This group contains various PA domain-containing subtilisin-like proteases including melon cucumisin, Arabidopsis thaliana Ara12, a nodule specific serine protease from Alnus glutinosa ag12, members of the tomato P69 family, and tomato LeSBT2. These proteins belong to the peptidase S8 family. Cucumisin from the juice of melon fruits is a thermostable serine peptidase, with a broad substrate specificity for oligopeptides and proteins. A. thaliana Ara12 is a thermostable, extracellular serine protease, found chiefly in silique tissue and stem tissue. Ara12 is stimulated by Ca2+ ions. A. glutinosa ag12 is expressed at high levels in the nodules, and at low levels in the shoot tips; it is implicated in both symbiotic and non-symbiotic processes in plant development. The tomato P69 protease family is comprised of various protein isoforms of approximately 69KDa. These isoforms accumulate extracellularly. Some of the P69 genes are tightly regulated in a tissue specific fashion, and by environmental and developmental signals. For example: infection with avirulent bacteria activates transcription of the genes for the P69 B and C isoforms, the P69 E transcript was detected only in roots, and the P69F transcript only in hydathodes. The Tomato LeSBT2 subtilase transcript was not detected in flowers and roots, but was present in cotyledons and leaves. The significance of the PA domain to these proteins has not been ascertained.

GCPII is also known N-acetylated-alpha-linked acidic dipeptidase (NAALDase1), folate hydrolase or prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). GCPII is found in various human tissues including prostate, small intestine, and the central nervous system. In the brain, GCPII is known as NAALDase1, it functions as a NAALDase hydrolyzing the neuropeptide N-acetyl-L-aspartyl-L-glutamate (alpha-NAAG), to release free glutamate. In the small intestine, GCPII releases the terminal glutamate from poly-gamma-glutamated folates. GCPII (PSMA) is a useful cancer marker; its expression is markedly increased in prostate cancer and in tumor-associated neovasculature. GCPIII hydrolyzes alpha-NAAG with a lower efficiency than does GCPII; NAALADase L is not able to hydrolyze alpha-NAAG.

This group includes PA domain containing E3 (ubiquitin ligases) similar to human GRAIL (gene related to anergy in lymphocytes) protein. Proteins in this group contain a C3H2C3 RING finger. E3 ubiquitin ligase is part of an enzymic cascade, the end result of which is the ubiquitination of proteins. In this cascade, E1 activates the ubiquitin, the activated ubiquitin is carried by E2, and E3 recognizes the acceptor protein as well as catalyzes the transfer of the activated ubiquitin from E2 to this acceptor. GRAIL, a transmembrane protein localized in the endosomes, controls the development of T cell clonal anergy, and may ubiquitinate membrane-associated targets for T cell activation. GRAIL1 is associated with, and regulated by, two isoforms of otubain 1 (the ubiquitin-specific protease). Additional E3s belonging to this group include human (h)Goliath and Xenopus GREUL1 (Goliath Related E3 Ubiquitin Ligase 1). hGoliath and GRAIL both have the property of self-ubiquitination. hGoliath is expressed in leukocytes; its expression and localization is not modified in leukemia.

PoSl, the main extracellular protease in P. ostreatus is a subtilisin-like serine protease belonging to the peptidase S8 family. Ca2+ and Mn2+ both stimulate the protease activity of (Po)S1. Ca2+ protects PoS1 from autolysis. PoS1 is a monomeric glycoprotein, which may play a role in the regulation of laccases in lignin formation. (Po)S1 participates in the degradation of POXA1b, and in the activation of POXA3, (POXA1b and POXA3 are laccase isoenzymes), but its effect may be indirect.

This group includes various PA domain-containing VSRs such as garden pea BP-80, pumpkin PV72, and various Arabidopsis VSRs including AtVSR1. In contrast to most eukaryotes, which only have one or two VSRs, plants have several. This may in part be a reflection of having a more complex vacuolar system with both lytic vacuoles and storage vacuoles. The lytic vacuole is thought to be equivalent to the mammalian lysosome and the yeast vacuole. Pea BP-80 is a type 1 transmembrane protein, involved in the targeting of proteins to the lytic vacuole; it has been suggested that this protein also mediates targeting to the storage vacuole. PV72 and AtVSR1 may mediate transport of seed storage proteins to protein storage vacuoles. The significance of the PA domain to VSRs has not been ascertained.

EDEM3 contains a region, similar to Class I alpha-mannosidases (gylcosyl hydrolase family 47), N-terminal to the PA domain. EDEM3 accelerates glycoprotein ERAD (ER-associated degradation). In transfected mammalian cells, overexpression of EDEM3 enhances the mannose trimming from the N-glycans, of a model misfolded protein [alpha1-antitrypsin null (Hong Kong)] as well as, from total glycoproteins. Mannose trimming appears to be involved in the selection of ERAD substrates. EDEM3 has a different specificity of trimming than ER alpha-mannosidase 1.

This group contains various PA domain-containing proteins similar to human TfR1 and TfR2. TfR1 and TfR2 are type II membrane proteins, belonging to the peptidase M28 family. TfR1 is homodimeric, widely expressed, and a key player in the uptake of iron-loaded transferrin (Tf) into cells. The TfR1 homodimer binds two molecules of Tf and this complex is internalized. In addition to its role in iron uptake, TfR1 may participate in cell growth and proliferation. TfR2 also binds Tf but with a significantly lower affinity than does TfR1. TfR2 is expressed chiefly in hepatocytes, hematopoietic cells, and duodenal crypt cells; its expression overlaps with that of hereditary hemochromatosis protein (HFE). TfR2 is involved in iron homeostasis. HFE and TfR2 interact in cells. By one model for serum iron sensing, at low or basal iron concentrations, HFE and TFR1 form a complex at the plasma membrane; at increased Tf, Tf competes with HFE for binding of TfR1, resulting in HFE disassociating from TfR1 and associating with TfR2 . The TfR1-TfR2 association might initiate a signal cascade leading to the induction of hepcidin (a small peptide hormone that controls systemic iron levels). Human mutations in TfR2 are associated with a form of hemochromatosis (HFE3). The significance of the PA domain to TfRs has not been ascertained. It may be a protein-protein interaction domain.

For example, in Rhodobacter sphaeriodes and Rhodobacter capsulatus, it is an 82-kDa monomeric soluble protein found in the periplasmic space; in E. coli, it is membrane-bound and exists as a heterotrimer. BSOR catalyzes the reduction of biotin sulfixode to biotin, and is unique among Mo enzymes because no additional auxiliary proteins or cofactors are required.

Enzymes belonging to this superfamily require a divalent cation, such as Mg2+ or Mn2+ for their activity. Members of this family are recognized by a highly conserved 23-residue nudix motif (GX5EX7REUXEEXGU, where U = I, L or V), which forms a structural motif that functions as a metal binding and catalytic site. Substrates of nudix hydrolase include intact and oxidatively damaged nucleoside triphosphates, dinucleoside polyphosphates, nucleotide-sugars and dinucleotide enzymes. These substrates are metabolites or cell signaling molecules that require regulation during different stages of the cell cycle or during periods of stress. In general, the role of the nudix hydrolase is to sanitize the nucleotide pools and to maintain cell viability, thereby serving as surveillance and "house-cleaning" enzymes. Substrate specificity is used to define child families within the superfamily. Differences in substrate specificity are determined by the N-terminal extension or by residues in variable loop regions. Mechanistically, substrate hydrolysis occurs by a nucleophilic substitution reaction, with variation in the numbers and roles of divalent cations required. This superfamily consists of at least nine families: IPP (isopentenyl diphosphate) isomerase, ADP ribose pyrophosphatase, mutT pyrophosphohydrolase, coenzyme-A pyrophosphatase, MTH1-7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine-triphosphatase, diadenosine tetraphosphate hydrolase, NADH pyrophosphatase, GDP-mannose hydrolase and the c-terminal portion of the mutY adenine glycosylase.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦q¢€0€0€ €‚Ycd02885, IPP_Isomerase, Isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) isomerase, a member of the Nudix hydrolase superfamily, is a key enzyme in the isoprenoid biosynthetic pathway. Isoprenoids comprise a large family of natural products including sterols, carotenoids, dolichols and prenylated proteins. These compounds are synthesized from two precursors: isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP). IPP isomerase catalyzes the interconversion of IPP and DMAPP by a stereoselective antarafacial transposition of hydrogen. The enzyme requires one Mn2+ or Mg2+ ion in its active site to fold into an active conformation and also contains the Nudix motif, a highly conserved 23-residue block (GX5EX7REUXEEXGU, where U = I, L or V), that functions as a metal binding and catalytic site. The metal binding site is present within the active site and plays structural and catalytical roles. IPP isomerase is well represented in several bacteria, archaebacteria and eukaryotes, including fungi, mammals and plants. Despite sequence variations (mainly at the N-terminus), the core structure is highly conserved.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦r¢€0€0€ €‚cd02888, RNR_II_dimer, Class II ribonucleotide reductase, dimeric form. Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) catalyzes the reductive synthesis of deoxyribonucleotides from their corresponding ribonucleotides. It provides the precursors necessary for DNA synthesis. RNRs are separated into three classes based on their metallocofactor usage. Class I RNRs, found in eukaryotes, bacteria, and bacteriophage, use a diiron-tyrosyl radical. Class II RNRs, found in bacteria, bacteriophage, algae and archaea, use coenzyme B12 (adenosylcobalamin, AdoCbl). Class III RNRs, found in anaerobic bacteria, bacteriophage, and archaea, use an FeS cluster and S-adenosylmethionine to generate a glycyl radical. Many organisms have more than one class of RNR present in their genomes. All three RNRs have a ten-stranded alpha-beta barrel domain that is structurally similar to the domain of PFL (pyruvate formate lyase). Class II RNRs are found in bacteria that can live under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Many, but not all members of this class are found to be homodimers. Adenosylcobalamin interacts directly with an active site cysteine to form the reactive cysteine radical.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €V¢€0€0€ €‚¿cd02889, SQCY, Squalene cyclase (SQCY) domain; found in class II terpene cyclases that have an alpha 6 - alpha 6 barrel fold. Squalene cyclase (SQCY) and 2,3-oxidosqualene cyclase (OSQCY) are integral membrane proteins that catalyze a cationic cyclization cascade converting linear triterpenes to fused ring compounds. Bacterial SQCY catalyzes the convertion of squalene to hopene or diplopterol. Eukaryotic OSQCY transforms the 2,3-epoxide of squalene to compounds such as, lanosterol (a metabolic precursor of cholesterol and steroid hormones) in mammals and fungi or, cycloartenol in plants. Deletion of a single glycine residue of Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius SQCY alters its substrate specificity into that of eukaryotic OSQCY. Both enzymes have a second minor domain, which forms an alpha-alpha barrel that is inserted into the major domain.

The protein prenyltransferase family of lipid-modifying enzymes includes protein farnesyltransferase (FTase) and geranylgeranyltransferase types I and II (GGTase-I and GGTase-II). They catalyze the carboxyl-terminal lipidation of Ras, Rab, and several other cellular signal transduction proteins, facilitating membrane associations and specific protein-protein interactions. Prenyltransferases employ a Zn2+ ion to alkylate a thiol group catalyzing the formation of thioether linkages between the C1 atom of farnesyl (15-carbon by FTase) or geranylgeranyl (20-carbon by GGTase-I, II) isoprenoid lipids and cysteine residues at or near the C-terminus of protein acceptors. FTase and GGTase-I prenylate the cysteine in the terminal sequence, "CAAX"; and GGTase-II prenylates both cysteines in the "CC" (or "CXC") terminal sequence. These enzymes are heterodimeric with both alpha and beta subunits required for catalytic activity. In contrast to other prenyltransferases, GGTase-II does not recognize its protein acceptor directly but requires Rab to complex with REP (Rab escort protein) before prenylation can occur.

