ID:STN1_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=CST complex subunit STN1; AltName: Full=Oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding fold-containing protein 1; AltName: Full=Suppressor of cdc thirteen homolog; FUNCTION: Component of the CST complex, a complex that binds to single-stranded DNA and is required to protect telomeres from DNA degradation. The CST complex binds single-stranded DNA with high affinity in a sequence-independent manner, while isolated subunits bind DNA with low affinity by themselves. In addition to telomere protection, the CST complex has probably a more general role in DNA metabolism at non-telomeric sites. SUBUNIT: Component of the CST complex, composed of TEN1/C17orf106, CTC1/C17orf68 and STN1/OBFC1. Interacts with TEN1/C17orf106 and CTC1/C17orf68; the interaction is direct. Interacts with ACD/TPP1. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. Chromosome, telomere. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the STN1 family. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 OB DNA-binding domain.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
