| Primary Identifier | IPR008584 | Type | Family |
| Short Name | CXXC_Zn-binding_euk |
| description | This family consists of a number of eukaryotic proteins including CXXC motif containing zinc binding protein (previously known as UPF0587 protein C1orf123). The crystal structure reveals that the protein binds a Zn2+ ion in a tetrahedral coordination with four Cys residues from two CxxC motifs. CXXC motif containing zinc binding protein was initially identified as an interaction partner for the heavy metal-associated (HMA) domain of CCS (copper chaperone for superoxide dismutase). However, it was shown that only misfolded mutant forms, lacking part of the zinc-binding sites, interact with CCS []. |
