IPR021027
Transposase, putative, helix-turn-helix domain
InterPro entry
Short name | Transposase_put_HTH |
Description
This entry represents an N-terminal helix-turn-helix domain found in a variety of putative transposases
[1, 2, 3], such as A625R from Paramecium bursaria Chlorella virus 1 and in RNA-guided DNA endonucleases, including TnpB from Deinococcus radiodurans, an RNA-guided dsDNA endonuclease that cleaves DNA downstream of the 5'-TTGAT-3' transposon-associated motif (TAM) guided by RNA derived from the right-end element of its insertion sequence element
[4]. This domain is usually associated with
IPR001959 and
IPR010095.
