This entry represents a C-terminal domain present in a set of RecJ proteins, such as RecJ from Thermus thermophilus. The RecJ protein of Escherichia coli plays an important role in a number of DNA repair and recombination pathways. RecJ catalyses processive degradation of single-stranded DNA in a 5'-to-3' direction. Sequences highly related to those encoding RecJ can be found in many of the eubacterial genomes sequenced to date [1,2].
This domain is often found adjacent to the DHH domain Pfam:PF01368 and is called DHHA1 for DHH associated domain. This domain is diagnostic of DHH subfamily 1 members [1]. This domain is also found in alanyl tRNA synthetase e.g. Swiss:P00957, suggest ...
This domain is often found adjacent to the DHH domain Pfam:PF01368 and is called DHHA1 for DHH associated domain. This domain is diagnostic of DHH subfamily 1 members [1]. This domain is also found in alanyl tRNA synthetase e.g. Swiss:P00957, suggesting that this domain may have an RNA binding function. The domain is about 60 residues long and contains a conserved GG motif.
It is predicted that this family of proteins all perform a phosphoesterase function. This domain is found at the N-terminal of the single stranded DNA exonuclease RecJ. It shows an alpha-beta configuration [2].
