pfam02559: CarD_TRCF_RID (This model is not part of the current CDD release)
CarD-like/TRCF RID domain
This is the RNA polymerase interacting domain (RID) of transcription-repair-coupling factor (TRCF), CarD and CarD homologue in Myxococcus xanthus, called CdnL. In Myxococcus xanthus, CdnL is a protein required for the activation of light- and starvation-inducible genes. It interacts with the zinc-binding protein CarG to form a complex that regulates multiple processes in Myxococcus xanthus. CarD is widely distributed among bacteria and represents a distinct class of RNAP binding proteins that regulate transcription and essential processes. TRCF displaces RNA polymerase stalled at a lesion, binds to the damage recognition protein UvrA, and increases the template strand repair rate during transcription.
