The BEN domain is found in diverse animal proteins. Proteins containing BEN domains are BANP/SMAR1, NAC1 and the Drosophila mod(mdg4) isoform C, the chordopoxvirus virosomal protein E5R and several proteins of polydnaviruses. Computational analysis suggests that the BEN domain mediates protein-DNA and protein-protein interactions during chromatin organisation and transcription.
