This domain is found in the Csm1 subunit of the Csm complex found in Thermococcus onnurineus. Csm is a type III-A CRISPR-Cas system, which is an RNA-guided immune defense mechanism that detects and destroys foreign DNA or RNA. This domain is known as domain A and is positioned side by side with domain C. Both domain A and domain C adopt the BABBA topology. Domain A interacts primarily with domain B [1].

The prokaryotic CRISPR RNA-Cas protein (Cmr) complex provides protection against mobile genetic elements by cleaving foreign RNA. Its largest subunit is Cmr2. This protein shows a N-terminal HD (histidine-aspartate) domain, two RRM domains resembling adenylate cyclase and two alpha-helical domains. This entry represents the second alpha-helical domain. It is similar to the small subunit Cmr5, which contains six alpha-helices and two helical insertions that fold into a single globular structure [1-5]. This domain is also found in Cas10 proteins from bacteria [6].

Clustered, regularly interspaced, short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) loci play a pivotal role in the prokaryotic host defense system against invading genetic materials. The CRISPR loci are transcribed to produce CRISPR RNAs (crRNAs), which form interference complexes with CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins to target the invading nucleic acid for degradation. The interference complex of the type III-A CRISPR-Cas system is composed of five Cas proteins (Csm1-Csm5) and a crRNA, and targets invading DNA. This entry represents the C-terminal domain found in Csm4. Csm4 structurally resembles Cmr3, a component of the type III-B CRISPR-Cas interference complex. Studies indicate that Csm3-Csm4 complex binds single-stranded RNA in a non-sequence-specific manner. Structural analysis show , Csm3 and Csm4 have one and two ferredoxin-like folds (also known as an RRM-like fold), respectively. The long beta-hairpin inserted into the C-terminal ferredoxin-like fold of Csm4, is well-conserved in the Cmr3 structure. The corresponding beta-hairpin of Cmr3 binds the D1 domain of Cmr2, as observed in the Cmr2-Cmr3 complex structure. Furthermore, it is suggested that the hairpin of Csm4 is responsible for the interaction with Csm1 (ortholog of Cmr2) [1].
