PROSITE documentation PDOC51983
CUT repeat-like (CUTL) domain profile


Description

SATB (Special AT-rich binding protein) family proteins have emerged as key regulators that integrate higher-order chromatin organization with the regulation of gene expression. SATB family chromatin organizers are involved in long-range enhancer function, extension of chromatin modifications and dynamic tethering of chromatin loops, and play diverse and important roles in regulating the dynamic equilibrium of apoptosis, cell invasion, metastasis, proliferation, angiogenesis, and immune modulation. SATB family proteins consist of an ubiquitin-like domain (ULD) (see <PDOC51982>) and a CUT repeat-like (CUTL) domain at the N terminus, a homeodomain (HD) (see <PDOC00027>) at the C terminus, and tandem CUT domains (see <PDOC51042>) in the center. The DNA binding ability of SATB1 requires the contribution of the CUTL domain, as well as the tandem CUT domains and the homeodomain [1,2].

The profile we developed covers the entire CUTL domain.
