This domain represents the N-terminal DNA-binding domain found in the PriA protein. The 3'BD, which has been shown to bind the 3' end of the leading-strand arm of replication fork structures.

This is the C-terminal domain found in PriA DNA helicase, a multifunctional enzyme that mediates the process of restarting prematurely terminated DNA replication reactions in bacteria. The C-terminal domain (CTD) bears similarity to the S10 subunit which binds branched rRNA within the bacterial ribosome. The C-terminal domain is part of the helicase domain of PriA proteins. It acts together with the 3' DNA-binding domain to form a site for binding ssDNA-binding protein (SSB) [1]. [1]. 24379377. Structural mechanisms of PriA-mediated DNA replication restart..

This is a cys-rich region (CRR) domain found in PriA DNA helicases. In bacteria, the replication restart process is orchestrated by the PriA DNA helicase, which identifies replication forks via structure-specific DNA binding and interactions with fork-associated ssDNA-binding proteins (SSBs). The CRR region which is embedded within the C-terminal helicase lobe has been identified to bind two Zn2+ ions. This 50-residue insertion forms a structure on the surface of the helicase core in which two Zn2+ ions are coordinated by invariant Cys residues. Biochemical experiments have shown that sequence changes to Zn2+-binding Cys residues in the PriA CRR can eliminate helicase, but not ATPase, activity and can block assembly of PriB onto DNA-bound PriA, implicating the CRR in multiple functions in PriA [1].

Members of this family include the DEAD and DEAH box helicases. Helicases are involved in unwinding nucleic acids. The DEAD box helicases are involved in various aspects of RNA metabolism, including nuclear transcription, pre mRNA splicing, ribosome biogenesis, nucleocytoplasmic transport, translation, RNA decay and organellar gene expression.

All proteins in this family for which functions are known are components of the primosome which is involved in replication, repair, and recombination.This family is based on the phylogenomic analysis of JA Eisen (1999, Ph.D. Thesis, Stanford University).
