Oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding (OB)-fold proteins play essential roles in the regulation of genome and its correct transformation to the subsequent generation. To maintain the genomic stability, OB-fold proteins are implicated in various cellular processes including DNA replication, DNA repair, cell cycle regulation and maintenance of telomere. The diverse functional spectrums of OB-fold proteins are mainly due to their involvement in protein-DNA and protein-protein complexes. Mutations and consequential structural alteration in the OB-fold proteins often lead to severe diseases. Here, we have investigated the structure, function and mode of action of OB-fold proteins (RPA, BRCA2, DNA ligases and SSBs1/2) in cellular pathways and their relationship with diseases and their possible use in therapeutic intervention. Due to the crucial role of OB-fold proteins in regulating the key physiological process, a detailed structural understanding in the context of underlying mechanism of action and cellular complexity offers a new avenue to target OB-proteins for therapeutic intervention.
