Human cyclophilin 33 (hCyP33), found in 1996, consists of an RNA-binding domain in N-terminus, a cyclophilin domain in C-terminus and a connected part between the two domains. RNA-binding proteins concern functions, such as splicing, modification and transport, after transcription in eukaryotic cells. Cyclophilins (CyPs) possess enzymatic activity, namely peptidyl-proryl cis-trans isomerase (PPlase). They are involved in folding, transport and interaction of proteins. Cyclosporin A (CsA), an immunosuppressant used by organ transplantation, binds to CyPs and suppresses their enzymatic activity. However, up to now it is unknown that which cellular and physiological roles hCyP33, which possesses the above-mentioned both functions, plays. In this paper the binding specificity of hCyP33 to different cellular RNA is investigated by means of ion-exchange chromatography and affinity adsorption. The results show that it binds specifically to poly(A) tailed mRNA, namely poly(A)+RNA.
