Glycine data from LIS
Description | The DDT domain is named after (DNA binding homeobox and Different Transcription factors) and is approximately 60 residues in length [1]. Along with the WHIM motifs, it comprises an entirely alpha helical module found in diverse eukaryotic chromatin proteins [2]. Based on the structure of Ioc3, this module is inferred to interact with nucleosomal linker DNA and the SLIDE domain of ISWI proteins [2][3]. The resulting complex forms a protein ruler that measures out the spacing between two adjacent nucleosomes [2]. In particular, the DDT domain, in combination with the WHIM1 and WHIM2 motifs form the SLIDE domain binding pocket [2]. |
