description | DEK is a chromatin associated protein that is linked with cancers and autoimmune disease. This domain is found at the C-terminal of DEK and is of clinical importance since it can reverse the characteristic abnormal DNA-mutagen sensitivity in fibroblasts from ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) patients [, ]. The structure of this domain shows it to be homologous to the E2F/DP transcription factor family [].
