description: This entry represents the N-terminal beta barrel domain found in DUF3723 proteins found mainly
  in fungi. This domain is frequently encoded within Starship elements, which are large transposable elements
  that mobilise accessory genes in fungal genomes [[cite:PUB00163731]]. This domain shows structural similarity
  to bacterial proteins involved in chromosome stabilisation such as ParB. This suggests this domain may
  bind to CTP. The function of this domain remains to be determined.
