| Description | A conserved alpha helical motif that along with the WHIM2 and WHIM3 motifs, and the DDT domain comprise an alpha helical module found in diverse eukaryotic chromatin proteins [1].Based on the Ioc3 structure, this module is inferred to interact with nucleosomal linker DNA and the SLIDE domain of ISWI proteins [1][2]. The resulting complex forms a protein ruler that measures out the spacing between two adjacent nucleosomes [2]. The conserved basic residue in WHIM1 is involved in packing with the DDT motif. The module shows a great domain architectural diversity and is often combined with other modified histone peptide recognising and DNA binding domains, some of which discriminate methylated DNA [1]. |
