Introduction

Pfam

This family represents most of the length of the protein.

InterPro

The purine-rich element binding (Pur) protein family protein consists PURalpha/beta/gamma in humans. Pur-alpha is a highly conserved, sequence-specific DNA- and RNA-binding protein involved in diverse cellular and viral functions including transcription, replication, and cell growth. Pur-alpha has a modular structure with alternating three basic aromatic class I and two acidic leucine-rich class II repeats in the central region of the protein [PUBMED:1448097].
