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 Cops4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- CSN4/RPN5/eIF3a helix turn helix domain
- NEDD8-specific protease
- motif in proteasome subunits, Int-6, Nip-1 and TRIP-15
- PCI domain
- peptidase
- protein binding
