BAH, or Bromo Adjacent Homology domain, as present in the Schizosaccharomyces pombe homolog of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Orc1p and similar proteins. Orc1 is part of the Yeast Sir1-origin recognition complex, the Orc1p BAH doman functions in epigenetic silencing. BAH domains are found in a variety of proteins playing roles in transcriptional silencing and the remodeling of chromatin. It is assumed that in most or all of these instances the BAH domain mediates protein-protein interactions.
