title: RNA-binding properties of hnRNP proteins.
abstract: The RNA-binding properties of the hnRNP monoparticle proteins were examined using a renaturing blotting procedure. All 'core' proteins are able to bind single-stranded nucleic acids, probably not sequence-specific. The core proteins C1 and, in one case A2 and B2, are able to bind nucleic acids which are double-stranded or which show a high degree of base-paired regions, among them U1 snRNA, whereas A1, B1 and C2 are unable to bind base-paired nucleic acids. The characteristics of C1 in binding base-paired nucleic acids are especially interesting, since the involvement of C1 in the splicing process has been described.
