| Description | This is the DYW domain found in nucleic acid deaminases prototyped by the plant PPR DYW proteins that are implicated in chloroplast and mitochondrial RNA transcript maturation by numerous C to U editing events [1,3,4]. The name derives from the DYW motif present at the C-terminus of the classical plant PPR DYW deaminases. Members containing this domain are present in bacteria, plants, Naegleria, and fungi [2]. Plants and Naegleria show lineage-specific expansions of this family. This domain contains a characteristic zinc-binding motif (CXXC, HXE) which has been shown to bind zinc ions. This domain is often fused to PPR repeats. Ascomycete versions, which are independent lateral transfers, contain a large insert within the domain and are often fused to ankyrin repeats. Bacterial versions are predicted to function as toxins in polymorphic toxin systems [2]. |
