Cytidine monophosphate-N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP Neu5Ac) hydroxylase family, N-terminal Rieske domain; The Rieske domain is a [2Fe-2S] cluster binding domain involved in electron transfer. CMP Neu5Ac hydroxylase is the key enzyme for the synthesis of N-glycolylneuraminic acid (NeuGc) from N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), NeuGc and Neu5Ac are members of a family of cell surface sugars called sialic acids. All mammals except humans have both NeuGc variants on their cell surfaces. In humans, the gene encoding CMP Neu5Ac hydroxylase has a mutation within its coding region that abolishes NeuGc production.
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. Range on the Protein: Protein ID Protein Position Domain Position:
