[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/STAU_DROME STAU_DROME] Required both for the localization of maternal determinants to the posterior pole of the egg, oskar (osk) RNA, and for correct localization to the anterior pole, anchoring bicoid (bcd) RNA. Osk protein is required to keep osk RNA and stau protein at the posterior pole. Stau-bcd complexes form particles that show a microtubule-dependent localization.<ref>PMID:1712672</ref> <ref>PMID:8001156</ref> <ref>PMID:10698941</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The double-stranded RNA binding domain (dsRBD) is an approximately 65 amino acid motif that is found in a variety of proteins that interact with double-stranded (ds) RNA, such as Escherichia coli RNase III and the dsRNA-dependent kinase, PKR. Drosophila staufen protein contains five copies of this motif, and the third of these binds dsRNA in vitro. Using multinuclear/multidimensional NMR methods, we have determined that staufen dsRBD3 forms a compact protein domain with an alpha-beta-beta-beta-alpha structure in which the two alpha-helices lie on one face of a three-stranded anti-parallel beta-sheet. This structure is very similar to that of the N-terminal domain of a prokaryotic ribosomal protein S5. Furthermore, the consensus derived from all known S5p family sequences shares several conserved residues with the dsRBD consensus sequence, indicating that the two domains share a common evolutionary origin. Using in vitro mutagenesis, we have identified several surface residues which are important for the RNA binding of the dsRBD, and these all lie on the same side of the domain. Two residues that are essential for RNA binding, F32 and K50, are also conserved in the S5 protein family, suggesting that the two domains interact with RNA in a similar way.
