Members of this family include the DEAD and DEAH box helicases. Helicases are involved in unwinding nucleic acids. The DEAD box helicases are involved in various aspects of RNA metabolism, including nuclear transcription, pre mRNA splicing, ribosome biogenesis, nucleocytoplasmic transport, translation, RNA decay and organellar gene expression.
The Prosite family is restricted to DEAD/H helicases, whereas this domain family is found in a wide variety of helicases and helicase related proteins. It may be that this is not an autonomously folding unit, but an integral part of the helicase.

The transcription-repair coupling factor (TRCF, also known as MFD) couples transcription and DNA repair in bacteria. MFD removes transcription elongation complexes stalled at DNA lesions and recruits the nucleotide excision repair (NER) machinery to the site [3]. This protein consists of eight domains [3,4], of which D3 is represented in this entry and its function is unknown. This domain plays a critical role in unmasking of the UvrA binding site [3].
