HIRAN

 HIRAN
SMART accession number:SM00910
Description: The HIRAN protein (HIP116, Rad5p N-terminal) is found in the N-terminal regions of the SWI2/SNF2 proteins typified by HIP116 and Rad5p. HIRAN is found as a standalone protein in several bacteria and prophages, or fused to other catalytic domains, such as a nuclease of the restriction endonuclease fold and TDP1-like DNA phosphoesterases, in the eukaryotes (PUBMED:16627993). It has been predicted that this protein functions as a DNA-binding domain that probably recognises features associated with damaged DNA or stalled replication forks (PUBMED:16627993)
Interpro abstract (IPR014905):

The HIRAN domain (HIP116 Rad5p N-terminal) is found in the N-terminal regions of the SWI2/SNF2 proteins typified by HIP116 and Rad5p. HIRAN is found as a standalone protein in several bacteria and prophages, or fused to other catalytic domains, such as a nuclease of the restriction endonuclease fold and TDP1-like DNA phosphoesterases, in the eukaryotes [ (PUBMED:16627993) ]. It has been predicted that this protein functions as a DNA-binding domain that probably recognises features associated with damaged DNA or stalled replication forks [ (PUBMED:16627993) ].
