Type: | Domain | Name: | RED-like, N-terminal |
Description: | This domain contains sequences that are similar to the N-terminal region of Red protein (). This and related proteins contain a RED repeat which consists of a number of RE and RD sequence elements []. The region in question has several conserved NLS sequences and a putative trimeric coiled-coil region [], suggesting that these proteins are expressed in the nucleus []. The function of Red protein is unknown, but efficient sequestration to nuclear bodies suggests that its expression may be tightly regulated, or that the protein self-aggregates extremely efficiently []. | Short Name: | RED_N |
