It is also required for the export and the correct cytoplasmic trafficking of the small nuclear (sn) RNA pre-U2, a component of the major spliceosome complex [1]. This entry represents the harmonin homology domain which is predicted to mediate protein-protein In human and some other mammals as well as in some fish species, this domain is found as two tandem ones, referred to as HHD1 and HHD2 (or HNL1/2) [2, 3], while in plants and arthropods it is found as a single domain. It has been shown that the HHD1 domain mediates interaction of RTEL1 with SLX4 which prevents replication-transcription collision through R-loop dissolution [2]. The HHD2 domain of RTEL1 interacts with RPA, which binds to single-stranded DNA with high affinity in a sequence-independent manner [3]. Mutations in these domain are associated with associated with Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson syndrome and pulmonary fibrosis [2].
