This domain, Associated With SET, of unknown function is found in eukaryotic proteins of unknown function. This domain, as the name suggests, is often found in association with the SET domain ( IPR001214 ), suggesting a role in gene regulation by methylation of lysine residues in histones and other proteins.
Systematic identification of novel protein domain families associated with nuclear functions.

Display abstract
A systematic computational analysis of protein sequences containing known nuclear domains led to the identification of 28 novel domain families. This represents a 26% increase in the starting set of 107 known nuclear domain families used for the analysis. Most of the novel domains are present in all major eukaryotic lineages, but 3 are species specific. For about 500 of the 1200 proteins that contain these new domains, nuclear localization could be inferred, and for 700, additional features could be predicted. For example, we identified a new domain, likely to have a role downstream of the unfolded protein response; a nematode-specific signalling domain; and a widespread domain, likely to be a noncatalytic homolog of ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes.

This information is based on mapping of SMART genomic protein database to KEGG orthologous groups. Percentage points are related to the number of proteins with AWS domain which could be assigned to a KEGG orthologous group, and not all proteins containing AWS domain. Please note that proteins can be included in multiple pathways, ie. the numbers above will not always add up to 100%.
