The PCI domains are "winged" HEAT domains.

ABSTRACT: The HEAT domains are a family of helical hairpin repeat domains, composed of four or more hairpins. HEAT is derived from the names of four family members: huntingtin, eukaryotic translation elongation factor 3 (eEF3), protein phosphatase 2 regulatory A subunit (PP2A), and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR). HEAT domain-containing proteins play roles in a wide range of cellular processes, such as protein synthesis, nuclear transport and metabolism, and cell signaling. The PCI domains are a related group of helical hairpin domains, with a "winged-helix" (WH) subdomain at their C-terminus, which is responsible for multi-subunit complex formation with other PCI domains. The name is derived from the complexes, where these domains are found: the 26S Proteasome "lid" regulatory subcomplex, th
