This is the N-terminal domain found in DNA processing protein A (DprA) present in Streptococcus pneumoniae. DprA has recently been discovered to be a transformation-dedicated RecA loader. Transformation is believed to play a major role in genetic plasticity. This domain is known as the sterile alpha motif (SAM) domain. DprAs are able to form a type of dimer through SAM-SAM interactions, also known as N/N interactions [1].
