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 Psme4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- histone binding
- Proteasome-substrate-size regulator, mid region
- Domain of unknown function (DUF3437)
- protein binding
- protease activator
