SMG5
Encyclopedia
Protein SMG5 is a protein
that in humans is encoded by the SMG5 gene
. This protein contains a PIN domain
that appears to have mutated the residues in the active site.
Protein
Proteins are biochemical compounds consisting of one or more polypeptides typically folded into a globular or fibrous form, facilitating a biological function. A polypeptide is a single linear polymer chain of amino acids bonded together by peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups of...

Gene
A gene is a molecular unit of heredity of a living organism. It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a type of protein or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism. Living beings depend on genes, as they specify all proteins and functional RNA chains...

PIN domain
In molecular biology the PIN domain is a protein domain that is about 130 amino acids in length. The PIN domain was named after its identification in the N-terminus of the PilT protein . PIN domains function as nuclease enzymes that cleave single stranded RNA in a sequence dependent manner.PIN...
