| Primary Identifier | IPR032600 | Type | Domain |
| Short Name | Sm-like_dom |
| description | This domain, approximately 150 residues, is mainly found in several uncharacterised proteins from various Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus phages. The crystal structure of ECX21941 reveals unexpected similarity to Sm/LSm proteins, which are important RNA-binding proteins, despite no detectable sequence similarity []. The specific function of this family is unknown, but the structure analysis of ECX21941 indicates nucleic acid-binding capabilities and suggests a role in RNA and/or DNA processing []. |
