This is the RNA polymerase interacting domain (RID) of transcription-repair-coupling factor (TRCF), CarD and CarD homologue in Myxococcus xanthus, called CdnL. In Myxococcus xanthus, CdnL is a protein required for the activation of light- and starvation-inducible genes [1]. It interacts with the zinc-binding protein CarG to form a complex that regulates multiple processes in Myxococcus xanthus [4]. CarD is widely distributed among bacteria and represents a distinct class of RNAP binding proteins that regulate transcription and essential processes [4-8]. TRCF displaces RNA polymerase stalled at a lesion, binds to the damage recognition protein UvrA, and increases the template strand repair rate during transcription [3].

Members of this family include the DEAD and DEAH box helicases. Helicases are involved in unwinding nucleic acids. The DEAD box helicases are involved in various aspects of RNA metabolism, including nuclear transcription, pre mRNA splicing, ribosome biogenesis, nucleocytoplasmic transport, translation, RNA decay and organellar gene expression.

The transcription-repair coupling factor (TRCF, also known as MFD) couples transcription and DNA repair in bacteria. MFD removes transcription elongation complexes stalled at DNA lesions and recruits the nucleotide excision repair (NER) machinery to the site [3]. This protein consists of eight domains [3,4], of which D3 is represented in this entry and its function is unknown. This domain plays a critical role in unmasking of the UvrA binding site [3].
The Prosite family is restricted to DEAD/H helicases, whereas this domain family is found in a wide variety of helicases and helicase related proteins. It may be that this is not an autonomously folding unit, but an integral part of the helicase.
