Description
The BEN domain is found in diverse animal proteins such as BANP/SMAR1, NAC1 and the Drosophila mod(mdg4) isoform C, in the chordopoxvirus virosomal protein E5R and in several proteins of polydnaviruses. Computational analysis suggests that the BEN domain mediates protein-DNA and protein-protein interactions during chromatin organisation and transcription
[2]. The BEN domain-containing protein 3 (BEND3) is shown to interact (via BEN domains 1 and 3) with ERCC6L (via N-terminal TPR repeat and SNF2 HeliC region of ERCC6L) which stimulates the ERCC6L translocase and ATPase activities
[1].
