Protein Domain : DNA-binding RecF, domain 2 IPR042174

Type	Homologous_superfamily
Description	This superfamily represents the second domain found in structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) proteins, which function together with other proteins in a range of chromosomal transactions, including chromosome condensation, sister-chromatid cohesion, recombination, DNA repair and epigenetic silencing of gene expression [ ]. The eukaryotic SMC proteins form two kind of heterodimers: the SMC1/SMC3 and the SMC2/SMC4 types. These heterodimers constitute an essential part of higher order complexes, which are involved in chromatin and DNA dynamics []. This domain is also found in the RecF protein (recombination mediator), which is involved in DNA metabolism and recombination.
Short Name	RecF_2
