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 Cnot8 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- 3'-5' exoribonuclease
- transcription regulator
- poly(A)-specific ribonuclease
- CAF1 family ribonuclease
