description: 'In B. subtilis, one small SOS response operon under the control of LexA, the yneA operon,
  is comprised of three genes: yneA, yneB, and ynzC [[cite:PUB00053936]]. This family consists of several
  short, hypothetical bacterial proteins of unknown function. These proteins are mainly found in gram-positive
  firmicutes. Structures show that the N-terminus is composed of two alpha helices forming a helix-loop-helix
  motif. The structure of ynzC from B. subtilis forms a trimeric complex [[cite:PUB00047592]]. Structural
  modelling suggests this domain may bind nucleic acids [[cite:PUB00070793]]. This family is also known
  as UPF0291.'
