Type-II LS also known as RibH2, catalyzes the penultimate step in the biosynthesis of riboflavin in plants and microorganisms. LS catalyses the formation of 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine by the condensation of 5-amino-6-ribitylamino- 2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione with 3,4-dihydroxy- 2-butanone-4-phosphate. Subsequently, the lumazine intermediate dismutates yielding riboflavin and 5-amino-6-ribitylamino- 2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione, in a reaction catalyzed by riboflavin synthase (RS); RS belongs to a different family of the Lumazine-synthase-like superfamily. Riboflavin is the precursor of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) which are essential cofactors for the catalysis of a wide range of redox reactions. These cofactors are also involved in many other processes involving DNA repair, circadian time-keeping, light sensing, and bioluminescence. Riboflavin is biosynthesized in plants, fungi and certain microorganisms; as animals lack the necessary enzymes to produce this vitamin, they acquire it from dietary sources. Type II LSs are distinct from type-I LS not only in protein sequence, but in that they exhibit different quaternary assemblies; type-II LSs form decamers (dimers of pentamers). The pathogen Brucella spp. have both a type-I LS and a type-II LS called RibH1 and RibH2, respectively. RibH1/type-I LS appears to be a functional LS in Brucella spp., whereas RibH2/type-II LS has much lower catalytic activity as LS and may be regulated by a riboswitch that senses FMN, suggesting that the type-II LSs may have evolved into very poor catalysts or, that they may harbor a new, as-yet-unknown function.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Ý]¢€0€0€ €‚Scd09209, Lumazine_synthase-I, lumazine synthase (6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine synthase, LS), catalyzes the penultimate step in the biosynthesis of riboflavin (vitamin B2); type-I.

Subsequently, the lumazine intermediate dismutates to yield riboflavin and 5-amino-6-ribitylamino- 2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione, in a reaction catalyzed by riboflavin synthase synthase (RS); RS belongs to a different family of the Lumazine-synthase-like superfamily. Riboflavin is the precursor of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) which are essential cofactors for the catalysis of a wide range of redox reactions. These cofactors are also involved in many other processes involving DNA repair, circadian time-keeping, light sensing, and bioluminescence. Riboflavin is biosynthesized in plants, fungi and certain microorganisms; as animals lack the necessary enzymes to produce this vitamin, they acquire it from dietary sources. Type II LSs are distinct from type-I LS not only in protein sequence, but in that they exhibit different quaternary assemblies; type-I LSs form pentamers. The pathogen Brucella spp. encode both a Type-I LS and a Type-II LS called RibH1 and RibH2, respectively. RibH1/type-I LS appears to be the functional LS in Brucella spp., whereas RibH2/type-II LS has much lower catalytic activity as LS. The pathogen Brucella spp. have both a type-I LS and a type-II LS called RibH1 and RibH2, respectively. RibH1/type-I LS appears to be a functional LS in Brucella spp., whereas RibH2/type-II LS has much lower catalytic activity as LS.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Ý^¢€0€0€ €‚cd09210, Riboflavin_synthase_archaeal, archaeal riboflavin synthase (RS); involved in the biosynthesis pathway of riboflavin (vitamin B2). Archaeal RSs are homopentamers catalyzing the formation of riboflavin from 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine in riboflavin biosynthesis. Divalent metal ions, preferably manganese or magnesium, are needed for maximum activity. Riboflavin serves as the precursor of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), essential cofactors for several oxidoreductases that are indispensable in most living cells. In the final steps of the riboflavin biosynthetic pathway, lumazine synthase (6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine synthase, LS) catalyzes the condensation of the 5-amino-6-ribitylamino-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione with 3,4-dihydroxy- 2-butanone-4-phosphate to release water, inorganic phosphate and 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine (DMRL), followed by RS which catalyzes a dismutation of DMRL yielding riboflavin and 5-amino-6-ribitylamino-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione. In the latter reaction, a four-carbon moiety is transferred between two DMRL molecules serving as donor and acceptor, respectively. Both the LS and RS catalyzed reactions are thermodynamically irreversible and can proceed in the absence of a catalyst. Archaeal RSs share sequence similarity with LSs, both appear to have diverged early in the evolution of archaea from a common ancestor.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Ý_¢€0€0€ €‚Ïcd09211, Lumazine_synthase_archaeal, lumazine synthase (6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine synthase, LS); catalyzes the penultimate step in the biosynthesis of riboflavin (vitamin B2).

