Introduction

Pfam

Alba is a novel chromosomal protein that coats archaeal DNA without compacting it.

InterPro

Members of this group include the archaeal protein Alba and eukaryotic Ribonuclease P subunits Pop7/Rpp20 and Rpp25. The Alba domain is closely related to the RNA-binding versions of the IF3-C fold such as YhbY and IF3-C. The eukaryotic lineages of the Alba family are principally involved in RNA metabolism, suggesting that the ancestral function of the IF3-C fold was related to RNA interaction [PUBMED:14519199].
