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 TACO1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- rRNA binding
- mRNA binding
- Transcriptional regulator
- ribosome binding
- protein binding
- YebC/PmpR family DNA-binding transcriptional regulator
