| PF14706 | Transposase DNA-binding | domain |
This domain occurs at the C-terminus of transposases including E. coli tnpA (Swiss:Q46731). TnpA encodes a transposase and an inhibitor protein, the inhibitor only differs from the transposase by the absence of the N-terminal 55 amino acids, which includes most of this domain [1]. This domain consists of alpha helices and turns, and functions as a DNA-binding domain [2].