Both the LS and RS catalyzed reactions are thermodynamically irreversible and can proceed in the absence of a catalyst. LS from Methanococcus jannaschii forms capsids with icosahedral 532 symmetry consisting of 60 subunits. Archaeal LSs share sequence similarity with archaeal RSs, both appear to have diverged early in the evolution of archaea from a common ancestor.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Ý`¢€0€0€ €‚ƒcd09212, PUB, PNGase/UBA or UBX (PUB) domain of p97 adaptor proteins. The PUB domain is found in p97 adaptor proteins such as PNGase, UBXD1 (UBX domain-containing protein 1), and RNF31 (RING finger protein 31). It functions as a p97 (also known as valosin-containing protein or VCP) adaptor by interacting with the D1 and/or D2 ATPase domains. The p97, a type II AAA+ ATPase, is involved in a variety of cellular processes such as the deglycosylation of ERAD substrates, membrane fusion, transcription factor activation and cell cycle regulation through differential binding to specific adaptor proteins. The PUB domain in UBX-domain protein 1 (UBXD1), which is widely expressed in higher eukaryotes (except for fungi) and which is involved in substrate recruitment to p97, interacts strongly with the C-terminus of p97. Peptide:N-glycanase (PNGase), a deglycosylating enzyme that functions in proteasome-dependent degradation of misfolded glycoproteins which are translocated from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the cytosol during ERAD, associates with the ubiquitin-proteasome system proteins mediated by the N-terminal PUB domain. PNGase is present in all eukaryotic organisms; however, the yeast PNGase ortholog does not contain the PUB domain. The RNF31 protein, also known as HOIP or Zibra, contains an N-terminal PUB domain similar to those in PNGase and UBXD1, suggesting its association with p97.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¢€0€0€ €‚Zcd09213, Luminal_IRE1_like, The Luminal domain, a dimerization domain, of Inositol-requiring protein 1-like proteins. The Luminal domain is a dimerization domain present in Inositol-requiring protein 1 (IRE1), eukaryotic translation Initiation Factor 2-Alpha Kinase 3 (EIF2AK3), and similar proteins. IRE1 and EIF2AK3 are serine/threonine protein kinases (STKs) and are type I transmembrane proteins that are localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). They are kinase receptors that are activated through the release of BiP, a chaperone bound to their luminal domains under unstressed conditions. This results in dimerization through their luminal domains, allowing trans-autophosphorylation of their kinase domains and activation. They play roles in the signaling of the unfolded protein response (UPR), which is activated when protein misfolding is detected in the ER in order to decrease the synthesis of new proteins and increase the capacity of the ER to cope with the stress. IRE1, also called Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-to-nucleus signaling protein (or ERN), contains an endoribonuclease domain in its cytoplasmic side and acts as an ER stress sensor. It is the oldest and most conserved component of the UPR in eukaryotes. Its activation results in the cleavage of its mRNA substrate, HAC1 in yeast and Xbp1 in metazoans, promoting a splicing event that enables translation into a transcription factor which activates the UPR. EIF2AK3, also called PKR-like Endoplasmic Reticulum Kinase (PERK), phosphorylates the alpha subunit of eIF-2, resulting in the downregulation of protein synthesis. It functions as the central regulator of translational control during the UPR pathway. In addition to the eIF-2 alpha subunit, EIF2AK3 also phosphorylates Nrf2, a leucine zipper transcription factor which regulates cellular redox status and promotes cell survival during the UPR.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €áÉ¢€0€0€ €‚­cd09214, GH64-like, glycosyl hydrolase 64 family. This family is represented by the laminaripentaose-producing, beta-1,3-glucanase (LPHase) of Streptomyces matensis and related bacterial and ascomycete proteins. LPHase is a member of glycoside hydrolase family 64 (GH64), it is an inverting enzyme involved in the cleavage of long-chain polysaccharide beta-1,3-glucans, into specific pentasaccharide oligomers. LPHase is a two-domain crescent fold structure: one domain is composed of 10 beta-strands, eight coming from the N-terminus of the protein and two from the C-terminal region, and the protein has a second inserted domain; this cd includes both domains. This protein has an electronegative, substrate-binding cleft, and conserved Glu and Asp residues involved in the cleavage of the beta-1,3-glucan, laminarin, a plant and fungal cell wall component. Among bacteria, many beta-1,3-glucanases are implicated in fungal cell wall degradation. Also included in this family is GluB , the beta-1,3-glucanase B from Lysobacter enzymogenes Strain N4-7. Recombinant GluB demonstrated higher relative activity toward the branched-chain beta-1,3 glucan substrate zymosan A than toward linear beta-1,3 glucan substrates. Sometimes these two domains are found associated with other domains such as in the Catenulispora acidiphila DSM 44928 carbohydrate binding family 6 protein in which they are positioned N-terminal of a carbohydrate binding module, family 6 (CBM_6) domain. In the Cellulosimicrobium cellulans, glucan endo-1,3-beta-glucosidase, they are positioned N-terminal of a RICIN, carbohydrate-binding domain, and in the Salinispora tropica CNB-440, coagulation factor 5/8 C-terminal domain (FA58C) protein, they are positioned C-terminal of two FA58C domains which are proposed to function as cell surface-attached, carbohydrate-binding domain. This FA58C-containing protein has an internal peptide deletion (of approx. 44 residues) in the LPHase domain II.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Õ™¢€0€0€ €‚£cd09215, Thaumatin-like, the sweet-tasting protein, thaumatin, and thaumatin-like proteins involved in host defense. This family is represented by the sweet-tasting protein thaumatin from the African berry Thaumatococcus daniellii and thaumatin-like proteins (TLPs) involved in host defense and a wide range of developmental processes in fungi, plants, and animals. Plant TLPs are classified as pathogenesis-related (PR) protein family 5 (PR5), their expression is induced by environmental stresses such as pathogen/pest attack, drought and cold. TLPs included in this family are such proteins as zeamatin, found in high concentrations in cereal seeds; osmotin, a salt-induced protein in osmotically stressed plants; and PpAZ44, a propylene-induced TLP in abscission of young fruit. Several members of the plant TLP family have been reported as food allergens from fruits (i.e., cherry, Pru av 2; bell pepper, Cap a1; tomatoes, Lyc e NP24) and pollen allergens from conifers (i.e., mountain cedar, Jun a 3; Arizona cypress, Cup a3; Japanese cedar, Cry j3). Thaumatin and TLPs are three-domain, crescent-fold structures with either an electronegative, electropositive, or neutral cleft occurring between domains I and II. It has been proposed that the antifungal activity of plant PR5 proteins relies on the strong electronegative character of this cleft. Some TLPs hydrolyze the beta-1,3-glucans of the type commonly found in fungal walls. Most TLPs contain 16 conserved Cys residues. A deletion within the third domain (domain II) of the Triticum aestivum thaumatin-like xylanase inhibitor is observed, thus, only 10 conserved Cys residues are present within this smaller TLP and similar homologs.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Õš¢€0€0€ €‚™cd09216, GH64-LPHase-like, glycoside hydrolase family 64: laminaripentaose-producing, beta-1,3-glucanase (LPHase)-like.

IgE-binding epitopes of mountain Cedar (Juniperus ashei) allergen Jun a 3, which interact with pooled IgE from patients suffering allergenic response to this allergen, were mainly located on the helical domain II; the best-conserved IgE-binding epitope predicted for TLPs corresponds to this region. Some TLPs hydrolyze the beta-1,3-glucans of the type commonly found in fungal walls. Most TLPs contain 16 conserved Cys residues.

This protein superfamily contains the D1, D2 subunits of the photosystem II (PS II) and the M, L subunits of the bacterial photosynthetic reaction center (RC). These four proteins are highly homologous and share a common fold. PS II is a multi-subunit protein found in the photosynthetic membranes of plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. It utilizes light-induced electron transfer and water-splitting reactions to produce protons, electrons, and molecular oxygen. The protons generated are instrumental in ATP formation. Bacterial photosynthetic reaction center (RC) complex is found in photosynthetic bacteria, such as purple bacteria and other proteobacteria species. It couples light-induced electron transfer to proton pumping across the membrane by reactions of a quinone molecule (QB) that binds two electrons and two protons at the active site. Protons are translocated from the bacterial cytoplasm to the periplasmic space, generating an electrochemical gradient of protons (the protonmotive force) that can be used to power reactions such as the synthesis of ATP.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Ýa¢€0€0€ €‚¡cd09224, CytoC_RC, Cytochrome C subunit of the bacterial photosynthetic reaction center. Photosynthesis in purple bacteria is dependent on light-induced electron transfer in the reaction center (RC), coupled to the uptake of protons from the cytoplasm. The RC contains a cytochrome molecule which re-reduces the oxidized electron donor. The electron transfer reactions of photosynthesis are performed by the following three components: the photosynthetic reaction center (RC), the cytochrome, and the soluble electron carrier protein. Firstly, the RC promotes the light-induced charge separation across the plasma membrane, which results in the oxidation of a pair of light-harvesting complexes, LH1 and LH2, and the reduction of quinone to quinol. The quinol then leaves the RC and moves to the cytochrome complex through the quinone pool of the plasma membrane. Secondly, the cytochrome complex reoxidizes the quinol to quinone, and the released electrons are transferred to soluble electron carriers. Third, the soluble electron carriers transport the electrons to the RC through the periplasmic space. Finally, the photo-oxidized light-harvesting complex is reduced by the soluble electron carriers, and the RC comes back to the initial state. In the course of the oxidation and reduction of the quinones, a transmembrane electrochemical gradient of protons is formed, and its energy is used to produce ATP by the ATP synthase complex.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¢€0€0€ €‚Öcd09232, Snurportin-1_C, C-terminal m3G cap-binding domain of nuclear import adaptor snurportin-1. Snurportin-1 (SPN1 or SNUPN) is a nuclear import adaptor for m3G-capped spliceosomal U small nucleoproteins (snRNPs), which are assembled in the cytoplasm. After capping and assembly, the U snRNPs are transported into the nucleus by SPN1 and importin beta; SPN1 is then returned to the cytoplasm by exportin 1 (CRM1), which also transports the non-capped U snRNPs. The U snRNPs are essential elements of the spliceosome, which catalyzes the excision of introns and the ligation of exons to form a mature mRNA. SPN1 contains two domains, an N-terminal importin beta-binding (IBB) domain and a C-terminal m3G cap-binding domain.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Õu¢€0€0€ €‚Ùcd09233, ACE1-Sec16-like, Ancestral coatomer element 1 (ACE1) of COPII coat complex assembly protein Sec16.