This modification of the conformation of the flavin is thought to facilitate catalysis.The closely related histamine dehydrogenase catalyzes oxidative deamination of histamine.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦‡¢€0€0€ €‚–cd02930, DCR_FMN, 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase (DCR) FMN-binding domain. DCR in E. coli is an iron-sulfur flavoenzyme which contains FMN, FAD, and a 4Fe-4S cluster. It is also a monomer, unlike that of its eukaryotic counterparts which form homotetramers and lack the flavin and iron-sulfur cofactors. Metabolism of unsaturated fatty acids requires auxiliary enzymes in addition to those used in b-oxidation. After a given number of cycles through the b-oxidation pathway, those unsaturated fatty acyl-CoAs with double bonds at even-numbered carbon positions contain 2-trans, 4-cis double bonds that can not be modified by enoyl-CoA hydratase. DCR utilizes NADPH to remove the C4-C5 double bond. DCR can catalyze the reduction of both natural fatty acids with cis double bonds, as well as substrates containing trans double bonds. The reaction is initiated by hybrid transfer from NADPH to FAD, which in turn transfers electrons, one at a time, to FMN via the 4Fe-4S cluster. The fully reduced FMN provides a hydrid ion to the C5 atom of substrate, and Tyr and His are proposed to form a catalytic dyad that protonates the C4 atom of the substrate and completes the reaction.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦ˆ¢€0€0€ €‚Žcd02931, ER_like_FMN, Enoate reductase (ER)-like FMN-binding domain. Enoate reductase catalyzes the NADH-dependent reduction of carbon-carbon double bonds of several molecules, including nonactivated 2-enoates, alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes, cyclic ketones, and methylketones. ERs are similar to 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase from E. coli and to the old yellow enzyme from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦‰¢€0€0€ €‚ecd02932, OYE_YqiM_FMN, Old yellow enzyme (OYE) YqjM-like FMN binding domain. YqjM is involved in the oxidative stress response of Bacillus subtilis. Like the other OYE members, each monomer of YqjM contains FMN as a non-covalently bound cofactor and uses NADPH as a reducing agent. The YqjM enzyme exists as a homotetramer that is assembled as a dimer of catalytically dependent dimers, while other OYE members exist only as monomers or dimers. Moreover, the protein displays a shared active site architecture where an arginine finger at the COOH terminus of one monomer extends into the active site of the adjacent monomer and is directly involved in substrate recognition. Another remarkable difference in the binding of the ligand in YqjM is represented by the contribution of the NH2-terminal tyrosine instead of a COOH-terminal tyrosine in OYE and its homologs.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦Š¢€0€0€ €‚:cd02933, OYE_like_FMN, Old yellow enzyme (OYE)-like FMN binding domain. OYE was the first flavin-dependent enzyme identified, however its true physiological role remains elusive to this day. Each monomer of OYE contains FMN as a non-covalently bound cofactor, uses NADPH as a reducing agent with oxygens, quinones, and alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones, and can act as electron acceptors in the catalytic reaction. Members of OYE family include 12-oxophytodienoate reductase, pentaerythritol tetranitrate reductase, morphinone reductase, and related enzymes.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦‹¢€0€0€ €‚Ócd02940, DHPD_FMN, Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DHPD) FMN-binding domain. DHPD catalyzes the first step in pyrimidine degradation: the NADPH-dependent reduction of uracil and thymine to the corresponding 5,6-dihydropyrimidines. DHPD contains two FAD, two FMN, and eight [4Fe-4S] clusters, arranged in two electron transfer chains that pass the dimer interface twice. Two of the Fe-S clusters show a hitherto unobserved coordination involving a glutamine residue.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦Œ¢€0€0€ €‚Ycd02947, TRX_family, TRX family; composed of two groups: Group I, which includes proteins that exclusively encode a TRX domain; and Group II, which are composed of fusion proteins of TRX and additional domains. Group I TRX is a small ancient protein that alter the redox state of target proteins via the reversible oxidation of an active site dithiol, present in a CXXC motif, partially exposed at the protein's surface. TRX reduces protein disulfide bonds, resulting in a disulfide bond at its active site. Oxidized TRX is converted to the active form by TRX reductase, using reducing equivalents derived from either NADPH or ferredoxins. By altering their redox state, TRX regulates the functions of at least 30 target proteins, some of which are enzymes and transcription factors. It also plays an important role in the defense against oxidative stress by directly reducing hydrogen peroxide and certain radicals, and by serving as a reductant for peroxiredoxins. At least two major types of functional TRXs have been reported in most organisms; in eukaryotes, they are located in the cytoplasm and the mitochondria. Higher plants contain more types (at least 20 TRX genes have been detected in the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana), two of which (types f amd m) are located in the same compartment, the chloroplast. Also included in the alignment are TRX-like domains which show sequence homology to TRX but do not contain the redox active CXXC motif. Group II proteins, in addition to either a redox active TRX or a TRX-like domain, also contain additional domains, which may or may not possess homology to known proteins.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦¢€0€0€ €‚cd02948, TRX_NDPK, TRX domain, TRX and NDP-kinase (NDPK) fusion protein family; most members of this group are fusion proteins which contain one redox active TRX domain containing a CXXC motif and three NDPK domains, and are characterized as intermediate chains (ICs) of axonemal outer arm dynein. Dyneins are molecular motors that generate force against microtubules to produce cellular movement, and are divided into two classes: axonemal and cytoplasmic. They are supramolecular complexes consisting of three protein groups classified according to size: dynein heavy, intermediate and light chains. Axonemal dyneins form two structures, the inner and outer arms, which are attached to doublet microtubules throughout the cilia and flagella. The human homolog is the sperm-specific Sptrx-2, presumed to be a component of the human sperm axoneme architecture. Included in this group is another human protein, TRX-like protein 2, a smaller fusion protein containing one TRX and one NDPK domain, which is also associated with microtubular structures. The other members of this group are hypothetical insect proteins containing a TRX domain and outer arm dynein light chains (14 and 16kDa) of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Using standard assays, the fusion proteins have shown no TRX enzymatic activity.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦Ž¢€0€0€ €‚ªcd02949, TRX_NTR, TRX domain, novel NADPH thioredoxin reductase (NTR) family; composed of fusion proteins found only in oxygenic photosynthetic organisms containing both TRX and NTR domains. The TRX domain functions as a protein disulfide reductase via the reversible oxidation of an active center dithiol present in a CXXC motif, while the NTR domain functions as a reductant to oxidized TRX. The fusion protein is bifunctional, showing both TRX and NTR activities, but it is not an independent NTR/TRX system. In plants, the protein is found exclusively in shoots and mature leaves and is localized in the chloroplast. It is involved in plant protection against oxidative stress.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦¢€0€0€ €‚™cd02950, TxlA, TRX-like protein A (TxlA) family; TxlA was originally isolated from the cyanobacterium Synechococcus. It is found only in oxygenic photosynthetic organisms. TRX is a small enzyme that participate in redox reactions, via the reversible oxidation of an active site dithiol present in a CXXC motif. Disruption of the txlA gene suggests that the protein is involved in the redox regulation of the structure and function of photosynthetic apparatus. The plant homolog (designated as HCF164) is localized in the chloroplast and is involved in the assembly of the cytochrome b6f complex, which takes a central position in photosynthetic electron transport.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦¢€0€0€ €‚Acd02951, SoxW, SoxW family; SoxW is a bacterial periplasmic TRX, containing a redox active CXXC motif, encoded by a genetic locus (sox operon) involved in thiosulfate oxidation. Sulfur bacteria oxidize sulfur compounds to provide reducing equivalents for carbon dioxide fixation during autotrophic growth and the respiratory electron transport chain. It is unclear what the role of SoxW is, since it has been found to be dispensable in the oxidation of thiosulfate to sulfate. SoxW is specifically kept in the reduced state by SoxV, which is essential in thiosulfate oxidation.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦‘¢€0€0€ €‚Äcd02952, TRP14_like, Human TRX-related protein 14 (TRP14)-like family; composed of proteins similar to TRP14, a 14kD cytosolic protein that shows disulfide reductase activity in vitro with a different substrate specificity compared with another human cytosolic protein, TRX1. TRP14 catalyzes the reduction of small disulfide-containing peptides but does not reduce disulfides of ribonucleotide reductase, peroxiredoxin and methionine sulfoxide reductase, which are TRX1 substrates. TRP14 also plays a role in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha signaling pathways, distinct from that of TRX1. Its depletion promoted TNF-alpha induced activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase and mitogen-activated protein kinases.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦’¢€0€0€ €‚rcd02953, DsbDgamma, DsbD gamma family; DsbD gamma is the C-terminal periplasmic domain of the bacterial protein DsbD. It contains a CXXC motif in a TRX fold and shuttles the reducing potential from the membrane domain (DsbD beta) to the N-terminal periplasmic domain (DsbD alpha). DsbD beta, a transmembrane domain comprising of eight helices, acquires its reducing potential from the cytoplasmic thioredoxin. DsbD alpha transfers the acquired reducing potential from DsbD gamma to target proteins such as the periplasmic protein disulphide isomerases, DsbC and DsbG. This flow of reducing potential from the cytoplasm through DsbD allows DsbC and DsbG to act as isomerases in the oxidizing environment of the bacterial periplasm. DsbD also transfers reducing potential from the cytoplasm to specific reductases in the periplasm which are involved in the maturation of cytochromes.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦“¢€0€0€ €‚cd02954, DIM1, Dim1 family; Dim1 is also referred to as U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle (snRNP)-specific 15kD protein. It is a component of U5 snRNP, which pre-assembles with U4/U6 snRNPs to form a [U4/U6:U5] tri-snRNP complex required for pre-mRNA splicing. Dim1 interacts with multiple splicing-associated proteins, suggesting that it functions at multiple control points in the splicing of pre-mRNA as part of a large spliceosomal complex involving many protein-protein interactions. U5 snRNP contains seven core proteins (common to all snRNPs) and nine U5-specific proteins, one of which is Dim1. Dim1 adopts a thioredoxin fold but does not contain the redox active CXXC motif. It is essential for G2/M phase transition, as a consequence to its role in pre-mRNA splicing.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦”¢€0€0€ €‚õcd02955, SSP411, TRX domain, SSP411 protein family; members of this family are highly conserved proteins present in eukaryotes, bacteria and archaea, about 600-800 amino acids in length, which contain a TRX domain with a redox active CXXC motif. The human/rat protein, called SSP411, is specifically expressed in the testis in an age-dependent manner. The SSP411 mRNA is increased during spermiogenesis and is localized in round and elongated spermatids, suggesting a function in fertility regulation.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦•¢€0€0€ €Àcd02956, ybbN, ybbN protein family; ybbN is a hypothetical protein containing a redox-inactive TRX-like domain. Its gene has been sequenced from several gammaproteobacteria and actinobacteria.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦–¢€0€0€ €‚³cd02957, Phd_like, Phosducin (Phd)-like family; composed of Phd and Phd-like proteins (PhLP), characterized as cytosolic regulators of G protein functions. Phd and PhLPs specifically bind G protein betagamma (Gbg)-subunits with high affinity, resulting in the solubilization of Gbg from the plasma membrane and impeding G protein-mediated signal transduction by inhibiting the formation of a functional G protein trimer (G protein alphabetagamma). Phd also inhibits the GTPase activity of G protein alpha. Phd can be phosphorylated by protein kinase A and G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2, leading to its inactivation. Phd was originally isolated from the retina, where it is highly expressed and has been implicated to play an important role in light adaptation. It is also found in the pineal gland, liver, spleen, striated muscle and the brain. The C-terminal domain of Phd adopts a thioredoxin fold, but it does not contain a CXXC motif. Phd interacts with G protein beta mostly through the N-terminal helical domain. Also included in this family is a PhLP characterized as a viral inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP)-associated factor, named VIAF, that functions in caspase activation during apoptosis.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦—¢€0€0€ €‚wcd02958, UAS, UAS family; UAS is a domain of unknown function. Most members of this family are uncharacterized proteins with similarity to FAS-associated factor 1 (FAF1) and ETEA because of the presence of a UAS domain N-terminal to a ubiquitin-associated UBX domain. FAF1 is a longer protein, compared to the other members of this family, having additional N-terminal domains, a ubiquitin-associated UBA domain and a nuclear targeting domain. FAF1 is an apoptotic signaling molecule that acts downstream in the Fas signal transduction pathway. It interacts with the cytoplasmic domain of Fas, but not to a Fas mutant that is deficient in signal transduction. ETEA is the protein product of a highly expressed gene in T-cells and eosinophils of atopic dermatitis patients. The presence of the ubiquitin-associated UBX domain in the proteins of this family suggests the possibility of their involvement in ubiquitination. Recently, FAF1 has been shown to interact with valosin-containing protein (VCP), which is involved in the ubiquitin-proteosome pathway. Some members of this family are uncharacterized proteins containing only a UAS domain.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦˜¢€0€0€ €‚Ÿcd02959, ERp19, Endoplasmic reticulum protein 19 (ERp19) family; ERp19 is also known as ERp18, a protein located in the ER containing one redox active TRX domain. Denaturation studies indicate that the reduced form is more stable than the oxidized form, suggesting that the protein is involved in disulfide bond formation. In vitro, ERp19 has been shown to possess thiol-disulfide oxidase activity which is dependent on the presence of both active site cysteines. Although described as protein disulfide isomerase (PDI)-like, the protein does not complement for PDI activity. ERp19 shows a wide tissue distribution but is most abundant in liver, testis, heart and kidney.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦™¢€0€0€ €‚Æcd02960, AGR, Anterior Gradient (AGR) family; members of this family are similar to secreted proteins encoded by the cement gland-specific genes XAG-1 and XAG-2, expressed in the anterior region of dorsal ectoderm of Xenopus. They are implicated in the formation of the cement gland and the induction of forebrain fate. The human homologs, hAG-2 and hAG-3, are secreted proteins associated with estrogen-positive breast tumors. Yeast two-hybrid studies identified the metastasis-associated C4.4a protein and dystroglycan as binding partners, indicating possible roles in the development and progression of breast cancer. hAG-2 has also been implicated in prostate cancer. Its gene was cloned as an androgen-inducible gene and it was shown to be overexpressed in prostate cancer cells at the mRNA and protein levels. AGR proteins contain one conserved cysteine corresponding to the first cysteine in the CXXC motif of TRX. They show high sequence similarity to ERp19.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦š¢€0€0€ €‚õcd02961, PDI_a_family, Protein Disulfide Isomerase (PDIa) family, redox active TRX domains; composed of eukaryotic proteins involved in oxidative protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by acting as catalysts and folding assistants. Members of this family include PDI and PDI-related proteins like ERp72, ERp57 (or ERp60), ERp44, P5, PDIR, ERp46 and the transmembrane PDIs. PDI, ERp57, ERp72, P5, PDIR and ERp46 are all oxidases, catalyzing the formation of disulfide bonds of newly synthesized polypeptides in the ER. They also exhibit reductase activity in acting as isomerases to correct any non-native disulfide bonds, as well as chaperone activity to prevent protein aggregation and facilitate the folding of newly synthesized proteins. These proteins usually contain multiple copies of a redox active TRX (a) domain containing a CXXC motif, and may also contain one or more redox inactive TRX-like (b) domains. Only one a domain is required for the oxidase function but multiple copies are necessary for the isomerase function. The different types of PDIs may show different substrate specificities and tissue-specific expression, or may be induced by stress. PDIs are in their reduced form at steady state and are oxidized to the active form by Ero1, which is localized in the ER through ERp44. Some members of this family also contain a DnaJ domain in addition to the redox active a domains; examples are ERdj5 and Pfj2. Also included in the family is the redox inactive N-terminal TRX-like domain of ERp29.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦›¢€0€0€ €‚scd02962, TMX2, TMX2 family; composed of proteins similar to human TMX2, a 372-amino acid TRX-related transmembrane protein, identified and characterized through the cloning of its cDNA from a human fetal library. It contains a TRX domain but the redox active CXXC motif is replaced with SXXC. Sequence analysis predicts that TMX2 may be a Type I membrane protein, with its C-terminal half protruding on the luminal side of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In addition to the TRX domain, transmembrane region and ER-retention signal, TMX2 also contains a Myb DNA-binding domain repeat signature and a dileucine motif in the tail.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦œ¢€0€0€ €‚Îcd02963, TRX_DnaJ, TRX domain, DnaJ domain containing protein family; composed of uncharacterized proteins of about 500-800 amino acids, containing an N-terminal DnaJ domain followed by one redox active TRX domain. DnaJ is a member of the 40 kDa heat-shock protein (Hsp40) family of molecular chaperones, which regulate the activity of Hsp70s. TRX is involved in the redox regulation of many protein substrates through the reduction of disulfide bonds. TRX has been implicated to catalyse the reduction of Hsp33, a chaperone holdase that binds to unfolded protein intermediates. The presence of DnaJ and TRX domains in members of this family suggests that they could be involved in a redox-regulated chaperone network.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦¢€0€0€ €‚mcd02964, TryX_like_family, Tryparedoxin (TryX)-like family; composed of TryX and related proteins including nucleoredoxin (NRX), rod-derived cone viability factor (RdCVF) and the nematode homolog described as a 16-kD class of TRX. Most members of this family, except RdCVF, are protein disulfide oxidoreductases containing an active site CXXC motif, similar to TRX.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦ž¢€0€0€ €‚Ücd02965, HyaE, HyaE family; HyaE is also called HupG and HoxO. They are proteins serving a critical role in the assembly of multimeric [NiFe] hydrogenases, the enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of molecular hydrogen to enable microorganisms to utilize hydrogen as the sole energy source. The E. coli HyaE protein is a chaperone that specifically interacts with the twin-arginine translocation (Tat) signal peptide of the [NiFe] hydrogenase-1 beta subunit precursor. Tat signal peptides target precursor proteins to the Tat protein export system, which facilitates the transport of fully folded proteins across the inner membrane. HyaE may be involved in regulating the traffic of [NiFe] hydrogenase-1 on the Tat transport pathway.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦Ÿ¢€0€0€ €‚“cd02966, TlpA_like_family, TlpA-like family; composed of TlpA, ResA, DsbE and similar proteins. TlpA, ResA and DsbE are bacterial protein disulfide reductases with important roles in cytochrome maturation. They are membrane-anchored proteins with a soluble TRX domain containing a CXXC motif located in the periplasm. The TRX domains of this family contain an insert, approximately 25 residues in length, which correspond to an extra alpha helix and a beta strand when compared with TRX. TlpA catalyzes an essential reaction in the biogenesis of cytochrome aa3, while ResA and DsbE are essential proteins in cytochrome c maturation. Also included in this family are proteins containing a TlpA-like TRX domain with domain architectures similar to E. coli DipZ protein, and the N-terminal TRX domain of PilB protein from Neisseria which acts as a disulfide reductase that can recylce methionine sulfoxide reductases.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦ ¢€0€0€ €‚Ìcd02967, mauD, Methylamine utilization (mau) D family; mauD protein is the translation product of the mauD gene found in methylotrophic bacteria, which are able to use methylamine as a sole carbon source and a nitrogen source. mauD is an essential accessory protein for the biosynthesis of methylamine dehydrogenase (MADH), the enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of methylamine and other primary amines. MADH possesses an alpha2beta2 subunit structure; the alpha subunit is also referred to as the large subunit. Each beta (small) subunit contains a tryptophan tryptophylquinone (TTQ) prosthetic group. Accessory proteins are essential for the proper transport of MADH to the periplasm, TTQ synthesis and the formation of several structural disulfide bonds. Bacterial mutants containing an insertion on the mauD gene were unable to grow on methylamine as a sole carbon source, were found to lack the MADH small subunit and had decreased amounts of the MADH large subunit.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦¡¢€0€0€ €‚mcd02968, SCO, SCO (an acronym for Synthesis of Cytochrome c Oxidase) family; composed of proteins similar to Sco1, a membrane-anchored protein possessing a soluble domain with a TRX fold. Members of this family are required for the proper assembly of cytochrome c oxidase (COX). They contain a metal binding motif, typically CXXXC, which is located in a flexible loop. COX, the terminal enzyme in the respiratory chain, is imbedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane of all eukaryotes and in the plasma membrane of some prokaryotes. It is composed of two subunits, COX I and COX II. It has been proposed that Sco1 specifically delivers copper to the CuA site, a dinuclear copper center, of the COX II subunit. Mutations in human Sco1 and Sco2 cause fatal infantile hepatoencephalomyopathy and cardioencephalomyopathy, respectively. Both disorders are associated with severe COX deficiency in affected tissues. More recently, it has been argued that the redox sensitivity of the copper binding properties of Sco1 implies that it participates in signaling events rather than functioning as a chaperone that transfers copper to COX II.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦¢¢€0€0€ €‚æcd02969, PRX_like1, Peroxiredoxin (PRX)-like 1 family; hypothetical proteins that show sequence similarity to PRXs. Members of this group contain a conserved cysteine that aligns to the first cysteine in the CXXC motif of TRX. This does not correspond to the peroxidatic cysteine found in PRXs, which aligns to the second cysteine in the CXXC motif of TRX. In addition, these proteins do not contain the other two conserved residues of the catalytic triad of PRX. PRXs confer a protective antioxidant role in cells through their peroxidase activity in which hydrogen peroxide, peroxynitrate, and organic hydroperoxides are reduced and detoxified using reducing equivalents derived from either thioredoxin, glutathione, trypanothione and AhpF.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦£¢€0€0€ €‚/cd02970, PRX_like2, Peroxiredoxin (PRX)-like 2 family; hypothetical proteins that show sequence similarity to PRXs. Members of this group contain a CXXC motif, similar to TRX. The second cysteine in the motif corresponds to the peroxidatic cysteine of PRX, however, these proteins do not contain the other two residues of the catalytic triad of PRX. PRXs confer a protective antioxidant role in cells through their peroxidase activity in which hydrogen peroxide, peroxynitrate, and organic hydroperoxides are reduced and detoxified using reducing equivalents derived from either thioredoxin, glutathione, trypanothione and AhpF. TRXs alter the redox state of target proteins by catalyzing the reduction of their disulfide bonds via the CXXC motif using reducing equivalents derived from either NADPH or ferredoxins.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦¤¢€0€0€ €‚cd02971, PRX_family, Peroxiredoxin (PRX) family; composed of the different classes of PRXs including many proteins originally known as bacterioferritin comigratory proteins (BCP), based on their electrophoretic mobility before their function was identified. PRXs are thiol-specific antioxidant (TSA) proteins also known as TRX peroxidases and alkyl hydroperoxide reductase C22 (AhpC) proteins. They confer a protective antioxidant role in cells through their peroxidase activity in which hydrogen peroxide, peroxynitrate, and organic hydroperoxides are reduced and detoxified using reducing equivalents derived from either TRX, glutathione, trypanothione and AhpF. They are distinct from other peroxidases in that they have no cofactors such as metals or prosthetic groups. The first step of catalysis, common to all PRXs, is the nucleophilic attack by the catalytic cysteine (also known as the peroxidatic cysteine) on the peroxide leading to cleavage of the oxygen-oxygen bond and the formation of a cysteine sulfenic acid intermediate. The second step of the reaction, the resolution of the intermediate, distinguishes the different types of PRXs. The presence or absence of a second cysteine (the resolving cysteine) classifies PRXs as either belonging to the 2-cys or 1-cys type. The resolving cysteine of 2-cys PRXs is either on the same chain (atypical) or on the second chain (typical) of a functional homodimer. Structural and motif analysis of this growing family supports the need for a new classification system. The peroxidase activity of PRXs is regulated in vivo by irreversible cysteine over-oxidation into a sulfinic acid, phosphorylation and limited proteolysis.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦¥¢€0€0€ €‚hcd02972, DsbA_family, DsbA family; consists of DsbA and DsbA-like proteins, including DsbC, DsbG, glutathione (GSH) S-transferase kappa (GSTK), 2-hydroxychromene-2-carboxylate (HCCA) isomerase, an oxidoreductase (FrnE) presumed to be involved in frenolicin biosynthesis, a 27-kDa outer membrane protein, and similar proteins. Members of this family contain a redox active CXXC motif (except GSTK and HCCA isomerase) imbedded in a TRX fold, and an alpha helical insert of about 75 residues (shorter in DsbC and DsbG) relative to TRX. DsbA is involved in the oxidative protein folding pathway in prokaryotes, catalyzing disulfide bond formation of proteins secreted into the bacterial periplasm. DsbC and DsbG function as protein disulfide isomerases and chaperones to correct non-native disulfide bonds formed by DsbA and prevent aggregation of incorrectly folded proteins.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦¦¢€0€0€ €‚Tcd02973, TRX_GRX_like, Thioredoxin (TRX)-Glutaredoxin (GRX)-like family; composed of archaeal and bacterial proteins that show similarity to both TRX and GRX, including the C-terminal TRX-fold subdomain of Pyrococcus furiosus protein disulfide oxidoreductase (PfPDO). All members contain a redox-active CXXC motif and may function as PDOs. The archaeal proteins Mj0307 and Mt807 show structures more similar to GRX, but activities more similar to TRX. Some members of the family are similar to PfPDO in that they contain a second CXXC motif located in a second TRX-fold subdomain at the N-terminus; the superimposable N- and C-terminal TRX subdomains form a compact structure. PfPDO is postulated to be the archaeal counterpart of bacterial DsbA and eukaryotic protein disulfide isomerase (PDI). The C-terminal CXXC motif of PfPDO is required for its oxidase, reductase and isomerase activities. Also included in the family is the C-terminal TRX-fold subdomain of the N-terminal domain (NTD) of bacterial AhpF, which has a similar fold as PfPDO with two TRX-fold subdomains but without the second CXXC motif.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦§¢€0€0€ €‚ýcd02974, AhpF_NTD_N, Alkyl hydroperoxide reductase F subunit (AhpF) N-terminal domain (NTD) family, N-terminal TRX-fold subdomain; AhpF is a homodimeric flavoenzyme which catalyzes the NADH-dependent reduction of the peroxiredoxin AhpC, which in turn catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides. AhpF contains an NTD forming two contiguous TRX-fold subdomain similar to Pyrococcus furiosus protein disulfide oxidoreductase (PfPDO). It also contains a catalytic core similar to TRX reductase containing FAD and NADH binding domains with an active site disulfide. The proposed mechanism of action of AhpF is similar to a TRX/TRX reductase system. The flow of reducing equivalents goes from NADH -> catalytic core of AhpF -> NTD of AhpF -> AhpC -> peroxide substrates. The N-terminal TRX-fold subdomain of AhpF NTD is redox inactive, but is proposed to contain an important residue that aids in the catalytic function of the redox-active CXXC motif contained in the C-terminal TRX-fold subdomain.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦¨¢€0€0€ €‚Ícd02975, PfPDO_like_N, Pyrococcus furiosus protein disulfide oxidoreductase (PfPDO)-like family, N-terminal TRX-fold subdomain; composed of proteins with similarity to PfPDO, a redox active thermostable protein believed to be the archaeal counterpart of bacterial DsbA and eukaryotic protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), which are both involved in oxidative protein folding. PfPDO contains two redox active CXXC motifs in two contiguous TRX-fold subdomains. The active site in the N-terminal TRX-fold subdomain is required for isomerase but not for reductase activity of PfPDO. The exclusive presence of PfPDO-like proteins in extremophiles may suggest that they have a special role in adaptation to extreme conditions.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦©¢€0€0€ €‚.cd02976, NrdH, NrdH-redoxin (NrdH) family; NrdH is a small monomeric protein with a conserved redox active CXXC motif within a TRX fold, characterized by a glutaredoxin (GRX)-like sequence and TRX-like activity profile. In vitro, it displays protein disulfide reductase activity that is dependent on TRX reductase, not glutathione (GSH). It is part of the NrdHIEF operon, where NrdEF codes for class Ib ribonucleotide reductase (RNR-Ib), an efficient enzyme at low oxygen levels. Under these conditions when GSH is mostly conjugated to spermidine, NrdH can still function and act as a hydrogen donor for RNR-Ib. It has been suggested that the NrdHEF system may be the oldest RNR reducing system, capable of functioning in a microaerophilic environment, where GSH was not yet available. NrdH from Corynebacterium ammoniagenes can form domain-swapped dimers, although it is unknown if this happens in vivo. Domain-swapped dimerization, which results in the blocking of the TRX reductase binding site, could be a mechanism for regulating the oxidation state of the protein.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦ª¢€0€0€ €‚Úcd02977, ArsC_family, Arsenate Reductase (ArsC) family; composed of TRX-fold arsenic reductases and similar proteins including the transcriptional regulator, Spx. ArsC catalyzes the reduction of arsenate [As(V)] to arsenite [As(III)], using reducing equivalents derived from glutathione (GSH) via glutaredoxin (GRX), through a single catalytic cysteine. This family of predominantly bacterial enzymes is unrelated to two other families of arsenate reductases which show similarity to low-molecular-weight acid phosphatases and phosphotyrosyl phosphatases. Spx is a general regulator that exerts negative and positive control over transcription initiation by binding to the C-terminal domain of the alpha subunit of RNA polymerase.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦«¢€0€0€ €‚(cd02978, KaiB_like, KaiB-like family; composed of the circadian clock proteins, KaiB and the N-terminal KaiB-like sensory domain of SasA. KaiB is an essential protein in maintaining circadian rhythm. It was originally discovered from the cyanobacterium Synechococcus as part of the circadian clock gene cluster, kaiABC. KaiB attenuates KaiA-enhanced KaiC autokinase activity by interacting with KaiA-KaiC complexes in a circadian fashion. KaiB is membrane-associated as well as cytosolic. The amount of membrane-associated protein peaks in the evening (at circadian time (CT) 12-16) while the cytosolic form peaks later (at CT 20). The rhythmic localization of KaiB may function in regulating the formation of Kai complexes. SasA is a sensory histidine kinase which associates with KaiC. Although it is not an essential oscillator component, it is important in enhancing kaiABC expression and is important in metabolic growth control under day/night cycle conditions. SasA contains an N-terminal sensory domain with a TRX fold which is involved in the SasA-KaiC interaction. This domain shows high sequence similarity with KaiB. However, the KaiB structure does not show a classical TRX fold. The N-terminal half of KaiB shares the same beta-alpha-beta topology as TRX, but the topology of its C-terminal half diverges.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦¬¢€0€0€ €‚5cd02979, PHOX_C, FAD-dependent Phenol hydoxylase (PHOX) family, C-terminal TRX-fold domain; composed of proteins similar to PHOX from the aerobic topsoil yeast Trichosporon cutaneum. PHOX is a flavoprotein monooxygenase that catalyzes the hydroxylation of phenol and simple phenol derivatives in the ortho position with the consumption of NADPH and oxygen. This is the first step in the biodegradation and detoxification of phenolic compounds. PHOX contains three domains. The substrate and FAD/NAD(P) binding sites are contained in the first two domains, which adopt a complicated folding pattern. The third or C-terminal domain contains a TRX fold and is involved in dimerization. The functional unit of PHOX is a dimer, although active tetramers of the recombinant enzyme can be isolated when overproduced in bacteria.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦­¢€0€0€ €‚ucd02980, TRX_Fd_family, Thioredoxin (TRX)-like [2Fe-2S] Ferredoxin (Fd) family; composed of [2Fe-2S] Fds with a TRX fold (TRX-like Fds) and proteins containing domains similar to TRX-like Fd including formate dehydrogenases, NAD-reducing hydrogenases and the subunit E of NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (NuoE). TRX-like Fds are soluble low-potential electron carriers containing a single [2Fe-2S] cluster. The exact role of TRX-like Fd is still unclear. It has been suggested that it may be involved in nitrogen fixation. Its homologous domains in large redox enzymes (such as Nuo and hydrogenases) function as electron carriers.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦®¢€0€0€ €‚ccd02981, PDI_b_family, Protein Disulfide Isomerase (PDIb) family, redox inactive TRX-like domain b; composed of eukaryotic proteins involved in oxidative protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by acting as catalysts and folding assistants. Members of this family include PDI, calsequestrin and other PDI-related proteins like ERp72, ERp57, ERp44 and PDIR. PDI, ERp57 (or ERp60), ERp72 and PDIR are all oxidases, catalyzing the formation of disulfide bonds of newly synthesized polypeptides in the ER. They also exhibit reductase activity in acting as isomerases to correct any non-native disulfide bonds, as well as chaperone activity to prevent protein aggregation and facilitate the folding of newly synthesized proteins. These proteins contain multiple copies of a redox active TRX (a) domain containing a CXXC motif, and one or more redox inactive TRX-like (b) domains. The molecular structure of PDI is abb'a'. Also included in this family is the PDI-related protein ERp27, which contains only redox-inactive TRX-like (b and b') domains. The redox inactive b domains are implicated in substrate recognition.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦¯¢€0€0€ €‚cd02982, PDI_b'_family, Protein Disulfide Isomerase (PDIb') family, redox inactive TRX-like domain b'; composed of eukaryotic proteins involved in oxidative protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by acting as catalysts and folding assistants. Members of this family include PDI, calsequestrin and other PDI-related proteins like ERp72, ERp57 (or ERp60), ERp44, P5 and PDIR. PDI, ERp57, ERp72, P5 and PDIR are all oxidases, catalyzing the formation of disulfide bonds of newly synthesized polypeptides in the ER. They also exhibit reductase activity in acting as isomerases to correct any non-native disulfide bonds, as well as chaperone activity to prevent protein aggregation and facilitate the folding of newly synthesized proteins. These proteins contain multiple copies of a redox active TRX (a) domain containing a CXXC motif, and one or more redox inactive TRX-like (b) domains. The molecular structure of PDI is abb'a'. Also included in this family is the PDI-related protein ERp27, which contains only redox-inactive TRX-like (b and b') domains. The redox inactive domains are implicated in substrate recognition with the b' domain serving as the primary substrate binding site. Only the b' domain is necessary for the binding of small peptide substrates. In addition to the b' domain, other domains are required for the binding of larger polypeptide substrates. The b' domain is also implicated in chaperone activity.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦°¢€0€0€ €‚“cd02983, P5_C, P5 family, C-terminal redox inactive TRX-like domain; P5 is a protein disulfide isomerase (PDI)-related protein with a domain structure of aa'b (where a and a' are redox active TRX domains and b is a redox inactive TRX-like domain). Like PDI, P5 is located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and displays both isomerase and chaperone activities, which are independent of each other. Compared to PDI, the isomerase and chaperone activities of P5 are lower. The first cysteine in the CXXC motif of both redox active domains in P5 is necessary for isomerase activity. The P5 gene was first isolated as an amplified gene from a hydroxyurea-resistant hamster cell line. The zebrafish P5 homolog has been implicated to play a critical role in establishing left/right asymmetries in the embryonic midline. The C-terminal domain is likely involved in substrate binding, similar to the b and b' domains of PDI.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦±¢€0€0€ €‚`cd02984, TRX_PICOT, TRX domain, PICOT (for PKC-interacting cousin of TRX) subfamily; PICOT is a protein that interacts with protein kinase C (PKC) theta, a calcium independent PKC isoform selectively expressed in skeletal muscle and T lymphocytes. PICOT contains an N-terminal TRX-like domain, which does not contain the catalytic CXXC motif, followed by one to three glutaredoxin domains. The TRX-like domain is required for interaction with PKC theta. PICOT inhibits the activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase and the transcription factors, AP-1 and NF-kB, induced by PKC theta or T-cell activating stimuli.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦²¢€0€0€ €‚Kcd02985, TRX_CDSP32, TRX family, chloroplastic drought-induced stress protein of 32 kD (CDSP32); CDSP32 is composed of two TRX domains, a C-terminal TRX domain which contains a redox active CXXC motif and an N-terminal TRX-like domain which contains an SXXS sequence instead of the redox active motif. CDSP32 is a stress-inducible TRX, i.e., it acts as a TRX by reducing protein disulfides and is induced by environmental and oxidative stress conditions. It plays a critical role in plastid defense against oxidative damage, a role related to its function as a physiological electron donor to BAS1, a plastidic 2-cys peroxiredoxin. Plants lacking CDSP32 exhibit decreased photosystem II photochemical efficiencies and chlorophyll retention compared to WT controls, as well as an increased proportion of BAS1 in its overoxidized monomeric form.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦³¢€0€0€ €‚ƒcd02986, DLP, Dim1 family, Dim1-like protein (DLP) subfamily; DLP is a novel protein which shares 38% sequence identity to Dim1. Like Dim1, it is also implicated in pre-mRNA splicing and cell cycle progression. DLP is located in the nucleus and has been shown to interact with the U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle (snRNP)-specific 102kD protein (or Prp6). Dim1 protein, also known as U5 snRNP-specific 15kD protein is a component of U5 snRNP, which pre-assembles with U4/U6 snRNPs to form a [U4/U6:U5] tri-snRNP complex required for pre-mRNA splicing. Dim1 adopts a thioredoxin fold but does not contain the redox active CXXC motif.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦´¢€0€0€ €‚Ùcd02987, Phd_like_Phd, Phosducin (Phd)-like family, Phd subfamily; Phd is a cytosolic regulator of G protein functions. It specifically binds G protein betagamma (Gbg)-subunits with high affinity, resulting in the solubilization of Gbg from the plasma membrane. This impedes the formation of a functional G protein trimer (G protein alphabetagamma), thereby inhibiting G protein-mediated signal transduction. Phd also inhibits the GTPase activity of G protein alpha. Phd can be phosphorylated by protein kinase A and G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2, leading to its inactivation. Phd was originally isolated from the retina, where it is highly expressed and has been implicated to play an important role in light adaptation. It is also found in the pineal gland, liver, spleen, striated muscle and the brain. The C-terminal domain of Phd adopts a thioredoxin fold, but it does not contain a CXXC motif. Phd interacts with G protein beta mostly through the N-terminal helical domain.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦µ¢€0€0€ €‚ècd02988, Phd_like_VIAF, Phosducin (Phd)-like family, Viral inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP)-associated factor (VIAF) subfamily; VIAF is a Phd-like protein that functions in caspase activation during apoptosis. It was identified as an IAP binding protein through a screen of a human B-cell library using a prototype IAP. VIAF lacks a consensus IAP binding motif and while it does not function as an IAP antagonist, it still plays a regulatory role in the complete activation of caspases. VIAF itself is a substrate for IAP-mediated ubiquitination, suggesting that it may be a target of IAPs in the prevention of cell death. The similarity of VIAF to Phd points to a potential role distinct from apoptosis regulation. Phd functions as a cytosolic regulator of G protein by specifically binding to G protein betagamma (Gbg)-subunits. The C-terminal domain of Phd adopts a thioredoxin fold, but it does not contain a CXXC motif. Phd interacts with G protein beta mostly through the N-terminal helical domain.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦¶¢€0€0€ €‚¹cd02989, Phd_like_TxnDC9, Phosducin (Phd)-like family, Thioredoxin (TRX) domain containing protein 9 (TxnDC9) subfamily; composed of predominantly uncharacterized eukaryotic proteins, containing a TRX-like domain without the redox active CXXC motif. The gene name for the human protein is TxnDC9. The two characterized members are described as Phd-like proteins, PLP1 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and PhLP3 of Dictyostelium discoideum. Gene disruption experiments show that both PLP1 and PhLP3 are non-essential proteins. Unlike Phd and most Phd-like proteins, members of this group do not contain the Phd N-terminal helical domain which is implicated in binding to the G protein betagamma subunit.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦·¢€0€0€ €‚~cd02990, UAS_FAF1, UAS family, FAS-associated factor 1 (FAF1) subfamily; FAF1 contains a UAS domain of unknown function N-terminal to a ubiquitin-associated UBX domain. FAF1 also contains ubiquitin-associated UBA and nuclear targeting domains, N-terminal to the UAS domain. FAF1 is an apoptotic signaling molecule that acts downstream in the Fas signal transduction pathway. It interacts with the cytoplasmic domain of Fas, but not to a Fas mutant that is deficient in signal transduction. It is widely expressed in adult and embryonic tissues, and in tumor cell lines, and is localized not only in the cytoplasm where it interacts with Fas, but also in the nucleus. FAF1 contains phosphorylation sites for protein kinase CK2 within the nuclear targeting domain. Phosphorylation influences nuclear localization of FAF1 but does not affect its potentiation of Fas-induced apoptosis. Other functions have also been attributed to FAF1. It inhibits nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB) by interfering with the nuclear translocation of the p65 subunit. FAF1 also interacts with valosin-containing protein (VCP), which is involved in the ubiquitin-proteosome pathway.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦¸¢€0€0€ €‚cd02991, UAS_ETEA, UAS family, ETEA subfamily; composed of proteins similar to human ETEA protein, the translation product of a highly expressed gene in the T-cells and eosinophils of atopic dermatitis patients compared with those of normal individuals. ETEA shows homology to Fas-associated factor 1 (FAF1); both containing UAS and UBX (ubiquitin-associated) domains. Compared to FAF1, however, ETEA lacks the ubiquitin-associated UBA domain and a nuclear targeting domain. The function of ETEA is still unknown. A yeast two-hybrid assay showed that it can interact with Fas. Because of its homology to FAF1, it is postulated that ETEA could be involved in modulating Fas-mediated apoptosis of T-cells and eosinophils of atopic dermatitis patients, making them more resistant to apoptosis.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦¹¢€0€0€ €‚Xcd02992, PDI_a_QSOX, PDIa family, Quiescin-sulfhydryl oxidase (QSOX) subfamily; QSOX is a eukaryotic protein containing an N-terminal redox active TRX domain, similar to that of PDI, and a small C-terminal flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-binding domain homologous to the yeast ERV1p protein. QSOX oxidizes thiol groups to disulfides like PDI, however, unlike PDI, this oxidation is accompanied by the reduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide. QSOX is localized in high concentrations in cells with heavy secretory load and prefers peptides and proteins as substrates, not monothiols like glutathione. Inside the cell, QSOX is found in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi. The flow of reducing equivalents in a QSOX-catalyzed reaction goes from the dithiol substrate -> dithiol of the QSOX TRX domain -> dithiols of the QSOX ERV1p domain -> FAD -> oxygen.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦º¢€0€0€ €‚Îcd02993, PDI_a_APS_reductase, PDIa family, 5'-Adenylylsulfate (APS) reductase subfamily; composed of plant-type APS reductases containing a C-terminal redox active TRX domain and an N-terminal reductase domain which is part of a superfamily that includes N type ATP PPases. APS reductase catalyzes the reduction of activated sulfate to sulfite, a key step in the biosynthesis of sulfur-containing metabolites. Sulfate is first activated by ATP sulfurylase, forming APS, which can be phosphorylated to 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS). Depending on the organism, either APS or PAPS can be used for sulfate reduction. Prokaryotes and fungi use PAPS, whereas plants use both APS and PAPS. Since plant-type APS reductase uses glutathione (GSH) as its electron donor, the C-terminal domain may function like glutaredoxin, a GSH-dependent member of the TRX superfamily. The flow of reducing equivalents goes from GSH -> C-terminal TRX domain -> N-terminal reductase domain -> APS. Plant-type APS reductase shows no homology to that of dissimilatory sulfate-reducing bacteria, which is an iron-sulfur flavoenzyme. Also included in the alignment is EYE2 from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a protein required for eyespot assembly.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦»¢€0€0€ €‚0cd02994, PDI_a_TMX, PDIa family, TMX subfamily; composed of proteins similar to the TRX-related human transmembrane protein, TMX. TMX is a type I integral membrane protein; the N-terminal redox active TRX domain is present in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen while the C-terminus is oriented towards the cytoplasm. It is expressed in many cell types and its active site motif (CPAC) is unique. In vitro, TMX reduces interchain disulfides of insulin and renatures inactive RNase containing incorrect disulfide bonds. The C. elegans homolog, DPY-11, is expressed only in the hypodermis and resides in the cytoplasm. It is required for body and sensory organ morphogeneis. Another uncharacterized TRX-related transmembrane protein, human TMX4, is included in the alignment. The active site sequence of TMX4 is CPSC.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦¼¢€0€0€ €‚¾cd02995, PDI_a_PDI_a'_C, PDIa family, C-terminal TRX domain (a') subfamily; composed of the C-terminal redox active a' domains of PDI, ERp72, ERp57 (or ERp60) and EFP1. PDI, ERp72 and ERp57 are endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident eukaryotic proteins involved in oxidative protein folding. They are oxidases, catalyzing the formation of disulfide bonds of newly synthesized polypeptides in the ER. They also exhibit reductase activity in acting as isomerases to correct any non-native disulfide bonds, as well as chaperone activity to prevent protein aggregation and facilitate the folding of newly synthesized proteins. PDI and ERp57 have the abb'a' domain structure (where a and a' are redox active TRX domains while b and b' are redox inactive TRX-like domains). PDI also contains an acidic region (c domain) after the a' domain that is absent in ERp57. ERp72 has an additional a domain at the N-terminus (a"abb'a' domain structure). ERp57 interacts with the lectin chaperones, calnexin and calreticulin, and specifically promotes the oxidative folding of glycoproteins, while PDI shows a wider substrate specificity. ERp72 associates with several ER chaperones and folding factors to form complexes in the ER that bind nascent proteins. EFP1 is a binding partner protein of thyroid oxidase, which is responsible for the generation of hydrogen peroxide, a crucial substrate of thyroperoxidase, which functions to iodinate thyroglobulin and synthesize thyroid hormones.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦½¢€0€0€ €‚xcd02996, PDI_a_ERp44, PDIa family, endoplasmic reticulum protein 44 (ERp44) subfamily; ERp44 is an ER-resident protein, induced during stress, involved in thiol-mediated ER retention. It contains an N-terminal TRX domain, similar to that of PDIa, with a CXFS motif followed by two redox inactive TRX-like domains, homologous to the b and b' domains of PDI. The CXFS motif in the N-terminal domain allows ERp44 to form stable reversible mixed disulfides with its substrates. Through this activity, ERp44 mediates the ER localization of Ero1alpha, a protein that oxidizes protein disulfide isomerases into their active form. ERp44 also prevents the secretion of unassembled cargo protein with unpaired cysteines. It also modulates the activity of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate type I receptor (IP3R1), an intracellular channel protein that mediates calcium release from the ER to the cytosol.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦¾¢€0€0€ €‚êcd02997, PDI_a_PDIR, PDIa family, PDIR subfamily; composed of proteins similar to human PDIR (for Protein Disulfide Isomerase Related). PDIR is composed of three redox active TRX (a) domains and an N-terminal redox inactive TRX-like (b) domain. Similar to PDI, it is involved in oxidative protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) through its isomerase and chaperone activities. These activities are lower compared to PDI, probably due to PDIR acting only on a subset of proteins. PDIR is preferentially expressed in cells actively secreting proteins and its expression is induced by stress. Similar to PDI, the isomerase and chaperone activities of PDIR are independent; CXXC mutants lacking isomerase activity retain chaperone activity.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦¿¢€0€0€ €‚²cd02998, PDI_a_ERp38, PDIa family, endoplasmic reticulum protein 38 (ERp38) subfamily; composed of proteins similar to the P5-like protein first isolated from alfalfa, which contains two redox active TRX (a) domains at the N-terminus, like human P5, and a C-terminal domain with homology to the C-terminal domain of ERp29, unlike human P5. The cDNA clone of this protein (named G1) was isolated from an alfalfa cDNA library by screening with human protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) cDNA. The G1 protein is constitutively expressed in all major organs of the plant and its expression is induced by treatment with tunicamycin, indicating that it may be a glucose-regulated protein. The G1 homolog in the eukaryotic social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is also described as a P5-like protein, which is located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) despite the absence of an ER-retrieval signal. G1 homologs from Aspergillus niger and Neurospora crassa have also been characterized, and are named TIGA and ERp38, respectively. Also included in the alignment is an atypical PDI from Leishmania donovani containing a single a domain, and the C-terminal a domain of a P5-like protein from Entamoeba histolytica.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦À¢€0€0€ €‚?cd02999, PDI_a_ERp44_like, PDIa family, endoplasmic reticulum protein 44 (ERp44)-like subfamily; composed of uncharacterized PDI-like eukaryotic proteins containing only one redox active TRX (a) domain with a CXXS motif, similar to ERp44. CXXS is still a redox active motif; however, the mixed disulfide formed with the substrate is more stable than those formed by CXXC motif proteins. PDI-related proteins are usually involved in the oxidative protein folding in the ER by acting as catalysts and folding assistants. ERp44 is involved in thiol-mediated retention in the ER.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦Á¢€0€0€ €‚ÿcd03000, PDI_a_TMX3, PDIa family, TMX3 subfamily; composed of eukaryotic proteins similar to human TMX3, a TRX related transmembrane protein containing one redox active TRX domain at the N-terminus and a classical ER retrieval sequence for type I transmembrane proteins at the C-terminus. The TMX3 transcript is found in a variety of tissues with the highest levels detected in skeletal muscle and the heart. In vitro, TMX3 showed oxidase activity albeit slightly lower than that of protein disulfide isomerase.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦Â¢€0€0€ €‚‡cd03001, PDI_a_P5, PDIa family, P5 subfamily; composed of eukaryotic proteins similar to human P5, a PDI-related protein with a domain structure of aa'b (where a and a' are redox active TRX domains and b is a redox inactive TRX-like domain). Like PDI, P5 is located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and displays both isomerase and chaperone activities, which are independent of each other. Compared to PDI, the isomerase and chaperone activities of P5 are lower. The first cysteine in the CXXC motif of both redox active domains in P5 is necessary for isomerase activity. The P5 gene was first isolated as an amplified gene from a hydroxyurea-resistant hamster cell line. The zebrafish P5 homolog has been implicated to play a critical role in establishing left/right asymmetries in the embryonic midline. Some members of this subfamily are P5-like proteins containing only one redox active TRX domain.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦Ã¢€0€0€ €‚cd03004, PDI_a_ERdj5_C, PDIa family, C-terminal ERdj5 subfamily; ERdj5, also known as JPDI and macrothioredoxin, is a protein containing an N-terminal DnaJ domain and four redox active TRX domains. This subfamily is composed of the three TRX domains located at the C-terminal half of the protein. ERdj5 is a ubiquitous protein localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and is abundant in secretory cells. It's transcription is induced during ER stress. It interacts with BiP through its DnaJ domain in an ATP-dependent manner. BiP, an ER-resident member of the Hsp70 chaperone family, functions in ER-associated degradation and protein translocation. Also included in the alignment is the single complete TRX domain of an uncharacterized protein from Tetraodon nigroviridis, which also contains a DnaJ domain at its N-terminus.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦Æ¢€0€0€ €‚Œcd03005, PDI_a_ERp46, PDIa family, endoplasmic reticulum protein 46 (ERp46) subfamily; ERp46 is an ER-resident protein containing three redox active TRX domains. Yeast complementation studies show that ERp46 can substitute for protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) function in vivo. It has been detected in many tissues, however, transcript and protein levels do not correlate in all tissues, suggesting regulation at a posttranscriptional level. An identical protein, named endoPDI, has been identified as an endothelial PDI that is highly expressed in the endothelium of tumors and hypoxic lesions. It has a protective effect on cells exposed to hypoxia.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦Ç¢€0€0€ €‚¨cd03006, PDI_a_EFP1_N, PDIa family, N-terminal EFP1 subfamily; EFP1 is a binding partner protein of thyroid oxidase (ThOX), also called Duox. ThOX proteins are responsible for the generation of hydrogen peroxide, a crucial substrate of thyroperoxidase, which functions to iodinate thyroglobulin and synthesize thyroid hormones. EFP1 was isolated through a yeast two-hybrid method using the EF-hand fragment of dog Duox1 as a bait. It could be one of the partners in the assembly of a multiprotein complex constituting the thyroid hydrogen peroxide generating system. EFP1 contains two TRX domains related to the redox active TRX domains of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI). This subfamily is composed of the N-terminal TRX domain of EFP1, which contains a CXXS sequence in place of the typical CXXC motif, similar to ERp44. The CXXS motif allows the formation of stable mixed disulfides, crucial for the ER-retention function of ERp44.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦È¢€0€0€ €‚tcd03007, PDI_a_ERp29_N, PDIa family, endoplasmic reticulum protein 29 (ERp29) subfamily; ERp29 is a ubiquitous ER-resident protein expressed in high levels in secretory cells. It forms homodimers and higher oligomers in vitro and in vivo. It contains a redox inactive TRX-like domain at the N-terminus, which is homologous to the redox active TRX (a) domains of PDI, and a C-terminal helical domain similar to the C-terminal domain of P5. The expression profile of ERp29 suggests a role in secretory protein production distinct from that of PDI. It has also been identified as a member of the thyroglobulin folding complex. The Drosophila homolog, Wind, is the product of windbeutel, an essential gene in the development of dorsal-ventral patterning. Wind is required for correct targeting of Pipe, a Golgi-resident type II transmembrane protein with homology to 2-O-sulfotransferase.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦É¢€0€0€ €‚cd03008, TryX_like_RdCVF, Tryparedoxin (TryX)-like family, Rod-derived cone viability factor (RdCVF) subfamily; RdCVF is a thioredoxin (TRX)-like protein specifically expressed in photoreceptors. RdCVF was isolated and identified as a factor that supports cone survival in retinal cultures. Cone photoreceptor loss is responsible for the visual handicap resulting from the inherited disease, retinitis pigmentosa. RdCVF shows 33% similarity to TRX but does not exhibit any detectable thiol oxidoreductase activity.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦Ê¢€0€0€ €‚Fcd03009, TryX_like_TryX_NRX, Tryparedoxin (TryX)-like family, TryX and nucleoredoxin (NRX) subfamily; TryX and NRX are thioredoxin (TRX)-like protein disulfide oxidoreductases that alter the redox state of target proteins via the reversible oxidation of an active center CXXC motif. TryX is involved in the regulation of oxidative stress in parasitic trypanosomatids by reducing TryX peroxidase, which in turn catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides. TryX derives reducing equivalents from reduced trypanothione, a polyamine peptide conjugate unique to trypanosomatids, which is regenerated by the NADPH-dependent flavoprotein trypanothione reductase. Vertebrate NRX is a 400-amino acid nuclear protein with one redox active TRX domain containing a CPPC active site motif followed by one redox inactive TRX-like domain. Mouse NRX transcripts are expressed in all adult tissues but is restricted to the nervous system and limb buds in embryos. Plant NRX, longer than the vertebrate NRX by about 100-200 amino acids, is a nuclear protein containing a redox inactive TRX-like domain between two redox active TRX domains. Both vertebrate and plant NRXs show thiol oxidoreductase activity in vitro. Their localization in the nucleus suggests a role in the redox regulation of nuclear proteins such as transcription factors.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦Ë¢€0€0€ €‚Scd03010, TlpA_like_DsbE, TlpA-like family, DsbE (also known as CcmG and CycY) subfamily; DsbE is a membrane-anchored, periplasmic TRX-like reductase containing a CXXC motif that specifically donates reducing equivalents to apocytochrome c via CcmH, another cytochrome c maturation (Ccm) factor with a redox active CXXC motif. Assembly of cytochrome c requires the ligation of heme to reduced thiols of the apocytochrome. In bacteria, this assembly occurs in the periplasm. The reductase activity of DsbE in the oxidizing environment of the periplasm is crucial in the maturation of cytochrome c.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦Ì¢€0€0€ €‚þcd03011, TlpA_like_ScsD_MtbDsbE, TlpA-like family, suppressor for copper sensitivity D protein (ScsD) and actinobacterial DsbE homolog subfamily; composed of ScsD, the DsbE homolog of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MtbDsbE) and similar proteins, all containing a redox-active CXXC motif. The Salmonella typhimurium ScsD is a thioredoxin-like protein which confers copper tolerance to copper-sensitive mutants of E. coli. MtbDsbE has been characterized as an oxidase in vitro, catalyzing the disulfide bond formation of substrates like hirudin. The reduced form of MtbDsbE is more stable than its oxidized form, consistent with an oxidase function. This is in contrast to the function of DsbE from gram-negative bacteria which is a specific reductase of apocytochrome c.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦Í¢€0€0€ €‚—cd03012, TlpA_like_DipZ_like, TlpA-like family, DipZ-like subfamily; composed uncharacterized proteins containing a TlpA-like TRX domain. Some members show domain architectures similar to that of E. coli DipZ protein (also known as DsbD). The only eukaryotic members of the TlpA family belong to this subfamily. TlpA is a disulfide reductase known to have a crucial role in the biogenesis of cytochrome aa3.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦Î¢€0€0€ €‚3cd03013, PRX5_like, Peroxiredoxin (PRX) family, PRX5-like subfamily; members are similar to the human protein, PRX5, a homodimeric TRX peroxidase, widely expressed in tissues and found cellularly in mitochondria, peroxisomes and the cytosol. The cellular location of PRX5 suggests that it may have an important antioxidant role in organelles that are major sources of reactive oxygen species (ROS), as well as a role in the control of signal transduction. PRX5 has been shown to reduce hydrogen peroxide, alkyl hydroperoxides and peroxynitrite. As with all other PRXs, the N-terminal peroxidatic cysteine of PRX5 is oxidized into a sulfenic acid intermediate upon reaction with peroxides. Human PRX5 is able to resolve this intermediate by forming an intramolecular disulfide bond with its C-terminal cysteine (the resolving cysteine), which can then be reduced by TRX, just like an atypical 2-cys PRX. This resolving cysteine, however, is not conserved in other members of the subfamily. In such cases, it is assumed that the oxidized cysteine is directly resolved by an external small-molecule or protein reductant, typical of a 1-cys PRX. In the case of the H. influenza PRX5 hybrid, the resolving glutaredoxin domain is on the same protein chain as PRX. PRX5 homodimers show an A-type interface, similar to atypical 2-cys PRXs.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦Ï¢€0€0€ €‚Rcd03014, PRX_Atyp2cys, Peroxiredoxin (PRX) family, Atypical 2-cys PRX subfamily; composed of PRXs containing peroxidatic and resolving cysteines, similar to the homodimeric thiol specific antioxidant (TSA) protein also known as TRX-dependent thiol peroxidase (Tpx). Tpx is a bacterial periplasmic peroxidase which differs from other PRXs in that it shows substrate specificity toward alkyl hydroperoxides over hydrogen peroxide. As with all other PRXs, the peroxidatic cysteine (N-terminal) of Tpx is oxidized into a sulfenic acid intermediate upon reaction with peroxides. Tpx is able to resolve this intermediate by forming an intramolecular disulfide bond with a conserved C-terminal cysteine (the resolving cysteine), which can then be reduced by thioredoxin. This differs from the typical 2-cys PRX which resolves the oxidized cysteine by forming an intermolecular disulfide bond with the resolving cysteine from the other subunit of the homodimer. Atypical 2-cys PRX homodimers have a loop-based interface (A-type for alternate), in contrast with the B-type interface of typical 2-cys and 1-cys PRXs.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦Ð¢€0€0€ €‚scd03015, PRX_Typ2cys, Peroxiredoxin (PRX) family, Typical 2-Cys PRX subfamily; PRXs are thiol-specific antioxidant (TSA) proteins, which confer a protective role in cells through its peroxidase activity by reducing hydrogen peroxide, peroxynitrite, and organic hydroperoxides. The functional unit of typical 2-cys PRX is a homodimer. A unique intermolecular redox-active disulfide center is utilized for its activity. Upon reaction with peroxides, its peroxidatic cysteine is oxidized into a sulfenic acid intermediate which is resolved by bonding with the resolving cysteine from the other subunit of the homodimer. This intermolecular disulfide bond is then reduced by thioredoxin, tryparedoxin or AhpF. Typical 2-cys PRXs, like 1-cys PRXs, form decamers which are stabilized by reduction of the active site cysteine. Typical 2-cys PRX interacts through beta strands at one edge of the monomer (B-type interface) to form the functional homodimer, and uses an A-type interface (similar to the dimeric interface in atypical 2-cys PRX and PRX5) at the opposite end of the monomer to form the stable decameric (pentamer of dimers) structure.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦Ñ¢€0€0€ €‚scd03016, PRX_1cys, Peroxiredoxin (PRX) family, 1-cys PRX subfamily; composed of PRXs containing only one conserved cysteine, which serves as the peroxidatic cysteine. They are homodimeric thiol-specific antioxidant (TSA) proteins that confer a protective role in cells by reducing and detoxifying hydrogen peroxide, peroxynitrite, and organic hydroperoxides. As with all other PRXs, a cysteine sulfenic acid intermediate is formed upon reaction of 1-cys PRX with its substrates. Having no resolving cysteine, the oxidized enzyme is resolved by an external small-molecule or protein reductant such as thioredoxin or glutaredoxin. Similar to typical 2-cys PRX, 1-cys PRX forms a functional dimeric unit with a B-type interface, as well as a decameric structure which is stabilized in the reduced form of the enzyme. Other oligomeric forms, tetramers and hexamers, have also been reported. Mammalian 1-cys PRX is localized cellularly in the cytosol and is expressed at high levels in brain, eye, testes and lung. The seed-specific plant 1-cys PRXs protect tissues from reactive oxygen species during desiccation and are also called rehydrins.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦Ò¢€0€0€ €‚8cd03017, PRX_BCP, Peroxiredoxin (PRX) family, Bacterioferritin comigratory protein (BCP) subfamily; composed of thioredoxin-dependent thiol peroxidases, widely expressed in pathogenic bacteria, that protect cells against toxicity from reactive oxygen species by reducing and detoxifying hydroperoxides. The protein was named BCP based on its electrophoretic mobility before its function was known. BCP shows substrate selectivity toward fatty acid hydroperoxides rather than hydrogen peroxide or alkyl hydroperoxides. BCP contains the peroxidatic cysteine but appears not to possess a resolving cysteine (some sequences, not all, contain a second cysteine but its role is still unknown). Unlike other PRXs, BCP exists as a monomer. The plant homolog of BCP is PRX Q, which is expressed only in leaves and is cellularly localized in the chloroplasts and the guard cells of stomata. Also included in this subfamily is the fungal nuclear protein, Dot5p (for disrupter of telomere silencing protein 5), which functions as an alkyl-hydroperoxide reductase during post-diauxic growth.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦Ó¢€0€0€ €‚écd03018, PRX_AhpE_like, Peroxiredoxin (PRX) family, AhpE-like subfamily; composed of proteins similar to Mycobacterium tuberculosis AhpE. AhpE is described as a 1-cys PRX because of the absence of a resolving cysteine. The structure and sequence of AhpE, however, show greater similarity to 2-cys PRXs than 1-cys PRXs. PRXs are thiol-specific antioxidant (TSA) proteins that confer a protective role in cells through their peroxidase activity in which hydrogen peroxide, peroxynitrate, and organic hydroperoxides are reduced and detoxified using reducing equivalents derived from either thioredoxin, glutathione, trypanothione and AhpF. The first step of catalysis is the nucleophilic attack by the peroxidatic cysteine on the peroxide leading to the formation of a cysteine sulfenic acid intermediate. The absence of a resolving cysteine suggests that functional AhpE is regenerated by an external reductant. The solution behavior and crystal structure of AhpE show that it forms dimers and octamers.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦Ô¢€0€0€ €‚9cd03019, DsbA_DsbA, DsbA family, DsbA subfamily; DsbA is a monomeric thiol disulfide oxidoreductase protein containing a redox active CXXC motif imbedded in a TRX fold. It is involved in the oxidative protein folding pathway in prokaryotes, and is the strongest thiol oxidant known, due to the unusual stability of the thiolate anion form of the first cysteine in the CXXC motif. The highly unstable oxidized form of DsbA directly donates disulfide bonds to reduced proteins secreted into the bacterial periplasm. This rapid and unidirectional process helps to catalyze the folding of newly-synthesized polypeptides. To regain catalytic activity, reduced DsbA is then reoxidized by the membrane protein DsbB, which generates its disulfides from oxidized quinones, which in turn are reoxidized by the electron transport chain.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦Õ¢€0€0€ €‚±cd03020, DsbA_DsbC_DsbG, DsbA family, DsbC and DsbG subfamily; V-shaped homodimeric proteins containing a redox active CXXC motif imbedded in a TRX fold. They function as protein disulfide isomerases and chaperones in the bacterial periplasm to correct non-native disulfide bonds formed by DsbA and prevent aggregation of incorrectly folded proteins. DsbC and DsbG are kept in their reduced state by the cytoplasmic membrane protein DsbD, which utilizes the TRX/TRX reductase system in the cytosol as a source of reducing equivalents. DsbG differ from DsbC in that it has a more limited substrate specificity, and it may preferentially act later in the folding process to catalyze disulfide rearrangements in folded or partially folded proteins. Also included in the alignment is the predicted protein TrbB, whose gene was sequenced from the enterohemorrhagic E. coli type IV pilus gene cluster, which is required for efficient plasmid transfer.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦Ö¢€0€0€ €‚Ycd03021, DsbA_GSTK, DsbA family, Glutathione (GSH) S-transferase Kappa (GSTK) subfamily; GSTK is a member of the GST family of enzymes which catalyzes the transfer of the thiol of GSH to electrophilic substrates. It is specifically located in the mitochondria and peroxisomes, unlike other members of the canonical GST family, which are mainly cytosolic. The biological substrates of GSTK are not yet known. It is presumed to have a protective role during respiration when large amounts of reactive oxygen species are generated. GSTK has the same general fold as DsbA, consisting of a thioredoxin domain interrupted by an alpha-helical domain and its biological unit is a homodimer. GSTK is closely related to the bacterial enzyme, 2-hydroxychromene-2-carboxylate (HCCA) isomerase. It shows little sequence similarity to the other members of the GST family.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦×¢€0€0€ €‚ecd03022, DsbA_HCCA_Iso, DsbA family, 2-hydroxychromene-2-carboxylate (HCCA) isomerase subfamily; HCCA isomerase is a glutathione (GSH) dependent enzyme involved in the naphthalene catabolic pathway. It converts HCCA, a hemiketal formed spontaneously after ring cleavage of 1,2-dihydroxynapthalene by a dioxygenase, into cis-o-hydroxybenzylidenepyruvate (cHBPA). This is the fourth reaction in a six-step pathway that converts napthalene into salicylate. HCCA isomerase is unique to bacteria that degrade polycyclic aromatic compounds. It is closely related to the eukaryotic protein, GSH transferase kappa (GSTK).¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦Ø¢€0€0€ €‚Ûcd03023, DsbA_Com1_like, DsbA family, Com1-like subfamily; composed of proteins similar to Com1, a 27-kDa outer membrane-associated immunoreactive protein originally found in both acute and chronic disease strains of the pathogenic bacteria Coxiella burnetti. It contains a CXXC motif, assumed to be imbedded in a DsbA-like structure. Its homology to DsbA suggests that the protein is a protein disulfide oxidoreductase.

