title: Cloning and characterization of a novel human STAR domain containing cDNA KHDRBS2.
abstract: KHDRBS2, KH domain containing, RNA binding, signal transduction associated 2, is an RNA-binding protein that is tyrosine phosphorylated by Src during mitosis. It contains a KH domain,which is embedded in a larger conserved domain called the STAR domain. This protein has a 99% sequence identity with rat SLM-1 (the Sam68-like mammalian protein 1) and 98% sequence identity with mouse SLM-1 in its STAR domain. KHDRBS2 has the characteristic Sam68 SH2 and SH3 domain binding sites. RT-PCR analysis showed its transcript is ubiquitously expressed. The characterization of KHDRBS2 indicates it may link tyrosine kinase signaling cascades with some aspect of RNA metabolism.
