| PF08340 | Domain of unknown function (DUF1732) | family |
This domain of unknown function is often found at the C-terminus of bacterial proteins, many of which are hypothetical, including proteins of the YicC family which have Pfam:PF03755 at the N-terminus. These include a protein important in the stationary phase of growth, and required for growth at high temperature [1]. Structural modelling suggests this domain may bind nucleic acids [2].