AhpF contains an NTD containing two contiguous TRX-fold subdomains similar to Pyrococcus furiosus protein disulfide oxidoreductase (PfPDO). It also contains a catalytic core similar to TRX reductase containing FAD and NADH binding domains with an active site disulfide. The proposed mechanism of action of AhpF is similar to a TRX/TRX reductase system. The flow of reducing equivalents goes from NADH -> catalytic core of AhpF -> NTD of AhpF -> AhpC -> peroxide substrates. The catalytic CXXC motif of the NTD of AhpF is contained in its C-terminal TRX subdomain.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦Ü¢€0€0€ €‚8cd03027, GRX_DEP, Glutaredoxin (GRX) family, Dishevelled, Egl-10, and Pleckstrin (DEP) subfamily; composed of uncharacterized proteins containing a GRX domain and additional domains DEP and DUF547, both of which have unknown functions. GRX is a glutathione (GSH) dependent reductase containing a redox active CXXC motif in a TRX fold.

The non-PICOT members of this family contain only the GRX-like domain, whereas PICOT contains an N-terminal TRX-like domain followed by one to three GRX-like domains. It is interesting to note that PICOT from plants contain three repeats of the GRX-like domain, metazoan proteins (except for insect) have two repeats, while fungal sequences contain only one copy of the domain. PICOT is a protein that interacts with protein kinase C (PKC) theta, a calcium independent PKC isoform selectively expressed in skeletal muscle and T lymphocytes. PICOT inhibits the activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase and the transcription factors, AP-1 and NF-kB, induced by PKC theta or T-cell activating stimuli. Both GRX and TRX domains of PICOT are required for its activity. Characterized non-PICOT members of this family include CXIP1, a CAX-interacting protein in Arabidopsis thaliana, and PfGLP-1, a GRX-like protein from Plasmodium falciparum.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦Þ¢€0€0€ €‚¹cd03029, GRX_hybridPRX5, Glutaredoxin (GRX) family, PRX5 hybrid subfamily; composed of hybrid proteins containing peroxiredoxin (PRX) and GRX domains, which is found in some pathogenic bacteria and cyanobacteria.

The SH3BGR gene was cloned in an effort to identify genes mapping to chromosome 21, which could be involved in the pathogenesis of congenital heart disease affecting Down syndrome newborns. Several human SH3BGR-like (SH3BGRL) genes have been identified since, mapping to different locations in the chromosome. Of these, SH3BGRL3 was identified as a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha inhibitory protein and was also named TIP-B1. Upregulation of expression of SH3BGRL3 is associated with differentiation. It has been suggested that it functions as a regulator of differentiation-related signal transduction pathways.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦à¢€0€0€ €‚àcd03031, GRX_GRX_like, Glutaredoxin (GRX) family, GRX-like domain containing protein subfamily; composed of uncharacterized eukaryotic proteins containing a GRX-like domain having only one conserved cysteine, aligning to the C-terminal cysteine of the CXXC motif of GRXs. This subfamily is predominantly composed of plant proteins. GRX is a glutathione (GSH) dependent reductase, catalyzing the disulfide reduction of target proteins via a redox active CXXC motif using a similar dithiol mechanism employed by TRXs. GRX has preference for mixed GSH disulfide substrates, in which it uses a monothiol mechanism where only the N-terminal cysteine is required.

It inhibits transcription by binding to the C-terminal domain of the alpha subunit of RNAP, disrupting complex formation between RNAP and certain transcriptional activator proteins like ResD and ComA. In response to oxidative stress, Spx can also activate transcription, making it a general regulator that exerts both positive and negative control over transcription initiation. Spx has been shown to exert redox-sensitive transcriptional control over genes like trxA (TRX) and trxB (TRX reductase), genes that function in thiol homeostasis. This redox-sensitive activity is dependent on the presence of a CXXC motif, present in some members of the Spx subfamily, that acts as a thiol/disulfide switch. Spx has also been shown to repress genes in a sulfate-dependent manner independent of the presence of the CXXC motif.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦â¢€0€0€ €‚Acd03033, ArsC_15kD, Arsenate Reductase (ArsC) family, 15kD protein subfamily; composed of proteins of unknown function with similarity to thioredoxin-fold arsenic reductases, ArsC.

It contains a redox active CXXC motif located in the N-terminal domain but is not able to reduce ribonucleotide reductase like other GRXs.

Other class Sigma members include the class II insect GSTs, S-crystallins from cephalopods and 28-kDa GSTs from parasitic flatworms. Drosophila GST2 is associated with indirect flight muscle and exhibits preference for catalyzing GSH conjugation to lipid peroxidation products, indicating an anti-oxidant role. S-crystallin constitutes the major lens protein in cephalopod eyes and is responsible for lens transparency and proper refractive index. The 28-kDa GST from Schistosoma is a multifunctional enzyme, exhibiting GSH transferase, GSH peroxidase and PGD2 synthase activities, and may play an important role in host-parasite interactions.

The GST-like domain of EF1Bgamma is believed to mediate the dimerization of the EF1 complex, which in yeast is a dimer of the heterotrimer EF1A:EF1Balpha:EF1Bgamma. In addition to its role in protein biosynthesis, EF1Bgamma may also display other functions. The recombinant rice protein has been shown to possess GSH conjugating activity. The yeast EF1Bgamma binds membranes in a calcium dependent manner and is also part of a complex that binds to the msrA (methionine sulfoxide reductase) promoter suggesting a function in the regulation of its gene expression.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦î¢€0€0€ €‚Þcd03045, GST_N_Delta_Epsilon, GST_N family, Class Delta and Epsilon subfamily; GSTs are cytosolic dimeric proteins involved in cellular detoxification by catalyzing the conjugation of glutathione (GSH) with a wide range of endogenous and xenobiotic alkylating agents, including carcinogens, therapeutic drugs, environmental toxins and products of oxidative stress.

Mammalian class Theta GSTs show poor GSH conjugating activity towards the standard substrates, CDNB and ethacrynic acid, differentiating them from other mammalian GSTs. GSTT1-1 shows similar cataytic activity as bacterial DCM dehalogenase, catalyzing the GSH-dependent hydrolytic dehalogenation of dihalomethanes. This is an essential process in methylotrophic bacteria to enable them to use chloromethane and DCM as sole carbon and energy sources. The presence of polymorphisms in human GSTT1-1 and its relationship to the onset of diseases including cancer is subject of many studies.

CMT is characterized by slow and progressive weakness and atrophy of muscles. Sequence analysis of GDAP1 shows similarities and differences with GSTs; it appears to contain both N-terminal TRX-fold and C-terminal alpha helical domains of GSTs, however, it also contains additional C-terminal transmembrane domains unlike GSTs.

The class Phi GST subfamily has experience extensive gene duplication. The Arabidopsis and Oryza genomes contain 13 and 16 Phi GSTs, respectively. They are primarily responsible for herbicide detoxification together with class Tau GSTs, showing class specificity in substrate preference. Phi enzymes are highly reactive toward chloroacetanilide and thiocarbamate herbicides.

In mice, metaxin is required for embryonic development. In humans, alterations in the metaxin gene may be associated with Gaucher disease. Metaxin 2 binds to metaxin 1 and may also play a role in protein translocation into the mitochondria. Genome sequencing shows that a third metaxin gene also exists in zebrafish, Xenopus, chicken and mammals. Sequence analysis suggests that all three metaxins share a common ancestry and that they possess similarity to GSTs.

Class Omega GSTs show little or no GSH-conjugating activity towards standard GST substrates. Instead, they catalyze the GSH dependent reduction of protein disulfides, dehydroascorbate and monomethylarsonate, activities which are more characteristic of glutaredoxins. They contain a conserved cysteine equivalent to the first cysteine in the CXXC motif of glutaredoxins, which is a redox active residue capable of reducing GSH mixed disulfides in a monothiol mechanism. Polymorphisms of the class Omega GST genes may be associated with the development of some types of cancer and the age-at-onset of both Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦ù¢€0€0€ €‚¢cd03056, GST_N_4, GST_N family, unknown subfamily 4; composed of uncharacterized bacterial proteins with similarity to GSTs.

It is implicated in survival during nutrient starvation. SspA adopts the GST fold with an N-terminal TRX-fold domain and a C-terminal alpha helical domain, but it does not bind glutathione (GSH) and lacks GST activity. SspA is highly conserved among gram-negative bacteria. Related proteins found in Neisseria (called RegF), Francisella and Vibrio regulate the expression of virulence factors necessary for pathogenesis.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦ý¢€0€0€ €‚@cd03060, GST_N_Omega_like, GST_N family, Omega-like subfamily; composed of uncharacterized proteins with similarity to class Omega GSTs.

They are auto-inserting, self-assembling intracellular anion channels involved in a wide variety of functions including regulated secretion, cell division and apoptosis. They can exist in both water-soluble and membrane-bound states, and are found in various vesicles and membranes. Biochemical studies of the C. elegans homolog, EXC-4, show that the membrane localization domain is present in the N-terminal part of the protein. The structure of soluble human CLIC1 reveals that it is monomeric and it adopts a fold similar to GSTs, containing an N-terminal domain with a TRX fold and a C-terminal alpha helical domain. Upon oxidation, the N-terminal domain of CLIC1 undergoes a structural change to form a non-covalent dimer stabilized by the formation of an intramolecular disulfide bond between two cysteines that are far apart in the reduced form. The CLIC1 dimer bears no similarity to GST dimers. The redox-controlled structural rearrangement exposes a large hydrophobic surface, which is masked by dimerization in vitro. In vivo, this surface may represent the docking interface of CLIC1 in its membrane-bound state. The two cysteines in CLIC1 that form the disulfide bond in oxidizing conditions are essential for dimerization and chloride channel activity, however, in other subfamily members, the second cysteine is not conserved.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¦ÿ¢€0€0€ €‚½cd03062, TRX_Fd_Sucrase, TRX-like [2Fe-2S] Ferredoxin (Fd) family, Sucrase subfamily; composed of proteins with similarity to a novel plant enzyme, isolated from potato, which contains a Fd-like domain and exhibits sucrolytic activity.

FDH is a heteromeric enzyme composed of four nonidentical subunits (alpha, beta, gamma and delta). The FDH beta subunit contains a NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Nuo) F domain C-terminal to a Fd-like domain without the active site cysteines. The absence of conserved metal-binding residues in the putative active site suggests that members of this subfamily have lost the ability to bind iron-sulfur clusters in the N-terminal Fd-like domain. The C-terminal NuoF domain is a component of Nuo, a multisubunit complex catalyzing the electron transfer of NADH to quinone coupled with the transfer of protons across the membrane.

It is a multisubunit complex with at least 14 core subunits. It catalyzes the electron transfer of NADH to quinone coupled with the transfer of protons across the membrane, providing the proton motive force required for energy-consuming processes. Electrons are transferred from NADH to quinone through a chain of iron-sulfur clusters in Nuo, including the [2Fe-2S] cluster present in NuoE core subunit, also called the 24 kD subunit of Complex 1. This subfamily also include formate dehydrogenases, NiFe hydrogenases and NAD-reducing hydrogenases, that contain a NuoE domain.

The majority of proteins in this group have a reactive Cys found in the sharp turn between a beta strand and an alpha helix termed the nucleophile elbow. For Class I glutamine amidotransferases proteins which transfer ammonia from the amide side chain of glutamine to an acceptor substrate, this Cys forms a Cys-His-Glu catalytic triad in the active site. Glutamine amidotransferases activity can be found in a range of biosynthetic enzymes included in this cd: glutamine amidotransferase, formylglycinamide ribonucleotide, GMP synthetase, anthranilate synthase component II, glutamine-dependent carbamoyl phosphate synthase (CPSase), cytidine triphosphate synthetase, gamma-glutamyl hydrolase, imidazole glycerol phosphate synthase and, cobyric acid synthase. For Pyrococcus horikoshii PH1704, the Cys of the nucleophile elbow together with a different His and, a Glu from an adjacent monomer form a catalytic triad different from the typical GATase1 triad. Peptidase E is believed to be a serine peptidase having a Ser-His-Glu catalytic triad which differs from the Cys-His-Glu catalytic triad of typical GATase1 domains, by having a Ser in place of the reactive Cys at the nucleophile elbow.

EF1 consists of two functionally distinct units, EF1A and EF1B. EF1A catalyzes the GTP-dependent binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the ribosomal A site concomitant with the hydrolysis of GTP. The resulting inactive EF1A:GDP complex is recycled to the active GTP form by the guanine-nucleotide exchange factor EF1B, a complex composed of at least two subunits, alpha and gamma. Metazoan EFB1 contain a third subunit, beta. The EF1B gamma subunit contains a GST fold consisting of an N-terminal thioredoxin-fold domain and a C-terminal alpha helical domain.

In addition to its role in protein biosynthesis, EF1Bgamma may also display other functions. The recombinant rice protein has been shown to possess GSH conjugating activity. The yeast EF1Bgamma binds to membranes in a calcium dependent manner and is also part of a complex that binds to the msrA (methionine sulfoxide reductase) promoter suggesting a function in the regulation of its gene expression.

Like other members of the Nudix hydrolase superfamily, it requires a divalent cation, such as Mg2+, for its activity. It also contains a highly conserved 23-residue Nudix motif (GX5EX7REUXEEXGU, where U = I, L or V) which functions as a metal binding site/catalytic site. In addition to the Nudix motif, there are additional conserved amino acid residues, distal from the signature sequence, that correlate with substrate specificity. In humans, there are four distinct ADPRase activities, three putative cytosolic enzymes (ADPRase-I, -II, and -Mn) and a single mitochondrial enzyme (ADPRase-m). Human ADPRase-II is also referred to as NUDT5. It lacks the N-terminal target sequence unique to mitochondrial ADPRase. The different cytosolic types are distinguished by their specificities for substrate and specific requirement for metal ions. NUDT5 forms a homodimer.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €§œ¢€0€0€ €‚xcd03425, MutT_pyrophosphohydrolase, The MutT pyrophosphohydrolase is a prototypical Nudix hydrolase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of nucleoside and deoxynucleoside triphosphates (NTPs and dNTPs) by substitution at a beta-phosphorus to yield a nucleotide monophosphate (NMP) and inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi). This enzyme requires two divalent cations for activity; one coordinates the phosphoryl groups of the NTP/dNTP substrate, and the other coordinates to the enzyme. It also contains the Nudix motif, a highly conserved 23-residue block (GX5EX7REUXEEXGU, where U = I, L or V), that functions as metal binding and catalytic site. MutT pyrophosphohydrolase is important in preventing errors in DNA replication by hydrolyzing mutagenic nucleotides such as 8-oxo-dGTP (a product of oxidative damage), which can mispair with template adenine during DNA replication, to guanine nucleotides.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €§¢€0€0€ €‚Ñcd03426, CoAse, Coenzyme A pyrophosphatase (CoAse), a member of the Nudix hydrolase superfamily, functions to catalyze the elimination of oxidized inactive CoA, which can inhibit CoA-utilizing enzymes. The need of CoAses mainly arises under conditions of oxidative stress. CoAse has a conserved Nudix fold and requires a single divalent cation for catalysis. In addition to a signature Nudix motif G[X5]E[X7]REUXEEXGU, where U is Ile, Leu, or Val, CoAse contains an additional motif upstream called the NuCoA motif (LLTXT(SA)X3RX3GX3FPGG) which is postulated to be involved in CoA recognition. CoA plays a central role in lipid metabolism. It is involved in the initial steps of fatty acid sythesis in the cytosol, in the oxidation of fatty acids and the citric acid cycle in the mitochondria, and in the oxidation of long-chain fatty acids in peroxisomes. CoA has the important role of activating fatty acids for further modification into key biological signalling molecules.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €§ž¢€0€0€ €‚§cd03427, MTH1, MutT homolog-1 (MTH1) is a member of the Nudix hydrolase superfamily. MTH1, the mammalian counterpart of MutT, hydrolyzes oxidized purine nucleoside triphosphates, such as 8-oxo-dGTP and 2-hydroxy-ATP, to monophosphates, thereby preventing the incorporation of such oxygen radicals during replication. This is an important step in the repair mechanism in genomic and mitochondrial DNA. Like other members of the Nudix family, it requires a divalent cation, such as Mg2+ or Mn2+, for activity, and contain the Nudix motif, a highly conserved 23-residue block (GX5EX7REUXEEXGU, where U = I, L or V), that functions as a metal binding and catalytic site. MTH1 is predominantly localized in the cytoplasm and mitochondria. Structurally, this enzyme adopts a similar fold to MutT despite low sequence similarity outside the conserved nudix motif. The most distinctive structural difference between MutT and MTH1 is the presence of a beta-hairpin, which is absent in MutT. This results in a much deeper and narrower substrate binding pocket. Mechanistically, MTH1 contains dual specificity for nucleotides that contain 2-OH-adenine bases and those that contain 8-oxo-guanine bases.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €§Ÿ¢€0€0€ €‚cd03428, Ap4A_hydrolase_human_like, Diadenosine tetraphosphate (Ap4A) hydrolase is a member of the Nudix hydrolase superfamily. Ap4A hydrolases are well represented in a variety of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Phylogenetic analysis reveals two distinct subgroups where plant enzymes fall into one subfamily and fungi/animals/archaea enzymes, represented by this subfamily, fall into another. Bacterial enzymes are found in both subfamilies. Ap4A is a potential by-product of aminoacyl tRNA synthesis, and accumulation of Ap4A has been implicated in a range of biological events, such as DNA replication, cellular differentiation, heat shock, metabolic stress, and apoptosis. Ap4A hydrolase cleaves Ap4A asymmetrically into ATP and AMP. It is important in the invasive properties of bacteria and thus presents a potential target for inhibition of such invasive bacteria. Besides the signature nudix motif (G[X5]E[X7]REUXEEXGU, where U is Ile, Leu, or Val) that functions as a metal binding and catalytic site, and a required divalent cation, Ap4A hydrolase is structurally similar to the other members of the nudix superfamily with some degree of variation. Several regions in the sequences are poorly defined and substrate and metal binding sites are only predicted based on kinetic studies.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €§ ¢€0€0€ €‚Œcd03429, NADH_pyrophosphatase, NADH pyrophosphatase, a member of the Nudix hydrolase superfamily, catalyzes the cleavage of NADH into reduced nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMNH) and AMP. Like other members of the Nudix family, it requires a divalent cation, such as Mg2+ or Mn2+, for activity. Members of this family are also recognized by the Nudix motif, a highly conserved 23-residue block (GX5EX7REUXEEXGU, where U = I, L or V), that functions as a metal binding and catalytic site. A block of 8 conserved amino acids downstream of the nudix motif is thought to give NADH pyrophosphatase its specificity for NADH. NADH pyrophosphatase forms a dimer.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €§¡¢€0€0€ €‚žcd03430, GDPMH, GDP-mannose glycosyl hydrolase (AKA GDP-mannose mannosyl hydrolase (GDPMH)) is a member of the Nudix hydrolase superfamily. This class of enzymes is unique from other members of the superfamily in two aspects. First, it contains a modified Nudix signature sequence. The slight changes to the conserved sequence motif, GX5EX7REUXEEXGU, where U = I, L or V), are believed to contribute to the removal of all magnesium binding sites but one, retaining only the metal site that coordinates the pyrophosphate of the substrate. Secondly, it is not a pyrophosphatase that substitutes at a phosphorus; instead, it hydrolyzes nucleotide sugars such as GDP-mannose to GDP and mannose, cleaving the phosphoglycosyl bond by substituting at a carbon position. GDP-mannose provides mannosyl components for cell wall synthesis and is required for the synthesis of other glycosyl donors (such as GDP-fucose and colitose) for the cell wall. The importance of GDP-sugar hydrolase activities is thus closely related to the regulation of cell wall biosynthesis. Enzymes in this family are believed to regulate the concentration of GDP-mannose and GDP-glucose in the bacterial cell wall.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €§¢¢€0€0€ €‚jcd03431, DNA_Glycosylase_C, DNA glycosylase (MutY in bacteria and hMYH in humans) is responsible for repairing misread A*oxoG residues to C*G by removing the inappropriately paired adenine base from the DNA backbone. It belongs to the Nudix hydrolase superfamily and is important for the repair of various genotoxic lesions. Enzymes belonging to this superfamily requires a divalent cation, such as Mg2+ or Mn2+ for their activity. They are also recognized by a highly conserved 23-residue nudix motif (GX5EX7REUXEEXGU, where U = I, L or V). However, DNA glycosylase does not seem to contain this signature motif. DNA glycosylase consists of 2 domains: the N-terminal domain contains the catalytic properties of the enzyme and the C-terminal domain affects substrate (oxoG) binding and enzymatic turnover. The C-terminal domain is highly similar to MutT, based on secondary structure and topology, despite low sequence identity. MutT sanitizes the nucleotide precursor pool by hydrolyzing oxo-dGTP to oxo-dGMO and inorganic pyrophosphate. The similarity strongly suggests that the two proteins share a common evolutionary origin.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €§£¢€0€0€ €‚½cd03440, hot_dog, The hotdog fold was initially identified in the E. coli FabA (beta-hydroxydecanoyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP)-dehydratase) structure and subsequently in 4HBT (4-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA thioesterase) from Pseudomonas. A number of other seemingly unrelated proteins also share the hotdog fold. These proteins have related, but distinct, catalytic activities that include metabolic roles such as thioester hydrolysis in fatty acid metabolism, and degradation of phenylacetic acid and the environmental pollutant 4-chlorobenzoate. This superfamily also includes the PaaI-like protein FapR, a non-catalytic bacterial homolog involved in transcriptional regulation of fatty acid biosynthesis.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €§¤¢€0€0€ €‚Jcd03441, R_hydratase_like, (R)-hydratase [(R)-specific enoyl-CoA hydratase]. Catalyzes the hydration of trans-2-enoyl CoA to (R)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA as part of the PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoate) biosynthetic pathway. The structure of the monomer includes a five-strand antiparallel beta-sheet wrapped around a central alpha helix, referred to as a hot dog fold. The active site lies within a substrate-binding tunnel formed by the homodimer. Other enzymes with this fold include MaoC dehydratase, Hydratase-Dehydrogenase-Epimerase protein (HDE), and the fatty acid synthase beta subunit.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €§¥¢€0€0€ €‚Çcd03442, BFIT_BACH, Brown fat-inducible thioesterase (BFIT). Brain acyl-CoA hydrolase (BACH). These enzymes deacylate long-chain fatty acids by hydrolyzing acyl-CoA thioesters to free fatty acids and CoA-SH. Eukaryotic members of this family are expressed in brain, testis, and brown adipose tissues. The archeal and eukaryotic members of this family have two tandem copies of the conserved hot dog fold, while most bacterial members have only one copy.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €§¦¢€0€0€ €‚«cd03443, PaaI_thioesterase, PaaI_thioesterase is a tetrameric acyl-CoA thioesterase with a hot dog fold and one of several proteins responsible for phenylacetic acid (PA) degradation in bacteria.

Y-family DNA polymerases are a specialized subset of polymerases that facilitate translesion synthesis (TLS), a process that allows the bypass of a variety of DNA lesions. Unlike replicative polymerases, TLS polymerases lack proofreading activity and have low fidelity and low processivity. They use damaged DNA as templates and insert nucleotides opposite the lesions. The active sites of TLS polymerases are large and flexible to allow the accomodation of distorted bases. Expression of Y-family polymerases is often induced by DNA damage and is believed to be highly regulated. TLS is likely induced by the monoubiquitination of the replication clamp PCNA, which provides a scaffold for TLS polymerases to bind in order to access the lesion. Because of their high error rates, TLS polymerases are potential targets for cancer treatment and prevention.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €±J¢€0€0€ €‚!cd03469, Rieske_RO_Alpha_N, Rieske non-heme iron oxygenase (RO) family, N-terminal Rieske domain of the oxygenase alpha subunit; The RO family comprise a large class of aromatic ring-hydroxylating dioxygenases found predominantly in microorganisms.

The delta-9 acyl-lipid desaturases are found in a wide range of bacteria. These enzymes play essential roles in fatty acid metabolism and the regulation of cell membrane fluidity. Acyl-CoA desaturases are the enzymes involved in the CoA-bound desaturation of fatty acids. Mammalian stearoyl-CoA delta-9 desaturase is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of monounsaturated fatty acids, and in yeast, the delta-9 acyl-CoA desaturase (OLE1) reaction accounts for all de nova unsaturated fatty acid production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. These non-heme, iron-containing, ER membrane-bound enzymes are part of a three-component enzyme system involving cytochrome b5, cytochrome b5 reductase, and the delta-9 fatty acid desaturase. This complex catalyzes the NADH- and oxygen-dependent insertion of a cis double bond between carbons 9 and 10 of the saturated fatty acyl substrates, palmitoyl (16:0)-CoA or stearoyl (18:0)-CoA, yielding the monoenoic products palmitoleic (16:l) or oleic (18:l) acids, respectively. In cyanobacteria, the biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids is initiated by delta 9 acyl-lipid desaturase (DesC) which introduces the first double bond at the delta-9 position of a saturated fatty acid that has been esterified to a glycerolipid. This domain family has extensive hydrophobic regions that would be capable of spanning the membrane bilayer at least twice. Comparison of sequences also reveals the existence of three regions of conserved histidine cluster motifs that contain the residues: HXXXXH, HXXHH, and H/QXXHH. These histidine residues are reported to be catalytically essential and proposed to be the ligands for the iron atoms contained within the rat stearoyl CoA delta-9 desaturase. Some eukaryotic (Fungi, Euglenozoa, Mycetozoa, Rhodophyta) desaturase domains have an adjacent C-terminal cytochrome b5-like domain.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €§Þ¢€0€0€ €‚´cd03506, Delta6-FADS-like, The Delta6 Fatty Acid Desaturase (Delta6-FADS)-like CD includes the integral-membrane enzymes: delta-4, delta-5, delta-6, delta-8, delta-8-sphingolipid, and delta-11 desaturases found in vertebrates, higher plants, fungi, and bacteria. These desaturases are required for the synthesis of highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs), which are mainly esterified into phospholipids and contribute to maintaining membrane fluidity. While HUFAs may be required for cold tolerance in bacteria, plants and fish, the primary role of HUFAs in mammals is cell signaling. These enzymes are described as front-end desaturases because they introduce a double bond between the pre-exiting double bond and the carboxyl (front) end of the fatty acid. Various substrates are involved, with both acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) and acyl-lipid desaturases present in this CD. Acyl-lipid desaturases are localized in the membranes of cyanobacterial thylakoid, plant endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and plastid; and acyl-CoA desaturases are present in ER membrane. ER-bound plant acyl-lipid desaturases and acyl-CoA desaturases require cytochrome b5 as an electron donor. Most of the eukaryotic desaturase domains have an adjacent N-terminal cytochrome b5-like domain. This domain family has extensive hydrophobic regions that would be capable of spanning the membrane bilayer at least twice.

The expression of these proteins appears to be temperature dependent: decreases in temperature result in increased levels of fatty acid desaturation within membrane lipids subsequently altering cell membrane fluidity. An important enzyme for the production of polyunsaturates in plants is the oleate delta-12 desaturase (Arabidopsis FAD2) of the endoplasmic reticulum. This enzyme accepts l-acyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine as substrate and requires NADH:cytochrome b oxidoreductase, cytochrome b, and oxygen for activity. FAD2 converts oleate(18:1) to linoleate (18:2) and is closely related to oleate 12-hydroxylase which catalyzes the hydroxylation of oleate to ricinoleate. Plastid-bound desaturases (Arabidopsis delta-12 desaturase (FAD6), omega-3 desaturase (FAD8), omega-6 desaturase (FAD6)), as well as, the cyanobacterial thylakoid-bound FADSs require oxygen, ferredoxin, and ferredoxin oxidoreductase for activity. As in higher plants, the cyanobacteria delta-12 (DesA) and omega-3 (DesB) FADSs desaturate oleate (18:1) to linoleate (18:2) and linoleate (18:2) to linolenate (18:3), respectively. Omega-3 (DesB/FAD8) and omega-6 (DesD/FAD6) desaturases catalyze reactions that introduce a double bond between carbons three and four, and carbons six and seven, respectively, from the methyl end of fatty acids.

