  Domain Name: CENP-B_N
CENP-B N-terminal DNA-binding domain. Centromere Protein B (CENP-B) is a DNA-binding protein localised to the centromere. Within the N-terminal 125 residues, there is a DNA-binding region, which binds to a corresponding 17bp CENP-B box sequence. CENP-B dimers either bind two separate DNA molecules or alternatively, they may bind two CENP-B boxes on one DNA molecule, with the intervening stretch of DNA forming a loop structure. The CENP-B DNA-binding domain consists of two repeating domains, RP1 and RP2. This family corresponds to RP1 has been shown to consist of four helices in a helix-turn-helix structure.

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.
