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: NAC domain

The NAC protein family comprises a variety of plant proteins that are characterised by the presence of a highly conserved N-terminal NAC domain followed by diverse C-terminal domains. Structural domains comprising this superfamily share the structure of the NAC domain, an acronym derived from the names of the three genes first described as containing the domain, namely NAM (no apical meristem), ATAF1,2 and CUC2 (cup-shaped cotyledon). NAC proteins are involved in transcriptional regulation in several plant processes have been implicated in transcriptional control in a variety of plant processes in addition to being involved in responses to stress and viral infections. The NAC domain is responsible for DNA binding whilst the C-terminal regions constitute transcriptional activation domains PMID:15083810.
