WYL is a Sm-like SH3 beta-barrel fold containing domain. It is a member of the WYL-like superfamily, named for three conserved amino acids found in a subset of the superfamily. However, these residues are not strongly conserved throughout the family. Rather, the conservation pattern includes four basic residues and a position often occupied by a cysteine [1], which are predicted to line a ligand-binding groove typical of the Sm-like SH3 beta-barrels. A WYL domain protein (sll7009) is a negative regulator of the I-D CRISPR-Cas system in Synechocystis sp [2]. It is predicted to be a ligand-sensing domain that could bind negatively charged ligands, such as nucleotides or nucleic acid fragments, to regulate CRISPR-Cas and other defense systems such as the abortive infection AbiG system.

This domain is found in the PafB and PafC heteromeric regulators that act as transcriptional activators and belong to the large bacterial family of WYL domain- containing proteins. In these proteins, WCX domain (WYL C-terminal extension) is found next to the WYL domain. WCX domain is involved in heterodimer formation. It folds into an alpha/beta structure composed of four-stranded beta-sheet with alpha-helices packed on it with topology similar to ferredoxin-like domains.