The alk genes in Pseudomonas oleovorans encode conversion of alkanes to acyl CoA. The alkane omega-hydroxylase (AlkB) system is responsible for the initial oxidation of inactivated alkanes. It is a three-component system comprising a soluble NADH-rubredoxin reductase (AlkT), a soluble rubredoxin (AlkG), and the integral membrane oxygenase (AlkB). AlkB utilizes the oxygen rebound mechanism to hydroxylate alkanes. This mechanism involves homolytic cleavage of the C-H bond by an electrophilic metal-oxo intermediate to generate a substrate-based radical. As with other members of this superfamily, this domain family has extensive hydrophobic regions that would be capable of spanning the membrane bilayer at least twice. The active site structure of AlkB is not known, however, spectroscopic and genetic evidence points to a nitrogen-rich coordination environment located in the cytoplasm with as many as eight histidines coordinating the two iron ions and a carboxylate residue bridging the two metals. Like all other members of this superfamily, there are eight conserved histidines seen in the histidine cluster motifs: HXXXH, HXXXHH, and HXXHH. These histidine residues are reported to be catalytically essential and proposed to be the ligands for the iron atoms contained within the homolog, stearoyl CoA desaturase. Also included in this CD are terminal alkane hydroxylases (AlkM), xylene monooxygenase hydroxylases (XylM), p-cymene monooxygenase hydroxylases (CymAa), and other related proteins.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €§å¢€0€0€ €‚Àcd03513, CrtW_beta-carotene-ketolase, Beta-carotene ketolase/oxygenase (CrtW, also known as CrtO), the carotenoid astaxanthin biosynthetic enzyme, initially catalyzes the addition of two keto groups to carbons C4 and C4' of beta-carotene. Carotenoids are important natural pigments produced by many microorganisms and plants. Astaxanthin is reported to be an antioxidant, an anti-cancer agent, and an immune system stimulant. A number of bacteria and green algae can convert beta-carotene into astaxanthin by using several ketocarotenoids as intermediates and CrtW and a beta-carotene hydroxylase (CrtZ). CrtW initially converts beta-carotene to canthaxanthin via echinenone, and CrtZ initially mediates the conversion of beta-carotene to zeaxanthin via beta-cryptoxanthin. After a few more intermediates are formed, CrtW and CrtZ act in combination to produce astaxanthin. Sequences of this domain family appear to be structurally related to membrane fatty acid desaturases and alkane hydroxylases. They all share in common extensive hydrophobic regions that are capable of spanning the membrane bilayer at least twice. Comparison of these sequences also reveals three regions of conserved histidine cluster motifs that contain eight histidine residues: HXXXH, HXXHH, and HXXHH. These histidine residues are reported to be catalytically essential and proposed to be the ligands for the iron atoms contained within homologs, stearoyl CoA desaturase and alkane hydroxylase.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €§æ¢€0€0€ €‚cd03514, CrtR_beta-carotene-hydroxylase, Beta-carotene hydroxylase (CrtR), the carotenoid zeaxanthin biosynthetic enzyme catalyzes the addition of hydroxyl groups to the beta-ionone rings of beta-carotene to form zeaxanthin and is found in bacteria and red algae. Carotenoids are important natural pigments; zeaxanthin and lutein are the only dietary carotenoids that accumulate in the macular region of the retina and lens. It is proposed that these carotenoids protect ocular tissues against photooxidative damage. CrtR does not show overall amino acid sequence similarity to the beta-carotene hydroxylases similar to CrtZ, an astaxanthin biosynthetic beta-carotene hydroxylase. However, CrtR does show sequence similarity to the green alga, Haematococcus pluvialis, beta-carotene ketolase (CrtW), which converts beta-carotene to canthaxanthin. Sequences of the CrtR_beta-carotene-hydroxylase domain family, as well as, the CrtW_beta-carotene-ketolase domain family appear to be structurally related to membrane fatty acid desaturases and alkane hydroxylases.

Comparison of these sequences also reveals three regions of conserved histidine cluster motifs that contain eight histidine residues: HXXXH, HXXHH, and HXXHH. These histidine residues are reported to be catalytically essential and proposed to be the ligands for the iron atoms contained within homologs, stearoyl CoA desaturase and alkane hydroxylase.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €§ç¢€0€0€ €‚“cd03515, Link_domain_TSG_6_like, This is the extracellular link domain of the type found in human TSG-6. The link domain is a hyaluronan (HA)-binding domain. TSG-6 is the protein product of tumor necrosis factor-stimulated gene-6. TSG-6 is up-regulated in inflammatory lesions and in the ovary during ovulation. It has a strong anti-inflammatory and chondroprotective effect in models of acute inflammation and autoimmune arthritis and plays an essential role in female fertility. Also included in this group are the stabilins: stabilin-1 (FEEL-1, CLEVER-1) and stabilin-2 (FEEL-2). Stabilin-2 functions as the major liver and lymph node-scavenging receptor for HA and related glycosaminoglycans. Stabilin-2 is a scavenger receptor with a broad range of ligands including advanced glycation end (AGE) products, acetylated low density lipoprotein and procollagen peptides. In contrast, stabilin-1 does not bind HA, but binds acetylated low density lipoprotein and AGEs with lower affinity. As AGEs accumulate in vascular tissues during aging and diabetes, these receptors may be implicated in the pathologies of these states. Both stabilins are present in the early endocytic pathway in hepatic sinusoidal epithelium associating with clathrin/AP-2. Stabilin-1 is expressed in macrophages. Stabilin-2 is absent from the latter. In macrophages: stabilin-1 is involved in trafficking between early/sorting endosomes and the trans-Golgi network. Stabilin-1 has also been implicated in angiogenesis and possibly leucocyte trafficking. Both stabilins bind gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

L-fucose (or 6-deoxy-L-galactose) is found in blood group determinants as well as in various oligo- and polysaccharides, and glycosides in mammals, bacteria and plants.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨¢€0€0€ €‚ðcd03557, L-arabinose_isomerase, L-Arabinose isomerase (AI) catalyzes the isomerization of L-arabinose to L-ribulose, the first reaction in its conversion into D-xylulose-5-phosphate, an intermediate in the pentose phosphate pathway, which allows L-arabinose to be used as a carbon source. AI can also convert D-galactose to D-tagatose at elevated temperatures in the presence of divalent metal ions. D-tagatose, rarely found in nature, is of commercial interest as a low-calorie sugar substitute.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨¢€0€0€ €‚+cd03561, VHS, VHS domain family; The VHS domain is present in Vps27 (Vacuolar Protein Sorting), Hrs (Hepatocyte growth factor-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate) and STAM (Signal Transducing Adaptor Molecule). It has a superhelical structure similar to that of the ARM (Armadillo) repeats and is present at the N-termini of proteins involved in intracellular membrane trafficking. There are four general groups of VHS domain containing proteins based on their association with other domains. The first group consists of proteins of the STAM/EAST/Hbp family which has the domain composition VHS-SH3-ITAM. The second consists of proteins with a FYVE domain C-terminal to VHS. The third consists of GGA proteins with a domain composition VHS-GAT (GGA and TOM)-GAE (gamma-adaptin ear) domain. The fourth consists of proteins with a VHS domain alone or with domains other than those mentioned above. In GGA proteins, VHS domains are involved in cargo recognition in trans-Golgi, thereby having a general membrane targeting/cargo recognition role in vesicular trafficking.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨¢€0€0€ €‚rcd03562, CID, CID (CTD-Interacting Domain) domain family; CID is present in several RNA-processing factors such as Pcf11 and Nrd1. Pcf11 is a conserved and essential subunit of the yeast cleavage factor IA, which is required for polyadenylation-dependent 3'-RNA processing and transcription termination. Nrd1 is implicated in polyadenylation-independent 3'-RNA processing. CID binds tightly to the carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase (Pol) II. During transcription, Pol II synthesizes eukaryotic messenger RNA. Transcription is coupled to RNA processing through the CTD, which consists of up to 52 repeats of the sequence Tyr 1-Ser 2-Pro 3-Thr 4-Ser 5-Pro 6-Ser 7. CID contains eight alpha-helices in a right-handed superhelical arrangement, which closely resembles that of the VHS domains and ARM (Armadillo) repeat proteins, except for its two amino-terminal helices.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨¢€0€0€ €‚cd03564, ANTH_AP180_CALM, ANTH domain family; composed of adaptor protein 180 (AP180), clathrin assembly lymphoid myeloid leukemia protein (CALM) and similar proteins. A set of proteins previously designated as harboring an ENTH domain in fact contains a highly similar, yet unique module referred to as an AP180 N-terminal homology (ANTH) domain. AP180 and CALM play important roles in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. AP180 is a brain-specific clathrin-binding protein which stimulates clathrin assembly during the recycling of synaptic vesicles. The ANTH domain is structurally similar to the VHS domain and is composed of a superhelix of eight alpha helices. ANTH domains bind both inositol phospholipids and proteins, and contribute to the nucleation and formation of clathrin coats on membranes. ANTH-bearing proteins have recently been shown to function with adaptor protein-1 and GGA adaptors at the trans-Golgi network, which suggests that the ANTH domain is a universal component of the machinery for clathrin-mediated membrane budding.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨¢€0€0€ €‚jcd03565, VHS_Tom1, VHS domain family, Tom1 subfamily; The VHS domain is an essential part of Tom1 (Target of myb1 - retroviral oncogene) protein. The VHS domain has a superhelical structure similar to the structure of the ARM repeats and is present at the very N-termini of proteins. It is a right-handed superhelix of eight alpha helices. The VHS domain has been found in a number of proteins, some of which have been implicated in intracellular trafficking and sorting.

The VHS domain has a superhelical structure similar to the structure of the ARM (Armadillo) repeats and is present at the N-termini of proteins. GGA proteins have a multidomain structure consisting of an N-terminal VHS domain linked by a short proline-rich linker to a GAT (GGA and TOM) domain, which is followed by a long flexible linker to the C-terminal appendage, GAE (gamma-adaptin ear) domain.

Collectively, they are referred to as STAM. All STAMs have at their N-termini a VHS domain, which is involved in cytokine-mediated intracellular signal transduction and has a superhelical structure similar to the structure of ARM (Armadillo) repeats, followed by a SH3 (Src homology 3) domain, a well-established protein-protein interaction domain. At the C-termini of most vertebrate STAMS, an ITAM (Immunoreceptor Tyrosine-based Activation) motif is present, which mediates the binding of HRS (hepatocyte growth factor-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate) in endocytic and exocytic machineries.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨ ¢€0€0€ €‚øcd03569, VHS_Hrs_Vps27p, VHS domain family, Hrs and Vps27p subfamily; composed of Hrs (Hepatocyte growth factor-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate) and its yeast homolog Vps27p (vacuolar protein sorting). The VHS domain, an essential part of Hrs/Vps27p, has a superhelical structure similar to the structure of ARM (Armadillo) repeats and is present at the N-termini of proteins. Hrs also contains a FYVE (Fab1p, YOTB, Vac1p, and EEA1) zinc finger domain C-terminal to VHS, as well as two coiled-coil domains. Hrs has been proposed to play a role in at least three vesicle trafficking events: exocytosis, endocytosis, and endosome to lysosome trafficking. Hrs is involved in promoting rapid recycling of endocytosed signaling receptors to the plasma membrane.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨ ¢€0€0€ €‚3cd03571, ENTH_epsin, ENTH domain, Epsin family; The epsin (Eps15 interactor) N-terminal homology (ENTH) domain is an evolutionarily conserved protein module found primarily in proteins that participate in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. A set of proteins previously designated as harboring an ENTH domain in fact contains a highly similar, yet unique module referred to as an AP180 N-terminal homology (ANTH) domain. ENTH and ANTH (E/ANTH) domains are structurally similar to the VHS domain and are composed of a superhelix of eight alpha helices. E/ANTH domains bind both inositol phospholipids and proteins and contribute to the nucleation and formation of clathrin coats on membranes. ENTH domains also function in the development of membrane curvature through lipid remodeling during the formation of clathrin-coated vesicles. E/ANTH-bearing proteins have recently been shown to function with adaptor protein-1 and GGA adaptors at the trans-Golgi network, which suggests that E/ANTH domains are universal components of the machinery for clathrin-mediated membrane budding.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨ ¢€0€0€ €‚rcd03572, ENTH_epsin_related, ENTH domain, Epsin Related family; composed of hypothetical proteins containing an ENTH-like domain.

In C5, the domain interacts with various partners during the formation of the membrane attack complex, a fundamental process in the mammalian defense against infection. It's role in component C3 and C4 is not well understood.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨ ¢€0€0€ €‚Xcd03575, NTR_WFIKKN, NTR domain, WFIKKN subfamily; WFIKKN proteins contain a C-terminal NTR domain and are putative secreted proteins which may be multivalent protease inhibitors that act on serine proteases as well as metalloproteases. Human WFIKKN and a related protein sharing the same domain architecture were observed to have distinct tissue expression patterns. WFIKKN is also referred to as growth and differentiation factor-associated serum protein-1 (GASP-1). It inhibits the activity of mature myostatin, a specific regulator of skeletal muscle mass and a member of the TGFbeta superfamily.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨¢€0€0€ €‚­cd03576, NTR_PCOLCE, NTR domain, PCOLCE subfamily; Procollagen C-endopeptidase enhancers (PCOLCEs) are extracellular matrix proteins that enhance the activity of procollagen C-proteases, by binding to the procollagen I C-peptide. They contain a C-terminal NTR domain, which have been suggested to possess inhibitory functions towards specific serine proteases but not towards metzincins, which are inhibited by the related TIMPs.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨¢€0€0€ €‚Õcd03577, NTR_TIMP_like, NTR domain, TIMP-like subfamily; TIMPs, or tissue inibitors of metalloproteases, are essential regulators of extracellular matrix turnover and remodeling. They form complexes with matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) and inactivate them irreversibly by non-covalently binding their active zinc-binding sites. This group contains domains similar to the TIMP NTR domain, which binds MMPs. Members of this group may or may not function as MMP inhibitors.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨¢€0€0€ €‚ÿcd03578, NTR_netrin-4_like, NTR domain, Netrin-4-like subfamily; composed of the C-terminal NTR domains of netrin-4 (beta netrin) and similar proteins. Netrins are secreted proteins that function as tropic cues in the direction of axon growth and cell migration during neural development. Netrin-4 is a basement membrane component that is important in neural, kidney and vascular development. It may also be involved in regulating the outgrowth and shape of epithelial cells during lung branching morphogenesis.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨¢€0€0€ €‚ßcd03579, NTR_netrin-1_like, NTR domain, Netrin-1-like subfamily; The C-terminal NTR domain of netrins is also called domain C in the context of C. elegans netrin UNC-6. Netrins are secreted proteins that function as tropic cues in the direction of axon growth and cell migration during neural development. These proteins may be chemoattractive to some neurons and chemorepellant for others. In the case of netrin-1, attraction and repulsion responses are mediated by the DCC and UNC-5 receptor families. The biological activities of C. elegans UNC-6, which may either attract or repel migrating cells or axons, are mediated by its different domains. The C-terminal NTR domain of UNC-6 has been shown to inhibit axon branching activity.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨¢€0€0€ €‚›cd03580, NTR_Sfrp1_like, NTR domain, Secreted frizzled-related protein (Sfrp) 1-like subfamily; composed of proteins similar to human Sfrp1, Sfrp2 and Sfrp5. Sfrps are soluble proteins containing an NTR domain C-terminal to a cysteine-rich Frizzled domain. They show diverse functions and are thought to work in Wnt signaling indirectly, as modulators or antagonists by binding Wnt ligands, and directly, via the Wnt receptor, Frizzled. They participate in regulating the patterning along the anteroposterior axis in vertebrates. Human Sfrp1 has been found frequently to be downregulated in breast cancer and is associated with disease progression and poor prognosis.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨¢€0€0€ €‚ncd03581, NTR_Sfrp3_like, NTR domain, Secreted frizzled-related protein (Sfrp) 3-like subfamily; composed of proteins similar to human Sfrp3 and Sfrp4. Sfrps are soluble proteins containing an NTR domain C-terminal to a cysteine-rich Frizzled domain. They show diverse functions and are thought to work in Wnt signaling indirectly, as modulators or antagonists by binding Wnt ligands, and directly, via the Wnt receptor, Frizzled. They participate in regulating the patterning along the anteroposterior axis in vertebrates. Human Sfrp3 may suppress the growth and invasiveness of androgen-independent prostate cancer cells.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨¢€0€0€ €‚ãcd03582, NTR_complement_C5, NTR/C345C domain, complement C5 subfamily; The NTR domain found in complement C5 is also known as C345C because it occurs at the C-terminus of complement C3, C4 and C5. Complement C5 is activated by C5 convertase, which itself is a complex between C3b and C3 convertase. The small cleavage fragment, C5a, is the most important small peptide mediator of inflammation, and the larger active fragment, C5b, initiates late events of complement activation. The NTR/C345C domain is important in the function of C5 as it interacts with enzymes that convert C5 to the active form, C5b. The domain has also been found to bind to complement components C6 and C7, and may specifically interact with their factor I modules.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨¢€0€0€ €‚cd03583, NTR_complement_C3, NTR/C345C domain, complement C3 subfamily; The NTR domain found in complement C3 is also known as the C345C domain because it occurs at the C-terminus of complement C3, C4 and C5. Complement C3 plays a pivotal role in the activation of the complement systems, as all pathways (classical, alternative, and lectin) result in the processing of C3 by C3 convertase. The larger fragment, activated C3b, contains the NTR/C345C domain and binds covalently, via a reactive thioester, to cell surface carbohydrates including components of bacterial cell walls and immune aggregates. The smaller cleavage product, C3a, acts independently as a diffusible signal to mediate local inflammatory processes. The structure of C3 shows that the NTR/C345C domain is located in an exposed position relative to the rest of the molecule. The function of the domain in complement C3 is poorly understood.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨¢€0€0€ €‚?cd03584, NTR_complement_C4, NTR/C345C domain, complement C4 subfamily; The NTR domain found in complement C4 is also known as the C345C domain because it occurs at the C-terminus of complement C3, C4 and C5. Complement C4 is a key player in the activation of the component classical pathway. C4 is cleaved by activated C1 to yield C4a anaphylatoxin, and the larger fragment C4b, an essential component of the C3- and C5-convertase enzymes. C4b binds covalently to the surface of pathogens through a reactive thioester. The role of the NTR/C345C domain in C4 (C4b) is unclear.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨¢€0€0€ €‚ßcd03585, NTR_TIMP, NTR domain, TIMP subfamily; TIMPs, or tissue inibitors of metalloproteases, are essential regulators of extracellular matrix turnover and remodeling. They form complexes with matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) and inactivate them irreversibly by non-covalently binding their active zinc-binding sites. The levels of activated membrane-type MMPs, MMPs, and free TIMPs determine the balance between matrix degradation and matrix formation or stabilization. Consequently, TIMPs play roles in processes that require the remodeling and degradation of connective tissue, such as development, morphogenesis, wound healing, as well as in various diseases and pathological states such as tumor cell metastasis, arthritis, and artherosclerosis. Most TIMPs bind to a variety of MMPs. TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 appear to be multifunctional proteins with diverse biological action. They may exhibit growth factor-like activity and can inhibit angiogenesis. TIMP-3 has been implicated in apoptosis.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨¢€0€0€ €‚cd03586, PolY_Pol_IV_kappa, DNA Polymerase IV/Kappa. Pol IV, also known as Pol kappa, DinB, and Dpo4, is a translesion synthesis (TLS) polymerase. Translesion synthesis is a process that allows the bypass of a variety of DNA lesions. TLS polymerases lack proofreading activity and have low fidelity and low processivity. They use damaged DNA as templates and insert nucleotides opposite the lesions. Known primarily as Pol IV in prokaryotes and Pol kappa in eukaryotes, this polymerase has a propensity for generating frameshift mutations. The eukaryotic Pol kappa differs from Pol IV and Dpo4 by an N-terminal extension of ~75 residues known as the "N-clasp" region. The structure of Pol kappa shows DNA that is almost totally encircled by Pol kappa, with the N-clasp region augmenting the interactions between DNA and the polymerase. Pol kappa is more resistant than Pol eta and Pol iota to bulky guanine adducts and is efficient at catalyzing the incorporation of dCTP. Bacterial pol IV has a higher error rate than other Y-family polymerases.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €±K¢€0€0€ €‚Ócd03587, SOCS, SOCS (suppressors of cytokine signaling) box. The SOCS box is found in the C-terminal region of CIS/SOCS family proteins (in combination with a SH2 domain), ASBs (ankyrin repeat-containing proteins with a SOCS box), SSBs (SPRY domain-containing proteins with a SOCS box), and WSBs (WD40 repeat-containing proteins with a SOCS box), as well as, other miscellaneous proteins. The function of the SOCS box is the recruitment of the ubiquitin-transferase system. The SOCS box interacts with Elongins B and C, Cullin-5 or Cullin-2, Rbx-1, and E2. Therefore, SOCS-box-containing proteins probably function as E3 ubiquitin ligases and mediate the degradation of proteins associated through their N-terminal regions.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨¢€0€0€ €‚tcd03588, CLECT_CSPGs, C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan core proteins. CLECT_CSPGs: C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan core proteins (CSPGs) in human and chicken aggrecan, frog brevican, and zebra fish dermacan. CTLD refers to a domain homologous to the carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs) of the C-type lectins. In cartilage, aggrecan forms cartilage link protein stabilized aggregates with hyaluronan (HA). These aggregates contribute to the tissue's load bearing properties. Aggregates having other CSPGs substituting for aggrecan may contribute to the structural integrity of many different tissues. Xenopus brevican is expressed in the notochord and the brain during early embryogenesis. Zebra fish dermacan is expressed in dermal bones and may play a role in dermal bone development. CSPGs do contain LINK domain(s) which bind HA. These LINK domains are considered by one classification system to be a variety of CTLD, but are omitted from this hierarchical classification based on insignificant sequence similarity.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €U⢀0€0€ €‚Åcd03589, CLECT_CEL-1_like, C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in CEL-1 from Cucumaria echinata and Echinoidin from Anthocidaris crassispina. CLECT_CEL-1_like: C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in CEL-1 from Cucumaria echinata and Echinoidin from Anthocidaris crassispina. CTLD refers to a domain homologous to the carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs) of the C-type lectins. The CEL-1 CTLD binds three calcium ions and has a high specificity for N-acteylgalactosamine (GalNAc). CEL-1 exhibits strong cytotoxicity which is inhibited by GalNAc. This protein may play a role as a toxin defending against predation. Echinoidin is found in the coelomic fluid of the sea urchin and is specific for GalBeta1-3GalNAc. Echinoidin has a cell adhesive activity towards human cancer cells which is not mediated through the CTLD. Both CEL-1 and Echinoidin are multimeric proteins comprised of multiple dimers linked by disulfide bonds.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €U㢀0€0€ €‚ Qcd03590, CLECT_DC-SIGN_like, C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in human dendritic cell (DC)-specific intercellular adhesion molecule 3-grabbing non-integrin (DC-SIGN) and the related receptor, DC-SIGN receptor (DC-SIGNR). CLECT_DC-SIGN_like: C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in human dendritic cell (DC)-specific intercellular adhesion molecule 3-grabbing non-integrin (DC-SIGN) and the related receptor, DC-SIGN receptor (DC-SIGNR). This group also contains proteins similar to hepatic asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGP-R) and langerin in human. These proteins are type II membrane proteins with a CTLD ectodomain. CTLD refers to a domain homologous to the carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs) of the C-type lectins. DC-SIGN is thought to mediate the initial contact between dendritic cells and resting T cells, and may also mediate the rolling of DCs on epithelium. DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR bind to oligosaccharides present on human tissues, as well as, on pathogens including parasites, bacteria, and viruses. DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR bind to HIV enhancing viral infection of T cells. DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR are homotetrameric, and contain four CTLDs stabilized by a coiled coil of alpha helices. The hepatic ASGP-R is an endocytic recycling receptor which binds and internalizes desialylated glycoproteins having a terminal galactose or N-acetylgalactosamine residues on their N-linked carbohydrate chains, via the clathrin-coated pit mediated endocytic pathway, and delivers them to lysosomes for degradation. It has been proposed that glycoproteins bearing terminal Sia (sialic acid) alpha2, 6GalNAc and Sia alpha2, 6Gal are endogenous ligands for ASGP-R and that ASGP-R participates in regulating the relative concentration of serum glycoproteins bearing alpha 2,6-linked Sia. The human ASGP-R is a hetero-oligomer composed of two subunits, both of which are found within this group. Langerin is expressed in a subset of dendritic leukocytes, the Langerhans cells (LC). Langerin induces the formation of Birbeck Granules (BGs) and associates with these BGs following internalization. Langerin binds, in a calcium-dependent manner, to glyco-conjugates containing mannose and related sugars mediating their uptake and degradation. Langerin molecules oligomerize as trimers with three CTLDs held together by a coiled-coil of alpha helices.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €U䢀0€0€ €‚¸cd03591, CLECT_collectin_like, C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in human collectins including lung surfactant proteins A and D, mannose- or mannan binding lectin (MBL), and CL-L1 (collectin liver 1). CLECT_collectin_like: C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in human collectins including lung surfactant proteins A and D, mannose- or mannan binding lectin (MBL), and CL-L1 (collectin liver 1). CTLD refers to a domain homologous to the carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs) of the C-type lectins. The CTLDs of these collectins bind carbohydrates on surfaces (e.g. pathogens, allergens, necrotic, or apoptotic cells) and mediate functions associated with killing and phagocytosis. MBPs recognize high mannose oligosaccharides in a calcium dependent manner, bind to a broad range of pathogens, and trigger cell killing by activating the complement pathway. MBP also acts directly as an opsonin. SP-A and SP-D in addition to functioning as host defense components, are components of pulmonary surfactant which play a role in surfactant homeostasis. Pulmonary surfactant is a phospholipid-protein complex which reduces the surface tension within the lungs. SP-A binds the major surfactant lipid: dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC). SP-D binds two minor components of surfactant that contain sugar moieties: glucosylceramide and phosphatidylinositol (PI). MBP and SP-A, -D monomers are homotrimers with an N-terminal collagen region and three CTLDs. Multiple homotrimeric units associate to form supramolecular complexes. MBL deficiency results in an increased susceptibility to a large number of different infections and to inflammatory disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €U墀0€0€ €‚Ûcd03592, CLECT_selectins_like, C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in the type 1 transmembrane proteins: P(platlet)-, E(endothelial)-, and L(leukocyte)- selectins (sels). CLECT_selectins_like: C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in the type 1 transmembrane proteins: P(platlet)-, E(endothelial)-, and L(leukocyte)- selectins (sels). CTLD refers to a domain homologous to the carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs) of the C-type lectins. P- E- and L-sels are cell adhesion receptors that mediate the initial attachment, tethering, and rolling of lymphocytes on inflamed vascular walls enabling subsequent lymphocyte adhesion and transmigration. L- sel is expressed constitutively on most leukocytes. P-sel is stored in the Weibel-Palade bodies of endothelial cells and in the alpha granules of platlets. E- sels are present on endothelial cells. Following platelet and/or endothelial cell activation P- sel is rapidly translocated to the cell surface and E-sel expression is induced. The initial step in leukocyte migration involves interactions of selectins with fucosylated, sialylated, and sulfated carbohydrate moieties on target ligands displayed on glycoprotein scaffolds on endothelial cells and leucocytes. A major ligand of P- E- and L-sels is PSGL-1 (P-sel glycoprotein ligand). Interactions of E- and P- sels with tumor cells may promote extravasation of cancer cells. Regulation of L-sel and P-sel function includes proteolytic shedding of the most extracellular portion (containing the CTLD) from the cell surface. Increased levels of the soluble form of P-sel in the plasma have been found in a number of diseases including coronary disease and diabetes. E- and P- sel also play roles in the development of synovial inflammation in inflammatory arthritis. Platelet P-sel, but not endothelial P-sel, plays a role in the inflammatory response and neointimal formation after arterial injury. Selectins may also function as signal-transducing receptors.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €U梀0€0€ €‚ 2cd03593, CLECT_NK_receptors_like, C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in natural killer cell receptors (NKRs). CLECT_NK_receptors_like: C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in natural killer cell receptors (NKRs), including proteins similar to oxidized low density lipoprotein (OxLDL) receptor (LOX-1), CD94, CD69, NKG2-A and -D, osteoclast inhibitory lectin (OCIL), dendritic cell-associated C-type lectin-1 (dectin-1), human myeloid inhibitory C-type lectin-like receptor (MICL), mast cell-associated functional antigen (MAFA), killer cell lectin-like receptors: subfamily F, member 1 (KLRF1) and subfamily B, member 1 (KLRB1), and lys49 receptors. CTLD refers to a domain homologous to the carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs) of the C-type lectins. NKRs are variously associated with activation or inhibition of natural killer (NK) cells. Activating NKRs stimulate cytolysis by NK cells of virally infected or transformed cells; inhibitory NKRs block cytolysis upon recognition of markers of healthy self cells. Most Lys49 receptors are inhibitory; some are stimulatory. OCIL inhibits NK cell function via binding to the receptor NKRP1D. Murine OCIL in addition to inhibiting NK cell function inhibits osteoclast differentiation. MAFA clusters with the type I Fc epsilon receptor (FcepsilonRI) and inhibits the mast cells secretory response to FcepsilonRI stimulus. CD72 is a negative regulator of B cell receptor signaling. NKG2D is an activating receptor for stress-induced antigens; human NKG2D ligands include the stress induced MHC-I homologs, MICA, MICB, and ULBP family of glycoproteins Several NKRs have a carbohydrate-binding capacity which is not mediated through calcium ions (e.g. OCIL binds a range of high molecular weight sulfated glycosaminoglycans including dextran sulfate, fucoidan, and gamma-carrageenan sugars). Dectin-1 binds fungal beta-glucans and in involved in the innate immune responses to fungal pathogens. MAFA binds saccharides having terminal alpha-D mannose residues in a calcium-dependent manner. LOX-1 is the major receptor for OxLDL in endothelial cells and thought to play a role in the pathology of atherosclerosis. Some NKRs exist as homodimers (e.g.Lys49, NKG2D, CD69, LOX-1) and some as heterodimers (e.g. CD94/NKG2A). Dectin-1 can function as a monomer in vitro.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €U碀0€0€ €‚[cd03594, CLECT_REG-1_like, C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in Human REG-1 (lithostathine), REG-4, and avian eggshell-specific proteins: ansocalcin, structhiocalcin-1(SCA-1), and -2(SCA-2). CLECT_REG-1_like: C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in Human REG-1 (lithostathine), REG-4, and avian eggshell-specific proteins: ansocalcin, structhiocalcin-1(SCA-1), and -2(SCA-2). CTLD refers to a domain homologous to the carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs) of the C-type lectins. REG-1 is a proliferating factor which participates in various kinds of tissue regeneration including pancreatic beta-cell regeneration, regeneration of intestinal mucosa, regeneration of motor neurons, and perhaps in tissue regeneration of damaged heart. REG-1 may play a role on the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease and in the development of gastric cancers. Its expression is correlated with reduced survival from early-stage colorectal cancer. REG-1 also binds and aggregates several bacterial strains from the intestinal flora and it has been suggested that it is involved in the control of the intestinal bacterial ecosystem. Rat lithostathine has calcium carbonate crystal inhibitor activity in vitro. REG-IV is unregulated in pancreatic, gastric, hepatocellular, and prostrate adenocarcinomas. REG-IV activates the EGF receptor/Akt/AP-1 signaling pathway in colorectal carcinoma. Ansocalcin, SCA-1 and -2 are found at high concentration in the calcified egg shell layer of goose and ostrich, respectively and tend to form aggregates. Ansocalcin nucleates calcite crystal aggregates in vitro.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €U袀0€0€ €‚§cd03595, CLECT_chondrolectin_like, C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in the human type-1A transmembrane proteins chondrolectin (CHODL) and layilin. CLECT_chondrolectin_like: C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in the human type-1A transmembrane proteins chondrolectin (CHODL) and layilin. CTLD refers to a domain homologous to the carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs) of the C-type lectins. CHODL is predominantly expressed in muscle cells and is associated with T-cell maturation. Various alternatively spliced isoforms have been of CHODL have been identified. The transmembrane form of CHODL is localized in the ER-Golgi apparatus. Layilin is widely expressed in different cell types. The extracellular CTLD of layilin binds hyaluronan (HA), a major constituent of the extracellular matrix (ECM). The cytoplasmic tail of layilin binds various members of the band 4.1/ERM superfamily (talin, radixin, and merlin). The ERM proteins are cytoskeleton-membrane linker molecules which link actin to receptors in the plasma membrane. Layilin co-localizes in with talin in membrane ruffles and may mediate signals from the ECM to the cell cytoskeleton.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €U颀0€0€ €‚cd03596, CLECT_tetranectin_like, C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in the tetranectin (TN), cartilage derived C-type lectin (CLECSF1), and stem cell growth factor (SCGF). CLECT_tetranectin_like: C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in the tetranectin (TN), cartilage derived C-type lectin (CLECSF1), and stem cell growth factor (SCGF). CTLD refers to a domain homologous to the carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs) of the C-type lectins. TN binds to plasminogen and stimulates activation of plasminogen, playing a key role in the regulation of proteolytic processes. The TN CTLD binds two calcium ions. Its calcium free form binds to various kringle-like protein ligands. Two residues involved in the coordination of calcium are critical for the binding of TN to the fourth kringle (K4) domain of plasminogen (Plg K4). TN binds the kringle 1-4 form of angiostatin (AST K1-4). AST K1-4 is a fragment of Plg, commonly found in cancer tissues. TN inhibits the binding of Plg and AST K1-4 to the extracellular matrix (EMC) of endothelial cells and counteracts the antiproliferative effects of AST K1-4 on these cells. TN also binds the tenth kringle domain of apolipoprotein (a). In addition, TN binds fibrin and complex polysaccharides in a Ca2+ dependent manner. The binding site for complex sulfated polysaccharides is N-terminal to the CTLD. TN is homotrimeric; N-terminal to the CTLD is an alpha helical domain responsible for trimerization of monomeric units. TN may modulate angiogenesis through interactions with angiostatin and coagulation through interaction with fibrin. TN may play a role in myogenesis and in bone development. Mice having a deletion in the TN gene exhibit a kyphotic spine abnormality. TN is a useful prognostic marker of certain cancer types. CLECSF1 is expressed in cartilage tissue, which is primarily intracellular matrix (ECM), and is a candidate for organizing ECM. SCGF is strongly expressed in bone marrow and is a cytokine for primitive hematopoietic progenitor cells.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Uꢀ0€0€ €‚ocd03597, CLECT_attractin_like, C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in human and mouse attractin (AtrN) and attractin-like protein (ALP).

CTLD refers to a domain homologous to the carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs) of the C-type lectins. Mouse AtrN (the product of the mahogany gene) has been shown to bind Agouti protein and to function in agouti-induced pigmentation and obesity. Mutations in AtrN have also been shown to cause spongiform encephalopathy and hypomyelination in rats and hamsters. The cytoplasmic region of mouse ALP has been shown to binds to melanocortin receptor (MCR4). Signaling through MCR4 plays a role in appetite suppression. Attractin may have therapeutic potential in the treatment of obesity. Human attractin (hAtrN) has been shown to be expressed on activated T cells and released extracellularly. The circulating serum attractin induces the spreading of monocytes that become the focus of the clustering of non-proliferating T cells.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €U뢀0€0€ €‚îcd03598, CLECT_EMBP_like, C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in the human proteins, eosinophil major basic protein (EMBP) and prepro major basic protein homolog (MBPH).

