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 Polr2j 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 RNA polymerase
- RNA polymerase Rpb3/Rpb11 dimerization domain
- LRR-domain binding
- enzyme
- protein binding
- RPB11 and RPB3 subunits of RNA polymerase
