Staphylococcal nuclease homologues
SNc
SMART accession number:SM00318
Description:
Interpro abstract (IPR006021):

Staphylococcus aureus nuclease (SNase) homologues, previously thought to be restricted to bacteria and archaea, are also in eukaryotes. Staphylococcal nuclease has multidomain organization (PUBMED:9003410). The human cellular coactivator p100 contains four repeats, each of which is a SNase homologue. These repeats are unlikely to possess SNase-like activities as each lacks equivalent SNase catalytic residues, yet they may mediate p100's single-stranded DNA-binding function (PUBMED:9041650). alA variety of proteins including many that are still uncharacterised belong to this group.
