PCIdomaincontaining

PCIdomaincontaining is a protein domain found in various eukaryotic proteins. This domain is characterized by a conserved structural fold and is known to play a role in protein-protein interactions and cellular signaling pathways. Proteins that contain the PCIdomaincontaining domain are often involved in processes such as cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and transcription.

The PCIdomaincontaining domain itself is typically composed of a bundle of alpha-helices. Its three-dimensional structure allows it to bind to other proteins, facilitating the assembly of larger protein complexes. This interaction is crucial for the proper functioning of the cellular processes in which these proteins are involved. While the exact binding partners can vary depending on the specific protein and cellular context, it is often found to interact with other signaling molecules and regulatory proteins.

Research on PCIdomaincontaining proteins has revealed their importance in maintaining cellular homeostasis. Dysregulation of these proteins has been linked to various diseases, including cancer. Therefore, understanding the structure and function of the PCIdomaincontaining domain is a significant area of study in molecular biology and has implications for therapeutic development. Further investigation into the specific roles of different PCIdomaincontaining proteins continues to shed light on complex biological mechanisms.
