“…In eukaryotes the HTH motif is seen in proteins that regulate development and differentiation, transcription factors (TFIIB/ TFIIE) and chromatin proteins (histone H1) (Schultz et al, 1991;Wilson et al, 1992Brennan, 1993Clark et al, 1993;Ramakrishnan et al, 1993;Swindells, 1995;Kodandapani et al, 1996;Aravind and Koonin, 1999;Gajiwala and Burley, 2000). This motif has also been identified in proteins involved in DNA repair and RNA metabolism (Moore et al, 1994;Wah et al, 1997;Selmer and Su, 2002;Alfano et al, 2004;Dong et al, 2004). In addition to DNA binding, the HTH can also be adapted for mediating specific protein-protein interactions or can be part of a structural unit of a large enzymatic domain (Guo et al, 1997;Wong et al, 2000;Zheng et al, 2002).…”
