CHROMO (CHRromatin Organization Modifier) domains and chromo shadow domains Members of this group are chromodomains or chromo shadow domains; these are SH3-fold-beta-barrel domains of the chromo-like superfamily. Chromodomains lack the first strand of the SH3-fold-beta-barrel, this first strand is altered by insertion in the chromo shadow domains. The chromodomain is a conserved region of about 50 amino acids, found in a variety of chromosomal proteins, and which appears to play a role in the functional organization of the eukaryotic nucleus. The chromodomain is implicated in the binding, of the proteins in which it is found, to methylated histone tails and maybe RNA. Chromodomain-containing proteins include: i) those having an N-terminal chromodomain followed by a related chromo shadow domain, such as Drosophila and human heterochromatin protein Su(var)205 (HP1), and mammalian modifier 1 and 2; ii) those having a single chromodomain, such as Drosophila protein Polycomb (Pc), mammalian modifier 3, human Mi-2 autoantigen, and several yeast and Caenorhabditis elegans proteins of unknown function; iii) those having paired tandem chromodomains, such as mammalian DNA-binding/helicase proteins CHD-1 to CHD-4 and yeast protein CHD1; (iv) and elongation factor eEF3, a member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family of proteins, that serves an essential function in the translation cycle of fungi. eEF3 is a soluble factor lacking a transmembrane domain and having two ABC domains arranged in tandem, with a unique chromodomain inserted within the ABC2 domain. |