AP complexes participate in the formation of intracellular coated transport vesicles and select cargo molecules for incorporation into the coated vesicles in the late secretory and endocytic pathways. There are four AP complexes, AP-1, AP-2, AP-3, and AP-4, described in various eukaryotic organisms. Each AP complex consists of four subunits: two large chains (one each of gamma/alpha/delta/epsilon and beta1-4, respectively), a medium mu chain (mu1-4), and a small sigma chain (sigma1-4). Each of the four subunits from the different AP complexes exhibits similarity with each other. This family corresponds to the C-terminal domain of heterotetrameric clathrin-associated adaptor protein complex 1 (AP-1) medium mu1 subunit, which includes two closely related homologs, mu1A (encoded by ap1m1) and mu1B (encoded by ap1m2). Mu1A is ubiquitously expressed, but mu1B is expressed exclusively in polarized epithelial cells. AP-1 has been implicated in bi-directional transport between the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and endosomes. It plays an essential role in the formation of clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs) from the trans-Golgi network (TGN). Epithelial cell-specific AP-1 is also involved in sorting to the basolateral surface of polarized epithelial cells. Recruitment of AP-1 to the TGN membrane is regulated by a small GTPase, ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (ARF1). Phosphorylation/dephosphorylation events can also regulate the function of AP-1. The membrane-anchored cargo molecules can be linked to the outer lattice of CCVs by AP-1. Those cargo molecules interact with adaptors through short sorting signals in their cytosolic segments. Tyrosine-based endocytotic signals are one of the most important sorting signals. They are of the form Y-X-X-Phi, where Y is tyrosine, X is any amino acid and Phi is a bulky hydrophobic residue that can be Leu, Ile, Met, Phe, or Val. These kinds of sorting signals can be recognized by the C-terminal domain of AP-1 mu1 subunit, also known as Y-X-X-Phi signal-binding domain that contains two hydrophobic pockets, one for the tyrosine-binding and one for the bulky hydrophobic residue-binding.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €#6¢€0€0€ €‚ øcd09251, AP-2_Mu2_Cterm, C-terminal domain of medium Mu2 subunit in ubiquitously expressed clathrin-associated adaptor protein (AP) complex AP-2. AP complexes participate in the formation of intracellular coated transport vesicles and select cargo molecules for incorporation into the coated vesicles in the late secretory and endocytic pathways. There are four AP complexes, AP-1, -2, -3, and -4, described in various eukaryotic organisms. Each AP complex consists of four subunits: two large chains (one each of gamma/alpha/delta/epsilon and beta1-4, respectively), a medium mu chain (mu1-4), and a small sigma chain (sigma1-4). Each of the four subunits from the different AP complexes exhibits similarity with each other. This family corresponds to the C-terminal domain of heterotetrameric clathrin-associated adaptor protein complex 2 (AP-2) medium mu2 subunit. Mu2 is ubiquitously expressed in mammals. In higher eukaryotes, AP-2 plays a critical role in clathrin-mediated endocytosis from the plasma membrane in different cells. The membrane-anchored cargo molecules can be linked to the outer lattice of CCVs by AP-2. Those cargo molecules interact with adaptors through short sorting signals in their cytosolic segments. Tyrosine-based endocytotic signals are one of the most important sorting signals. They are of the form Y-X-X-Phi, where Y is tyrosine, X is any amino acid and Phi is a bulky hydrophobic residue that can be Leu, Ile, Met, Phe, or Val. These kinds of sorting signals can be recognized by the C-terminal domain of AP-2 mu2 subunit, also known as Y-X-X-Phi signal-binding domain that contains two hydrophobic pockets, one for the tyrosine-binding and one for the bulky hydrophobic residue-binding. Since the Y-X-X-Phi binding site is buried in the core structure of AP-2, a phosphorylation induced conformational change is required when the cargo molecules binds to AP-2. In addition, the C-terminal domain of mu2 subunit has been shown to bind other molecules. For instance, it can bind phosphoinositides, in particular PI[4,5]P2, which might be involved in the recognition process of the tyrosine-based signals. It can also interact with synaptotagmins, a family of important modulators of calcium-dependent neurosecretion within the synaptic vesicle (SV) membrane. Since many of the other endocytic adaptors responsible for biogenesis of synaptic vesicles exist, in the absence of AP-2, clathrin-mediated endocytosis can still occur. However, the cells may not survive in the complete absence of clathrin as well as AP-2.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €#7¢€0€0€ €‚ƒcd09252, AP-3_Mu3_Cterm, C-terminal domain of medium Mu3 subunit in adaptor protein (AP) complex AP-3.

Each AP complex consists of four subunits: two large chains (one each of gamma/alpha/delta/epsilon and beta1-4, respectively), a medium mu chain (mu1-4), and a small sigma chain (sigma1-4). Each of the four subunits from the different AP complexes exhibits similarity with each other. This family corresponds to the C-terminal domain of heterotetrameric adaptor protein complex 3 (AP-3) medium mu3 subunit, which includes two closely related homologs, mu3A (P47A, encoded by ap3m1) and mu1B (P47B, encoded by ap3m2). Mu3A is ubiquitously expressed, but mu3B is specifically expressed in neurons and neuroendocrine cells. AP-3 is particularly important for targeting integral membrane proteins to lysosomes and lysome-related organelles at trans-Golgi network (TGN) and/or endosomes, such as the yeast vacuole, fly pigment granules and mammalian melanosomes, platelet dense bodies and the secretory lysosomes of cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Unlike AP-1 and AP-2, which function in conjunction with clathrin which is a scaffolding protein participating in the formation of coated vesicles, the nature of the outer shell of AP-3 containing coats remains to be elucidated. Membrane-anchored cargo molecules interact with adaptors through short sorting signals in their cytosolic segments. Tyrosine-based endocytotic signals are one of the most important sorting signals. They are of the form Y-X-X-Phi, where Y is tyrosine, X is any amino acid and Phi is a bulky hydrophobic residue that can be Leu, Ile, Met, Phe, or Val. These kinds of sorting signals can be recognized by the C-terminal domain of AP-3 mu3 subunit, also known as Y-X-X-Phi signal-binding domain that contains two hydrophobic pockets, one for the tyrosine-binding and one for the bulky hydrophobic residue-binding.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €#8¢€0€0€ €‚Ôcd09253, AP-4_Mu4_Cterm, C-terminal domain of medium Mu4 subunit in adaptor protein (AP) complex AP-4.

