Desciption
The DM domain is named after dsx and mab-3 [2]. dsx contains a single amino-terminal DM domain, whereas mab-3 contains two amino-terminal domains. The DM domain has a pattern of conserved zinc chelating residues C2H2C4 [1]. The dsx DM domain has been shown to dimerise and bind palindromic DNA [3].
