This domain is found at the C-terminal end of Regulatory protein SIR3 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and similar fungal proteins. SIR3 is essential for gene silencing. It is organised into a highly conserved N-terminal BAH domain (Pfam:PF01426), a C -terminal AAA+ ATPase-like domain (Pfam:PF17872), plus an extreme C-terminal domain (this entry). This domain form a winged helix-turn-helix (HTH) variant with a strong homodimerisation function but without the ability to bind DNA [1].
