PROSITE documentation PDOC51358
Nop domain profile


Description

The ~120-residue Nop domain is present in various pre-RNA processing ribonucleoproteins (RNP):

  • Eukaryotic Prp31, part of a tri-snRNP complex. It is involved in pre-mRNA splicing.
  • Eukaryotic Nucleolar proteins 56 and 58 (Nop56 and Nop58), components of box C/D small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein (snoRNP) particles.
  • Archaeal Nop5, an homolog of Nop56/Nop58.

The Nop domain is a RNP binding module, exhibiting RNA and protein binding surfaces. It is oval-shaped and exclusively α-helical (see <PDB:2OZB>) [1,2].

The profile we developed covers the entire Nop domain.
