RQC

SMART ACC:SM000956
Description:This DNA-binding domain is found in the RecQ helicase among others and has a helix-turn-helix structure. The RQC domain, found only in RecQ family enzymes, is a high affinity G4 DNA binding domain (PUBMED:16530788).
InterPro ACC:IPR018982
InterPro abstract:

This entry represents the RQC domain, which is a DNA-binding domain found only in RecQ family enzymes [ PUBMED:25901030 ]. RecQ family helicases can unwind G4 DNA, and play important roles at G-rich domains of the genome, including the telomeres, rDNA, and immunoglobulin switch regions. This domain has a helix-turn-helix … expand
