Drosophila Smaug and its orthologs comprise a family of mRNA repressor proteins
that exhibit various functions during animal development. Smaug proteins contain a
characteristic RNA-binding sterile-a motif (SAM) domain and a conserved but
uncharacterized N-terminal domain (NTD). Here, we resolved the crystal structure of
the NTD of the human SAM domain-containing protein 4A (SAMD4A, a.k.a. Smaug1)
to 2.0 Å resolution, which revealed its composi...
