2a4v is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
DOT5_YEAST Has a role in telomere silencing, which is the repression of chromatin structure which leads to a stop in the transcription of nearby genes. Also has a role in the regulation of telomere length. Acts as an alkyl-hydroperoxide reductase in the nucleus during post-diauxic growth. Preferentially reduces alkyl-hydroperoxides rather than hydrogen preoxide. Acts as an antioxidant necessary for stationary phase survival.[1][2][3]
