EDEN-BP (embryo deadenylation element-binding protein) binds specifically to the EDEN motif in the 3'-untranslated regions of maternal mRNAs and targets these mRNAs for deadenylation and translational repression in Xenopus laevis embryos. EDEN-BP contains three RNA recognition motifs (RRMs) and is related to the elav family of RNA-binding proteins. In the present study we show that the two N-terminal RRMs of EDEN-BP are necessary for the interaction with EDEN as well as a part of the linker region (between RRM2 and RRM3). Using a band shift assay we show that two different complexes are formed according to the size and, therefore, the functional nature of the EDEN motif. Finally, we show that EDEN-BP can form a dimer in a two-hybrid assay. Accordingly, we suggest that the functional configuration of EDEN-BP is a dimer.