Each of the four subunits from the different AP complexes exhibits similarity with each other. This family corresponds to the C-terminal domain of heterotetrameric adaptor protein complex 4 (AP-4) medium mu4 subunit. AP-4 plays a role in signal-mediated trafficking of integral membrane proteins in mammalian cells. Unlike other AP complexes, AP-4 is found only in mammals and plants. It is believed to be part of a nonclathrin coat, since it might function independently of clathrin, a scaffolding protein participating in the formation of coated vesicles. Recruitment of AP-4 to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) membrane is regulated by a small GTPase, ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (ARF1) or a related protein. Membrane-anchored cargo molecules interact with adaptors through short sorting signals in their cytosolic segments. One of the most important sorting signals binding to mu subunits of AP complexes are tyrosine-based endocytotic signals, which are of the form Y-X-X-Phi, where Y is tyrosine, X is any amino acid and Phi is a bulky hydrophobic residue that can be Leu, Ile, Met, Phe, or Val. However, AP-4 does not bind most canonical tyrosine-based signals except for two naturally occurring ones from the lysosomal membrane proteins CD63 and LAMP-2a. It binds YX [FYL][FL]E motif, where X can be any residue, from the cytosolic tails of amyloid precursor protein (APP) family members in a distinct way.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €#9¢€0€0€ €‚3cd09254, AP_delta-COPI_MHD, Mu homology domain (MHD) of adaptor protein (AP) coat protein I (COPI) delta subunit. COPI complex-coated vesicles function in the early secretory pathway. They mediate the retrograde transport from the Golgi to the ER, and intra-Golgi transport. COPI complex-coated vesicles consist of a small GTPase, ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (ARF1) and a heteroheptameric coatomer composed of two subcomplexes, F-COPI and B-COPI. ARF1 regulates COPI vesicle formation by recruiting the coatomer onto Golgi membranes to initiate its coat function. Coatomer complexes then bind cargo molecules and self-assemble to form spherical cages that yield COPI-coated vesicles. The heterotetrameric F-COPI subcomplex contains beta-, gamma-, delta-, and zeta-COP subunits, where beta- and gamma-COP subunits are related to the large AP subunits, and delta- and zeta-COP subunits are related to the medium and small AP subunits, respectively. Due to the sequence similarity to the AP complexes, the F-COPI subcomplex might play a role in the cargo-binding. The heterotrimeric B-COPI contains alpha-, beta-, and epsilon-COP subunits, which are not related to the adaptins. This subcomplex is thought to participate in the cage-forming and might serve a function similar to that of clathrin. This family corresponds to the mu homology domain of delta-subunit of COPI complex (delta-COP), which is distantly related to the C-terminal domain of mu chains among AP complexes. The delta-COP subunit appears tightly associated with the beta-COP subunit to confer its interaction with ARF1. In addition, both delta- and beta-COP subunits contribute to a common binding site for arginine (R)-based signals, which are sorting motifs conferring transient endoplasmic reticulum (ER) localization to unassembled subunits of multimeric membrane proteins.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €#:¢€0€0€ €‚Õcd09255, AP-like_stonins_MHD, Mu homology domain (MHD) of adaptor-like proteins (AP-like), stonins. A small family of proteins named stonins has been characterized as clathrin-dependent AP-2 mu2 chain related factors, which may act as cargo-specific sorting adaptors in endocytosis. Stonins include stonin 1 and stonin 2, which are only mammalian homologs of Drosophila stoned B, a presynaptic protein implicated in neurotransmission and synaptic vesicle (SV) recycling. They are conserved from C. elegans to humans, but are not found in prokaryotes or yeasts. This family corresponds to the mu homology domain of stonins, which is distantly related to the C-terminal domain of mu chains among AP complexes. Due to the low degree of sequence conservation of the corresponding binding site, the mu homology domain of stonins is unable to recognize tyrosine-based endocytic sorting signals. To data, little is known about the localization and function of stonin 1. Stonin 2, also known as stoned B, acts as an AP-2-dependent synaptotagmin-specific sorting adaptors for SV endocytosis. Stoned A is not a stonin. It is structurally unrelated to the adaptins and does not appear to have mammalian homologs. It is not included in this family.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €#;¢€0€0€ €‚Ccd09256, AP_MuD_MHD, Mu-homology domain (MHD) of a adaptor protein (AP) encoded by mu-2 related death-inducing gene, MuD (also known as MUDENG). This family corresponds to the MHD found in a protein encoded by MuD (also known as Adapter-related protein complex 5 subunit mu-1), which is distantly related to the C-terminal domain of the mu2 subunit of AP complexes that participates in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. MuD is evolutionary conserved from mammals to amphibians. It is able to induce cell death by itself and plays an important role in cell death in various tissues.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €#<¢€0€0€ €‚ Ccd09257, AP_muniscins_like_MHD, Mu-homology domain (MHD) of muniscins adaptor proteins (AP) and similar proteins. This family corresponds to the MHD found in muniscins, a novel family of endocytic adaptor proteins. The term, muniscins, has been assigned to name the MHD of proteins with both EFC/F-BAR domain and MHD. These two domains are responsible for the membrane-tubulation activity associated with transmembrane cargo proteins. Members in this family include an endocytic adaptor Syp1, the mammalian FCH domain only proteins (FCHo1/2), SH3-containing GRB2-like protein 3-interacting protein 1 (SGIP1), and related uncharacterized proteins. Syp1 is a poorly characterized yeast protein with multiple biological functions. Syp1 contains an N-terminal EFC/F-BAR domain that induces membrane tabulation, a proline-rich domain (PRD) in the middle region, and a C-terminal MHD that can directly binds to the endocytic adaptor/scaffold protein Ede1 or a transmembrane stress sensor cargo protein Mid2. Thus, Syp1 represents a novel type of endocytic adaptor protein that participates in endocytosis, promotes vesicle tabulation, and contributes to cell polarity and stress response. Syp1 shares the same domain architecture with its two ubiquitously expressed mammalian counterparts, the membrane-sculpting F-BAR domain-containing Fer/Cip4 homology domain-only proteins 1 and 2 (FCHo1/2). FCHo1/2 represent key initial proteins ultimately controlling cellular nutrient uptake, receptor regulation, and synaptic vesicle retrieval. They are required for plasma membrane clathrin-coated vesicle (CCV) budding and marked sites of CCV formation. They bind specifically to the plasma membrane and recruit the scaffold proteins eps15 and intersectin, which subsequently engage the adaptor complex AP2 and clathrin, leading to coated vesicle formation. Another mammalian neuronal-specific protein, neuronal-specific transcript Scr homology 3 (SH3)-domain growth factor receptor-bound 2 (GRB2)-like (endophilin) interacting protein 1 [SGIP1] does not contain EFC/F-BAR domain, but does have a PRD and a C-terminal MHD and has been classified into this family as well. SGIP1 is an endophilin-interacting protein that plays an obligatory role in the regulation of energy homeostasis. It is also involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis by interacting with phospholipids and eps15.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €#=¢€0€0€ €‚gcd09258, AP-1_Mu1A_Cterm, C-terminal domain of medium Mu1A subunit in ubiquitously expressed clathrin-associated adaptor protein (AP) complex AP-1. AP complexes participate in the formation of intracellular coated transport vesicles and select cargo molecules for incorporation into the coated vesicles in the late secretory and endocytic pathways. There are four AP complexes, AP-1, AP-2, AP-3, and AP-4, described in various eukaryotic organisms. Each AP complex consists of four subunits: two large chains (one each of gamma/alpha/delta/epsilon and beta1-4, respectively), a medium mu chain (mu1-4), and a small sigma chain (sigma1-4). Each of the four subunits from the different AP complexes exhibits similarity with each other. This subfamily corresponds to the C-terminal domain of heterotetrameric clathrin-associated adaptor protein complex 1 (AP-1) medium mu1A subunit encoded by ap1m1 gene, which is ubiquitously expressed in all mammalian tissues and cells. AP-1 has been implicated in bidirectional transport between the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and endosomes. It is involved in the formation of clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs) from the trans-Golgi network (TGN). The ubiquitous AP-1 is recruited to the TGN membrane, as well as to immature secretory granules. Recruitment of AP-1 to the TGN membrane is regulated by a small GTPase, ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (ARF1). Phosphorylation/dephosphorylation events can also regulate the function of AP-1. The membrane-anchored cargo molecules can be linked to the outer lattice of CCVs by AP-1. Those cargo molecules interact with adaptors through short sorting signals in their cytosolic segments. Tyrosine-based endocytotic signals are one of the most important sorting signals. They are of the form Y-X-X-Phi, where Y is tyrosine, X is any amino acid and Phi is a bulky hydrophobic residue that can be Leu, Ile, Met, Phe, or Val. These kinds of sorting signals can be recognized by the C-terminal domain of AP-1 mu1A subunit, also known as Y-X-X-Phi signal-binding domain that contains two hydrophobic pockets, one for the tyrosine-binding and one for the bulky hydrophobic residue-binding.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €#>¢€0€0€ €‚ ]cd09259, AP-1_Mu1B_Cterm, C-terminal domain of medium Mu1B subunit in epithelial cell-specific clathrin-associated adaptor protein (AP) complex AP-1.

