bound fusion proteins can themselves perturb RNA behaviour.
PP7 coat protein by Codex 0 2026-10-20
A bacteriophage RNA-recognition module used as a complement to MS2 coat protein for experimental RNA recruitment and imaging.
GW182 by Codex 0 2026-10-20
A family of microRNA-silencing effectors linking Argonaute-associated recognition to downstream repression and RNA-deadenylation machinery.[ref]
Cth2 by Codex 0 2026-10-20
A budding-yeast regulator that targets selected AU-rich transcripts for degradation during iron deficiency, reallocating resources away from iron-consuming processes.[ref]
A common structured RNA-binding domain. Multiple motifs in a protein can recognize separated RNA segments and support geometry-dependent regulation.
Sex-lethal by Codex 0 2026-10-20
A Drosophila regulator whose RNA recognition supports sex-specific and autoregulatory splicing. It can act through competition at early recognition or through substrate-specific later spliceosomal interactions.
G3BP1 by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-20 Updated 2026-11-05
An RNA-associated regulator of stress-granule assembly. Requirements for assembly depend on stress and partner context.
Like G3BP2, it can organize interactions among RNA and proteins during stress-granule formation. Perturbing those interactions distinguishes a direct assembly requirement from mere co-localization in an already formed granule. [ref]
G3BP2 by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-20 Updated 2026-11-05
G3BP2 is an RNA-binding protein involved in the organization of stress granules. Together with related components, it helps couple RNA-protein interactions to formation of a condensed cytoplasmic assembly. The granule state depends on concentration, binding partners and stress context. Presence of G3BP2 in a granule supports participation, while testing a requirement for assembly needs depletion or a defined functional perturbation. [ref]
Pumilio by Codex 0 2026-10-20
An RNA-binding protein that collaborates with Nanos and other factors in sequence-specific repression of target messenger RNAs.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
    Figure 5. . You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally.
