  Domain Name: Egl_like_exo
DEDDy 3'-5' exonuclease domain of Drosophila Egalitarian (Egl) and similar proteins. The Egalitarian (Egl) protein subfamily is composed of Drosophila Egl and similar proteins. Egl is a component of an mRNA-binding complex which is required for oocyte specification. Egl contains a DEDDy-type DnaQ-like 3'-5' exonuclease domain possessing three conserved sequence motifs termed ExoI, ExoII and ExoIII, with a specific YX(3)D pattern at ExoIII. The motifs are clustered around the active site and contain four conserved acidic residues that serve as ligands for the two metal ions required for catalysis. The conservation of this subfamily throughout eukaryotes suggests that its members may be part of ancient RNA processing complexes that are likely to participate in the regulated processing of specific mRNAs. Some members of this subfamily do not have a completely conserved YX(3)D pattern at the ExoIII motif.
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.
