Staufen1 dimerizes via a conserved motif and a degenerate dsRNA-binding domain to promote mRNA decay

Staufen (STAU)1-mediated mRNA decay (SMD) degrades mammalian-cell mRNAs that bind the double-stranded (ds)RNA-binding protein STAU1 in their 3′-untranslated region. We report a new motif, which typifies STAU homologs from all vertebrate classes, that is responsible for human (h)STAU1 homodimerizatio...
