IPR003309

Description

IPR003309 is a SCAN domain.

<p>A number of C2H2-zinc finger proteins contain a highly conserved N-terminal motif termed the SCAN (named after SRE-ZBP, CTfin51, AW-1 and Number 18 cDNA) domain. The SCAN domain has been shown to be able to mediate homo- and hetero-oligomerisation [[cite:PUB00008090]]. These proteins can either activate or repress transcription, although isolated recombinant SCAN domains do not modulate significantly the transcription [[cite:PUB00018272], [cite:PUB00018273]]. In addition to these zinc finger transcription factors, an isolated SCAN domain without adjacent zinc finger motifs has been identified in some proteins [[cite:PUB00018274], [cite:PUB00018275]]. It has been noted that the SCAN domain resembles a domain-swapped version of the C-terminal domain of the HIV capsid protein [[cite:PUB00032595]].</p> <p>The SCAN domain is enriched in hydrophobic and negatively charged residues with a L-X(6)-L motif at its core. This core is flanked by A, E, L, M, H and C residues that are frequently found in α-helices [[cite:PUB00018273]]. Predictions of the secondary structure of the domain suggest the presence of at least three α-helices that are separated from one another by short looped regions bounded by proline residues [[cite:PUB00008090]]. It has been shown to be a selective oligomerization domain that mediates homotypic and heterotypic interactions between SCAN box containing proteins [[cite:PUB00018275], [cite:PUB00008090]].</p>

Associated GO terms

GO predictions are based solely on the InterPro-to-GO mappings published by EMBL-EBI, which are in turn based on the mapping of predicted domains to the InterPro dataset. The InterPro-to-GO mapping was last updated on , while the GO metadata was last updated on .

GO term Namespace Name Definition Relationships
Molecular function DNA-binding transcription factor activity A protein or a member of a complex that interacts selectively and non-covalently with a specific DNA sequence (sometimes referred to as a motif) within the regulatory region of a gene to modulate transcription. Regulatory regions include promoters (proximal and distal) and enhancers. Genes are transcriptional units, and include bacterial operons.
Biological process Regulation of transcription, DNA-templated Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cellular DNA-templated transcription.
