Helix-turn-helix domain of Hin and related proteins, a family of DNA-binding domains unique to bacteria and represented by the Hin protein of Salmonella. The basic HTH domain is a simple fold comprised of three core helices that form a right-handed helical bundle. The principal DNA-protein interface is formed by the third helix, the recognition helix, inserting itself into the major groove of the DNA. A diverse array of HTH domains participate in a variety of functions that depend on their DNA-binding properties. HTH_Hin represents one of the simplest versions of the HTH domains; the characterization of homologous relationships between various sequence-diverse HTH domain families remains difficult. The Hin recombinase induces the site-specific inversion of a chromosomal DNA segment containing a promoter, which controls the alternate expression of two genes by reversibly switching orientation. The Hin recombinase consists of a single polypeptide chain containing a DNA-binding domain (HTH_Hin) and a catalytic domain.
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.
Tips:  If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position. The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs. Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below. Range on the Protein: Protein ID Protein Position Domain Position:
