DDT domain The DDT domain is named after (DNA binding homeobox and Different Transcription factors) and is approximately 60 residues in length. Along with the WHIM motifs, it comprises an entirely alpha helical module found in diverse eukaryotic chromatin proteins. Based on the structure of Ioc3, this module is inferred to interact with nucleosomal linker DNA and the SLIDE domain of ISWI proteins. The resulting complex forms a protein ruler that measures out the spacing between two adjacent nucleosomes. In particular, the DDT domain, in combination with the WHIM1 and WHIM2 motifs form the SLIDE domain binding pocket. |
