Rel homology domain, conserved site
InterPro entry
Short name | RHD_CS |
Description
Members of the Rel family share a highly conserved 300 amino acids domain termed Rel homology domain (RHD) which is located towards the amino terminus. The unique C terminus is thought to be involved in gene activation and cytoplasmic anchoring functions.
-
* a DNA-binding domain, which binds to the consensus DNA sequence motif 5'-GGGRNNYYCC-3' (except for dorsal, which recognises the related motif 5'-GRGAAAANCC-3');
* a dimerisation domain, which is located in the C-terminal part of the RHD;
* a PKA phosphorylation site (except in RelB);
* a nuclear localization signal (NLS), which consists of a stretch of four or five basic residues.
This entry represents a conserved site located at the N terminus of the RHD. It includes a conserved cysteine that seems to be essential for DNA-binding in p50
[2].
