pfam08699: ArgoL1 (this model, PSSM-Id:400854 is obsolete and has been replaced by 462567)
Argonaute linker 1 domain
ArgoL1 is a region found in argonaute proteins. It normally co-occurs with pfam02179 and pfam02171. It is a linker region between the N-terminal and the PAZ domains. It contains an alpha-helix packed against a three-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet with two long beta-strands (beta8 and beta9) of the sheet spanning one face of the adjacent N and PAZ domains. L1 together with linker 2, L2, PAZ and ArgoN forms a compact global fold.
