  Domain Name: Macro_H2A_like
Macro domain, Macro_H2A_like family. The macro domain is a high-affinity ADP-ribose binding module found in a variety of proteins as a stand-alone domain or in combination with other domains like in histone macroH2A and some PARPs (poly ADP-ribose polymerases). Some macro domains recognize poly ADP-ribose as a ligand. Previously identified as displaying an Appr-1"-p (ADP-ribose-1"-monophosphate) processing activity, the macro domain may play roles in distinct ADP-ribose pathways, such as the ADP-ribosylation of proteins, an important post-translational modification which occurs in DNA repair, transcription, chromatin biology, and long-term memory formation, among other processes. Members of this family are similar to macroH2A, a variant of the major-type core histone H2A, which contains an N-terminal H2A domain and a C-terminal nonhistone macro domain. Histone macroH2A is enriched on the inactive X chromosome of mammalian female cells. It does not bind poly ADP-ribose, but does bind the monomeric SirT1 metabolite O-acetyl-ADP-ribose (OAADPR) with high affinity through its macro domain. In addition, the macro domain of macroH2A associates with histone deacetylases and affects the acetylation status of nucleosomes. MacroH2A-containing nucleosomes are repressive toward transcription.
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.

Tips:
 If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position.

 The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs.

 Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below.
