It ...This domain was identified in WD40 repeat proteins and Ring finger domain proteins [1]. The function of this domain is unknown. GCN2 is the alpha-subunit of the only translation initiation factor (eIF2 alpha) kinase that appears in all eukaryotes. Its function requires an interaction with GCN1 via the domain at its N-terminus, which is termed the RWD domain [1] after three major RWD-containing proteins: RING finger-containing proteins, WD-repeat-containing proteins, and yeast DEAD (DEXD)-like helicases. The structure forms an alpha + beta sandwich fold consisting of two layers: a four-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet, and three side-by-side alpha-helices [2].
