PWWP domain is only found in eukaryotes, from a yeast to a human. The number of PWWP containing protein is also varying on species; the human has 20. The loyal family has a common structural characteristic, three conserved β-strands.<ref>Rona GB, Eleutherio EC, Pinheiro AS. PWWP domains and their modes of sensing DNA and histone methylated lysines. Biophysical reviews. 2016 Mar 1;8(1):63-74.</ref> The PWWP domain is also believed to be evolved from a common ancestor which had 3 β-strands. The most conservative section is the PWWP sequence, which it is named after.

Using domain-tree approach, the BRPF family was branched out from rest of PWWP domain containg proteins and evolved itself.<ref>Alvarez-Venegas R, Avramova Z. Evolution of the PWWP-domain encoding genes in the plant and animal lineages. BMC evolutionary biology. 2012 Dec 1;12(1):101.</ref> As a domain, the PWWP presents in both unicellular and multicellular organisms. However, proteins of unicellular organisms are not found in multicellular creatures. Therefore, the PWWP domain was transmitted as a conserved linear arrangement alone, not the whole protein.<ref>Alvarez-Venegas R, Avramova Z.
