pfam09377: SBDS_domain_II (This model is not part of the current CDD release)
SBDS protein, domain II
Members containing this domain are highly conserved in species ranging from archaea to vertebrates and plants, including several Shwachman-Bodian-Diamond syndrome (SBDS) proteins from both mouse and humans. Shwachman-Diamond syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder with clinical features that include pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, haematological dysfunction and skeletal abnormalities. These proteins play a role in RNA metabolism. In yeast Sdo1 is involved in the biogenesis of the 60S ribosomal subunit and translational activation of ribosomes. SBDS protein is composed of three domains. The N-terminal (pfam01172) (FYSH) domain (domain I) is the most frequent target for disease mutations and contains a novel mixed alpha/beta-fold, the central domain (domain II) represented in this entry consists of a three-helical bundle and the C-terminal domain that has a ferredoxin-like fold.
