This domain is found in the Bifunctional protein PutA from Escherichia coli and similar sequences mainly found in proteobacteria. PutA is both a bifunctional proline catabolic enzyme that oxidises proline to glutamate for use as a carbon and nitrogen source and an autogenous transcriptional repressor of the put operon. This entry represents the N-terminal ribbon-helix-helix (RHH) domain, which consists of a beta-strand and two alpha-helices. This domain has a Lys at the end of the beta-strand that interacts directly with DNA bases through the major groove, contributing to transcriptional regulation [1,3].