This subfamily corresponds to the C-terminal domain of heterotetrameric clathrin-associated adaptor protein complex 1 (AP-1) medium mu1B subunit encoded by ap1m2 gene exclusively expressed in polarized epithelial cells. Epithelial cell-specific AP-1 is used to sort proteins to the basolateral plasma membrane, which involves the formation of clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs) from the trans-Golgi network (TGN). Recruitment of AP-1 to the TGN membrane is regulated by a small GTPase, ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (ARF1). The phosphorylation/dephosphorylation events can also regulate the function of AP-1.

These kinds of sorting signals can be recognized by the C-terminal domain of AP-1 mu1B subunit, also known as Y-X-X-Phi signal-binding domain that contains two hydrophobic pockets, one for the tyrosine-binding and one for the bulky hydrophobic reside-binding. Besides, AP-1 mu1B subunit mediates the basolateral recycling of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) and transferrin receptor (TfR) from the sorting endosomes, where the basolateral sorting signal does not belong to the tyrosine-based signals. Thus, the binding site in mu1B subunit of AP-1 for the signals of LDLR and TfR might be distinct from that for YXXPhi signals.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €#?¢€0€0€ €‚–cd09260, AP-3_Mu3A_Cterm, C-terminal domain of medium Mu3A subunit in ubiquitously expressed adaptor protein (AP) complex AP-3.

This subfamily corresponds to the C-terminal domain of heterotetrameric adaptor protein complex 3 (AP-3) medium mu3A subunit encoded by ap3m1gene. Mu3A is ubiquitously expressed in all mammalian tissues and cells. It appears to be localized to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and/or endosomes and participates in trafficking to the vacuole/lysosome in yeast, flies, and mammals. Unlike AP-1 and AP-2, which function in conjunction with clathrin which is a scaffolding protein participating in the formation of coated vesicles, the nature of the outer shell of ubiquitous AP-3 containing coats remains to be elucidated.

It was originally identified as a suppressor of a yeast profiling deletion and later as a suppressor of arf3delta (Arf3 is the yeast homologue of Arf6, a mammalian regulator of endocytosis). Syp1 can bind to septins and physically link with cell polarity factors. It also directly binds to the endocytic adaptor/scaffold protein Ede1, and plays a role in endocytosis. Further studies show that Syp1 is itself an endocytic adaptor protein contributing to stress responses. Its mu-homology domain at the C-terminus binds to the cargo protein Mid2, a transmembrane stress sensor protein, and mediates Mid2 internalization. In addition, Syp1 contains an EFC/F-BAR domain which can induce membrane tabulation.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €#B¢€0€0€ €‚Œcd09265, AP_Syp1_like_MHD, Mu-homology domain (MHD) of endocytic adaptor protein (AP), Syp1.

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi DeoM (earlier named as DeoX) is a mutarotase with high specificity for deoxyribose. It is encoded by one of four genes beonging to the deoK operon. This operon has also been found in Escherichia coli where it is more common in pathogenic than in commensal strains and is associated with pathogenicity. It has been found on a pathogenicity island from a human blood isolate AL863 and confers the ability to use deoxyribose as a carbon source; deoxyribose is not fermented by non-pathogenic E.coli K-12. Proteins in this family are members of the aldose-1-epimerase superfamily. Aldose 1-epimerases, or mutarotases, are key enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism, catalyzing the interconversion of the alpha- and beta-anomers of hexose sugars such as glucose and galactose. This interconversion is an important step that allows anomer specific metabolic conversion of sugars. Studies of the catalytic mechanism of the best known member of the family, galactose mutarotase, have shown a glutamate and a histidine residue to be critical for catalysis; the glutamate serves as the active site base to initiate the reaction by removing the proton from the C-1 hydroxyl group of the sugar substrate, and the histidine as the active site acid to protonate the C-5 ring oxygen. Site directed mutagenesis of this latter histidine residue renders Salmonella enterica DeoM inactive.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Õg¢€0€0€ €‚±cd09270, RNase_H2-B, Ribonuclease H2-B is a subunit of the eukaryotic RNase H complex which cleaves RNA-DNA hybrids.