CTLD refers to a domain homologous to the carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs) of the C-type lectins. Eosinophils and basophils carry out various functions in allergic, parasitic, and inflammatory diseases. EMBP is stored in eosinophil crystalloid granules and is released upon degranulation. EMBP is also expressed in basophils. The proform of EMBP is expressed in placental X cells and breast tissue and increases significantly during human pregnancy. EMBP has cytotoxic properties and damages bacteria and mammalian cells, in vitro, as well as, helminth parasites. EMBP deposition has been observed in the inflamed tissue of allergy patients in a variety of diseases including asthma, atopic dermatitis, and rhinitis. In addition to its cytotoxic functions, EMBP activates cells and stimulates cytokine production. EMBP has been shown to bind the proteoglycan heparin. The binding site is similar to the carbohydrate binding site of other classical CTLD, such as mannose-binding protein (MBP1), however, heparin binding to EMBP is calcium ion independent. MBPH has reduced potency in cytotoxic and cytostimulatory assays compared with EMBP.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €U좀0€0€ €‚¡cd03599, CLECT_DGCR2_like, C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in DGCR2, an integral membrane protein deleted in DiGeorge Syndrome (DGS).

CTLD refers to a domain homologous to the carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs) of the C-type lectins. DGS is also known velo-cardio-facial syndrome (VCFS). DGS is a genetic abnormality that results in malformations of the heart, face, and limbs and is associated with schizophrenia and depressive disorders. DGCR2 is a candidate for involvement in the pathogenesis of DGS since the DGCR2 gene lies within the minimal DGS critical region (MDGRC) of 22q11, which when deleted gives rise to DGS, and the DGCR2 gene is in close proximity to the balanced translocation breakpoint in a DGS patient having a balanced translocation.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Uí¢€0€0€ €‚½cd03600, CLECT_thrombomodulin_like, C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in human thrombomodulin(TM), Endosialin, C14orf27, and C1qR. CLECT_thrombomodulin_like: C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in human thrombomodulin(TM), Endosialin, C14orf27, and C1qR. CTLD refers to a domain homologous to the carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs) of the C-type lectins. In these thrombomodulin-like proteins the residues involved in coordinating Ca2+ in the classical MBP-A CTLD are not conserved. TM exerts anti-fibrinolytic and anti-inflammatory activity. TM also regulates blood coagulation in the anticoagulant protein C pathway. In this pathway, the procoagulant properties of thrombin (T) are lost when it binds TM. TM also plays a key role in tumor biology. It is expressed on endothelial cells and on several type of tumor cell including squamous cell carcinoma. Loss of TM expression correlates with advanced stage and poor prognosis. Loss of function of TM function may be associated with arterial or venous thrombosis and with late fetal loss. Soluble molecules of TM retaining the CTLD are detected in human plasma and urine where higher levels indicate injury and/or enhanced turnover of the endothelium. C1qR is expressed on endothelial cells and stem cells. It is also expressed on monocots and neutrophils, where it is subject to ectodomain shedding. Soluble forms of C1qR retaining the CTLD is detected in human plasma. C1qR modulates the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells in vivo. C1qR-deficient mice are defective in clearance of apoptotic cells in vivo. The cytoplasmic tail of C1qR, C-terminal to the CTLD of CD93, contains a PDZ binding domain which interacts with the PDZ domain-containing adaptor protein, GIPC. The juxtamembrane region of this tail interacts with the ezrin/radixin/moesin family. Endosialin functions in the growth and progression of abdominal tumors and is expressed in the stroma of several tumors.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €U0€0€ €‚¬cd03601, CLECT_TC14_like, C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in lectins TC14, TC14-2, TC14-3, and TC14-4 from the budding tunicate Polyandrocarpa misakiensis and PfG6 from the Acorn worm.

TC14 is expressed constitutively by multipotent epithelial and mesenchymal cells and plays in role during budding, in inducing the aggregation of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells to give rise to epithelial forming tissue. TC14-2 and TC14-3 shows calcium-dependent galactose binding activity. TC14-3 is a cytostatic factor which blocks cell growth and dedifferentiation of the atrial epithelium during asexual reproduction. It may also act as a differentiation inducing factor. Galactose inhibits the cytostatic activity of TC14-3. The gene for Acorn worm PfG6 is gill-specific; PfG6 may be a secreted protein.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €U0€0€ €‚Ocd03602, CLECT_1, C-type lectin (CTL)/C-type lectin-like (CTLD) domain subgroup 1; a subgroup of protein domains homologous to the carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs) of the C-type lectins.

Like other members of the Nudix hydrolase superfamily of enzymes, it is thought to require a divalent cation, such as Mg2+, for its activity. It also contains a 23-residue Nudix motif (GX5EX7REUXEEXGU, where U = I, L or V) which functions as a metal binding site/catalytic site. In addition to the Nudix motif, there are additional conserved amino acid residues, distal from the signature sequence, that correlate with substrate specificity. In humans, there are four distinct ADPRase activities, three putative cytosolic (ADPRase-I, -II, and -Mn) and a single mitochondrial enzyme (ADPRase-m). ADPRase-m is also known as NUDT9. It can be distinugished from the cytosolic ADPRase by a N-terminal target sequence unique to mitochondrial ADPRase.

Members of this family are well represented in a variety of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Phylogenetic analysis reveals two distinct subgroups where plant enzymes fall into one group (represented by this subfamily) and fungi/animals/archaea enzymes fall into another. Bacterial enzymes are found in both subfamilies. Ap4A is a potential by-product of aminoacyl tRNA synthesis, and accumulation of Ap4A has been implicated in a range of biological events, such as DNA replication, cellular differentiation, heat shock, metabolic stress, and apoptosis. Ap4A hydrolase cleaves Ap4A asymmetrically into ATP and AMP. It is important in the invasive properties of bacteria and thus presents a potential target for the inhibition of such invasive bacteria. Besides the signature nudix motif (G[X5]E[X7]REUXEEXGU where U is Ile, Leu, or Val), Ap4A hydrolase is structurally similar to the other members of the nudix superfamily with some degree of variations. Several regions in the sequences are poorly defined and substrate and metal binding sites are only predicted based on kinetic studies.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨¢€0€0€ €‚Ïcd03672, Dcp2p, mRNA decapping enzyme 2 (Dcp2p), the catalytic subunit, and Dcp1p are the two components of the decapping enzyme complex. Decapping is a key step in both general and nonsense-mediated 5'->3' mRNA-decay pathways. Dcp2p contains an all-alpha helical N-terminal domain and a C-terminal domain which has the Nudix fold. While decapping is not dependent on the N-terminus of Dcp2p, it does affect its efficiency. Dcp1p binds the N-terminal domain of Dcp2p stimulating the decapping activity of Dcp2p. Decapping permits the degradation of the transcript and is a site of numerous control inputs. It is responsible for nonsense-mediated decay as well as AU-rich element (ARE)-mediated decay. In addition, it may also play a role in the levels of mRNA.

Studies of human ClC-4 have revealed that it gives rise to Cl currents that rapidly activate at positive voltages, and are sensitive to extracellular pH, with currents decreasing when pH falls below 6.5. ClC-4 is broadly distributed, especially in brain and heart. ClC-5 is predominantly expressed in the kidney, but can be found in the brain and liver. Mutations in the ClC-5 gene cause certain hereditary diseases, including Dent's disease, an X-chromosome linked syndrome characterised by proteinuria, hypercalciuria, and kidney stones (nephrolithiasis), leading to progressive renal failure. These proteins belong to the ClC superfamily of chloride ion channels, which share the unique double-barreled architecture and voltage-dependent gating mechanism. The gating is conferred by the permeating anion itself, acting as the gating charge. This domain is found in the eukaryotic halogen ion (Cl- and I-) channel proteins, that perform a variety of functions including cell volume regulation, the membrane potential stabilization, transepithelial chloride transport and charge compensation necessary for the acidification of intracellular organelles.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨(¢€0€0€ €‚ cd03685, ClC_6_like, ClC-6-like chloride channel proteins. This CD includes ClC-6, ClC-7 and ClC-B, C, D in plants. Proteins in this family are ubiquitous in eukarotes and their functions are unclear. They are expressed in intracellular organelles membranes. This family belongs to the ClC superfamily of chloride ion channels, which share the unique double-barreled architecture and voltage-dependent gating mechanism. The gating is conferred by the permeating anion itself, acting as the gating charge.

This family contains the large (alpha) subunit of B12-dependent glycerol dehydratases (GDHs) and B12-dependent diol dehydratases (DDHs). GDH is isofunctional with DDH. These enzymes can each catalyze the conversion of 1,2-propanediol, glycerol, and 1,2-ethanediol to the corresponding aldehydes via a coenzyme B12 (adenosylcobalamin)-dependent radical mechanism. Both enzymes exhibit a subunit composition of alpha2beta2gamma2. The enzymes differ in substrate specificity; glycerol is the preferred substrate for GDH and 1,2-propanediol for DDH. GDH shows almost equal affinity for both (R) and (S)-isomers while DDH prefers the (S) isomer. GDH plays a key role in the dihydroxyacetone (DHA) pathway and DDH in the anaerobic degradation of 1,2-diols. The radical mechanism has been well studied for Klebsiella oxytoca DDH and involves binding of 1,2-propanediol to the enzyme to induce hemolytic cleavage of the Co-C5' bond of the coenzyme to form cob(II)alamin and the adenosyl radical. Hydrogen abstraction from the substrate follows producing a substrate generated radical and 5'-deoxyadenosine. Rearrangement to the product radical is then followed by abstraction of a hydrogen atom from 5'-deoxyadenosine to produce the hydrated propionaldehyde and regenerate the adenosyl radical. After the Co-C5' bond is reformed and the hydrated aldehyde dehydrated, the process is complete. GDH has a higher affinity for coenzyme B12 than DDH. Both GDH and DDH are activated by various monovalent cations with K+, NH4+, and Rb+ being the most effective. However, DDH differs from GDH in that it is partially active with Cs+ and Na+. In general, the alpha and beta subunits for both enzymes are on different chains. However, for a subset of the GDHs, alpha and beta subunits appear to be on a single chain.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨*¢€0€0€ €‚Hcd03688, eIF2_gamma_II, Domain II of the gamma subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2. This subfamily represents domain II of the gamma subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (eIF2-gamma) found in eukaryota and archaea. eIF2 is a G protein that delivers the methionyl initiator tRNA to the small ribosomal subunit and releases it upon GTP hydrolysis after the recognition of the initiation codon. eIF2 is composed of three subunits, alpha, beta and gamma. Subunit gamma shows strongest conservation, and it confers both tRNA binding and GTP/GDP binding.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €|¢€0€0€ €‚Ácd03689, RF3_II, Domain II of bacterial Release Factor 3. This subfamily represents domain II of bacterial Release Factor 3 (RF3). Termination of protein synthesis by the ribosome requires two release factor (RF) classes. The class II RF3 is a GTPase that removes class I RFs (RF1 or RF2) from the ribosome after release of the nascent polypeptide. RF3 in the GDP state binds to the ribosomal class I RF complex, followed by an exchange of GDP for GTP and release of the class I RF. Sequence comparison of class II release factors with elongation factors shows that prokaryotic RF3 is more similar to EF-G whereas eukaryotic eRF3 is more similar to eEF1A, implying that their precise function may differ.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €|¢€0€0€ €‚6cd03690, Tet_II, Domain II of ribosomal protection proteins Tet(M) and Tet(O). This subfamily represents domain II of ribosomal protection proteins Tet(M) and Tet(O). This domain has homology to domain II of the elongation factors EF-G and EF-2. Tet(M) and Tet(O) catalyze the release of tetracycline (Tc) from the ribosome in a GTP-dependent manner thereby mediating Tc resistance. Tcs are broad-spectrum antibiotics. Typical Tcs bind to the ribosome and inhibit the elongation phase of protein synthesis, by inhibiting the occupation of site A by aminoacyl-tRNA.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €|¢€0€0€ €‚Žcd03691, BipA_TypA_II, Domain II of BipA. BipA (also called TypA) is a highly conserved protein with global regulatory properties in Escherichia coli. BipA is phosphorylated on a tyrosine residue under some cellular conditions. Mutants show altered regulation of some pathways. BipA functions as a translation factor that is required specifically for the expression of the transcriptional modulator Fis. BipA binds to ribosomes at a site that coincides with that of EF-G and has a GTPase activity that is sensitive to high GDP:GTP ratios and is stimulated by 70S ribosomes programmed with mRNA and aminoacylated tRNAs. The growth rate-dependent induction of BipA allows the efficient expression of Fis, thereby modulating a range of downstream processes, including DNA metabolism and type III secretion. The domain II of BipA shows similarity to the domain II of the elongation factors (EFs) EF-G and EF-Tu.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €|¢€0€0€ €‚;cd03692, mtIF2_IVc, C2 subdomain of domain IV in mitochondrial translation initiation factor 2. This model represents the C2 subdomain of domain IV of mitochondrial translation initiation factor 2 (mtIF2) which adopts a beta-barrel fold displaying a high degree of structural similarity with domain II of the translation elongation factor EF-Tu. The C-terminal part of mtIF2 contains the entire fMet-tRNAfmet binding site of IF-2 and is resistant to proteolysis. This C-terminal portion consists of two domains, IF2 C1 and IF2 C2. IF2 C2 has been shown to contain all molecular determinants necessary and sufficient for the recognition and binding of fMet-tRNAfMet. Like IF2 from certain prokaryotes such as Thermus thermophilus, mtIF2lacks domain II which is thought to be involved in binding of E.coli IF-2 to 30S subunits.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €|¢€0€0€ €‚cd03693, EF1_alpha_II, Domain II of elongation factor 1-alpha. This family represents domain II of elongation factor 1-alpha (EF-1A) that is found in archaea and all eukaryotic lineages. EF-1A is very abundant in the cytosol, where it is involved in the GTP-dependent binding of aminoacyl-tRNAs to the A site of the ribosomes in the second step of translation from mRNAs to proteins. Both domain II of EF-1A and domain IV of IF2/eIF5B have been implicated in recognition of the 3'-ends of tRNA. More than 61% of eukaryotic elongation factor 1A (eEF-1A) in cells is estimated to be associated with actin cytoskeleton. The binding of eEF-1A to actin is a noncanonical function that may link two distinct cellular processes, cytoskeleton organization and gene expression.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €|¢€0€0€ €‚ùcd03694, GTPBP_II, Domain II of the GTPBP family of GTP binding proteins. This group includes proteins similar to GTPBP1 and GTPBP2. GTPBP1 is structurally related to elongation factor 1 alpha, a key component of the protein biosynthesis machinery. Immunohistochemical analyses on mouse tissues revealed that GTPBP1 is expressed in some neurons and smooth muscle cells of various organs as well as macrophages. Immunofluorescence analyses revealed that GTPBP1 is localized exclusively in cytoplasm and shows a diffuse granular network forming a gradient from the nucleus to the periphery of the cells in smooth muscle cell lines and macrophages. No significant difference was observed in the immune response to protein antigen between mutant mice and wild-type mice, suggesting normal function of antigen-presenting cells of the mutant mice. The absence of an eminent phenotype in GTPBP1-deficient mice may be due to functional compensation by GTPBP2, which is similar to GTPBP1 in structure and tissue distribution.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €|¢€0€0€ €‚¶cd03695, CysN_NodQ_II, Domain II of the large subunit of ATP sulfurylase. This subfamily represents domain II of the large subunit of ATP sulfurylase (ATPS): CysN or the N-terminal portion of NodQ, found mainly in proteobacteria and homologous to the domain II of EF-Tu. Escherichia coli ATPS consists of CysN and a smaller subunit CysD. ATPS produces adenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (APS) from ATP and sulfate, coupled with GTP hydrolysis. In the subsequent reaction, APS is phosphorylated by an APS kinase (CysC), to produce 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) for use in amino acid (aa) biosynthesis. The Rhizobiaceae group (alpha-proteobacteria) appears to carry out the same chemistry for the sulfation of a nodulation factor. In Rhizobium meliloti, the heterodimeric complex comprised of NodP and NodQ appears to possess both ATPS and APS kinase activities. The N and C termini of NodQ correspond to CysN and CysC, respectively. Other eubacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes use a different ATP sulfurylase, which shows no amino acid sequence similarity to CysN or NodQ. CysN and the N-terminal portion of NodQ show similarity to GTPases involved in translation, in particular, EF-Tu and EF-1alpha.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €|¢€0€0€ €‚ycd03696, SelB_II, Domain II of elongation factor SelB. This subfamily represents the domain of elongation factor SelB that is homologous to domain II of EF-Tu. SelB may function by replacing EF-Tu. In prokaryotes, the incorporation of selenocysteine as the 21st amino acid, encoded by TGA, requires several elements: SelC is the tRNA itself, SelD acts as a donor of reduced selenium, SelA modifies a serine residue on SelC into selenocysteine, and SelB is a selenocysteine-specific translation elongation factor. 3' or 5' non-coding elements of mRNA have been found as probable structures for directing selenocysteine incorporation.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €| ¢€0€0€ €‚cd03697, EFTU_II, Domain II of elongation factor Tu. Elongation factors Tu (EF-Tu) are three-domain GTPases with an essential function in the elongation phase of mRNA translation. The GTPase center of EF-Tu is in the N-terminal domain (domain I), also known as the catalytic or G-domain. The G-domain is composed of about 200 amino acid residues, arranged into a predominantly parallel six-stranded beta-sheet core surrounded by seven alpha helices. Non-catalytic domains II and III are beta-barrels of seven and six, respectively, antiparallel beta-strands that share an extended interface. Both non-catalytic domains are composed of about 100 amino acid residues. EF-Tu proteins exist in two principal conformations: a compact one, EF-Tu*GTP, with tight interfaces between all three domains and a high affinity for aminoacyl-tRNA; and an open one, EF-Tu*GDP, with essentially no G-domain-domain II interactions and a low affinity for aminoacyl-tRNA. EF-Tu has approximately a 100-fold higher affinity for GDP than for GTP.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €| ¢€0€0€ €‚ñcd03698, eRF3_II_like, Domain II of the eukaryotic class II release factor-like proteins. This model represents the domain similar to domain II of the eukaryotic class II release factor (eRF3). In eukaryotes, translation termination is mediated by two interacting release factors, eRF1 and eRF3, which act as class I and II factors, respectively. eRF1 functions as an omnipotent release factor, decoding all three stop codons and triggering the release of the nascent peptide catalyzed by the ribosome. eRF3 is a GTPase, which enhances termination efficiency by stimulating eRF1 activity in a GTP-dependent manner. Sequence comparison of class II release factors with elongation factors shows that eRF3 is more similar to eEF-1alpha whereas prokaryote RF3 is more similar to EF-G, implying that their precise function may differ. Only eukaryote RF3s are found in this group. Saccharomyces cerevisiae eRF3 (Sup35p) is a translation termination factor which is divided into three regions N, M and a C-terminal eEF1a-like region essential for translation termination. Sup35NM is a non-pathogenic prion-like protein with the property of aggregating into polymer-like fibrils. This group also contains proteins similar to S. cerevisiae Hbs1, a G protein known to be important for efficient growth and protein synthesis under conditions of limiting translation initiation and to associate with Dom34. It has been speculated that yeast Hbs1 and Dom34 proteins may function as part of a complex with a role in gene expression.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €| ¢€0€0€ €‚Õcd03699, EF4_II, Domain II of Elongation Factor 4 (EF4). Elongation factor 4 (EF4 or LepA) is a highly conserved guanosine triphosphatase found in bacteria and eukaryotic mitochondria and chloroplasts. EF4 functions as a translation factor, which promotes back-translocation of tRNAs on posttranslocational ribosome complexes and competes with elongation factor G for interaction with pretranslocational ribosomes, inhibiting the elongation phase of protein synthesis.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €| ¢€0€0€ €‚cd03700, EF2_snRNP_like_II, Domain II of elongation factor 2 and C-terminal domain of the spliceosomal human 116kD U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) protein.

During the process of peptide synthesis and tRNA site changes, the ribosome is moved along the mRNA a distance equal to one codon with the addition of each amino acid. This translocation step is catalyzed by EF-2_GTP, which is hydrolyzed to provide the required energy. Thus, this action releases the uncharged tRNA from the P site and transfers the newly formed peptidyl-tRNA from the A site to the P site. Yeast Snu114p is essential for cell viability and for splicing in vivo. U5-116 kD binds GTP. Experiments suggest that GTP binding and probably GTP hydrolysis is important for the function of U5-116 kD/Snu114p.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €| ¢€0€0€ €‚äcd03701, IF2_IF5B_II, Domain II of prokaryotic Initiation Factor 2 and archaeal and eukaryotic Initiation Factor 5.

In E. coli, three natural forms of IF2 exist in the cell, IF2alpha, IF2beta1, and IF2beta2. Disruption of the eIF5B gene (FUN12) in yeast causes a severe slow-growth phenotype, associated with a defect in translation. eIF5B has a function analogous to prokaryotic IF2 in mediating the joining of the 60S ribosomal subunit. The eIF5B consists of three N-terminal domains (I, II, II) connected by a long helix to domain IV. Domain I is a G domain, domain II and IV are beta-barrels and domain III has a novel alpha-beta-alpha sandwich fold.

The C-terminal region is responsible for translation termination activity and is essential for viability. Saccharomyces cerevisiae eRF3 (Sup35p) is a translation termination factor which is divided into three regions: N, M and a C-terminal eEF1a-like region essential for translation termination.

Eukaryotic elongation factor 1 (EF-1) is responsible for the GTP-dependent binding of aminoacyl-tRNAs to ribosomes. EF-1 is composed of four subunits: the alpha chain, which binds GTP and aminoacyl-tRNAs; the gamma chain that probably plays a role in anchoring the complex to other cellular components; and the beta and delta (or beta') chains. This model represents the alpha subunit, which is the counterpart of bacterial EF-Tu for archaea (aEF-1 alpha) and eukaryotes (eEF-1 alpha).¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €|t¢€0€0€ €‚‡cd03706, mtEFTU_III, Domain III of mitochondrial EF-TU (mtEF-TU). mtEF-TU is highly conserved and is 55-60% identical to bacterial EF-TU.

However, compared with that observed in prokaryotic EF-TU, the nucleotide-binding domain (domain I) of mtEF-TU is in a different orientation relative to the rest of the structure. Furthermore, domain III is followed by a short 11-amino acid extension that forms one helical turn. This extension seems to be specific to the mitochondrial factors and has not been observed in any of the prokaryotic factors.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €|u¢€0€0€ €‚cd03707, EFTU_III, Domain III of Elongation Factor (EF) Tu. EF-Tu consists of three structural domains, designated I, II, and III. Domain III adopts a beta barrel structure. Domain III is involved in binding to both charged tRNA and to elongation factor Ts (EF-Ts). EF-Ts is the guanine-nucleotide-exchange factor for EF-Tu. EF-Tu and EF-G participate in the elongation phase during protein biosynthesis on the ribosome. Their functional cycles depend on GTP binding and its hydrolysis. The EF-Tu complexed with GTP and aminoacyl-tRNA delivers tRNA to the ribosome, whereas EF-G stimulates translocation, a process in which tRNA and mRNA movements occur in the ribosome. Crystallographic studies revealed structural similarities ("molecular mimicry") between tertiary structures of EF-G and the EF-Tu-aminoacyl-tRNA ternary complex.

The function(s) of the proteins in this family are unknown. The N-terminal domain of LepA is homologous to a domain of similar size found in initiation factor 2 (IF2), and in EF-Tu and EF-G (factors required for translation in Escherichia coli). Two types of phylogenetic tree, rooted by other GTP-binding proteins, suggest that eukaryotic homologs (including S. cerevisiae GUF1) originated within the bacterial LepA family. LepA has never been observed in archaea, and eukaryl LepA is organellar.

Eukaryotic cells harbor 2 protein synthesis systems: one localized in the cytoplasm, the other in the mitochondria. Most factors regulating mitochondrial protein synthesis are encoded by nuclear genes, translated in the cytoplasm, and then transported to the mitochondria. The eukaryotic system of elongation factor (EF) components is more complex than that in prokaryotes, with both cytoplasmic and mitochondrial elongation factors and multiple isoforms being expressed in certain species. During the process of peptide synthesis and tRNA site changes, the ribosome is moved along the mRNA a distance equal to one codon with the addition of each amino acid. In bacteria this translocation step is catalyzed by EF-G_GTP, which is hydrolyzed to provide the required energy.

Recently, it has been shown that all four SSB proteins interact with the MET, the receptor protein-tyrosine kinase for hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), and that SSB-1, SSB-2, and SSB-4 interact with prostate apoptosis response protein-4.

This asparagine synthase-related domain is present in eukaryotes but its function has not yet been determined. The glutaminase domain catalyzes an amide nitrogen transfer from glutamine to the appropriate substrate. In this process, glutamine is hydrolyzed to glutamic acid and ammonia. This domain is related to members of the Ntn (N-terminal nucleophile) hydrolase superfamily and is found at the N-terminus of enzymes such as glucosamine-fructose 6-phosphate synthase (GLMS or GFAT), glutamine phosphoribosylpyrophosphate (Prpp) amidotransferase (GPATase), asparagine synthetase B (AsnB), beta lactam synthetase (beta-LS) and glutamate synthase (GltS). GLMS catalyzes the formation of glucosamine 6-phosphate from fructose 6-phosphate and glutamine in amino sugar synthesis. GPATase catalyzes the first step in purine biosynthesis, an amide transfer from glutamine to PRPP, resulting in phosphoribosylamine, pyrophosphate and glutamate. Asparagine synthetase B synthesizes asparagine from aspartate and glutamine. Beta-LS catalyzes the formation of the beta-lactam ring in the beta-lactamase inhibitor clavulanic acid. GltS synthesizes L-glutamate from 2-oxoglutarate and L-glutamine. These enzymes are generally dimers, but GPATase also exists as a homotetramer.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨w¢€0€0€ €‚0cd03767, SR_Res_par, Serine recombinase (SR) family, Partitioning (par)-Resolvase subfamily, catalytic domain; Serine recombinases catalyze site-specific recombination of DNA molecules by a concerted, four-strand cleavage and rejoining mechanism which involves a transient phosphoserine linkage between DNA and the enzyme.

Resolvases (e.g. Tn3, gamma-delta, and Tn5044) normally recombine two sites in direct repeat causing deletion of the DNA between the sites. Invertases (e.g. Gin and Hin) recombine sites in inverted repeat to invert the DNA between the sites. Cointegrate resolution with gamma-delta resolvase requires the formation of a synaptosome of three resolvase dimers bound to each of two res sites on the DNA.

They are expressed in renal and intestinal brush border membranes, leukocytes, and cancer cells, and are capable of cleaving growth factors, cytokines, extracellular matrix proteins, and biologically active peptides. Meprin proteases are composed of two related subunits, alpha and beta, which form homo- or hetro-complexes where the basic unit is a disulfide-linked dimer. Despite their similarity, the two subunits differ in their ability to self-associate, in proteolytic processing during biosynthesis and in substrate specificity. Both subunits are synthesized as membrane spanning proteins, however, the alpha subunit is cleaved during biosynthesis and loses its transmembrane domain. Meprin beta forms homodimers or heterotetramers while meprin alpha oligomerizes into large complexes containing 10-100 subunits. Both alpha and beta subunits contain a catalytic astacin (M12 family) protease domain followed by the adhesion or interaction domains MAM, MATH and AM. The MATH and MAM domains provide symmetrical intersubunit disulfide bonds necessary for the dimerization of meprin subunits.

It contains an N-terminal TRAF-like domain and a C-terminal catalytic protease (C19 family) domain. The tumor suppressor p53 protein is a transcription factor that responds to many cellular stress signals and is regulated primarily through ubiquitylation and subsequent degradation. MDM2 is a RING-finger E3 ubiquitin ligase that promotes p53 ubiquitinylation. p53 and MDM2 bind to the same site in the N-terminal TRAF-like domain of HAUSP in a mutually exclusive manner. HAUSP also interacts with the Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) protein of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which efficiently immortalizes infected cells predisposing the host to a variety of cancers. EBNA1 plays several important roles in EBV latent infection and cellular transformation. It binds the same pocket as p53 in the HAUSP TRAF-like domain. Through interactions with p53, MDM2 and EBNA1, HAUSP plays a role in cell proliferation, apoptosis and EBV-mediated immortalization.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨}¢€0€0€ €‚=cd03773, MATH_TRIM37, Tripartite motif containing protein 37 (TRIM37) family, MATH domain; TRIM37 is a peroxisomal protein and is a member of the tripartite motif (TRIM) protein subfamily, also known as the RING-B-box-coiled-coil (RBCC) subfamily of zinc-finger proteins. Mutations in the human TRIM37 gene (also known as MUL) cause Mulibrey (muscle-liver-brain-eye) nanism, a rare growth disorder of prenatal onset characterized by dysmorphic features, pericardial constriction and hepatomegaly. TRIM37, similar to other TRIMs, contains a cysteine-rich, zinc-binding RING-finger domain followed by another cysteine-rich zinc-binding domain, the B-box, and a coiled-coil domain. TRIM37 is autoubiquitinated in a RING domain-dependent manner, indicating that it functions as an ubiquitin E3 ligase. In addition to the tripartite motif, TRIM37 also contains a MATH domain C-terminal to the coiled-coil domain. The MATH domain of TRIM37 has been shown to interact with the TRAF domain of six known TRAFs in vitro, however, it is unclear whether this is physiologically relevant. Eleven TRIM37 mutations have been associated with Mulibrey nanism so far.

It contains an N-terminal MATH domain and a C-terminal BTB (also called POZ) domain. Together with Cul3, SPOP constitutes an ubiquitin E3 ligase which is able to ubiquitinate the PcG protein BMI1, the variant histone macroH2A1 and the death domain-associated protein Daxx. Therefore, SPOP may be involved in the regulation of these proteins and may play a role in transcriptional regulation, apoptosis and X-chromosome inactivation. Cul3 binds to the BTB domain of SPOP whereas Daxx and the macroH2A1 nonhistone region have been shown to bind to the MATH domain. Both MATH and BTB domains are necessary for the nuclear speckled accumulation of SPOP.

Members of this family are similar to human HAUSP (Herpesvirus-associated ubiquitin-specific protease) in that they contain an N-terminal MATH domain and a C-terminal catalytic protease (C19 family) domain. HAUSP is also an ubiquitin-specific protease that specifically catalyzes the deubiquitylation of p53 and MDM2. The MATH domain of HAUSP contains the binding site for p53 and MDM2.

TRAF molecules serve as adapter proteins that link TNFRs and downstream kinase cascades resulting in the activation of transcription factors and the regulation of cell survival, proliferation and stress responses. TRAF6 is the most divergent in its TRAF domain among the mammalian TRAFs. In addition to mediating TNFR family signaling, it is also an essential signaling molecule of the interleukin-1/Toll-like receptor superfamily. Whereas other TRAF molecules display similar and overlapping TNFR-binding specificities, TRAF6 binds completely different sites on receptors such as CD40 and RANK. TRAF6 serves as a molecular bridge between innate and adaptive immunity and plays a central role in osteoimmunology. DTRAF2, as an activator of nuclear factor-kappaB, plays a pivotal role in Drosophila development and innate immunity. TRAF6 contains a RING finger domain, five zinc finger domains, and a TRAF domain. The TRAF domain can be divided into a more divergent N-terminal alpha helical region (TRAF-N), and a highly conserved C-terminal MATH subdomain (TRAF-C) with an eight-stranded beta-sandwich structure.

TRAF3 was first described as a molecule that binds the cytoplasmic tail of CD40. However, it is not required for CD40 signaling. More recently, TRAF3 has been identified as a key regulator of type I interferon (IFN) production and the mammalian innate antiviral immunity. It mediates IFN responses in Toll-like receptor (TLR)-dependent as well as TLR-independent viral recognition pathways. It is also a key element in immunological homeostasis through its regulation of the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10.

TRAF2 associates with the receptors TNFR-1, TNFR-2, RANK (which mediates differentiation and maturation of osteoclasts) and CD40 (which is important for the proliferation and activation of B cells), among others. It regulates distinct pathways that lead to the activation of nuclear factor-kappaB and Jun NH2-terminal kinases. TRAF2 also indirectly associates with death receptors through its interaction with TRADD (TNFR-associated death domain protein). It is involved in regulating oxidative stress or ROS-induced cell death and in the preconditioning of cells by sublethal stress for protection from subsequent injury. TRAF2 contains a RING finger domain, five zinc finger domains, and a TRAF domain.

TRAF1 expression is the most restricted among the TRAFs. It is found exclusively in activated lymphocytes, dendritic cells and certain epithelia. TRAF1 associates, directly or indirectly through heterodimerization with TRAF2, with the TNFR family receptors TNFR-2, CD30, RANK, CD40 and LMP1, among others. It also binds the intracellular proteins TRADD, TANK, TRIP, RIP1, RIP2 and FLIP. TRAF1 is unique among the TRAFs in that it lacks a RING domain, which is critical for the activation of nuclear factor-kappaB and Jun NH2-terminal kinase.

TRAF5 was identified as an activator of nuclear factor-kappaB and a regulator of lymphotoxin-beta receptor and CD40 signaling. Its interaction with CD40 is indirect, involving hetero-oligomerization with TRAF3. In addition, TRAF5 has been shown to associate with other TNFRs including CD27, CD30, OX40 and GITR (glucocorticoid-induced TNFR).

