CD Accession:
cl01491
CD Definition:
YacP-like NYN domain; This family consists of bacterial proteins related to YacP. This family is uncharacterized functionally, but it has been suggested that these proteins are nucleases due to them containing a NYN domain. NYN (for N4BP1, YacP-like Nuclease) domains were discovered by Anantharaman and Aravind. Based on gene neighborhoods it was suggested that the bacterial YacP proteins interact with the Ribonuclease III and TrmH methylase in a processome complex that catalyzes the maturation of rRNA and tRNA.
