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 YTHDF1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • EVE and YTH domains belong to the PUA superfamily
  • protein binding activity, bridging
  • ribosome binding
  • protein binding
  • YT521-B-like domain
