Abstract
The RNA binding domain of ribosomal protein L11 is strikingly similar to the homeodomain class of eukaryotic DNA binding proteins: it contains three alpha-helices that superimpose with homeodomain alpha-helices, and some conserved residues required for rRNA recognition align with homeodomain helix III residues contacting DNA bases.Keywords
