Functional Families

Overview of the Structural Clusters (SC) and Functional Families within this CATH Superfamily. Clusters with a representative structure are represented by a filled circle.

Superfamily: Herpesvirus alkaline exonuclease, N-terminal domain

Representative proteins of this superfamily are SOX (shut off and exonuclease) and its Epstein-Barr virus homolog, BGLF5. Alkaline exonucleases appear to have an important role in the replication of herpes simplex virus, host shutoff at mRNA level and DNA processing. Literature suggests that the N-terminal domain may be involved in undergoing essential interactions with proteins or RNA. DOI:.org/10.1111/j.1742-4658.2009.07374.x
