Macro domain, Poa1p_like family, SNF2 subfamily. 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 subfamily contain a C-terminal macro domain that show similarity to the yeast protein Poa1p, reported to be a phosphatase specific for Appr-1"-p, a tRNA splicing metabolite. In addition, they also contain an SNF2 domain, defined by the presence of seven motifs with sequence similarity to DNA helicases. SNF2 proteins have the capacity to use the energy released by their DNA-dependent ATPase activity to stabilize or perturb protein-DNA interactions and play important roles in transcriptional regulation, maintenance of chromosome integrity and DNA repair.
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:
