single CXXC unit This is a solo version of the zf-CXXC domain with a conserved CXXCXXCX(n)C, zinc-binding motif. This is, thus far, only detected in the plant lineage in diverse chromatin proteins. Structural comparisons show that the mono-CXXC is homologous to the structural- zinc binding domain of medium chain dehydrogenases. The regular zf-CXXC domain binds nonmethyl-CpG dinucleotides.
