RTC4

RTC4

RTC4-like domain
SMART ACC:SM001312
Description:This presumed domain is found in the RTC4 protein from yeasts. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Cdc13 binds telomeric DNA to recruit telomerase and to "cap" chromosome ends. RTC4 was identified in a screen to identify novel proteins and pathways that cap telomeres, or that respond to uncapped telomeres PMID:18845848. This domain is also found in proteins that contain a DNA-binding myb domain.
InterPro ACC:IPR028094
InterPro abstract:

This entry represents the C-terminal domain of the RTC4 (restriction of telomere capping protein 4) protein from yeasts. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, deletion of RTC4 affects the cell response to telomere uncapping [ PUBMED:18845848 ]. This domain is also found in proteins that contain a DNA-binding myb domain.