RNase HI in LTR retrotransposons perform degradation of the original RNA template, generation of a polypurine tract (the primer for plus-strand DNA synthesis), and final removal of RNA primers from newly synthesized minus and plus strands. The catalytic residues for RNase H enzymatic activity, three aspartatic acids and one glutamic acid residue (DEDD), are unvaried across all RNase H domains. Phylogenetic patterns of RNase HI of LTR retroelements is classified into five major families, Ty3/Gypsy, Ty1/Copia, Bel/Pao, DIRS1 and the vertebrate retroviruses. The structural features of DIRS1-group elements are different from typical LTR elements. RNase H inhibitors have been explored as an anti-HIV drug target because RNase H inactivation inhibits reverse transcription.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €÷§¢€0€0€ €‚˜cd09276, Rnase_HI_RT_non_LTR, non-LTR RNase HI domain of reverse transcriptases. Ribonuclease H (RNase H) is classified into two families, type 1 (prokaryotic RNase HI, eukaryotic RNase H1 and viral RNase H) and type 2 (prokaryotic RNase HII and HIII, and eukaryotic RNase H2). Ribonuclease HI (RNase HI) is an endonuclease that cleaves the RNA strand of an RNA/DNA hybrid in a sequence non-specific manner. RNase H is widely present in various organisms, including bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes. RNase HI has also been observed as an adjunct domain to the reverse transcriptase gene in retroviruses, long-term repeat (LTR)-bearing retrotransposons and non-LTR retrotransposons.

The catalytic residues for RNase H enzymatic activity, three aspartatic acids and one glutamic acid residue (DEDD), are unvaried across all RNase H domains. The position of the RNase domain of non-LTR and LTR transposons is at the carboxyl terminal of the reverse transcriptase (RT) domain and their RNase domains group together, indicating a common evolutionary origin. Many non-LTR transposons have lost the RNase domain because their activity is at the nucleus and cellular RNase may suffice; however LTR retrotransposons always encode their own RNase domain because it requires RNase activity in RNA-protein particles in the cytoplasm. RNase H inhibitors have been explored as an anti-HIV drug target because RNase H inactivation inhibits reverse transcription.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €÷¨¢€0€0€ €‚¿cd09277, RNase_HI_bacteria_like, Bacterial RNase HI containing a hybrid binding domain (HBD) at the N-terminus. Ribonuclease H (RNase H) enzymes are divided into two major families, Type 1 and Type 2, based on amino acid sequence similarities and biochemical properties. RNase H is an endonuclease that cleaves the RNA strand of an RNA/DNA hybrid in a sequence non-specific manner in the presence of divalent cations. RNase H is involved in DNA replication, repair and transcription. RNase H is widely present in various organisms, including bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes and most prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes contain multiple RNase H genes. Despite the lack of amino acid sequence homology, Type 1 and type 2 RNase H share a main-chain fold and steric configurations of the four acidic active-site (DEDD) residues and have the same catalytic mechanism and functions in cells. One of the important functions of RNase H is to remove Okazaki fragments during DNA replication. Prokaryotic RNase H varies greatly in domain structures and substrate specificities. Prokaryotes and some single-cell eukaryotes do not require RNase H for viability. Some bacteria distinguished from other bacterial RNase HI in the presence of a hybrid binding domain (HBD) at the N-terminus which is commonly present at the N-termini of eukaryotic RNase HI.

Most archaeal genomes contain only type 2 RNase H (RNase HII); however, a few contain RNase HI as well. Although archaeal RNase HI sequences conserve the DEDD active-site motif, they lack other common features important for catalytic function, such as the basic protrusion region.

Nicotinamide/nicotinate mononucleotide (NMN/ NaMN)adenylyltransferase (NMNAT). NMNAT represents the primary bacterial and eukaryotic adenylyltransferases for nicotinamide-nucleotide and for the deamido form, nicotinate nucleotide. It is an indispensable enzyme in the biosynthesis of NAD(+) and NADP(+). Nicotinamide-nucleotide adenylyltransferase synthesizes NAD via the salvage pathway, while nicotinate-nucleotide adenylyltransferase synthesizes the immediate precursor of NAD via the de novo pathway. Human NMNAT displays unique dual substrate specificity toward both NMN and NaMN, and can participate in both de novo and salvage pathways of NAD synthesis. This subfamily consists strictly of eukaryotic members and includes secondary structural elements not found in all NMNATs.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ÕQ¢€0€0€ €‚4cd09287, GluRS_non_core, catalytic core domain of non-discriminating glutamyl-tRNA synthetase. Non-discriminating Glutamyl-tRNA synthetase (GluRS) cataytic core domain. These enzymes attach Glu to the appropriate tRNA. Like other class I tRNA synthetases, they aminoacylate the 2'-OH of the nucleotide at the 3' end of the tRNA. The core domain is based on the Rossman fold and is responsible for the ATP-dependent formation of the enzyme bound aminoacyl-adenylate. It contains the characteristic class I HIGH and KMSKS motifs, which are involved in ATP binding. These enzymes function as monomers. Archaea and most bacteria lack GlnRS. In these organisms, the "non-discriminating" form of GluRS aminoacylates both tRNA(Glu) and tRNA(Gln) with Glu, which is converted to Gln when appropriate by a transamidation enzyme.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ÕR¢€0€0€ €‚Òcd09288, Photosystem-II_D2, D2 subunit of photosystem II (PS II).

It utilizes light-induced electron transfer and water-splitting reactions to produce protons, electrons, and molecular oxygen. The protons generated are instrumental in ATP formation. Molecular dioxygen is released as a by-product. PS II can be described as containing two parts: the photochemical part and the catalytic part. The photochemical portion promotes the fast, efficient light-induced charge separation and stabilization that occur when light is absorbed by chlorophyll. The catalytic portion, where water is oxidized, involves a cluster of Mn ions close to a redox-active tyrosine residue.

Bacterial photosynthetic reaction center (RC) complex, subunit L. The bacterial photosynthetic reaction center couples light-induced electron transfer with pumping protons across the membrane using reactions involving a quinone molecule (QB) that binds two electrons and two protons at the active site. The reaction center consists of three membrane-bound subunits, designated L, M, and H, plus an additional extracellular cytochrome subunit. The L and M subunits are arranged around an axis of 2-fold rotational symmetry perpendicular to the membrane, forming a scaffold that maintains the cofactors in a precise configuration. The L and M subunits have both sequence and structural similarity, suggesting a common evolutionary origin. The L and M subunits bind noncovalently to the nine cofactors in 2-fold symmetric branches: four bacteriochlorophylls (Bchl), two bacteriopheophytins (Bphe), two ubiquinone molecules (QA and QB), and a non-heme iron. Two Bchls on the periplasmic side of the membrane form the 'special pair' or dimer which is the primary electron donor for the photosynthetic reactions. The electron transfer reaction proceeds from the dimer to an intermediate acceptor (PA), a primary quinone (QA), and a secondary quinone (QB). Protons are translocated from the bacterial cytoplasm to the periplasmic space, generating an electrochemical gradient of protons (the protonmotive force) that can be used to power reactions such as ATP synthesis.