Sina, Siah and SINAT5 are RING-containing proteins that function as E3 ubiquitin ligases, acting either as single proteins or as a part of multiprotein complexes. Sina is expressed in many cells in the developing eye but is essential specifically for R7 photoreceptor cell development. Sina cooperates with Phyllopod (Phyl), Ebi and the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme Ubcd1 to catalyze the ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of Tramtrack (Ttk88); Ttk88 is a transcriptional repressor that blocks photoreceptor differentiation. Similarly, the mammalian homologue Siah1 cooperates with SIP (Siah-interacting protein), Ebi and the adaptor protein Skp1, to target beta-catenin for ubiquitination and degradation via a p53-dependent mechanism. SINAT5 targets NAC1 for ubiquitin-mediated degradation resulting in the downregulation of auxin, a hormone that controls many aspects of plant development. Other targets of Sina family proteins include c-Myb, synaptophysin, group 1 glutamate receptors, promyelocytic leukemia protein, alpha-synuclein, synphilin-1 and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, among others. Sina proteins also bind proteins that are not targets for ubiquitination such as Phyl, adenomatous polyposis coli, VAV, BAG-1 and Dab-1. Siah binds to a consensus motif, PXAXVXP, which is present in Siah-binding proteins. Siah is a dimeric protein consisting of an N-terminal RING domain, two zinc finger motifs and a C-terminal substrate-binding domain (SBD); this SBD contains an eight-stranded antiparallel beta-sandwich fold similar to the MATH (meprin and TRAF-C homology) domain.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨‰¢€0€0€ €‚_cd03855, M14_ASTE, Peptidase M14 Succinylglutamate desuccinylase (ASTE) subfamily. Peptidase M14 Succinylglutamate desuccinylase (ASTE, also known as N-succinyl-L-glutamate amidohydrolase, N2-succinylglutamate desuccinylase, and SGDS; EC 3.5.1.96) belongs to the Succinylglutamate desuccinylase (ASTE)/aspartoacylase (ASPA) subfamily of the M14 family of metallocarboxypeptidases. This group includes succinylglutamate desuccinylase that catalyzes the fifth and last step in arginine catabolism by the arginine succinyltransferase pathway. It hydrolyzes N-succinyl-L-glutamate to succinate and L-glutamate.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €  ¢€0€0€ €‚Ucd03856, M14_Nna1_like, Peptidase M14-like domain of ATP/GTP binding proteins, cytosolic carboxypeptidases and related proteins. Peptidase M14-like domain of Nna-1 (Nervous system Nuclear protein induced by Axotomy), also known as ATP/GTP binding protein (AGTPBP-1) and cytosolic carboxypeptidase (CCP), and related proteins. The Peptidase M14 family of metallocarboxypeptidases are zinc-binding carboxypeptidases (CPs) which hydrolyze single, C-terminal amino acids from polypeptide chains, and have a recognition site for the free C-terminal carboxyl group, which is a key determinant of specificity. This subfamily includes the human AGTPBP-1 and AGBL -2, -3, -4, and -5, and the mouse Nna1/CCP-1 and CCP -2 through -6. Nna1-like proteins are active metallopeptidases that are thought to act on cytosolic proteins such as alpha-tubulin, to remove a C-terminal tyrosine. Nna1 is widely expressed in the developing and adult nervous systems, including cerebellar Purkinje and granule neurons, miral cells of the olfactory bulb and retinal photoreceptors. Nna1 is also induced in axotomized motor neurons. Mutations in Nna1 cause Purkinje cell degeneration (pcd). The Nna1 CP domain is required to prevent the retinal photoreceptor loss and cerebellar ataxia phenotypes of pcd mice, and a functional zinc-binding domain is needed for Nna-1 to support neuron survival in these mice. Nna1-like proteins from the different phyla are highly diverse, but they all contain a characteristic N-terminal conserved domain right before the CP domain. It has been suggested that this N-terminal domain might act as a folding domain.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € ¡¢€0€0€ €‚ Ícd03857, M14-like_1, Peptidase M14-like domain; uncharacterized subfamily. Peptidase M14-like domain of a functionally uncharacterized subgroup of the M14 family of metallocarboxypeptidases (MCPs). The M14 family are zinc-binding carboxypeptidases (CPs) which hydrolyze single, C-terminal amino acids from polypeptide chains, and have a recognition site for the free C-terminal carboxyl group, which is a key determinant of specificity. Two major subfamilies of the M14 family, defined based on sequence and structural homology, are the A/B and N/E subfamilies. Enzymes belonging to the A/B subfamily are normally synthesized as inactive precursors containing preceding signal peptide, followed by an N-terminal pro-region linked to the enzyme; these proenzymes are called procarboxypeptidases. The A/B enzymes can be further divided based on their substrate specificity; Carboxypeptidase A-like (CPA-like) enzymes favor hydrophobic residues while carboxypeptidase B-like (CPB-like) enzymes only cleave the basic residues lysine or arginine. The A forms have slightly different specificities, with Carboxypeptidase A1 (CPA1) preferring aliphatic and small aromatic residues, and CPA2 preferring the bulky aromatic side chains. Enzymes belonging to the N/E subfamily enzymes are not produced as inactive precursors and instead rely on their substrate specificity and subcellular compartmentalization to prevent inappropriate cleavage. They contain an extra C-terminal transthyretin-like domain, thought to be involved in folding or formation of oligomers. MCPs can also be classified based on their involvement in specific physiological processes; the pancreatic MCPs participate only in alimentary digestion and include carboxypeptidase A and B (A/B subfamily), while others, namely regulatory MCPs or the N/E subfamily, are involved in more selective reactions, mainly in non-digestive tissues and fluids, acting on blood coagulation/fibrinolysis, inflammation and local anaphylaxis, pro-hormone and neuropeptide processing, cellular response and others. Another MCP subfamily, is that of succinylglutamate desuccinylase /aspartoacylase, which hydrolyzes N-acetyl-L-aspartate (NAA), and deficiency in which is the established cause of Canavan disease. Another subfamily (referred to as subfamily C) includes an exceptional type of activity in the MCP family, that of dipeptidyl-peptidase activity of gamma-glutamyl-(L)-meso-diaminopimelate peptidase I which is involved in bacterial cell wall metabolism.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Í¢€0€0€ €‚3cd03858, M14_CP_N-E_like, Peptidase M14 carboxypeptidase subfamily N/E-like. Carboxypeptidase (CP) N/E-like subfamily of the M14 family of metallocarboxypeptidases (MCPs). The M14 family are zinc-binding CPs which hydrolyze single, C-terminal amino acids from polypeptide chains, and have a recognition site for the free C-terminal carboxyl group, which is a key determinant of specificity. The N/E subfamily includes eight members, of which five (CPN, CPE, CPM, CPD, CPZ) are considered enzymatically active, while the other three are non-active (CPX1, PCX2, ACLP/AEBP1) and lack the critical active site and substrate-binding residues considered necessary for CP activity. These non-active members may function as binding proteins or display catalytic activity towards other substrates. Unlike the A/B CP subfamily, enzymes belonging to the N/E subfamily are not produced as inactive precursors that require proteolysis to produce the active form; rather, they rely on their substrate specificity and subcellular compartmentalization to prevent inappropriate cleavages that would otherwise damage the cell. In addition, all members of the N/E subfamily contain an extra C-terminal domain that is not present in the A/B subfamily. This domain has structural homology to transthyretin and other proteins and has been proposed to function as a folding domain. The active N/E enzymes fulfill a variety of cellular functions, including prohormone processing, regulation of peptide hormone activity, alteration of protein-protein or protein-cell interactions and transcriptional regulation.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € ¢¢€0€0€ €‚cd03859, M14_CPT, Peptidase M14 Carboxypeptidase T subfamily. Peptidase M14-like domain of carboxypeptidase (CP) T (CPT), CPT belongs to the M14 family of metallocarboxypeptidases (MCPs). The M14 family are zinc-binding CPs which hydrolyze single, C-terminal amino acids from polypeptide chains, and have a recognition site for the free C-terminal carboxyl group, which is a key determinant of specificity. CPT has moderate similarity to CPA and CPB, and exhibits dual-substrate specificity by cleaving C-terminal hydrophobic amino acid residues like CPA and C-terminal positively charged residues like CPB. CPA and CPB are M14 family peptidases but do not belong to this CPT group. The substrate specificity difference between CPT and CPA and CPB is ascribed to a few amino acid substitutions at the substrate-binding pocket while the spatial organization of the binding site remains the same as in all Zn-CPs. CPT has increased thermal stability in presence of Ca2+ ions, and two disulfide bridges which give an additional stabilization factor.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € £¢€0€0€ €‚cd03860, M14_CP_A-B_like, Peptidase M14 carboxypeptidase subfamily A/B-like. The Peptidase M14 Carboxypeptidase (CP) A/B subfamily is one of two main M14 CP subfamilies defined by sequence and structural homology, the other being the N/E subfamily. CPs hydrolyze single, C-terminal amino acids from polypeptide chains. They have a recognition site for the free C-terminal carboxyl group, which is a key determinant of specificity. Enzymes belonging to the A/B subfamily are normally synthesized as inactive precursors containing preceding signal peptide, followed by a globular N-terminal pro-region linked to the enzyme; these proenzymes are called procarboxypeptidases. The A/B enzymes can be further divided based on their substrate specificity; Carboxypeptidase A-like (CPA-like) enzymes favor hydrophobic residues while carboxypeptidase B-like (CPB-like) enzymes only cleave the basic residues lysine or arginine. There are nine members in the A/B family: CPA1, CPA2, CPA3, CPA4, CPA5, CPA6, CPB, CPO and CPU. CPA1, CPA2 and CPB are produced by the pancreas. The A forms have slightly different specificities, with CPA1 preferring aliphatic and small aromatic residues, and CPA2 preferring the bulkier aromatic side chains. CPA3 is found in secretory granules of mast cells and functions in inflammatory processes. CPA4 is detected in hormone-regulated tissues, and is thought to play a role in prostate cancer. CPA5 is present in discrete regions of pituitary and other tissues, and cleaves aliphatic C-terminal residues. CPA6 is highly expressed in embryonic brain and optic muscle, suggesting that it may play a specific role in cell migration and axonal guidance. CPU (also called CPB2) is produced and secreted by the liver as the inactive precursor, PCPU, commonly referred to as thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI). Little is known about CPO but it has been suggested to have specificity for acidic residues.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € ¤¢€0€0€ €‚ ±cd03862, M14-like_7, Peptidase M14-like domain; uncharacterized subfamily. A functionally uncharacterized subgroup of the M14 family of metallocarboxypeptidases (MCPs). The M14 family are zinc-binding carboxypeptidases (CPs) which hydrolyze single, C-terminal amino acids from polypeptide chains, and have a recognition site for the free C-terminal carboxyl group, which is a key determinant of specificity. Two major subfamilies of the M14 family, defined based on sequence and structural homology, are the A/B and N/E subfamilies.

Another subfamily (referred to as subfamily C) includes an exceptional type of activity in the MCP family, that of dipeptidyl-peptidase activity of gamma-glutamyl-(L)-meso-diaminopimelate peptidase I which is involved in bacterial cell wall metabolism.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Ñ¢€0€0€ €‚3cd03863, M14_CPD_II, Peptidase M14 carboxypeptidase subfamily N/E-like; Carboxypeptidase D, domain II subgroup. The second carboxypeptidase (CP)-like domain of Carboxypeptidase D (CPD; EC 3.4.17.22), domain II. CPD differs from all other metallocarboxypeptidases in that it contains multiple CP-like domains. CPD belongs to the N/E-like subfamily of the M14 family of metallocarboxypeptidases (MCPs).The M14 family are zinc-binding CPs which hydrolyze single, C-terminal amino acids from polypeptide chains, and have a recognition site for the free C-terminal carboxyl group, which is a key determinant of specificity. CPD is a single-chain protein containing a signal peptide, three tandem repeats of CP-like domains separated by short bridge regions, followed by a transmembrane domain, and a C-terminal cytosolic tail. The first two CP-like domains of CPD contain all of the essential active site and substrate-binding residues, while the third CP-like domain lacks critical residues necessary for enzymatic activity and is inactive towards standard CP substrates. Domain I is optimally active at pH 6.3-7.5 and prefers substrates with C-terminal Arg, whereas domain II is active at pH 5.0-6.5 and prefers substrates with C-terminal Lys. CPD functions in the processing of proteins that transit the secretory pathway, and is present in all vertebrates as well as Drosophila. It is broadly distributed in all tissue types. Within cells, CPD is present in the trans-Golgi network and immature secretory vesicles, but is excluded from mature vesicles. It is thought to play a role in the processing of proteins that are initially processed by furin or related endopeptidases present in the trans-Golgi network, such as growth factors and receptors. CPD is implicated in the pathogenesis of lupus erythematosus (LE), it is regulated by TGF-beta in various cell types of murine and human origin and is significantly down-regulated in CD14 positive cells isolated from patients with LE. As down -regulation of CPD leads to down-modulation of TGF-beta, CPD may have a role in a positive feedback loop.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € ¥¢€0€0€ €‚ìcd03864, M14_CPN, Peptidase M14 carboxypeptidase subfamily N/E-like; Carboxypeptidase N subgroup. Peptidase M14 Carboxypeptidase N (CPN, also known as kininase I, creatine kinase conversion factor, plasma carboxypeptidase B, arginine carboxypeptidase, and protaminase; EC 3.4.17.3) is an extracellular glycoprotein synthesized in the liver and released into the blood, where it is present in high concentrations. CPN belongs to the N/E subfamily of the M14 family of metallocarboxypeptidases (MCPs).The M14 family are zinc-binding carboxypeptidases (CPs) which hydrolyze single, C-terminal amino acids from polypeptide chains, and have a recognition site for the free C-terminal carboxyl group, which is a key determinant of specificity. CPN plays an important role in protecting the body from excessive buildup of potentially deleterious peptides that normally act as local autocrine or paracrine hormones. It specifically removes C-terminal basic residues. As CPN can cleave lysine more avidly than arginine residues it is also called lysine carboxypeptidase. CPN substrates include peptides found in the bloodstream, such as kinins (e.g. bradykinin, kalinin, met-lys-bradykinin), complement anaphylatoxins and creatine kinase MM (CK-MM). By removing just one amino acid, CPN can alter peptide activity and receptor binding. For example Bradykinin, a nine-residue peptide released from kiningen in response to tissue injury which is inactivated by CPN, anaphylatoxins which are regulated by CPN by the cleaving and removal of their C-terminal arginines resulting in a reduction in their biological activities of 10-100-fold, and creatine kinase MM, a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the reversible transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to creatine, and is regulated by CPN by the cleavage of C-terminal lysines. Like the other N/E subfamily members, two surface loops surrounding the active-site groove restrict access to the catalytic center, thus restricting larger protein carboxypeptidase inhibitors from inhibiting CPN.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € ¦¢€0€0€ €‚_cd03865, M14_CPE, Peptidase M14 carboxypeptidase subfamily N/E-like; Carboxypeptidase E subgroup. Peptidase M14 Carboxypeptidase (CP) E (CPE, also known as carboxypeptidase H, and enkephalin convertase; EC 3.4.17.10) belongs to the N/E subfamily of the M14 family of metallocarboxypeptidases (MCPs).The M14 family are zinc-binding CPs which hydrolyze single, C-terminal amino acids from polypeptide chains, and have a recognition site for the free C-terminal carboxyl group, which is a key determinant of specificity. CPE is an important enzyme responsible for the proteolytic processing of prohormone intermediates (such as pro-insulin, pro-opiomelanocortin, or pro-gonadotropin-releasing hormone) by specifically removing C-terminal basic residues. In addition, it has been proposed that the regulated secretory pathway (RSP) of the nervous and endocrine systems utilizes membrane-bound CPE as a sorting receptor. A naturally occurring point mutation in CPE reduces the stability of the enzyme and causes its degradation, leading to an accumulation of numerous neuroendocrine peptides that result in obesity and hyperglycemia. Reduced CPE enzyme and receptor activity could underlie abnormal placental phenotypes from the observation that CPE is down-regulated in enlarged placentas of interspecific hybrid (interspecies hybrid placental dysplasia, IHPD) and cloned mice.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € §¢€0€0€ €‚çcd03866, M14_CPM, Peptidase M14 carboxypeptidase subfamily N/E-like; Carboxypeptidase M subgroup. Peptidase M14 Carboxypeptidase (CP) M (CPM) belongs to the N/E subfamily of the M14 family of metallocarboxypeptidases (MCPs).The M14 family are zinc-binding CPs which hydrolyze single, C-terminal amino acids from polypeptide chains, and have a recognition site for the free C-terminal carboxyl group, which is a key determinant of specificity. CPM is an extracellular glycoprotein, bound to cell membranes via a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol on the C-terminus of the protein. It specifically removes C-terminal basic residues such as lysine and arginine from peptides and proteins. The highest levels of CPM have been found in human lung and placenta, but significant amounts are present in kidney, blood vessels, intestine, brain, and peripheral nerves. CPM has also been found in soluble form in various body fluids, including amniotic fluid, seminal plasma and urine. Due to its wide distribution in a variety of tissues, it is believed that it plays an important role in the control of peptide hormones and growth factor activity on the cell surface and in the membrane-localized degradation of extracellular proteins, for example it hydrolyses the C-terminal arginine of epidermal growth factor (EGF) resulting in des-Arg-EGF which binds to the EGF receptor (EGFR) with an equal or greater affinity than native EGF. CPM is a required processing enzyme that generates specific agonists for the B1 receptor.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € ¨¢€0€0€ €‚ðcd03867, M14_CPZ, Peptidase M14 carboxypeptidase subfamily N/E-like; Carboxypeptidase Z subgroup. Peptidase M14-like domain of carboxypeptidase (CP) Z (CPZ), CPZ belongs to the N/E subfamily of the M14 family of metallocarboxypeptidases (MCPs). The M14 family are zinc-binding CPs which hydrolyze single, C-terminal amino acids from polypeptide chains, and have a recognition site for the free C-terminal carboxyl group, which is a key determinant of specificity. CPZ is a secreted Zn-dependent enzyme whose biological function is largely unknown. Unlike other members of the N/E subfamily, CPZ has a bipartite structure, which consists of an N-terminal cysteine-rich domain (CRD) whose sequence is similar to Wnt-binding proteins, and a C-terminal CP catalytic domain that removes C-terminal Arg residues from substrates. CPZ is enriched in the extracellular matrix and is widely distributed during early embryogenesis. That the CRD of CPZ can bind to Wnt4 suggests that CPZ plays a role in Wnt signaling.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € ©¢€0€0€ €‚ Hcd03868, M14_CPD_I, Peptidase M14 carboxypeptidase subfamily N/E-like; Carboxypeptidase D, domain I subgroup. The first carboxypeptidase (CP)-like domain of Carboxypeptidase D (CPD; EC 3.4.17.22), domain I. CPD differs from all other metallocarboxypeptidases in that it contains multiple CP-like domains. CPD belongs to the N/E-like subfamily of the M14 family of metallocarboxypeptidases (MCPs).The M14 family are zinc-binding CPs which hydrolyze single, C-terminal amino acids from polypeptide chains, and have a recognition site for the free C-terminal carboxyl group, which is a key determinant of specificity. CPD is a single-chain protein containing a signal peptide, three tandem repeats of CP-like domains separated by short bridge regions, followed by a transmembrane domain, and a C-terminal cytosolic tail. The first two CP-like domains of CPD contain all of the essential active site and substrate-binding residues, the third CP-like domain lacks critical residues necessary for enzymatic activity and is inactive towards standard CP substrates. Domain I is optimally active at pH 6.3-7.5 and prefers substrates with C-terminal Arg, whereas domain II is active at pH 5.0-6.5 and prefers substrates with C-terminal Lys. This Domain I family contains two contiguous surface cysteines that may become palmitoylated and target the enzyme to membranes, thus regulating intracellular trafficking. CPD functions in the processing of proteins that transit the secretory pathway, and is present in all vertebrates as well as Drosophila. It is broadly distributed in all tissue types. Within cells, CPD is present in the trans Golgi network and immature secretory vesicles, but is excluded from mature vesicles. It is thought to play a role in the processing of proteins that are initially processed by furin or related endopeptidases present in the trans Golgi network, such as growth factors and receptors. CPD is implicated in the pathogenesis of lupus erythematosus (LE), it is regulated by TGF-beta in various cell types of murine and human origin and is significantly down-regulated in CD14 positive cells isolated from patients with LE. As down-regulation of CPD leads to down-modulation of TGF-beta, CPD may have a role in a positive feedback loop. In D. melanogaster, the CPD variant 1B short (DmCPD1Bs) is necessary and sufficient for viability of the fruit fly.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € ª¢€0€0€ €‚cd03869, M14_CPX_like, Peptidase M14 carboxypeptidase subfamily N/E-like; Carboxypeptidase X subgroup. Peptidase M14-like domain of carboxypeptidase (CP)-like protein X (CPX), CPX forms a distinct subgroup of the N/E subfamily of the M14 family of metallocarboxypeptidases (MCPs). The M14 family are zinc-binding CPs which hydrolyze single, C-terminal amino acids from polypeptide chains, and have a recognition site for the free C-terminal carboxyl group, which is a key determinant of specificity. Proteins belonging to this subgroup include CP-like protein X1 (CPX1), CP-like protein X2 (CPX2), and aortic CP-like protein (ACLP) and its isoform adipocyte enhancer binding protein-1 (AEBP1). AEBP1 is a truncated form of ACLP, which may arise from alternative splicing of the gene. These proteins are inactive towards standard CP substrates because they lack one or more critical active site and substrate-binding residues that are necessary for activity. They may function as binding proteins rather than as active CPs or display catalytic activity toward other substrates. Proteins in this subgroup also contain an N-terminal discoidin domain. The CP domain is important for the function of AEBP1 as a transcriptional repressor. AEBP1 is involved in several biological processes including adipogenesis, macrophage cholesterol homeostasis, and inflammation. In macrophages, AEBP1 promotes the expression of IL-6, TNF-alpha, MCP-1, and iNOS whose expression is tightly regulated by NF-kappaB activity. ACLP, a secreted protein that associates with the extracellular matrix, is essential for abdominal wall development and contributes to dermal wound healing.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € «¢€0€0€ €‚Ácd03870, M14_CPA, Peptidase M14 carboxypeptidase subfamily A/B-like; Carboxypeptidase A subgroup. Peptidase M14 Carboxypeptidase (CP) A (CPA) belongs to the A/B subfamily of the M14 family of metallocarboxypeptidases (MCPs). The M14 family are zinc-binding CPs which hydrolyze single, C-terminal amino acids from polypeptide chains, and have a recognition site for the free C-terminal carboxyl group, which is a key determinant of specificity. CPA enzymes generally favor hydrophobic residues. A/B subfamily enzymes are normally synthesized as inactive precursors containing preceding signal peptide, followed by a globular N-terminal pro-region linked to the enzyme; these proenzymes are called procarboxypeptidases. The procarboxypeptidase A (PCPA) is produced by the exocrine pancreas and stored as a stable zymogen in the pancreatic granules until secretion into the digestive tract occurs. This subfamily includes CPA1, CPA2 and CPA4 forms. Within these A forms, there are slightly different specificities, with CPA1 preferring aliphatic and small aromatic residues, and CPA2 preferring the bulkier aromatic side chains. CPA4, detected in hormone-regulated tissues, is thought to play a role in prostate cancer.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Ù¢€0€0€ €‚;cd03871, M14_CPB, Peptidase M14 carboxypeptidase subfamily A/B-like; Carboxypeptidase B subgroup. Peptidase M14 Carboxypeptidase B (CPB) belongs to the carboxypeptidase A/B subfamily of the M14 family of metallocarboxypeptidases (MCPs). The M14 family are zinc-binding CPs which hydrolyze single, C-terminal amino acids from polypeptide chains, and have a recognition site for the free C-terminal carboxyl group, which is a key determinant of specificity. Carboxypeptidase B (CPB) enzymes only cleave the basic residues lysine or arginine. A/B subfamily enzymes are normally synthesized as inactive precursors containing preceding signal peptide, followed by a globular N-terminal pro-region linked to the enzyme; these proenzymes are called procarboxypeptidases. The procarboxypeptidase B (PCPB) is produced by the exocrine pancreas and stored as stable zymogen in the pancreatic granules until secretion into the digestive tract occurs. PCPB has been reported to be a good serum marker for the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis and graft rejection in pancreas transplant recipients.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € ¬¢€0€0€ €‚Bcd03872, M14_CPA6, Peptidase M14 carboxypeptidase subfamily A/B-like; Carboxypeptidase A6 subgroup. Carboxypeptidase (CP) A6 (CPA6, also known as CPAH; EC 3.4.17.1), belongs to the carboxypeptidase A/B subfamily of the M14 family of metallocarboxypeptidases (MCPs). The M14 family are zinc-binding CPs which hydrolyze single, C-terminal amino acids from polypeptide chains, and have a recognition site for the free C-terminal carboxyl group, which is a key determinant of specificity. CPA6 prefers large hydrophobic C-terminal amino acids as well as histidine, while peptides with a penultimate glycine or proline are very poorly cleaved. Several neuropeptides are processed by CPA6, including Met- and Leu-enkephalin, angiotensin I, and neurotensin. CPA6 converts enkephalin and neurotensin into forms known to be inactive toward their receptors, but converts inactive angiotensin I into the biologically active angiotensin II. Thus, CPA6 plays a possible role in the regulation of neuropeptides in the extracellular environment within the olfactory bulb where it is highly expressed. It is also broadly expressed in embryonic tissue, being found in neuronal tissues, bone, skin as well as the lateral rectus eye muscle. A disruption in the CPA6 gene is linked to Duane syndrome, a defect in the abducens nerve/lateral rectus muscle connection.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € ­¢€0€0€ €‚Ûcd03873, Zinc_peptidase_like, Zinc peptidases M18, M20, M28, and M42. Zinc peptidases play vital roles in metabolic and signaling pathways throughout all kingdoms of life. This family corresponds to several clans in the MEROPS database, including the MH clan, which contains 4 families (M18, M20, M28, M42). The peptidase M20 family includes carboxypeptidases such as the glutamate carboxypeptidase from Pseudomonas, the thermostable carboxypeptidase Ss1 of broad specificity from archaea and yeast Gly-X carboxypeptidase. The dipeptidases include bacterial dipeptidase, peptidase V (PepV), a eukaryotic, non-specific dipeptidase, and two Xaa-His dipeptidases (carnosinases). There is also the bacterial aminopeptidase, peptidase T (PepT) that acts only on tripeptide substrates and has therefore been termed a tripeptidase. Peptidase family M28 contains aminopeptidases and carboxypeptidases, and has co-catalytic zinc ions. However, several enzymes in this family utilize other first row transition metal ions such as cobalt and manganese. Each zinc ion is tetrahedrally co-ordinated, with three amino acid ligands plus activated water; one aspartate residue binds both metal ions. The aminopeptidases in this family are also called bacterial leucyl aminopeptidases, but are able to release a variety of N-terminal amino acids. IAP aminopeptidase and aminopeptidase Y preferentially release basic amino acids while glutamate carboxypeptidase II preferentially releases C-terminal glutamates. Glutamate carbxypeptidase II and plasma glutamate carboxypeptidase hydrolyze dipeptides. Peptidase families M18 and M42 contain metalloaminopeptidases. M18 is widely distributed in bacteria and eukaryotes. However, only yeast aminopeptidase I and mammalian aspartyl aminopeptidase have been characterized in detail. Some of M42 (also known as glutamyl aminopeptidase) enzymes exhibit aminopeptidase specificity while others also have acylaminoacylpeptidase activity (i.e. hydrolysis of acylated N-terminal residues).¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ó×¢€0€0€ €‚ Ícd03874, M28_PMSA_TfR_like, M28 Zn-peptidase Transferrin Receptor-like family. Peptidase M28 family; Transferrin Receptor (TfR) and prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA, also called glutamate carboxypeptidase or GCP-II) subfamily. TfR and PSMA are homodimeric type II transmembrane proteins containing three distinct domains: protease-like, apical or protease-associated (PA) and helical domains. The protease-like domain is a large extracellular portion (ectodomain). In TfR, it contains a binding site for the transferrin molecule and has 28% identity to membrane glutamate carboxypeptidase II (mGCP-II or PSMA). The PA domain is inserted between the first and second strands of the central beta sheet in the protease-like domain. TfR1 is widely expressed, and is a key player in the uptake of iron-loaded transferrin (Tf) into cells. The TfR1 homodimer binds two molecules of Tf and the complex is then internalized. TfR1 may also participate in cell growth and proliferation. TfR2 binds Tf but with a significantly lower affinity than TfR1. It is expressed chiefly in hepatocytes, hematopoietic cells, and duodenal crypt cells; its expression overlaps with that of hereditary hemochromatosis protein (HFE). TfR2 is involved in iron homeostasis; in humans, mutations in TfR2 are associated with a form of hemochromatosis (HFE3). PSMA is over-expressed predominantly in prostate cancer (PCa) as well as neovasculature of most solid tumors, but not in the vasculature of normal tissues. PSMA is considered a biomarker for PCa and possibly for use as an imaging and therapeutic target. The extracellular domain of PSMA possesses two unique enzymatic functions: N-acetylated, alpha-linked acidic dipeptidase (NAALADase) which cleaves terminal glutamate from the neurodipeptide N-acetyl-aspartyl-glutamate (NAAG), and folate hydrolase (FOLH) which cleaves the terminal glutamates from gamma-linked polyglutamates (carboxypeptidase). A mutation in this gene may be associated with impaired intestinal absorption of dietary folates, resulting in low blood folate levels and consequent hyperhomocysteinemia. Expression of this protein in the brain may be involved in a number of pathological conditions associated with glutamate excitotoxicity. This gene likely arose from a duplication event of a nearby chromosomal region. Alternative splicing gives rise to multiple transcript variants. While related in sequence to peptidase M28 GCP-II, TfR lacks the metal ion coordination centers and protease activity.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €óØ¢€0€0€ €‚acd03875, M28_Fxna_like, M28 Zn-peptidase Endoplasmic reticulum metallopeptidase 1. Peptidase family M28; Endoplasmic reticulum metallopeptidase 1 (ERMP1; Felix-ina, FXNA or Fxna peptidase; KIAA1815) subfamily. ERMP1 is a multi-pass membrane protein located in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. In humans, Fxna may play a crucial role in processing proteins required for the organization of somatic cells and oocytes into discrete follicular structures, although which proteins are hydrolyzed has not yet been determined. Another member of this cluster is the 24-kDa vacuolar protein (VP24) which is probably involved in the formation of intravacuolar pigmented globules (cyanoplasts) in highly anthocyanin-containing vacuoles; however, the biological function of the C-terminal region which includes the putative transmembrane metallopeptidase domain is unknown.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €óÙ¢€0€0€ €‚Hcd03876, M28_SGAP_like, M28 Zn-peptidase Streptomyces griseus Aminopeptidase and similar proteins. Peptidase family M28; Streptomyces griseus Aminopeptidase (SGAP, Leucine aminopeptidase (LAP), aminopeptidase S, Mername-AA022 peptidase) subfamily. SGAP is a di-zinc exopeptidase with high preference towards large hydrophobic amino-terminal residues, with Leu being the most efficiently cleaved. It can accommodate all except Pro and Glu residues in the P1' position. It is a monomeric (30 kDa), calcium-activated and calcium-stabilized enzyme; its activation by calcium correlates with substrate specificity and it has thermal stability only in the presence of calcium. Although SGAP contains a calcium binding site, it is not conserved in many members of this subfamily. SGAP is present in the extracellular fluid of S. griseus cultures.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €óÚ¢€0€0€ €‚\cd03877, M28_like_PA, M28 Zn-Peptidases containing a PA domain insert. Peptidase family M28 (also called aminopeptidase Y family), uncharacterized subfamily. The M28 family contains aminopeptidases as well as carboxypeptidases. They have co-catalytic zinc ions; each zinc ion is tetrahedrally co-ordinated, with three amino acid ligands plus activated water; one aspartate residue binds both metal ions. This subfamily is composed of uncharacterized proteins, many of which contain a protease-associated (PA) domain insert which may participate in substrate binding and/or promote conformational changes, influencing the stability and accessibility of the site to substrate. Some proteins in this subfamily are also associated with the PDZ domain, a widespread protein module that has been recruited to serve multiple functions during the course of evolution.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €óÛ¢€0€0€ €‚îcd03879, M28_AAP, M28 Zn-Peptidase Aeromonas (Vibrio) proteolytica aminopeptidase. Peptidase family M28; Aeromonas (Vibrio) proteolytica aminopeptidase (AAP; leucine aminopeptidase from Vibrio proteolyticus; Bacterial leucyl aminopeptidase; E.C. 3.4.11.10) subfamily. AAP is a small (32kDa), heat stable leucine aminopeptidase and is active as a monomer. Similar forms of the enzyme have been isolated from Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus thermophilus. Leucine aminopeptidases, in general, play important roles in many biological processes such as protein catabolism, hormone degradation, regulation of migration and cell proliferation, as well as HIV infection and proliferation. AAP is a broad-specificity enzyme, utilizing two zinc(II) ions in its active site to remove N-terminal amino acids, with preference for large hydrophobic amino acids in the P1 position of the substrate, Leu being the most efficiently cleaved. It can accommodate all residues, except Pro, Asp and Glu in the P1' position.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €óÜ¢€0€0€ €‚cd03880, M28_QC_like, M28 Zn-Peptidase Glutaminyl Cyclase. Peptidase M28 family; Glutaminyl Cyclase (QC; EC 2.3.2.5) subfamily. QC is involved in N-terminal glutamine cyclization of many endocrine peptides and is typically abundant in brain tissue. N-terminal glutamine residue cyclization is an important post-translational event in the processing of numerous bioactive proteins, including neuropeptides, hormones, and cytokines during their maturation in the secretory pathway. The N-terminal pGlu protects them from exopeptidase degradation and/or enables them to have proper conformation for binding to the receptors. QCs are highly conserved from yeast to human. In humans, several genetic diseases, such as osteoporosis, appear to result from mutations of the QC gene. N-terminal glutamate cyclization into pyroglutamate (pGlu) is a reaction that may be related to the formation of several plaque-forming peptides, such as amyloid-(A) peptides and collagen-like Alzheimer amyloid plaque component, which play a pivotal role in Alzheimer's disease.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €óÝ¢€0€0€ €‚.cd03881, M28_Nicastrin, M28 Zn-Peptidase Nicastrin, a main component of gamma-secretase complex. Peptidase M28 family, Nicastrin subfamily. Nicastrin is a main component of gamma-secretase complex. Its extracellular domain sequence resembles aminopeptidases, but certain catalytic residues are not conserved. It is mainly localized to the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi. It is highly glycosylated (Mr 120 kDa) and is essential for substrate recognition of the N-terminus of gamma-secretase substrates derived from APP and Notch. Nicastrin facilitates substrate cleavage by the catalytic presenilin subunit in the gamma-secretase complex. One conserved glutamate is especially important, probably because this residue forms an ion pair with the amino terminus of the substrate. This substrate-binding domain is often called the DAP domain (named after DYIGS, the amino acid stretch that modulates amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing, and Peptidase homologous region). The sequence of the substrate N-terminus is apparently not critical for the interaction, but a free amino group is. Thus, nicastrin can be considered a kind of gatekeeper for the gamma-secretase complex: type I membrane proteins that have not shed their ectodomains cannot interact properly with nicastrin and do not gain access to the active site.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €óÞ¢€0€0€ €‚Ícd03882, M28_nicalin_like, M28 Zn-Peptidase Nicalin, Nicastrin-like protein. Peptidase M28 family, Nicalin (nicastrin-like protein) subfamily. Nicalin is distantly related to Nicastrin, a component of the Alzheimer's disease-associated gamma-secretase, and forms a complex with Nomo (nodal modulator) pM5. Similar to Nicastrin, Nicalin lacks the amino-acid conservation required for catalytically active aminopeptidases. Functional studies in zebrafish embryos and cultured human cells reveal that nicalin and Nomo collaborate to antagonize the Nodal/TGFbeta signaling pathway. Thus, nicastrin and nicalin are both associated with protein complexes involved in cell fate decisions during early embryonic development.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €óߢ€0€0€ €‚!cd03883, M28_Pgcp_like, M28 Zn-Peptidase Plasma glutamate carboxypeptidase. Peptidase M28 family; Plasma glutamate carboxypeptidase (PGCP; blood plasma glutamate carboxypeptidase; EC 3.4.17.21) subfamily. PGCP is a 56kDa glutamate carboxypeptidase that is mainly produced in mammalian placenta and kidney, the majority of which is thought to be secreted into the bloodstream. Similar proteins are also found in other species, including bacteria. These proteins contain protease-associated (PA) domain inserts between the first and second strands of the central beta sheet in the protease-like domain. The PA domains may participate in substrate binding and/or promoting conformational changes, which influence the stability and accessibility of the site to substrate. The exact physiological substrates of PGCP are unknown, although this enzyme may play an important role in the hydrolysis of circulating peptides. Its closest homolog encodes an important brain glutamate carboxypeptidase II (NAALADase) identical to the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), which serves as a marker for prostatic cancer metastasis. However, PGCP has not been linked to any type of cancer. It provides an attractive target for serological analysis in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €óࢀ0€0€ €‚ücd03884, M20_bAS, M20 Peptidase beta-alanine synthase, an amidohydrolase. Peptidase M20 family, beta-alanine synthase (bAS; N-carbamoyl-beta-alanine amidohydrolase and beta-ureidopropionase; EC 3.5.1.6) subfamily. bAS is an amidohydrolase and is the final enzyme in the pyrimidine catabolic pathway, which is involved in the regulation of the cellular pyrimidine pool. The bAS catalyzes the irreversible hydrolysis of the N-carbamylated beta-amino acids to beta-alanine or aminoisobutyrate under the release of carbon dioxide and ammonia. Also included in this subfamily is allantoate amidohydrolase (allantoate deiminase), which catalyzes the conversion of allantoate to (S)-ureidoglycolate, one of the crucial alternate steps in purine metabolism. It is possible that these two enzymes arose from the same ancestral peptidase that evolved into two structurally related enzymes with distinct catalytic properties and biochemical roles within the cell. Yeast requires beta-alanine as a precursor of pantothenate and coenzyme A biosynthesis, but generates it mostly via degradation of spermine. Disorders in pyrimidine degradation and beta-alanine metabolism caused by beta-ureidopropionase deficiency (UPB1 gene) in humans are normally associated with neurological disorders.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €óᢀ0€0€ €‚ecd03885, M20_CPDG2, M20 Peptidase Glutamate carboxypeptidase, a periplasmic enzyme.

