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 SMG5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • conserved domain
  • ubiquitin protein ligase binding
  • Telomerase activating protein Est1
  • protein phosphatase binding
  • Large family of predicted nucleotide-binding domains
  • histone deacetylase binding
  • protein binding
  • PIN (PilT N terminus) domain: Superfamily
  • telomeric DNA binding
  • RNA binding
