This domain is found in PR domain zinc protein 2 from humans (PRDM2) and similar proteins from animals. PRDM2 is a histone methyltransferase that functions as a DNA-binding transcription factor. It contains a PR (PRDI-BF1 and RIZ1 homology) domain, which is a distinct SET domain, that is responsible for its catalytic activity (this entry). This domain displays a typical SET fold consisting mainly of short beta-strands and intervening loops including a pseudo-knot at the C terminus [1].
This family includes both Yippee-type proteins and Mis18 kinetochore proteins. Yippee are putative zinc-binding/DNA-binding proteins. Mis18 are proteins involved in the priming of centromeres for recruiting CENP-A. Mis18-alpha and beta form part of ...
This family includes both Yippee-type proteins and Mis18 kinetochore proteins. Yippee are putative zinc-binding/DNA-binding proteins. Mis18 are proteins involved in the priming of centromeres for recruiting CENP-A. Mis18-alpha and beta form part of a small complex with Mis18-binding protein. Mis18-alpha is found to interact with DNA de-methylases through a Leu-rich region located at its carboxyl terminus [5]. This entry also includes the CULT domain proteins such as Cereblon [6].