CPDG2 is a periplasmic enzyme that is synthesized with a signal peptide. It is a dimeric zinc-dependent exopeptidase, with two domains, a catalytic domain, which provides the ligands for the two zinc ions in the active site, and a dimerization domain. CPDG2 cleaves the C-terminal glutamate moiety from a wide range of N-acyl groups, including peptidyl, aminoacyl, benzoyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, folyl, and pteroyl groups to release benzoic acid, phenol, and aniline mustards. It is used clinically to treat methotrexate toxicity by hydrolyzing it to inactive and non-toxic metabolites. It is also proposed for use in antibody-directed enzyme prodrug therapy; for example, glutamate can be cleaved from glutamated benzoyl nitrogen mustards, producing nitrogen mustards with effective cytotoxicity against tumor cells.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ó⢀0€0€ €‚cd04042, C2A_MCTP_PRT, C2 domain first repeat found in Multiple C2 domain and Transmembrane region Proteins (MCTP). MCTPs are involved in Ca2+ signaling at the membrane. MCTP is composed of a variable N-terminal sequence, three C2 domains, two transmembrane regions (TMRs), and a short C-terminal sequence. It is one of four protein classes that are anchored to membranes via a transmembrane region; the others being synaptotagmins, extended synaptotagmins, and ferlins. MCTPs are the only membrane-bound C2 domain proteins that contain two functional TMRs. MCTPs are unique in that they bind Ca2+ but not phospholipids. C2 domains fold into an 8-standed beta-sandwich that can adopt 2 structural arrangements: Type I and Type II, distinguished by a circular permutation involving their N- and C-terminal beta strands. Many C2 domains are Ca2+-dependent membrane-targeting modules that bind a wide variety of substances including bind phospholipids, inositol polyphosphates, and intracellular proteins. Most C2 domain proteins are either signal transduction enzymes that contain a single C2 domain, such as protein kinase C, or membrane trafficking proteins which contain at least two C2 domains, such as synaptotagmin 1. However, there are a few exceptions to this including RIM isoforms and some splice variants of piccolo/aczonin and intersectin which only have a single C2 domain. C2 domains with a calcium binding region have negatively charged residues, primarily aspartates, that serve as ligands for calcium ions.

Caenorabditis elegans Unc13 has a central domain with sequence similarity to PKC, which includes C1 and C2-related domains. Unc13 binds phorbol esters and DAG with high affinity in a phospholipid manner. Mutations in Unc13 results in abnormal neuronal connections and impairment in cholinergic neurotransmission in the nematode. Munc13 is the mammalian homolog which are expressed in the brain. There are 3 isoforms (Munc13-1, -2, -3) and are thought to play a role in neurotransmitter release and are hypothesized to be high-affinity receptors for phorbol esters. Unc13 and Munc13 contain both C1 and C2 domains. There are two C2 related domains present, one central and one at the carboxyl end. Munc13-1 contains a third C2-like domain. Munc13 interacts with syntaxin, synaptobrevin, and synaptotagmin suggesting a role for these as scaffolding proteins. C2 domains fold into an 8-standed beta-sandwich that can adopt 2 structural arrangements: Type I and Type II, distinguished by a circular permutation involving their N- and C-terminal beta strands. Many C2 domains are Ca2+-dependent membrane-targeting modules that bind a wide variety of substances including bind phospholipids, inositol polyphosphates, and intracellular proteins.

It has been suggested that PTPA alters the relative specificity of PP2A from phosphoserine/phosphothreonine substrates to phosphotyrosine substrates in an ATP-hydrolysis-dependent manner. Basal expression of PTPA is controlled by the transcription factor Yin Yang1 (YY1). PTPA has been suggested to play a role in the insertion of metals to the PP2A catalytic subunit (PP2Ac) active site, to act as a chaperone, and more recently, to have peptidyl prolyl cis/trans isomerase activity that specifically targets human PP2Ac.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨Š¢€0€0€ €‚½cd04088, EFG_mtEFG_II, Domain II of bacterial elongation factor G and C-terminal domain of mitochondrial Elongation factors G1 and G2. This family represents the domain II of bacterial Elongation factor G (EF-G)and mitochondrial Elongation factors G1 (mtEFG1) and G2 (mtEFG2). During the process of peptide synthesis and tRNA site changes, the ribosome is moved along the mRNA a distance equal to one codon with the addition of each amino acid. In bacteria this translocation step is catalyzed by EF-G_GTP, which is hydrolyzed to provide the required energy. Thus, this action releases the uncharged tRNA from the P site and transfers the newly formed peptidyl-tRNA from the A site to the P site. Eukaryotic cells harbor 2 protein synthesis systems: one localized in the cytoplasm, the other in the mitochondria. Most factors regulating mitochondrial protein synthesis are encoded by nuclear genes, translated in the cytoplasm, and then transported to the mitochondria. The eukaryotic system of elongation factor (EF) components is more complex than that in prokaryotes, with both cytoplasmic and mitochondrial elongation factors and multiple isoforms being expressed in certain species. mtEFG1 and mtEFG2 show significant homology to bacterial EF-Gs. Mutants in yeast mtEFG1 have impaired mitochondrial protein synthesis, respiratory defects and a tendency to lose mitochondrial DNA.

In eukaryotes, translation termination is mediated by two interacting release factors, eRF1 and eRF3, which act as class I and II factors, respectively. eRF1 functions as an omnipotent release factor, decoding all three stop codons and triggering the release of the nascent peptide catalyzed by the ribosome. eRF3 is a GTPase, which enhances termination efficiency by stimulating eRF1 activity in a GTP-dependent manner. Sequence comparison of class II release factors with elongation factors shows that eRF3 is more similar to eEF-1alpha whereas prokaryote RF3 is more similar to EF-G, implying that their precise function may differ. Only eukaryote RF3s are found in this group. Saccharomyces cerevisiae eRF3 (Sup35p) is a translation termination factor which is divided into three regions N, M and a C-terminal eEF1a-like region essential for translation termination.

This model represents domain III of the large subunit of ATP sulfurylase (ATPS): CysN or the N-terminal portion of NodQ, found mainly in proteobacteria and is homologous to domain III of EF-Tu. Escherichia coli ATPS consists of CysN and a smaller subunit CysD and CysN. ATPS produces adenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (APS) from ATP and sulfate, coupled with GTP hydrolysis. In the subsequent reaction APS is phosphorylated by an APS kinase (CysC), to produce 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) for use in amino acid (aa) biosynthesis. The Rhizobiaceae group (alpha-proteobacteria) appears to carry out the same chemistry for the sulfation of a nodulation factor. In Rhizobium meliloti, the heterodimeric complex comprised of NodP and NodQ appears to possess both ATPS and APS kinase activities. The N- and C-termini of NodQ correspond to CysN and CysC, respectively. Other eubacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes use a different ATP sulfurylase, which shows no amino acid sequence similarity to CysN or NodQ.

Yeast Snu114p is essential for cell viability and for splicing in vivo. U5-116 kD binds GTP. Experiments suggest that GTP binding and probably GTP hydrolysis is important for the function of the U5-116 kD/Snu114p. In complex with GTP, EF-2 promotes the translocation step of translation.

This domain is a beta-barrel domain (OB fold) involved in binding the tRNA anticodon stem-loop. Class 2b aaRSs include the homodimeric aspartyl-, asparaginyl-, and lysyl-tRNA synthetases (AspRS, AsnRS, and LysRS). aaRSs catalyze the specific attachment of amino acids (AAs) to their cognate tRNAs during protein biosynthesis. This 2-step reaction involves i) the activation of the AA by ATP in the presence of magnesium ions, followed by ii) the transfer of the activated AA to the terminal ribose of tRNA. In the case of the class2b aaRSs, the activated AA is attached to the 3'OH of the terminal ribose. Eukaryotes contain 2 sets of aaRSs, both of which are encoded by the nuclear genome. One set concerns with cytoplasmic protein synthesis, whereas the other exclusively with mitochondrial protein synthesis. Included in this group are archeal and archeal-like AspRSs which are non-discriminating and can charge both tRNAAsp and tRNAAsn. E. coli cells have two isoforms of LysRSs (LysS and LysU) encoded by two distinct genes, which are differentially regulated. The cytoplasmic and the mitochondrial isoforms of human LysRS are encoded by a single gene. Yeast cytoplasmic and mitochondrial LysRSs participate in mitochondrial import of cytoplasmic tRNAlysCUU. In addition to their housekeeping role, human LysRS may function as a signaling molecule that activates immune cells. Tomato LysRS may participate in a process possibly connected to conditions of oxidative-stress conditions or heavy metal uptake. It is known that human tRNAlys and LysRS are specifically packaged into HIV-1 suggesting a role for LysRS in tRNA packaging. AsnRS is immunodominant antigen of the filarial nematode Brugia malayai and is of interest as a target for anti-parasitic drug design. Human AsnRS has been shown to be a pro-inflammatory chemokine which interacts with CCR3 chemokine receptors on T cells, immature dendritic cells and macrophages.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¨–¢€0€0€ €‚{cd04101, RabL4, Rab GTPase-like family 4 (Rab-like4).

Centaurin gamma contains an additional GTPase domain near its N-terminus. The specific function of this GTPase domain has not been well characterized, but centaurin gamma 2 (CENTG2) may play a role in the development of autism. Centaurin gamma 1 is also called PIKE (phosphatidyl inositol (PI) 3-kinase enhancer) and centaurin gamma 2 is also known as AGAP (ArfGAP protein with a GTPase-like domain, ankyrin repeats and a Pleckstrin homology domain) or GGAP. Three isoforms of PIKE have been identified. PIKE-S (short) and PIKE-L (long) are brain-specific isoforms, with PIKE-S restricted to the nucleus and PIKE-L found in multiple cellular compartments. A third isoform, PIKE-A was identified in human glioblastoma brain cancers and has been found in various tissues. GGAP has been shown to have high GTPase activity due to a direct intramolecular interaction between the N-terminal GTPase domain and the C-terminal ArfGAP domain. In human tissue, AGAP mRNA was detected in skeletal muscle, kidney, placenta, brain, heart, colon, and lung.

They are found in higher eukaryotes where they play a role in immune resistance against intracellular pathogens. p47 proteins exist at low resting levels in mouse cells, but are strongly induced by Type II interferon (IFN-gamma). ITGP is critical for resistance to Toxoplasma gondii infection and in involved in inhibition of Coxsackievirus-B3-induced apoptosis. TGTP was shown to limit vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) infection of fibroblasts in vitro. IRG-47 is involved in resistance to T. gondii infection. LRG-47 has been implicated in resistance to T. gondii, Listeria monocytogenes, Leishmania, and mycobacterial infections. IIGP1 has been shown to localize to the ER and to the Golgi membranes in IFN-induced cells and inflamed tissues.

Signal recognition particle receptor, beta subunit (SR-beta). SR-beta and SR-alpha form the heterodimeric signal recognition particle (SRP or SR) receptor that binds SRP to regulate protein translocation across the ER membrane. Nascent polypeptide chains are synthesized with an N-terminal hydrophobic signal sequence that binds SRP54, a component of the SRP. SRP directs targeting of the ribosome-nascent chain complex (RNC) to the ER membrane via interaction with the SR, which is localized to the ER membrane. The RNC is then transferred to the protein-conducting channel, or translocon, which facilitates polypeptide translation across the ER membrane or integration into the ER membrane. SR-beta is found only in eukaryotes; it is believed to control the release of the signal sequence from SRP54 upon binding of the ribosome to the translocon. High expression of SR-beta has been observed in human colon cancer, suggesting it may play a role in the development of this type of cancer.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'c¢€0€0€ €‚¯cd04106, Rab23_like, Rab GTPase family 23 (Rab23)-like.

Rab23 mediates the activity of Gli2 and Gli3, transcription factors that regulate Shh signaling in the spinal cord, primarily by preventing Gli2 activation in the absence of Shh ligand. Rab23 also regulates a step in the cytoplasmic signal transduction pathway that mediates the effect of Smoothened (one of two integral membrane proteins that are essential components of the Shh signaling pathway in vertebrates). In humans, Rab23 is expressed in the retina. Mice contain an isoform that shares 93% sequence identity with the human Rab23 and an alternative splicing isoform that is specific to the brain. This isoform causes the murine open brain phenotype, indicating it may have a role in the development of the central nervous system.

Guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) interact with GDP-bound Rabs to promote the formation of the GTP-bound state.

This enables its participation in microtubular dynenin-dynactin-mediated repositioning of lysosomes from the cell periphery to the Golgi. A Rab34 (Rah) isoform that lacks the consensus GTP-binding region has been identified in mice. This isoform is associated with membrane ruffles and promotes macropinosome formation. Rab36 has been mapped to human chromosome 22q11.2, a region that is homozygously deleted in malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRTs). However, experimental assessments do not implicate Rab36 as a tumor suppressor that would enable tumor formation through a loss-of-function mechanism.

In Arabidopsis, Rab28 is expressed during embryo development and is generally restricted to provascular tissues in mature embryos. Unlike maize Rab28, it is not ABA-inducible. Characterization of the human Rab28 homolog revealed two isoforms, which differ by a 95-base pair insertion, producing an alternative sequence for the 30 amino acids at the C-terminus. The two human isoforms are presumably the result of alternative splicing. Since they differ at the C-terminus but not in the GTP-binding region, they are predicted to be targeted to different cellular locations.

Guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) interact with GDP-bound Rabs to promote the formation of the GTP-bound state. Rabs are further regulated by guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitors (GDIs), which facilitate Rab recycling by masking C-terminal lipid binding and promoting cytosolic localization.

RabL2 contains RabL2a and RabL2b, two very similar Rab proteins that share > 98% sequence identity in humans. RabL2b maps to the subtelomeric region of chromosome 22q13.3 and RabL2a maps to 2q13, a region that suggests it is also a subtelomeric gene. Both genes are believed to be expressed ubiquitously, suggesting that RabL2s are the first example of duplicated genes in human proximal subtelomeric regions that are both expressed actively.

Rab27a has multiple effector proteins, and depending on which effector it binds, Rab27a has different functions as well as tissue distribution and/or cellular localization. Putative functions have been assigned to Rab27a when associated with the effector proteins Slp1, Slp2, Slp3, Slp4, Slp5, DmSlp, rabphilin, Dm/Ce-rabphilin, Slac2-a, Slac2-b, Slac2-c, Noc2, JFC1, and Munc13-4. Rab27a has been associated with several human diseases, including hemophagocytic syndrome (Griscelli syndrome or GS), Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, and choroidermia. In the case of GS, a rare, autosomal recessive disease, a Rab27a mutation is directly responsible for the disorder. When Rab27a is localized to the secretory granules of pancreatic beta cells, it is believed to mediate glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, making it a potential target for diabetes therapy. When bound to JFC1 in prostate cells, Rab27a is believed to regulate the exocytosis of prostate- specific markers.

Spg1p (septum-promoting GTPase) was first identified in the fission yeast S. pombe, where it regulates septum formation in the septation initiation network (SIN) through the cdc7 protein kinase. Spg1p is an essential gene that localizes to the spindle pole bodies. When GTP-bound, it binds cdc7 and causes it to translocate to spindle poles. Sid4p (septation initiation defective) is required for localization of Spg1p to the spindle pole body, and the ability of Spg1p to promote septum formation from any point in the cell cycle depends on Sid4p. Spg1p is negatively regulated by Byr4 and cdc16, which form a two-component GTPase activating protein (GAP) for Spg1p. The existence of a SIN-related pathway in plants has been proposed.

Rho2 is a fungal GTPase that plays a role in cell morphogenesis, control of cell wall integrity, control of growth polarity, and maintenance of growth direction. Rho2 activates the protein kinase C homolog Pck2, and Pck2 controls Mok1, the major (1-3) alpha-D-glucan synthase. Together with Rho1 (RhoA), Rho2 regulates the construction of the cell wall. Unlike Rho1, Rho2 is not an essential protein, but its overexpression is lethal. Most Rho proteins contain a lipid modification site at the C-terminus, with a typical sequence motif CaaX, where a = an aliphatic amino acid and X = any amino acid.

Wrch-1 (Wnt-1 responsive Cdc42 homolog) is a Rho family GTPase that shares significant sequence and functional similarity with Cdc42. Wrch-1 was first identified in mouse mammary epithelial cells, where its transcription is upregulated in Wnt-1 transformation. Wrch-1 contains N- and C-terminal extensions relative to cdc42, suggesting potential differences in cellular localization and function. The Wrch-1 N-terminal extension contains putative SH3 domain-binding motifs and has been shown to bind the SH3 domain-containing protein Grb2, which increases the level of active Wrch-1 in cells. Unlike Cdc42, which localizes to the cytosol and perinuclear membranes, Wrch-1 localizes extensively with the plasma membrane and endosomes. The membrane association, localization, and biological activity of Wrch-1 indicate an atypical model of regulation distinct from other Rho family GTPases.

These novel Rho family proteins have substantial structural differences compared to other Rho members, including N- and C-terminal extensions relative to other Rhos. Rnd3/RhoE is farnesylated at the C-terminal prenylation site, unlike most other Rho proteins that are geranylgeranylated. In addition, Rnd members are unable to hydrolyze GTP and are resistant to GAP activity. They are believed to exist only in the GTP-bound conformation, and are antagonists of RhoA activity.

Rho4 regulates septation and cell morphology by controlling the actin cytoskeleton and cytoplasmic microtubules. The localization of Rho4 is modulated by Rdi1, which may function as a GDI, and by Rga9, which is believed to function as a GAP. In S. pombe, both Rho4 deletion and Rho4 overexpression result in a defective cell wall, suggesting a role for Rho4 in maintaining cell wall integrity.

The Rop (Rho-related protein from plants) subfamily plays a role in diverse cellular processes, including cytoskeletal organization, pollen and vegetative cell growth, hormone responses, stress responses, and pathogen resistance. Rops are able to regulate several downstream pathways to amplify a specific signal by acting as master switches early in the signaling cascade. They transmit a variety of extracellular and intracellular signals. Rops are involved in establishing cell polarity in root-hair development, root-hair elongation, pollen-tube growth, cell-shape formation, responses to hormones such as abscisic acid (ABA) and auxin, responses to abiotic stresses such as oxygen deprivation, and disease resistance and disease susceptibility. An individual Rop can have a unique function or an overlapping function shared with other Rop proteins; in addition, a given Rop-regulated function can be controlled by one or multiple Rop proteins. For example, Rop1, Rop3, and Rop5 are all involved in pollen-tube growth; Rop2 plays a role in response to low-oxygen environments, cell-morphology, and root-hair development; root-hair development is also regulated by Rop4 and Rop6; Rop6 is also responsible for ABA response, and ABA response is also regulated by Rop10. Plants retain some of the regulatory mechanisms that are shared by other members of the Rho family, but have also developed a number of unique modes for regulating Rops. Unique RhoGEFs have been identified that are exclusively active toward Rop proteins, such as those containing the domain PRONE (plant-specific Rop nucleotide exchanger).

Rho3 is believed to regulate cell polarity by interacting with the diaphanous/formin family protein For3 to control both the actin cytoskeleton and microtubules. Rho3 is also believed to have a direct role in exocytosis that is independent of its role in regulating actin polarity. The function in exocytosis may be two-pronged: first, in the transport of post-Golgi vesicles from the mother cell to the bud, mediated by myosin (Myo2); second, in the docking and fusion of vesicles to the plasma membrane, mediated by an exocyst (Exo70) protein.

TC10 is a Rho family protein that has been shown to induce microspike formation and neurite outgrowth in vitro. Its expression changes dramatically after peripheral nerve injury, suggesting an important role in promoting axonal outgrowth and regeneration. TC10 regulates translocation of insulin-stimulated GLUT4 in adipocytes and has also been shown to bind directly to Golgi COPI coat proteins. GTP-bound TC10 in vitro can bind numerous potential effectors. Depending on its subcellular localization and distinct functional domains, TC10 can differentially regulate two types of filamentous actin in adipocytes. TC10 mRNAs are highly expressed in three types of mouse muscle tissues: leg skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and uterus; they were also present in brain, with higher levels in adults than in newborns. TC10 has also been shown to play a role in regulating the expression of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) through interactions with CFTR-associated ligand (CAL). The GTP-bound form of TC10 directs the trafficking of CFTR from the juxtanuclear region to the secretory pathway toward the plasma membrane, away from CAL-mediated DFTR degradation in the lysosome.

The Rap subfamily consists of the Rap1, Rap2, and RSR1. Rap subfamily proteins perform different cellular functions, depending on the isoform and its subcellular localization. For example, in rat salivary gland, neutrophils, and platelets, Rap1 localizes to secretory granules and is believed to regulate exocytosis or the formation of secretory granules. Rap1 has also been shown to localize in the Golgi of rat fibroblasts, zymogen granules, plasma membrane, and microsomal membrane of the pancreatic acini, as well as in the endocytic compartment of skeletal muscle cells and fibroblasts. Rap1 localizes in the nucleus of human oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) and cell lines. Rap1 plays a role in phagocytosis by controlling the binding of adhesion receptors (typically integrins) to their ligands. In yeast, Rap1 has been implicated in multiple functions, including activation and silencing of transcription and maintenance of telomeres. Rap2 is involved in multiple functions, including activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) to regulate the actin cytoskeleton and activation of the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway in embryonic Xenopus. A number of effector proteins for Rap2 have been identified, including isoform 3 of the human mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 4 (MAP4K4) and Traf2- and Nck-interacting kinase (TNIK), and the RalGEFs RalGDS, RGL, and Rlf, which also interact with Rap1 and Ras. RSR1 is the fungal homolog of Rap1 and Rap2. In budding yeasts, it is involved in selecting a site for bud growth, which directs the establishment of cell polarization. The Rho family GTPase Cdc42 and its GEF, Cdc24, then establish an axis of polarized growth. It is believed that Cdc42 interacts directly with RSR1 in vivo. In filamentous fungi such as Ashbya gossypii, RSR1 is a key regulator of polar growth in the hypha.

Rheb (Ras Homolog Enriched in Brain) subfamily. Rheb was initially identified in rat brain, where its expression is elevated by seizures or by long-term potentiation. It is expressed ubiquitously, with elevated levels in muscle and brain. Rheb functions as an important mediator between the tuberous sclerosis complex proteins, TSC1 and TSC2, and the mammalian target of rapamycin (TOR) kinase to stimulate cell growth. TOR kinase regulates cell growth by controlling nutrient availability, growth factors, and the energy status of the cell. TSC1 and TSC2 form a dimeric complex that has tumor suppressor activity, and TSC2 is a GTPase activating protein (GAP) for Rheb. The TSC1/TSC2 complex inhibits the activation of TOR kinase through Rheb. Rheb has also been shown to induce the formation of large cytoplasmic vacuoles in a process that is dependent on the GTPase cycle of Rheb, but independent of the TOR kinase, suggesting Rheb plays a role in endocytic trafficking that leads to cell growth and cell-cycle progression.

H-Ras/N-Ras/K-Ras subfamily. H-Ras, N-Ras, and K-Ras4A/4B are the prototypical members of the Ras family. These isoforms generate distinct signal outputs despite interacting with a common set of activators and effectors, and are strongly associated with oncogenic progression in tumor initiation. Mutated versions of Ras that are insensitive to GAP stimulation (and are therefore constitutively active) are found in a significant fraction of human cancers. Many Ras guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) have been identified. They are sequestered in the cytosol until activation by growth factors triggers recruitment to the plasma membrane or Golgi, where the GEF colocalizes with Ras. Active (GTP-bound) Ras interacts with several effector proteins that stimulate a variety of diverse cytoplasmic signaling activities. Some are known to positively mediate the oncogenic properties of Ras, including Raf, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), RalGEFs, and Tiam1. Others are proposed to play negative regulatory roles in oncogenesis, including RASSF and NORE/MST1.

Ral proteins are believed to play a crucial role in tumorigenesis, metastasis, endocytosis, and actin cytoskeleton dynamics. Despite their high sequence similarity (>80% sequence identity), nonoverlapping and opposing functions have been assigned to RalA and RalBs in tumor migration. In human bladder and prostate cancer cells, RalB promotes migration while RalA inhibits it. A Ral-specific set of GEFs has been identified that are activated by Ras binding. This RalGEF activity is enhanced by Ras binding to another of its target proteins, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). Ral effectors include RLIP76/RalBP1, a Rac/cdc42 GAP, and the exocyst (Sec6/8) complex, a heterooctomeric protein complex that is involved in tethering vesicles to specific sites on the plasma membrane prior to exocytosis. In rat kidney cells, RalB is required for functional assembly of the exocyst and for localizing the exocyst to the leading edge of migrating cells. In human cancer cells, RalA is required to support anchorage-independent proliferation and RalB is required to suppress apoptosis. RalA has been shown to localize to the plasma membrane while RalB is localized to the intracellular vesicles.

ARHI (A Ras homolog member I) is a member of the Ras family with several unique structural and functional properties. ARHI is expressed in normal human ovarian and breast tissue, but its expression is decreased or eliminated in breast and ovarian cancer. ARHI contains an N-terminal extension of 34 residues (human) that is required to retain its tumor suppressive activity. Unlike most other Ras family members, ARHI is maintained in the constitutively active (GTP-bound) state in resting cells and has modest GTPase activity. ARHI inhibits STAT3 (signal transducers and activators of transcription 3), a latent transcription factor whose abnormal activation plays a critical role in oncogenesis. Most Ras proteins contain a lipid modification site at the C-terminus, with a typical sequence motif CaaX, where a = an aliphatic amino acid and X = any amino acid. Lipid binding is essential for membrane attachment, a key feature of most Ras proteins. Due to the presence of truncated sequences in this CD, the lipid modification site is not available for annotation.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'w¢€0€0€ €‚ócd04141, Rit_Rin_Ric, Ras-like protein in all tissues (Rit), Ras-like protein in neurons (Rin) and Ras-related protein which interacts with calmodulin (Ric). Rit (Ras-like protein in all tissues), Rin (Ras-like protein in neurons) and Ric (Ras-related protein which interacts with calmodulin) form a subfamily with several unique structural and functional characteristics. These proteins all lack a the C-terminal CaaX lipid-binding motif typical of Ras family proteins, and Rin and Ric contain calmodulin-binding domains. Rin, which is expressed only in neurons, induces neurite outgrowth in rat pheochromocytoma cells through its association with calmodulin and its activation of endogenous Rac/cdc42. Rit, which is ubiquitously expressed in mammals, inhibits growth-factor withdrawl-mediated apoptosis and induces neurite extension in pheochromocytoma cells. Rit and Rin are both able to form a ternary complex with PAR6, a cell polarity-regulating protein, and Rac/cdc42. This ternary complex is proposed to have physiological function in processes such as tumorigenesis. Activated Ric is likely to signal in parallel with the Ras pathway or stimulate the Ras pathway at some upstream point, and binding of calmodulin to Ric may negatively regulate Ric activity.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'x¢€0€0€ €‚ûcd04142, RRP22, Ras-related protein on chromosome 22 (RRP22) family. RRP22 (Ras-related protein on chromosome 22) subfamily consists of proteins that inhibit cell growth and promote caspase-independent cell death. Unlike most Ras proteins, RRP22 is down-regulated in many human tumor cells due to promoter methylation. RRP22 localizes to the nucleolus in a GTP-dependent manner, suggesting a novel function in modulating transport of nucleolar components. Most Ras proteins contain a lipid modification site at the C-terminus, with a typical sequence motif CaaX, where a = an aliphatic amino acid and X = any amino acid. Lipid binding is essential for membrane attachment, a key feature of most Ras proteins. Like most Ras family proteins, RRP22 is farnesylated.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Þ¢€0€0€ €‚Ècd04143, Rhes_like, Ras homolog enriched in striatum (Rhes) and activator of G-protein signaling 1 (Dexras1/AGS1). This subfamily includes Rhes (Ras homolog enriched in striatum) and Dexras1/AGS1 (activator of G-protein signaling 1). These proteins are homologous, but exhibit significant differences in tissue distribution and subcellular localization. Rhes is found primarily in the striatum of the brain, but is also expressed in other areas of the brain, such as the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, inferior colliculus, and cerebellum. Rhes expression is controlled by thyroid hormones. In rat PC12 cells, Rhes is farnesylated and localizes to the plasma membrane. Rhes binds and activates PI3K, and plays a role in coupling serpentine membrane receptors with heterotrimeric G-protein signaling. Rhes has recently been shown to be reduced under conditions of dopamine supersensitivity and may play a role in determining dopamine receptor sensitivity. Dexras1/AGS1 is a dexamethasone-induced Ras protein that is expressed primarily in the brain, with low expression levels in other tissues. Dexras1 localizes primarily to the cytoplasm, and is a critical regulator of the circadian master clock to photic and nonphotic input. Most Ras proteins contain a lipid modification site at the C-terminus, with a typical sequence motif CaaX, where a = an aliphatic amino acid and X = any amino acid. Lipid binding is essential for membrane attachment, a key feature of most Ras proteins.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ߢ€0€0€ €‚Æcd04144, Ras2, Rat sarcoma (Ras) family 2 of small guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases). The Ras2 subfamily, found exclusively in fungi, was first identified in Ustilago maydis. In U. maydis, Ras2 is regulated by Sql2, a protein that is homologous to GEFs (guanine nucleotide exchange factors) of the CDC25 family. Ras2 has been shown to induce filamentous growth, but the signaling cascade through which Ras2 and Sql2 regulate cell morphology is not known. Most Ras proteins contain a lipid modification site at the C-terminus, with a typical sequence motif CaaX, where a = an aliphatic amino acid and X = any amino acid. Lipid binding is essential for membrane attachment, a key feature of most Ras proteins.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ࢀ0€0€ €‚ècd04145, M_R_Ras_like, R-Ras2/TC21, M-Ras/R-Ras3. The M-Ras/R-Ras-like subfamily contains R-Ras2/TC21, M-Ras/R-Ras3, and related members of the Ras family. M-Ras is expressed in lympho-hematopoetic cells. It interacts with some of the known Ras effectors, but appears to also have its own effectors. Expression of mutated M-Ras leads to transformation of several types of cell lines, including hematopoietic cells, mammary epithelial cells, and fibroblasts. Overexpression of M-Ras is observed in carcinomas from breast, uterus, thyroid, stomach, colon, kidney, lung, and rectum. In addition, expression of a constitutively active M-Ras mutant in murine bone marrow induces a malignant mast cell leukemia that is distinct from the monocytic leukemia induced by H-Ras. TC21, along with H-Ras, has been shown to regulate the branching morphogenesis of ureteric bud cell branching in mice. Most Ras proteins contain a lipid modification site at the C-terminus, with a typical sequence motif CaaX, where a = an aliphatic amino acid and X = any amino acid. Lipid binding is essential for membrane attachment, a key feature of most Ras proteins.

