| PF05879 | Root hair defective 3 GTP-binding protein (RHD3) GTPase domain | domain |
This is the GTPase domain of several eukaryotic root hair defective 3 (RHD3) like GTP-binding proteins, including RHD3 from Arabidopsis and Sey1 from yeast [1,2,3], which are involved in homotypic membrane fusion of the endoplasmic reticulum [3]. This domain binds GTP and forms dimers with other molecule for membrane tethering [3].
