The D111/G-patch domain [<cite idref="PUB00005495"/>] is a short conserved region of about 40 amino acidswhich occurs in a number of putative RNA-binding proteins, including tumor suppressor and DNA-damage-repair proteins, suggesting that thisdomain may have an RNA binding function. This domainhas seven highly conserved glycines.A multiple alignment of a small subset of D111/G-patch domains is shown in Fig. 2bof [<cite idref="PUB00006159"/>]. D111/G-patch
