Replication protein A, class 2b aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, and related proteins with oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide (OB) fold.; This superfamily includes two oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide binding fold (OBF) domain families. One of these contains the OBF domains of the large (RPA1, 70kDa), middle (RPA2, RPA4, 32kDa) and small (RPA3, 14 kDa) subunits of human heterotrimeric Replication protein A (RPA), and similar domains. RPA is a nuclear single-strand (ss) DNA-binding protein involved in most aspects of DNA metabolism. This family includes the four OBF domains of RPA1 [DNA-binding domain (DBD)-A, DBD-B, DBD-C, and RPA1N], the OBF domain of RPA2 (RPA2 DBD-D), RPA3, and the OBF domain of RPA4. The major DNA binding activity of human RPA and Saccharomyces cerevisiae RPA appears to be associated with DBD-A and -B, of RPA1. RPA1 DBD-C shows only weak ssDNA-binding activity and is involved in trimerization. The other OBF domain family in this superfamily is the N-terminal, anticodon recognition domain of class 2b aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs). aaRSs catalyze the specific attachment of amino acids to their cognate tRNAs during protein biosynthesis. Class 2b aaRSs include the homodimeric aspartyl-, asparaginyl-, and lysyl-tRNA synthetases.

single stranded DNA-binding protein (ssb); All proteins in this family for which functions are known are single-stranded DNA binding proteins that function in many processes including transcription, repair, replication and recombination. Members encoded between genes for ribosomal proteins S6 and S18 should be annotated as primosomal protein N (PriB). Forms in gamma-protoeobacteria are much shorter and poorly recognized by this model. Additional members of this family include phage proteins. Eukaryotic members are organellar proteins. [DNA metabolism, DNA replication, recombination, and repair]
