armadillo repeat domain binding

Definition

Target type: molecularfunction

Binding to an armadillo repeat domain, an approximately 40 amino acid long tandemly repeated sequence motif first identified in the Drosophila segment polarity protein armadillo. Arm-repeat proteins are involved in various processes, including intracellular signaling and cytoskeletal regulation. [GOC:BHF, GOC:mah, GOC:vk, InterPro:IPR000225]

Armadillo repeat domains are protein-protein interaction modules that are found in a wide variety of proteins. They are characterized by a series of repeated motifs, each of which consists of approximately 40 amino acids. These repeats fold into a helical structure that forms a groove, which can bind to other proteins. The binding of armadillo repeat domains to their targets is often mediated by specific amino acid sequences that are located within the groove. These sequences can be highly conserved, suggesting that they play an important role in the interaction. Armadillo repeat domains are involved in a wide variety of cellular processes, including signal transduction, cell adhesion, and transcription. They are also found in proteins that are involved in diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer's disease. The specific molecular function of armadillo repeat domain binding will depend on the specific protein that contains the domain. However, in general, armadillo repeat domains are involved in mediating protein-protein interactions, which are essential for many cellular processes.'