Amn1 has been functionally characterized in Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a component of the Antagonist of MEN pathway (AMEN). The AMEN network is activated by MEN (mitotic exit network) via an active Cdc14, and in turn switches off MEN. Amn1 constitutes one of the alternative mechanisms by which MEN may be disrupted. Specifically, Amn1 binds Tem1 (Termination of M-phase, a GTPase that belongs to the RAS superfamily), and disrupts its association with Cdc15, the primary downstream target. Amn1 is a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) protein, with 12 repeats in the S. cerevisiae ortholog. As a negative regulator of the signal transduction pathway MEN, overexpression of AMN1 slows the growth of wild type cells. The function of the vertebrate members of this family has not been determined experimentally, they have fewer LRRs that determine the extent of this model.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Ýj¢€0€0€ €‚çcd09294, SmpB, Small protein B (SmpB) is a component of the trans-translation system in prokaryotes for releasing stalled ribosome from damaged messenger RNAs. Small protein B (SmpB) is a component of the trans-translation system in prokaryotes for releasing stalled ribosome from damaged messenger RNAs and targeting incompletely synthesized protein fragments for degradation. Trans-translation system is composed of a ribonucleoprotein complex of tmRNA, a specialized RNA with properties of both tRNA and mRNA, and SmpB. SmpB is highly conserved and present in all bacterial kingdoms and is also found in some chloroplasts and mitochondria. This is suggesting Trans-translation arose early in bacterial evolution and its mechanism is a quality control for protein synthesis in spite of challenges such as transcription errors, mRNA damage, and translation frame shifting. SmpB deletion results in phage development defects phenotype and absence of tagged proteins translated from defective mRNAs.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Ýk¢€0€0€ €‚Ôcd09295, Sema, The Sema domain, a protein interacting module, of semaphorins and plexins. Both semaphorins and plexins have a Sema domain on their N-termini. Plexins function as receptors for the semaphorins. Evolutionarily, plexins may be the ancestor of semaphorins. Semaphorins are regulatory molecules in the development of the nervous system and in axonal guidance. They also play important roles in other biological processes, such as angiogenesis, immune regulation, respiration systems, and cancer. Semaphorins can be divided into 7 classes. Vertebrates have members in classes 3-7, whereas classes 1 and 2 are known only in invertebrates. Class 2 and 3 semaphorins are secreted; classes 1 and 4 through 6 are transmembrane proteins; and class 7 is membrane associated via glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) linkage. Plexins are a large family of transmembrane proteins, which are divided into four types (A-D) according to sequence similarity. In vertebrates, type A plexins serve as co-receptors for neuropilins to mediate the signalling of class 3 semaphorins. Plexins serve as direct receptors for several other members of the semaphorin family: class 6 semaphorins signal through type A plexins and class 4 semaphorins through type B plexins. This family also includes the MET and RON receptor tyrosine kinases. The Sema domain is located at the N-terminus and contains four disulfide bonds formed by eight conserved cysteine residues. It serves to recognize and bind receptors.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €/¢€0€0€ €‚‡cd09299, TDT, The Tellurite-resistance/Dicarboxylate Transporter (TDT) family.

In plants, the plasma membrane protein SLAC1 (Slow Anion Channel-Associated 1), which is preferentially expressed in guard cells, encodes a distant homolog of fungal and bacterial dicarboxylate/malic acid transport proteins.

The HDAC/HDAC-like family includes Zn-dependent histone deacetylase classes I, II and IV (class III HDACs, also called sirtuins, are NAD-dependent and structurally unrelated, and therefore not part of this family). Histone deacetylases catalyze hydrolysis of N(6)-acetyl-lysine residues in histone amino termini to yield a deacetylated histone (EC 3.5.1.98), as opposed to the acetylation reaction by some histone acetyltransferases (EC 2.3.1.48). Deacetylases of this family are involved in signal transduction through histone and other protein modification, and can repress/activate transcription of a number of different genes. They usually act via the formation of large multiprotein complexes. They are involved in various cellular processes, including cell cycle regulation, DNA damage response, embryonic development, cytokine signaling important for immune response and post-translational control of the acetyl coenzyme A synthetase. In mammals, they are known to be involved in progression of different tumors.

The SSU1 gene encodes the sulfite pump required for efficient sulfite efflux. Mutations in the SSU1 gene cause sensitivity to sulfite while overexpression confers heightened resistance to sulfite toxicity. In dematophytes and other filamentous fungi, sulfite is excreted as a reducing agent during keratin degradation; thus sulfite transporters in keratinolytic fungi could be a new target for antifungal drugs in dermatology.

TRIP6 protein localizes to focal adhesion sites and along actin stress fibers. Recruitment of this protein to the plasma membrane occurs in a lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)-dependent manner. TRIP6 recruits a number of molecules involved in actin assembly, cell motility, survival and transcriptional control. The function of TRIP6 in cell motility is regulated by Src-dependent phosphorylation at a Tyr residue. The phosphorylation activates the coupling to the Crk SH2 domain, which is required for the function of TRIP6 in promoting lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)-induced cell migration. TRIP6 can shuttle to the nucleus to serve as a coactivator of AP-1 and NF-kappaB transcriptional factors. Moreover, TRIP6 can form a ternary complex with the NHERF2 PDZ protein and LPA2 receptor to regulate LPA-induced activation of ERK and AKT, rendering cells resistant to chemotherapy.

Members of the family contain three tandem C-terminal LIM domains and a proline-rich N-terminal region. This family of proteins functions as scaffolds, participating in the assembly of numerous protein complexes. In the cytoplasm, Ajuba binds Grb2 to modulate serum-stimulated ERK activation. Ajuba also recruits the TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) to p62 and activates PKCKappa activity. Ajuba interacts with alpha-catenin and F-actin to contribute to the formation or stabilization of adheren junctions by linking adhesive receptors to the actin cytoskeleton. Although Ajuba is a cytoplasmic protein, it can shuttle into the nucleus. In nucleus, Ajuba functions as a corepressor for the zinc finger-protein Snail. It binds to the SNAG repression domain of Snail through its LIM region. Arginine methyltransferase-5 (Prmt5), a protein in the complex, is recruited to Snai l through an interaction with Ajuba. This ternary complex functions to repress E-cadherin, a Snail target gene. In addition, Ajuba contains functional nuclear-receptor interacting motifs and selectively interacts with retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and rexinoid receptor (RXRs) to negatively regulate retinoic acid signaling. Wtip, the Wt1-interacting protein, was originally identified as an interaction partner of the Wilms tumour protein 1 (WT1). Wtip is involved in kidney and neural crest development. Wtip interacts with the receptor tyrosine kinase Ror2 and inhibits canonical Wnt signaling. LIMD1 was reported to inhibit cell growth and metastases. The inhibition may be mediated through an interaction with the protein barrier-to-autointegration (BAF), a component of SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling protein; or through the interaction with retinoblastoma protein (pRB), resulting in inhibition of E2F-mediated transcription, and expression of the majority of genes with E2F1- responsive elements. Recently, Limd1 was shown to interact with the p62/sequestosome protein and influence IL-1 and RANKL signaling by facilitating the assembly of a p62/TRAF6/a-PKC multi-protein complex.