RERG (Ras-related and Estrogen- Regulated Growth inhibitor) and Ras-like 11 are members of a novel subfamily of Ras that were identified based on their behavior in breast and prostate tumors, respectively. RERG expression was decreased or lost in a significant fraction of primary human breast tumors that lack estrogen receptor and are correlated with poor clinical prognosis. Elevated RERG expression correlated with favorable patient outcome in a breast tumor subtype that is positive for estrogen receptor expression. In contrast to most Ras proteins, RERG overexpression inhibited the growth of breast tumor cells in vitro and in vivo. RasL11 was found to be ubiquitously expressed in human tissue, but down-regulated in prostate tumors. Both RERG and RasL11 lack the C-terminal CaaX prenylation motif, where a = an aliphatic amino acid and X = any amino acid, and are localized primarily in the cytoplasm. Both are believed to have tumor suppressor activity.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'y¢€0€0€ €‚þcd04147, Ras_dva, Ras - dorsal-ventral anterior localization (Ras-dva) family. Ras-dva subfamily. Ras-dva (Ras - dorsal-ventral anterior localization) subfamily consists of a set of proteins characterized only in Xenopus leavis, to date. In Xenopus Ras-dva expression is activated by the transcription factor Otx2 and begins during gastrulation throughout the anterior ectoderm. Ras-dva expression is inhibited in the anterior neural plate by factor Xanf1. Downregulation of Ras-dva results in head development abnormalities through the inhibition of several regulators of the anterior neural plate and folds patterning, including Otx2, BF-1, Xag2, Pax6, Slug, and Sox9. Downregulation of Ras-dva also interferes with the FGF-8a signaling within the anterior ectoderm. Most Ras proteins contain a lipid modification site at the C-terminus, with a typical sequence motif CaaX, where a = an aliphatic amino acid and X = any amino acid. Lipid binding is essential for membrane attachment, a key feature of most Ras proteins.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'z¢€0€0€ €‚ucd04148, RGK, Rem, Rem2, Rad, Gem/Kir (RGK) subfamily of Ras GTPases. RGK subfamily. The RGK (Rem, Rem2, Rad, Gem/Kir) subfamily of Ras GTPases are expressed in a tissue-specific manner and are dynamically regulated by transcriptional and posttranscriptional mechanisms in response to environmental cues. RGK proteins bind to the beta subunit of L-type calcium channels, causing functional down-regulation of these voltage-dependent calcium channels, and either termination of calcium-dependent secretion or modulation of electrical conduction and contractile function. Inhibition of L-type calcium channels by Rem2 may provide a mechanism for modulating calcium-triggered exocytosis in hormone-secreting cells, and has been proposed to influence the secretion of insulin in pancreatic beta cells. RGK proteins also interact with and inhibit the Rho/Rho kinase pathway to modulate remodeling of the cytoskeleton. Two characteristics of RGK proteins cited in the literature are N-terminal and C-terminal extensions beyond the GTPase domain typical of Ras superfamily members. The N-terminal extension is not conserved among family members; the C-terminal extension is reported to be conserved among the family and lack the CaaX prenylation motif typical of membrane-associated Ras proteins. However, a putative CaaX motif has been identified in the alignment of the C-terminal residues of this CD.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'{¢€0€0€ €‚ cd04149, Arf6, ADP ribosylation factor 6 (Arf6). Arf6 subfamily. Arf6 (ADP ribosylation factor 6) proteins localize to the plasma membrane, where they perform a wide variety of functions. In its active, GTP-bound form, Arf6 is involved in cell spreading, Rac-induced formation of plasma membrane ruffles, cell migration, wound healing, and Fc-mediated phagocytosis. Arf6 appears to change the actin structure at the plasma membrane by activating Rac, a Rho family protein involved in membrane ruffling. Arf6 is required for and enhances Rac formation of ruffles. Arf6 can regulate dendritic branching in hippocampal neurons, and in yeast it localizes to the growing bud, where it plays a role in polarized growth and bud site selection. In leukocytes, Arf6 is required for chemokine-stimulated migration across endothelial cells. Arf6 also plays a role in down-regulation of beta2-adrenergic receptors and luteinizing hormone receptors by facilitating the release of sequestered arrestin to allow endocytosis. Arf6 is believed to function at multiple sites on the plasma membrane through interaction with a specific set of GEFs, GAPs, and effectors. Arf6 has been implicated in breast cancer and melanoma cell invasion, and in actin remodelling at the invasion site of Chlamydia infection.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'|¢€0€0€ €‚+cd04150, Arf1_5_like, ADP-ribosylation factor-1 (Arf1) and ADP-ribosylation factor-5 (Arf5). The Arf1-Arf5-like subfamily contains Arf1, Arf2, Arf3, Arf4, Arf5, and related proteins. Arfs1-5 are soluble proteins that are crucial for assembling coat proteins during vesicle formation. Each contains an N-terminal myristoylated amphipathic helix that is folded into the protein in the GDP-bound state. GDP/GTP exchange exposes the helix, which anchors to the membrane. Following GTP hydrolysis, the helix dissociates from the membrane and folds back into the protein. A general feature of Arf1-5 signaling may be the cooperation of two Arfs at the same site. Arfs1-5 are generally considered to be interchangeable in function and location, but some specific functions have been assigned. Arf1 localizes to the early/cis-Golgi, where it is activated by GBF1 and recruits the coat protein COPI. It also localizes to the trans-Golgi network (TGN), where it is activated by BIG1/BIG2 and recruits the AP1, AP3, AP4, and GGA proteins. Humans, but not rodents and other lower eukaryotes, lack Arf2. Human Arf3 shares 96% sequence identity with Arf1 and is believed to generally function interchangeably with Arf1. Human Arf4 in the activated (GTP-bound) state has been shown to interact with the cytoplasmic domain of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and mediate the EGF-dependent activation of phospholipase D2 (PLD2), leading to activation of the activator protein 1 (AP-1) transcription factor. Arf4 has also been shown to recognize the C-terminal sorting signal of rhodopsin and regulate its incorporation into specialized post-Golgi rhodopsin transport carriers (RTCs). There is some evidence that Arf5 functions at the early-Golgi and the trans-Golgi to affect Golgi-associated alpha-adaptin homology Arf-binding proteins (GGAs).¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'}¢€0€0€ €‚Ðcd04151, Arl1, ADP ribosylation factor 1 (Arf1). Arl1 subfamily. Arl1 (Arf-like 1) localizes to the Golgi complex, where it is believed to recruit effector proteins to the trans-Golgi network. Like most members of the Arf family, Arl1 is myristoylated at its N-terminal helix and mutation of the myristoylation site disrupts Golgi targeting. In humans, the Golgi-localized proteins golgin-97 and golgin-245 have been identified as Arl1 effectors. Golgins are large coiled-coil proteins found in the Golgi, and these golgins contain a C-terminal GRIP domain, which is the site of Arl1 binding. Additional Arl1 effectors include the GARP (Golgi-associated retrograde protein)/VFT (Vps53) vesicle-tethering complex and Arfaptin 2. Arl1 is not required for exocytosis, but appears necessary for trafficking from the endosomes to the Golgi. In Drosophila zygotes, mutation of Arl1 is lethal, and in the host-bloodstream form of Trypanosoma brucei, Arl1 is essential for viability.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'~¢€0€0€ €‚;cd04152, Arl4_Arl7, Arf-like 4 (Arl4) and 7 (Arl7) GTPases. Arl4 (Arf-like 4) is highly expressed in testicular germ cells, and is found in the nucleus and nucleolus. In mice, Arl4 is developmentally expressed during embryogenesis, and a role in somite formation and central nervous system differentiation has been proposed. Arl7 has been identified as the only Arf/Arl protein to be induced by agonists of liver X-receptor and retinoid X-receptor and by cholesterol loading in human macrophages. Arl7 is proposed to play a role in transport between a perinuclear compartment and the plasma membrane, apparently linked to the ABCA1-mediated cholesterol secretion pathway. Older literature suggests that Arl6 is a part of the Arl4/Arl7 subfamily, but analyses based on more recent sequence data place Arl6 in its own subfamily.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'¢€0€0€ €‚£cd04153, Arl5_Arl8, Arf-like 5 (Arl5) and 8 (Arl8) GTPases. Arl5/Arl8 subfamily. Arl5 (Arf-like 5) and Arl8, like Arl4 and Arl7, are localized to the nucleus and nucleolus. Arl5 is developmentally regulated during embryogenesis in mice. Human Arl5 interacts with the heterochromatin protein 1-alpha (HP1alpha), a nonhistone chromosomal protein that is associated with heterochromatin and telomeres, and prevents telomere fusion. Arl5 may also play a role in embryonic nuclear dynamics and/or signaling cascades. Arl8 was identified from a fetal cartilage cDNA library. It is found in brain, heart, lung, cartilage, and kidney. No function has been assigned for Arl8 to date.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €颀0€0€ €‚¢cd04154, Arl2, Arf-like 2 (Arl2) GTPase. Arl2 (Arf-like 2) GTPases are members of the Arf family that bind GDP and GTP with very low affinity. Unlike most Arf family proteins, Arl2 is not myristoylated at its N-terminal helix. The protein PDE-delta, first identified in photoreceptor rod cells, binds specifically to Arl2 and is structurally very similar to RhoGDI. Despite the high structural similarity between Arl2 and Rho proteins and between PDE-delta and RhoGDI, the interactions between the GTPases and their effectors are very different. In its GTP bound form, Arl2 interacts with the protein Binder of Arl2 (BART), and the complex is believed to play a role in mitochondrial adenine nucleotide transport. In its GDP bound form, Arl2 interacts with tubulin- folding Cofactor D; this interaction is believed to play a role in regulation of microtubule dynamics that impact the cytoskeleton, cell division, and cytokinesis.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'€¢€0€0€ €‚Ÿcd04155, Arl3, Arf-like 3 (Arl3) GTPase. Arl3 (Arf-like 3) is an Arf family protein that differs from most Arf family members in the N-terminal extension. In is inactive, GDP-bound form, the N-terminal extension forms an elongated loop that is hydrophobically anchored into the membrane surface; however, it has been proposed that this region might form a helix in the GTP-bound form. The delta subunit of the rod-specific cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase type 6 (PDEdelta) is an Arl3 effector. Arl3 binds microtubules in a regulated manner to alter specific aspects of cytokinesis via interactions with retinitis pigmentosa 2 (RP2). It has been proposed that RP2 functions in concert with Arl3 to link the cell membrane and the cytoskeleton in photoreceptors as part of the cell signaling or vesicular transport machinery. In mice, the absence of Arl3 is associated with abnormal epithelial cell proliferation and cyst formation.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'¢€0€0€ €‚&cd04156, ARLTS1, Arf-like tumor suppressor gene 1 (ARLTS1 or Arl11). ARLTS1 (Arf-like tumor suppressor gene 1), also known as Arl11, is a member of the Arf family of small GTPases that is believed to play a major role in apoptotic signaling. ARLTS1 is widely expressed and functions as a tumor suppressor gene in several human cancers. ARLTS1 is a low-penetrance suppressor that accounts for a small percentage of familial melanoma or familial chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). ARLTS1 inactivation seems to occur most frequently through biallelic down-regulation by hypermethylation of the promoter. In breast cancer, ARLTS1 alterations were typically a combination of a hypomorphic polymorphism plus loss of heterozygosity. In a case of thyroid adenoma, ARLTS1 alterations were polymorphism plus promoter hypermethylation. The nonsense polymorphism Trp149Stop occurs with significantly greater frequency in familial cancer cases than in sporadic cancer cases, and the Cys148Arg polymorphism is associated with an increase in high-risk familial breast cancer.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €좀0€0€ €‚hcd04157, Arl6, Arf-like 6 (Arl6) GTPase. Arl6 (Arf-like 6) forms a subfamily of the Arf family of small GTPases. Arl6 expression is limited to the brain and kidney in adult mice, but it is expressed in the neural plate and somites during embryogenesis, suggesting a possible role for Arl6 in early development. Arl6 is also believed to have a role in cilia or flagella function. Several proteins have been identified that bind Arl6, including Arl6 interacting protein (Arl6ip), and SEC61beta, a subunit of the heterotrimeric conducting channel SEC61p. Based on Arl6 binding to these effectors, Arl6 is also proposed to play a role in protein transport, membrane trafficking, or cell signaling during hematopoietic maturation. At least three specific homozygous Arl6 mutations in humans have been found to cause Bardet-Biedl syndrome, a disorder characterized by obesity, retinopathy, polydactyly, renal and cardiac malformations, learning disabilities, and hypogenitalism. Older literature suggests that Arl6 is a part of the Arl4/Arl7 subfamily, but analyses based on more recent sequence data place Arl6 in its own subfamily.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'‚¢€0€0€ €‚cd04158, ARD1, (ADP-ribosylation factor domain protein 1 (ARD1). ARD1 (ADP-ribosylation factor domain protein 1) is an unusual member of the Arf family. In addition to the C-terminal Arf domain, ARD1 has an additional 46-kDa N-terminal domain that contains a RING finger domain, two predicted B-Boxes, and a coiled-coil protein interaction motif. This domain belongs to the TRIM (tripartite motif) or RBCC (RING, B-Box, coiled-coil) family. Like most Arfs, the ARD1 Arf domain lacks detectable GTPase activity. However, unlike most Arfs, the full-length ARD1 protein has significant GTPase activity due to the GAP (GTPase-activating protein) activity exhibited by the 46-kDa N-terminal domain. The GAP domain of ARD1 is specific for its own Arf domain and does not bind other Arfs. The rate of GDP dissociation from the ARD1 Arf domain is slowed by the adjacent 15 amino acids, which act as a GDI (GDP-dissociation inhibitor) domain. ARD1 is ubiquitously expressed in cells and localizes to the Golgi and to the lysosomal membrane. Two Tyr-based motifs in the Arf domain are responsible for Golgi localization, while the GAP domain controls lysosomal localization.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'ƒ¢€0€0€ €‚,cd04159, Arl10_like, Arf-like 9 (Arl9) and 10 (Arl10) GTPases.

Arfrp1 (Arf-related protein 1), formerly known as ARP, is a membrane-associated Arf family member that lacks the N-terminal myristoylation motif. Arfrp1 is mainly associated with the trans-Golgi compartment and the trans-Golgi network, where it regulates the targeting of Arl1 and the GRIP domain-containing proteins, golgin-97 and golgin-245, onto Golgi membranes. It is also involved in the anterograde transport of the vesicular stomatitis virus G protein from the Golgi to the plasma membrane, and in the retrograde transport of TGN38 and Shiga toxin from endosomes to the trans-Golgi network. Arfrp1 also inhibits Arf/Sec7-dependent activation of phospholipase D. Deletion of Arfrp1 in mice causes embryonic lethality at the gastrulation stage and apoptosis of mesodermal cells, indicating its importance in development.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'…¢€0€0€ €‚Òcd04161, Arl2l1_Arl13_like, Arl2-like protein 1 (Arl2l1) and Arl13. Arl2l1 (Arl2-like protein 1) and Arl13 form a subfamily of the Arf family of small GTPases. Arl2l1 was identified in human cells during a search for the gene(s) responsible for Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS). Like Arl6, the identified BBS gene, Arl2l1 is proposed to have cilia-specific functions. Arl13 is found on the X chromosome, but its expression has not been confirmed; it may be a pseudogene.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ñ¢€0€0€ €‚bcd04162, Arl9_Arfrp2_like, Arf-like 9 (Arl9)/Arfrp2-like GTPase.

It maps to chromosome 4q12 and is sometimes referred to as Arfrp2 (Arf-related protein 2). This is a novel subfamily identified in human cancers that is uncharacterized to date.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ò¢€0€0€ €‚bcd04163, Era, E. coli Ras-like protein (Era) is a multifunctional GTPase. Era (E. coli Ras-like protein) is a multifunctional GTPase found in all bacteria except some eubacteria. It binds to the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) of the 30S subunit and appears to play a role in the assembly of the 30S subunit, possibly by chaperoning the 16S rRNA. It also contacts several assembly elements of the 30S subunit. Era couples cell growth with cytokinesis and plays a role in cell division and energy metabolism. Homologs have also been found in eukaryotes. Era contains two domains: the N-terminal GTPase domain and a C-terminal domain KH domain that is critical for RNA binding. Both domains are important for Era function. Era is functionally able to compensate for deletion of RbfA, a cold-shock adaptation protein that is required for efficient processing of the 16S rRNA.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'†¢€0€0€ €‚Ùcd04164, trmE, trmE is a tRNA modification GTPase. TrmE (MnmE, ThdF, MSS1) is a 3-domain protein found in bacteria and eukaryotes. It controls modification of the uridine at the wobble position (U34) of tRNAs that read codons ending with A or G in the mixed codon family boxes. TrmE contains a GTPase domain that forms a canonical Ras-like fold. It functions a molecular switch GTPase, and apparently uses a conformational change associated with GTP hydrolysis to promote the tRNA modification reaction, in which the conserved cysteine in the C-terminal domain is thought to function as a catalytic residue. In bacteria that are able to survive in extremely low pH conditions, TrmE regulates glutamate-dependent acid resistance.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'‡¢€0€0€ €‚Vcd04165, GTPBP1_like, GTP binding protein 1 (GTPBP1)-like family includes GTPBP2. Mammalian GTP binding protein 1 (GTPBP1), GTPBP2, and nematode homologs AGP-1 and CGP-1 are GTPases whose specific functions remain unknown. In mouse, GTPBP1 is expressed in macrophages, in smooth muscle cells of various tissues and in some neurons of the cerebral cortex; GTPBP2 tissue distribution appears to overlap that of GTPBP1. In human leukemia and macrophage cell lines, expression of both GTPBP1 and GTPBP2 is enhanced by interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). The chromosomal location of both genes has been identified in humans, with GTPBP1 located in chromosome 22q12-13.1 and GTPBP2 located in chromosome 6p21-12. Human glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), a highly-malignant astrocytic glioma and the most common cancer in the central nervous system, has been linked to chromosomal deletions and a translocation on chromosome 6. The GBM translocation results in a fusion of GTPBP2 and PTPRZ1, a protein involved in oligodendrocyte differentiation, recovery, and survival. This fusion product may contribute to the onset of GBM.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'ˆ¢€0€0€ €‚cd04166, CysN_ATPS, CysN, together with protein CysD, forms the ATP sulfurylase (ATPS) complex. CysN_ATPS subfamily. CysN, together with protein CysD, form the ATP sulfurylase (ATPS) complex in some bacteria and lower eukaryotes. ATPS catalyzes the production of ATP sulfurylase (APS) and pyrophosphate (PPi) from ATP and sulfate. CysD, which catalyzes ATP hydrolysis, is a member of the ATP pyrophosphatase (ATP PPase) family. CysN hydrolysis of GTP is required for CysD hydrolysis of ATP; however, CysN hydrolysis of GTP is not dependent on CysD hydrolysis of ATP. CysN is an example of lateral gene transfer followed by acquisition of new function. In many organisms, an ATPS exists which is not GTP-dependent and shares no sequence or structural similarity to CysN.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'‰¢€0€0€ €‚ýcd04167, Snu114p, Snu114p, a spliceosome protein, is a GTPase. Snu114p subfamily. Snu114p is one of several proteins that make up the U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) particle. U5 is a component of the spliceosome, which catalyzes the splicing of pre-mRNA to remove introns. Snu114p is homologous to EF-2, but typically contains an additional N-terminal domain not found in Ef-2. This protein is part of the GTP translation factor family and the Ras superfamily, characterized by five G-box motifs.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'Š¢€0€0€ €‚$cd04168, TetM_like, Tet(M)-like family includes Tet(M), Tet(O), Tet(W), and OtrA, containing tetracycline resistant proteins. Tet(M), Tet(O), Tet(W), and OtrA are tetracycline resistance genes found in Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Tetracyclines inhibit protein synthesis by preventing aminoacyl-tRNA from binding to the ribosomal acceptor site. This subfamily contains tetracycline resistance proteins that function through ribosomal protection and are typically found on mobile genetic elements, such as transposons or plasmids, and are often conjugative. Ribosomal protection proteins are homologous to the elongation factors EF-Tu and EF-G. EF-G and Tet(M) compete for binding on the ribosomes. Tet(M) has a higher affinity than EF-G, suggesting these two proteins may have overlapping binding sites and that Tet(M) must be released before EF-G can bind. Tet(M) and Tet(O) have been shown to have ribosome-dependent GTPase activity. These proteins are part of the GTP translation factor family, which includes EF-G, EF-Tu, EF2, LepA, and SelB.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'‹¢€0€0€ €‚3cd04169, RF3, Release Factor 3 (RF3) protein involved in the terminal step of translocation in bacteria. Peptide chain release factor 3 (RF3) is a protein involved in the termination step of translation in bacteria. Termination occurs when class I release factors (RF1 or RF2) recognize the stop codon at the A-site of the ribosome and activate the release of the nascent polypeptide. The class II release factor RF3 then initiates the release of the class I RF from the ribosome. RF3 binds to the RF/ribosome complex in the inactive (GDP-bound) state. GDP/GTP exchange occurs, followed by the release of the class I RF. Subsequent hydrolysis of GTP to GDP triggers the release of RF3 from the ribosome. RF3 also enhances the efficiency of class I RFs at less preferred stop codons and at stop codons in weak contexts.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'Œ¢€0€0€ €‚ÿcd04170, EF-G_bact, Elongation factor G (EF-G) family. Translocation is mediated by EF-G (also called translocase). The structure of EF-G closely resembles that of the complex between EF-Tu and tRNA. This is an example of molecular mimicry; a protein domain evolved so that it mimics the shape of a tRNA molecule. EF-G in the GTP form binds to the ribosome, primarily through the interaction of its EF-Tu-like domain with the 50S subunit. The binding of EF-G to the ribosome in this manner stimulates the GTPase activity of EF-G. On GTP hydrolysis, EF-G undergoes a conformational change that forces its arm deeper into the A site on the 30S subunit. To accommodate this domain, the peptidyl-tRNA in the A site moves to the P site, carrying the mRNA and the deacylated tRNA with it. The ribosome may be prepared for these rearrangements by the initial binding of EF-G as well. The dissociation of EF-G leaves the ribosome ready to accept the next aminoacyl-tRNA into the A site. This group contains only bacterial members.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'¢€0€0€ €‚Úcd04171, SelB, SelB, the dedicated elongation factor for delivery of selenocysteinyl-tRNA to the ribosome. SelB is an elongation factor needed for the co-translational incorporation of selenocysteine. Selenocysteine is coded by a UGA stop codon in combination with a specific downstream mRNA hairpin. In bacteria, the C-terminal part of SelB recognizes this hairpin, while the N-terminal part binds GTP and tRNA in analogy with elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu). It specifically recognizes the selenocysteine charged tRNAsec, which has a UCA anticodon, in an EF-Tu like manner. This allows insertion of selenocysteine at in-frame UGA stop codons. In E. coli SelB binds GTP, selenocysteyl-tRNAsec, and a stem-loop structure immediately downstream of the UGA codon (the SECIS sequence). The absence of active SelB prevents the participation of selenocysteyl-tRNAsec in translation. Archaeal and animal mechanisms of selenocysteine incorporation are more complex. Although the SECIS elements have different secondary structures and conserved elements between archaea and eukaryotes, they do share a common feature. Unlike in E. coli, these SECIS elements are located in the 3' UTRs. This group contains bacterial SelBs, as well as, one from archaea.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'Ž¢€0€0€ €‚Zcd04172, Rnd3_RhoE_Rho8, Rnd3/RhoE/Rho8 GTPases. Rnd3/RhoE/Rho8 subfamily. Rnd3/RhoE/Rho8 is a member of the novel Rho subfamily Rnd, together with Rnd1/Rho6 and Rnd2/Rho7. Rnd3/RhoE is known to bind the serine-threonine kinase ROCK I. Unphosphorylated Rnd3/RhoE associates primarily with membranes, but ROCK I-phosphorylated Rnd3/RhoE localizes in the cytosol. Phosphorylation of Rnd3/RhoE correlates with its activity in disrupting RhoA-induced stress fibers and inhibiting Ras-induced fibroblast transformation. In cells that lack stress fibers, such as macrophages and monocytes, Rnd3/RhoE induces a redistribution of actin, causing morphological changes in the cell. In addition, Rnd3/RhoE has been shown to inhibit cell cycle progression in G1 phase at a point upstream of the pRb family pocket protein checkpoint. Rnd3/RhoE has also been shown to inhibit Ras- and Raf-induced fibroblast transformation. In mammary epithelial tumor cells, Rnd3/RhoE regulates the assembly of the apical junction complex and tight junction formation. Rnd3/RhoE is underexpressed in prostate cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo; re-expression of Rnd3/RhoE suppresses cell cycle progression and increases apoptosis, suggesting it may play a role in tumor suppression. Most Rho proteins contain a lipid modification site at the C-terminus, with a typical sequence motif CaaX, where a = an aliphatic amino acid and X = any amino acid.

Rnd2/Rho7 is a member of the novel Rho subfamily Rnd, together with Rnd1/Rho6 and Rnd3/RhoE/Rho8. Rnd2/Rho7 is transiently expressed in radially migrating cells in the brain while they are within the subventricular zone of the hippocampus and cerebral cortex. These migrating cells typically develop into pyramidal neurons. Cells that exogenously expressed Rnd2/Rho7 failed to migrate to upper layers of the brain, suggesting that Rnd2/Rho7 plays a role in the radial migration and morphological changes of developing pyramidal neurons, and that Rnd2/Rho7 degradation is necessary for proper cellular migration. The Rnd2/Rho7 GEF Rapostlin is found primarily in the brain and together with Rnd2/Rho7 induces dendrite branching. Unlike Rnd1/Rho6 and Rnd3/RhoE/Rho8, which are RhoA antagonists, Rnd2/Rho7 binds the GEF Pragmin and significantly stimulates RhoA activity and Rho-A mediated cell contraction. Rnd2/Rho7 is also found to be expressed in spermatocytes and early spermatids, with male-germ-cell Rac GTPase-activating protein (MgcRacGAP), where it localizes to the Golgi-derived pro-acrosomal vesicle. Most Rho proteins contain a lipid modification site at the C-terminus, with a typical sequence motif CaaX, where a = an aliphatic amino acid and X = any amino acid.

In rat, Rnd1/Rho6 is highly expressed in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus during synapse formation, and plays a role in spine formation. Rnd1/Rho6 is also expressed in the liver and in endothelial cells, and is upregulated in uterine myometrial cells during pregnancy. Like Rnd3/RhoE/Rho8, Rnd1/Rho6 is believed to function as an antagonist to RhoA. Most Rho proteins contain a lipid modification site at the C-terminus, with a typical sequence motif CaaX, where a = an aliphatic amino acid and X = any amino acid.

The Rap1 subgroup is part of the Rap subfamily of the Ras family. It can be further divided into the Rap1a and Rap1b isoforms. In humans, Rap1a and Rap1b share 95% sequence homology, but are products of two different genes located on chromosomes 1 and 12, respectively. Rap1a is sometimes called smg p21 or Krev1 in the older literature. Rap1 proteins are believed to perform different cellular functions, depending on the isoform, its subcellular localization, and the effector proteins it binds. For example, in rat salivary gland, neutrophils, and platelets, Rap1 localizes to secretory granules and is believed to regulate exocytosis or the formation of secretory granules. Rap1 has also been shown to localize in the Golgi of rat fibroblasts, zymogen granules, plasma membrane, and the microsomal membrane of pancreatic acini, as well as in the endocytic compartment of skeletal muscle cells and fibroblasts. High expression of Rap1 has been observed in the nucleus of human oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) and cell lines; interestingly, in the SCCs, the active GTP-bound form localized to the nucleus, while the inactive GDP-bound form localized to the cytoplasm. Rap1 plays a role in phagocytosis by controlling the binding of adhesion receptors (typically integrins) to their ligands. In yeast, Rap1 has been implicated in multiple functions, including activation and silencing of transcription and maintenance of telomeres. Rap1a, which is stimulated by T-cell receptor (TCR) activation, is a positive regulator of T cells by directing integrin activation and augmenting lymphocyte responses. In murine hippocampal neurons, Rap1b determines which neurite will become the axon and directs the recruitment of Cdc42, which is required for formation of dendrites and axons. In murine platelets, Rap1b is required for normal homeostasis in vivo and is involved in integrin activation. Most Ras proteins contain a lipid modification site at the C-terminus, with a typical sequence motif CaaX, where a = an aliphatic amino acid and X = any amino acid.

Both isoform 3 of the human mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 4 (MAP4K4) and Traf2- and Nck-interacting kinase (TNIK) are putative effectors of Rap2 in mediating the activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) to regulate the actin cytoskeleton. In human platelets, Rap2 was shown to interact with the cytoskeleton by binding the actin filaments. In embryonic Xenopus development, Rap2 is necessary for the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway. The Rap2 interacting protein 9 (RPIP9) is highly expressed in human breast carcinomas and correlates with a poor prognosis, suggesting a role for Rap2 in breast cancer oncogenesis. Rap2b, but not Rap2a, Rap2c, Rap1a, or Rap1b, is expressed in human red blood cells, where it is believed to be involved in vesiculation. A number of additional effector proteins for Rap2 have been identified, including the RalGEFs RalGDS, RGL, and Rlf, which also interact with Rap1 and Ras. Most Ras proteins contain a lipid modification site at the C-terminus, with a typical sequence motif CaaX, where a = an aliphatic amino acid and X = any amino acid.

RSR1/Bud1p is a member of the Rap subfamily of the Ras family that is found in fungi. In budding yeasts, RSR1 is involved in selecting a site for bud growth on the cell cortex, which directs the establishment of cell polarization. The Rho family GTPase cdc42 and its GEF, cdc24, then establish an axis of polarized growth by organizing the actin cytoskeleton and secretory apparatus at the bud site. It is believed that cdc42 interacts directly with RSR1 in vivo. In filamentous fungi, polar growth occurs at the tips of hypha and at novel growth sites along the extending hypha. In Ashbya gossypii, RSR1 is a key regulator of hyphal growth, localizing at the tip region and regulating in apical polarization of the actin cytoskeleton.

Nucleostemin (NS) is a nucleolar protein that functions as a regulator of cell growth and proliferation in stem cells and in several types of cancer cells, but is not expressed in the differentiated cells of most mammalian adult tissues. NS shuttles between the nucleolus and nucleoplasm bidirectionally at a rate that is fast and independent of cell type. Lowering GTP levels decreases the nucleolar retention of NS, and expression of NS is abruptly down-regulated during differentiation prior to terminal cell division. Found only in eukaryotes, NS consists of an N-terminal basic domain, a coiled-coil domain, a GTP-binding domain, an intermediate domain, and a C-terminal acidic domain. Experimental evidence indicates that NS uses its GTP-binding property as a molecular switch to control the transition between the nucleolus and nucleoplasm, and this process involves interaction between the basic, GTP-binding, and intermediate domains of the protein.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'¡¢€0€0€ €‚ùcd04179, DPM_DPG-synthase_like, DPM_DPG-synthase_like is a member of the Glycosyltransferase 2 superfamily.

Like other related enzymes (carbamate kinase, aspartokinase, and N-acetylglutamate kinase) the E. coli and most bacterial UMPKs have a conserved, N-terminal, lysine residue proposed to function in the catalysis of the phosphoryl group transfer, whereas most archaeal UMPKs appear to lack this residue and the Pyrococcus furiosus structure has an additional Mg ion bound to the ATP molecule which is proposed to function as the catalysis instead.

G5K is subject to feedback allosteric inhibition by proline or ornithine. In microorganisms and plants, proline plays an important role as an osmoprotectant and, in mammals, ornithine biosynthesis is crucial for proper ammonia detoxification, since a G5K mutation has been shown to cause human hyperammonaemia. Microbial G5K generally consists of two domains: a catalytic G5K domain and one PUA (pseudo uridine synthases and archaeosine-specific transglycosylases) domain, and some lack the PUA domain. G5K requires free Mg for activity, it is tetrameric, and it aggregates to higher forms in a proline-dependent way. G5K lacking the PUA domain remains tetrameric, active, and proline-inhibitable, but the Mg requirement and the proline-triggered aggregation are greatly diminished and abolished, respectively, and more proline is needed for inhibition. Although plant and animal G5Ks are part of a bifunctional polypeptide, delta 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase (P5CS), composed of an N-terminal G5K (ProB) and a C-terminal glutamyl 5- phosphate reductase (G5PR; ProA); bacterial and yeast G5Ks are monofunctional single-polypeptide enzymes.

These aspartokinases are found in such bacteria as E. coli (AKI-HSDHI, ThrA and AKII-HSDHII, MetL) and in higher plants (Z. mays AK-HSDH). AK and HSDH are the first and third enzymes in the biosynthetic pathway of the aspartate family of amino acids. AK catalyzes the phosphorylation of Asp to P-aspartyl phosphate. HSDH catalyzes the NADPH-dependent conversion of Asp 3-semialdehyde to homoserine. ThrA and MetL are involved in threonine and methionine biosynthesis, respectively. In E. coli, ThrA is subject to allosteric regulation by the end product L-threonine and the native enzyme is reported to be tetrameric.

In Bacillus subtilis, the regulation of the diaminopimelate-lysine biosynthetic pathway involves dual control by diaminopimelate and lysine, effected through separate diaminopimelate- and lysine-sensitive aspartokinase isoenzymes. The role of the AKI isoenzyme is most likely to provide a constant level of aspartyl-beta-phosphate for the biosynthesis of diaminopimelate for peptidoglycan synthesis and dipicolinate during sporulation. The B. subtilis 168 AKII is induced by methionine, and repressed and inhibited by lysine.

Enzymes belonging to this superfamily require a divalent cation, such as Mg2+ or Mn2+, for their activity and contain a highly conserved 23-residue nudix motif (GX5EX7REUXEEXGU, U=I, L or V), which functions as a metal binding and catalytic site. Substrates of nudix hydrolases include intact and oxidatively damaged nucleoside triphosphates, dinucleoside polyphosphates, nucleotide-sugars and dinucleotide enzymes.

The conserved core domain of TBP, which binds to the TATA box, has a bipartite structure, with intramolecular symmetry generating a saddle-shaped structure that sits astride the DNA.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €©R¢€0€0€ €‚²cd04519, RasGAP, Ras GTPase Activating Domain. RasGAP functions as an enhancer of the hydrolysis of GTP that is bound to Ras-GTPases. Proteins having a RasGAP domain include p120GAP, IQGAP, Rab5-activating protein 6, and Neurofibromin, among others. Although the Rho (Ras homolog) GTPases are most closely related to members of the Ras family, RhoGAP and RasGAP exhibit no similarity at their amino acid sequence level. RasGTPases function as molecular switches in a large number of signaling pathways. They are in the on state when bound to GTP, and in the off state when bound to GDP. The RasGAP domain speeds up the hydrolysis of GTP in Ras-like proteins acting as a negative regulator.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €AP¢€0€0€ €‚cd04582, CBS_pair_ABC_OpuCA_assoc, This cd contains two tandem repeats of the cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS pair) domains in association with the ABC transporter OpuCA.

CBS is a small domain originally identified in cystathionine beta-synthase and subsequently found in a wide range of different proteins. CBS domains usually come in tandem repeats, which associate to form a so-called Bateman domain or a CBS pair which is reflected in this model. The interface between the two CBS domains forms a cleft that is a potential ligand binding site. The CBS pair coexists with a variety of other functional domains. It has been proposed that the CBS domain may play a regulatory role, although its exact function is unknown.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €©n¢€0€0€ €‚ácd04610, CBS_pair_ParBc_assoc, This cd contains two tandem repeats of the cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS pair) domains associated with a ParBc (ParB-like nuclease) domain downstream.

SpoIVFB is one of 4 proteins involved in endospore formation; the others are SpoIVFA (sporulation protein, stage IV cell wall formation, F locus, promoter-proximal A), BofA (bypass-of-forespore A ), and SpoIVB (sporulation protein, stage IV cell wall formation, B locus). SpoIVFB is negatively regulated by SpoIVFA and BofA and activated by SpoIVB. It is thought that SpoIVFB, SpoIVFA, and BofA are located in the mother-cell membrane that surrounds the forespore and that SpoIVB is secreted from the forespore into the space between the two where it activates SpoIVFB. EriC is involved in inorganic ion transport and metabolism. CBS is a small domain originally identified in cystathionine beta-synthase and subsequently found in a wide range of different proteins.

DNA methylation, or the covalent addition of a methyl group to cytosine within the context of the CpG dinucleotide, has profound effects on the genome. These effects include transcriptional repression via inhibition of transcription factor binding, the recruitment of methyl-binding proteins and their associated chromatin remodeling factors, X chromosome inactivation, imprinting, and the suppression of parasitic DNA sequences. DNA methylation is also essential for proper embryonic development and is an important player in both DNA repair and genome stability. BAH domains are found in a variety of proteins playing roles in transcriptional silencing and the remodeling of chromatin. It is assumed that in most or all of these instances the BAH domain mediates protein-protein interactions.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €©ë¢€0€0€ €‚¤cd04761, HTH_MerR-SF, Helix-Turn-Helix DNA binding domain of transcription regulators from the MerR superfamily.

The MerR family transcription regulators have been shown to mediate responses to stress including exposure to heavy metals, drugs, or oxygen radicals in eubacterial and some archaeal species. They regulate transcription of multidrug/metal ion transporter genes and oxidative stress regulons by reconfiguring the spacer between the -35 and -10 promoter elements. A typical MerR regulator is comprised of two distinct domains that harbor the regulatory (effector-binding) site and the active (DNA-binding) site. Their N-terminal domains are homologous and contain a DNA-binding winged HTH motif, while the C-terminal domains are often dissimilar and bind specific coactivator molecules such as metal ions, drugs, and organic substrates.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € ¢€0€0€ €‚5cd04762, HTH_MerR-trunc, Helix-Turn-Helix DNA binding domain of truncated MerR-like proteins.

These truncated domains are found in response regulator receiver (REC) domain proteins (i.e., CheY), cytosine-C5 specific DNA methylases, IS607 transposase-like proteins, and RacA, a bacterial protein that anchors chromosomes to cell poles.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € ¢€0€0€ €‚$cd04763, HTH_MlrA-like, Helix-Turn-Helix DNA binding domain of MlrA-like transcription regulators. Helix-turn-helix (HTH) transcription regulator MlrA (merR-like regulator A) and related proteins, N-terminal domain. The MlrA protein, also known as YehV, has been shown to control cell-cell aggregation by co-regulating the expression of curli and extracellular matrix production in Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. Its close homolog, CarA from Myxococcus xanthus, is involved in activation of the carotenoid biosynthesis genes by light. These proteins belong to the MerR superfamily of transcription regulators that promote expression of several stress regulon genes by reconfiguring the spacer between the -35 and -10 promoter elements. Their conserved N-terminal domains contain predicted HTH motifs that mediate DNA binding, while the dissimilar C-terminal domains bind specific coactivator molecules. Many MlrA-like proteins in this group appear to lack the long dimerization helix seen in the N-terminal domains of typical MerR-like proteins.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € ¢€0€0€ €‚“cd04764, HTH_MlrA-like_sg1, Helix-Turn-Helix DNA binding domain of putative MlrA-like transcription regulators.

Helix-turn-helix (HTH) transcription regulator HspR, N-terminal domain. Heat shock protein regulators (HspR) have been shown to regulate expression of specific regulons in response to high temperature or high osmolarity in Streptomyces and Helicobacter, respectively. These proteins share the N-terminal DNA binding domain with other transcription regulators of the MerR superfamily that promote transcription by reconfiguring the spacer between the -35 and -10 promoter elements. A typical MerR regulator is comprised of distinct domains that harbor the regulatory (effector-binding) site and the active (DNA-binding) site.
