cl00062

Forkhead associated domain (FHA); found in eukaryotic and prokaryotic proteins. Putative nuclear signalling domain. FHA domains may bind phosphothreonine, phosphoserine and sometimes phosphotyrosine. In eukaryotes, many FHA domain-containing proteins localize to the nucleus, where they participate in establishing or maintaining cell cycle checkpoints, DNA repair, or transcriptional regulation. Members of the FHA family include: Dun1, Rad53, Cds1, Mek1, KAPP(kinase-associated protein phosphatase),and Ki-67 (a human nuclear protein related to cell proliferation).
