Many RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) form complexes or have multiple domains that allow them to bind to RNA in a multivalent, cooperative manner. They can thereby achieve higher specificity and affinity than proteins with a single RNA-binding domain. However, current approaches to de novo discovery of RNA binding motifs do not take multivalent binding into account.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We present Bipartite Motif Finder (BMF), which is based on a thermodynamic model of RBPs with two cooperatively binding RNA-binding domains. We show that bivalent binding is a common strategy among RBPs, yielding higher affinity and sequence specificity. We furthermore illustrate that the spatial geometry between the binding sites can be learned from bound RNA sequences. These discovered bipartite motifs are consistent with previously known motifs and binding behaviors. Our results demonstrate the importance of multivalent binding for RNA-binding proteins and highlight the value of bipartite motif models in representing the multivalency of protein-RNA interactions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Availability and implementation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>BMF source code is available at https:\/\/github.com\/soedinglab\/bipartite_motif_finder under a GPL license.
