Domain of unknown function found in archaea, bacteria, and plants
This domain is found in proteins that contain AT-hook motifs, which suggests a role in DNA-binding for the proteins as a whole. Three conserved histidine residues appear to form a zinc-binding site, and the domain has been observed to form homotrimers. It co-occurs with a thioredoxin-like domain in uncharacterized cyanobacterial proteins.
