 Rho_NRho termination factor, N-terminal domain | |
|---|---|
| SMART ACC: | SM000959 |
| Description: | The Rho termination factor disengages newly transcribed RNA from its DNA template at certain, specific transcripts. It it thought that two copies of Rho bind to RNA and that Rho functions as a hexamer of protomers (PUBMED:10230401). This domain is found to the N-terminus of the RNA binding domain. |

KEGG pathways involving proteins which contain this domain
This information is based on the mapping of SMART genomic protein database to KEGG orthologous groups. Percentages are related to the number of proteins containing a Rho_N domain which could be assigned to a KEGG orthologous group, and not all proteins containing Rho_N domains. Please note that proteins can be included in multiple pathways, ie. the numbers below will not add to 100%.
