Protein Domain : DNA metabolism protein, putative IPR023875

Type  Family
Description  This entry represents a family of conserved hypothetical proteins that almost invariably pair with an uncharacterised radical SAM protein. The pair occurs in about twenty percent of completed prokaryotic genomes. About forty percent of the members of this family occur as fusion proteins, where the C-terminal domain belongs to the uracil-DNA glycosylase family, a DNA repair family (because uracil in DNA is deamidated cytosine). The linkage by gene clustering and correlated species distribution to a radical SAM protein, and by gene fusion to a DNA repair protein family, suggests a role in DNA modification and/or repair.
