SANT domain

In molecular biology, a SANT domain is a protein domain that allows many chromatin remodeling proteins to interact with histones.[1] The name SANT is an acronym standing for "Swi3, Ada2, N-Cor, and TFIIIB".[2] The SANT domain is highly conserved, and is similar to Myb DNA-binding domains.
