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 Ccna1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • Cyclin-A N-terminal APC/C binding region
  • cyclin box
  • Cyclin box fold superfamily
  • Cyclin, N-terminal domain
  • protein binding
  • domain present in cyclins, TFIIB and Retinoblastoma
