The Prosite family is restricted to DEAD/H helicases, whereas this domain family is found in a wide variety of helicases and helicase related proteins. It may be that this is not an autonomously folding unit, but an integral part of the helicase.
This domain is found in proteins involved in a variety of processes including transcription regulation (e.g., SNF2, STH1, brahma, MOT1), DNA repair (e.g., ERCC6, RAD16, RAD5), DNA recombination (e.g., RAD54), and chromatin unwinding (e.g., ISWI) as w ...
This domain is found in proteins involved in a variety of processes including transcription regulation (e.g., SNF2, STH1, brahma, MOT1), DNA repair (e.g., ERCC6, RAD16, RAD5), DNA recombination (e.g., RAD54), and chromatin unwinding (e.g., ISWI) as well as a variety of other proteins with little functional information (e.g., lodestar, ETL1)[1,2,3]. SNF2 functions as the ATPase component of the SNF2/SWI multisubunit complex, which utilises energy derived from ATP hydrolysis to disrupt histone-DNA interactions, resulting in the increased accessibility of DNA to transcription factors.
SWI/SNF complexes use the energy of ATP hydrolysis to remodel chromatin. In mammals they play a central role in regulating gene expression during differentiation and proliferation [2]. The INI1/hSNF5/SMARCB1 subunit contains and N-terminal winged hel ...

This SWIRM domain is a small alpha-helical domain of about 85 amino acid residues found in chromosomal proteins. It contains a helix-turn helix motif and binds to DNA [1].
This family includes the SWIB domain and the MDM2 domain [1]. The p53-associated protein (MDM2) is an inhibitor of the p53 tumour suppressor gene binding the transactivation domain and down regulating the ability of p53 to activate transcription. Thi ...
This family includes the SWIB domain and the MDM2 domain [1]. The p53-associated protein (MDM2) is an inhibitor of the p53 tumour suppressor gene binding the transactivation domain and down regulating the ability of p53 to activate transcription. This family contains the p53 binding domain of MDM2 [2].
