| Type: | Domain | Name: | SANT/Myb domain |
| Description: | The retroviral oncogene v-myb, and its cellular counterpart c-myb, encode nuclear DNA-binding proteins. In myb, one of the most conserved regions consisting of three tandem repeats has been shown to be involved in DNA-binding [].The SANT domain is present in nuclear receptor co-repressors and in the subunits of many chromatin-remodelling complexes []. It has a strong structural similarity to the DNA-binding domain of Myb-related proteins []. Both consist of tandem repeats of three alpha-helices that are arranged in a helix-turn-helix motif, each alpha helix containing a bulky aromatic residue. Despite the overall similarity there is differences that indicate that the SANT domain is functionally divergent from the canonical Myb DNA-binding domain []. | Short Name: | SANT/Myb |
