G Patch Domain Containing Protein 4 (GPATCH4)

GPATCH4, Contains 1 G-patch domain, The G-patch domain is a short conserved region of about 40 amino acids which occurs in a number of putative RNA-binding proteins, including tumor suppressor and DNA-damage-repair proteins, suggesting that this domain may have an RNA binding function. This domain has seven highly conserved glycines.

The G-patch domain is a short conserved region occurring in a number of putative RNA-binding proteins, tumor suppressors and DNA-damage-repair proteins, This domain is found in several RNA associated proteins and has been suggested to be involved in RNA binding.Several beta-retroviral proteases have unique C-terminal extension sequences, containing a glycine-rich motif (G-patch), which specifically binds in vitro to single-stranded nucleic acids.
