This domain is found in human Transcription elongation factor SPT5 and related proteins from eukaryotes. SPT5 is a component of the elongation factor DRB-sensitivity inducing factor (DSIF) that plays multiple roles during transcription. SPT5 is a multidomain protein consisting of an N-terminal NusG domain, a tandem of KOW domains and and a mobile C-terminal-repeat region. This entry represents the KOWx domain that is located between domains KOW3 and KOW4. The KOWx domain along with KOW4 and KOW5 forms an RNA clamp [1]. The tandem KOWx-4 contacts the wall, stalk, and dock domains of Pol II [1]. This only includes Spt5 proteins from eukaryotes.
The YqgF domain of SPT6 proteins is homologous to the E.coli RuvC [1] but its putative catalytic site lacks the carboxylate side chains critical for coordinating magnesium ions that mediate phosphodiester bond-cleavage [2]

This domain is found in Tex protein and other related proteins. Tex belongs to a family of prokaryotic transcriptional accessory factors that likely function in a variety of transcriptional processes [1-5].This domain is mainly helical, consisting of a number of small helices that wrap around a long central helix.
