A protein adaptor activity characterized by the capacity to selectively recognize and interact with RNA molecules in a sequence-specific manner. Entities possessing this activity typically exhibit discerning binding preferences for specific nucleotide sequences within RNA molecules, enabling the identification and engagement of distinct RNA motifs or structural elements. This function is integral to various biological processes, including RNA processing, transport, and regulatory mechanisms, contributing to the specificity and precision of cellular RNA-related activities.
