Schlafen group 3, DNA/RNA helicase domain
This domain is found in at the C terminus of group 3 Schlafen proteins from mammals, and represents the DNA/RNA helicase domain. Schlafen proteins are involved in the control of cell proliferation, induction of immune responses, and in the regulation of viral replication. These proteins inhibit DNA replication and promote cell death in response to DNA damage. They play a role in genome surveillance to kill cells with defective replication. This domain is also found in various uncharacterised prokaryotic proteins fused to a DNA helicase, GIY-YIG or PD-(D/E)XK catalytic domain or HsdR-N(terminal) domain, which are similar to AAA DNA helicase, Type III restriction enzyme ATPase, RecD and RuvB helicase.
