Domain of unknown function (DUF4426) Members of this entry are found mostly in g-proteobacteria, especially in Vibrio. Strangely enough, there seems to be one eukaryotic homolog in Nematostella vectensis (NEMVEDRAFT_v1g226006), where the PA0388-like domain is fused with a domain homogous to the Methionine biosynthesis protein MetW (see below). In several Pseudomonas species, but also in Vibrio vulnificus and Azotobacter vinelandii PA0388 homologs are genomic neighbors of Nucleoside 5-triphosphatase RdgB (dHAPTP, dITP, XTP-specific) (EC 3.6.1.15) and Methionine biosynthesis protein MetW. On the other hand, in most Vibrio species it appears as a part of a conserved operon involved in possible response to stress.
