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 rat Rev3l often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • DNA-directed DNA polymerase
  • DnaQ-like (or DEDD) 3'-5' exonuclease domain superfamily
  • DNA polymerase type-B family
  • seatbelt-binding motif
  • Domain of unknown function (DUF4683)
  • enzyme
  • protein binding
  • DNA polymerase family B
  • POLBc
  • C4-type zinc-finger of DNA polymerase delta
