I am looking at Cluster BH phages and have found a product that doesn't seem to fit the existing types of DNA binding proteins already on the official list. The HHPRED results for Crosby_9225-8866 gene product are attached. Hits are at 99% probability and e-values of 10^-21 and coverage over most of the query. There are a number of hits called DNA-binding HU or Histone-like. A paper that talks about a possible role of one of these hits in DNA bending is http://emboj.embopress.org/content/22/14/3749 . On PECAAN, the Conserved Domain hits are also to this HU-like domain. Currently, all the members of the Pham are found in Cluster BH phages only. I suggest that we add a new type of DNA binding function "DNA binding protein, HU-like" Lee |
