Type | Homologous_superfamily |
Description | This entry represents a domain superfamily of DNA-binding proteins. It is restricted to bacteria and plants. Members of this family form homodimers which bind DNA via a tweezer-like structure [ , , ]. The conformation of the DNA is changed when bound to these proteins []. In bacteria, these proteins may play a role in DNA replication-recovery following DNA damage [ ]. The plant form contains an additional N-terminal region that may serve as a transit peptide and shows a close relationship to the cyanobacterial member, suggesting that it is a chloroplast protein.The crystal structure YbaB from Haemophilus influenzae revealed a tight dimer with a three-layer structure (beta/alpha/beta) [ ]. |
