In molecular biology a tudor domain is a conserved protein structural motif originally identified as a region of 50 amino acids found in the Tudor protein encoded in Drosophila. The structurally characterized Tudor domain in human SMN (survival of motor neuron) is a strongly bent anti-parallel β-sheet consisting of five β-strands with a barrel-like fold and recognizes symmetrically dimethylated arginine.[1]

The proteins TP53BP1 (Tumor suppressor p53-binding protein 1) and its fission yeast homolog Crb2[2] and JMJD2A (Jumonji domain containing 2A) contain either tandem or double Tudor domains and recognize methylated histones.[3][4]

Other tudor domain containing proteins include AKAP1 (A-kinase anchor protein 1)[5] and ARID4A (AT rich interactive domain 4A) among others. A well known Tudor domain containing protein is Staphylococcal Nuclease Domain Containing 1 (SND1)/Tudor-SN/p100 co activator.[6] SND1 is involved in RISC complex and interacts with AEG-1 oncogene.[7] SND1 is also acts as an oncogene and plays very important role in HCC and colon cancer.[8] The SND1 tudor domain binds to methylated arginine in the PIWIL1 protein.[9] Tudor containing SND1 promotes tumor angiogenesis in human hepatocellular carcinoma through a novel pathway which involves NF-kappaB and miR-221.[10] Tudor SND1 is also present in the Drosophila melanogaster.
