Type: | Domain | Name: | Nop domain |
Description: | The Nop domain is present in various pre-RNA processing ribonucleoproteins (RNP):Eukaryotic Prp31, part of a tri-snRNP complex. It is involved in pre-mRNA splicing.Eukaryotic Nucleolar proteins 56 and 58 (Nop56 and Nop58), components of box C/D small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein (snoRNP) particles.Archaeal Nop5, an homologue of Nop56/Nop58.The Nop domain is a RNP binding module, exhibiting RNA and protein binding surfaces. It is oval-shaped and exclusively alpha-helical[, ].This entry represents the Nop domain. | Short Name: | Nop_dom |
