CW-type Zinc Finger; This domain appears to be a zinc finger. The alignment shows four conserved cysteine residues and a conserved tryptophan. It was first identified by, and is predicted to be a "highly specialized mononuclear four-cysteine zinc finger...that plays a role in DNA binding and/or promoting protein-protein interactions in complicated eukaryotic processes including...chromatin methylation status and early embryonic development." Weak homology to pfam00628 further evidences these predictions (personal obs: C Yeats). Twelve different CW-domain-containing protein subfamilies are described, with different subfamilies being characteriztic of vertebrates, higher plants and other animals in which these domain is found.

312-331 4.07e-05

PWWP (Pro-Trp-Trp-Pro) domain; The PWWP domain, named for a conserved Pro-Trp-Trp-Pro motif, is a small domain consisting of 100-150 amino acids and is composed of a five-stranded antiparallel beta-barrel followed by a helical region. It is found in numerous proteins that are involved in cell division, growth, and differentiation. Most PWWP-domain proteins seem to be nuclear, often DNA-binding, proteins that function as transcription factors regulating a variety of developmental processes. PWWP domains specifically recognize DNA and histone methylated lysines at the level of the nucleosome. Based on the fact that other regions of PWWP-domain proteins are responsible for nuclear localization and DNA-binding, is likely that the PWWP domain acts as a site for protein-protein binding interactions, influencing chromatin remodeling and thereby regulating transcriptional processes. Some PWWP-domain proteins have been linked to cancer or other diseases; some are known to function as growth factors.

312-331 4.07e-05

PWWP domain found in zinc finger CW-type PWWP domain protein 1 (ZCWPW1) and similar proteins; ZCWPW1 is a histone H3K4me3 reader. It is associated with late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD). In addition to the PWWP domain, ZCWPW1 contains a zinc finger CW (zf-CW) domain that is a histone modification reader for the histone H3 tail with trimethylated K4. The PWWP domain specifically recognizes DNA and histone methylated lysines.
