Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human WDR59 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- WD40 repeats
- RING/Ubox like zinc-binding domain
- RING finger (Really Interesting New Gene) domain and U-box domain superfamily
- WD domain, G-beta repeat
- RWD domain
- protein binding