The second LIM domain of Thyroid receptor-interacting protein 6 (TRIP6): TRIP6 is a member of the zyxin LIM protein family and contains three LIM zinc-binding domains at the C-terminal. TRIP6 protein localizes to focal adhesion sites and along actin stress fibers. Recruitment of this protein to the plasma membrane occurs in a lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)-dependent manner. TRIP6 recruits a number of molecules involved in actin assembly, cell motility, survival and transcriptional control. The function of TRIP6 in cell motility is regulated by Src-dependent phosphorylation at a Tyr residue. The phosphorylation activates the coupling to the Crk SH2 domain, which is required for the function of TRIP6 in promoting lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)-induced cell migration. TRIP6 can shuttle to the nucleus to serve as a coactivator of AP-1 and NF-kappaB transcriptional factors. Moreover, TRIP6 can form a ternary complex with the NHERF2 PDZ protein and LPA2 receptor to regulate LPA-induced activation of ERK and AKT, rendering cells resistant to chemotherapy.

LASP family contains two highly homologous members, LASP-1 and LASP-2. LASP contains a LIM motif at its amino terminus, a src homology 3 (SH3) domains at its C-terminal part, and a nebulin-like region in the middle. LASP-1 and -2 are highly conserved in their LIM, nebulin-like, and SH3 domains, but differ significantly at their linker regions. Both proteins are ubiquitously expressed and involved in cytoskeletal architecture, especially in the organization of focal adhesions. LASP-1 and LASP-2, are important during early embryo- and fetogenesis and are highly expressed in the central nervous system of the adult. However, only LASP-1 seems to participate significantly in neuronal differentiation and plays an important functional role in migration and proliferation of certain cancer cells while the role of LASP-2 is more structural. The expression of LASP-1 in breast tumors is increased significantly. N-RAP is a muscle-specific protein concentrated at myotendinous junctions in skeletal muscle and intercalated disks in cardiac muscle. LIM domain is found at the N-terminus of N-RAP and the C-terminal of N-RAP contains a region with multiple of nebulin repeats.

LHX proteins are critical for the development of specialized cells in multiple tissue types, including the nervous system, skeletal muscle, the heart, the kidneys, and endocrine organs, such as the pituitary gland and the pancreas. Isl-1 is one of the LHX proteins isolated originally by virtue of its ability to bind DNA sequences from the 5'-flanking region of the rat insulin gene in pancreatic insulin-producing cells. Mice deficient in Isl-1 fail to form the dorsal exocrine pancreas and islet cells fail to differentiate. On the other hand, Isl-1 takes part in the pituitary development by activating the gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor gene together with LHX3 and steroidogenic factor 1.

During embryogenesis in the mouse, Lhx1 is expressed early in mesodermal tissue, then later during urogenital, kidney, liver, and nervous system development. In the adult, expression is restricted to the kidney and brain. A mouse embryos with Lhx1 gene knockout cannot grow normal anterior head structures, kidneys, and gonads, but with normally developed trunk and tail morphology. In the developing nervous system, Lhx1 is required to direct the trajectories of motor axons in the limb. Lhx1 null female mice lack the oviducts and uterus.

In the adult, expression is restricted to the kidney and brain. A mouse embryos with Lhx1 gene knockout cannot grow normal anterior head structures, kidneys, and gonads, but with normally developed trunk and tail morphology. In the developing nervous system, Lhx1 is required to direct the trajectories of motor axons in the limb. Lhx1 null female mice lack the oviducts and uterus.

The third LIM domain of Thyroid receptor-interacting protein 6 (TRIP6): TRIP6 is a member of the zyxin LIM protein family and contains three LIM zinc-binding domains at the C-terminal. TRIP6 protein localizes to focal adhesion sites and along actin stress fibers. Recruitment of this protein to the plasma membrane occurs in a lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)-dependent manner. TRIP6 recruits a number of molecules involved in actin assembly, cell motility, survival and transcriptional control. The function of TRIP6 in cell motility is regulated by Src-dependent phosphorylation at a Tyr residue. The phosphorylation activates the coupling to the Crk SH2 domain, which is required for the function of TRIP6 in promoting lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)-induced cell migration. TRIP6 can shuttle to the nucleus to serve as a coactivator of AP-1 and NF-kappaB transcriptional factors. Moreover, TRIP6 can form a ternary complex with the NHERF2 PDZ protein and LPA2 receptor to regulate LPA-induced activation of ERK and AKT, rendering cells resistant to chemotherapy. Recent evidence shows that TRIP6 antagonizes Fas-Induced apoptosis by enhancing the antiapoptotic effect of LPA in cells.

LPP initially identified as the most frequent translocation partner of HMGA2 (High Mobility Group A2) in a subgroup of benign tumors of adipose tissue (lipomas). It was also shown to be rearranged in a number of other soft tissues, as well as in a case of acute monoblastic leukemia.

The third LIM domain of Ajuba-like proteins: Ajuba like LIM protein family includes three highly homologous proteins Ajuba, Limd1, and WTIP. Members of the family contain three tandem C-terminal LIM domains and a proline-rich N-terminal region. This family of proteins functions as scaffolds, participating in the assembly of numerous protein complexes. In the cytoplasm, Ajuba binds Grb2 to modulate serum-stimulated ERK activation. Ajuba also recruits the TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) to p62 and activates PKCKappa activity. Ajuba interacts with alpha-catenin and F-actin to contribute to the formation or stabilization of adheren junctions by linking adhesive receptors to the actin cytoskeleton. Although Ajuba is a cytoplasmic protein, it can shuttle into the nucleus. In nucleus, Ajuba functions as a corepressor for the zinc finger-protein Snail. It binds to the SNAG repression domain of Snail through its LIM region. Arginine methyltransferase-5 (Prmt5), a protein in the complex, is recruited to Snai l through an interaction with Ajuba. This ternary complex functions to repress E-cadherin, a Snail target gene. In addition, Ajuba contains functional nuclear-receptor interacting motifs and selectively interacts with retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and rexinoid receptor (RXRs) to negatively regulate retinoic acid signaling. Wtip, the Wt1-interacting protein, was originally identified as an interaction partner of the Wilms tumour protein 1 (WT1). Wtip is involved in kidney and neural crest development. Wtip interacts with the receptor tyrosine kinase Ror2 and inhibits canonical Wnt signaling. LIMD1 was reported to inhibit cell growth and metastases. The inhibition may be mediated through an interaction with the protein barrier-to-autointegration (BAF), a component of SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling protein; or through the interaction with retinoblastoma protein (pRB), resulting in inhibition of E2F-mediated transcription, and expression of the majority of genes with E2F1- responsive elements. Recently, Limd1 was shown to interact with the p62/sequestosome protein and influence IL-1 and RANKL signaling by facilitating the assembly of a p62/TRAF6/a-PKC multi-protein complex. The Limd1-p62 interaction affects both NF-kappaB and AP-1 activity in epithelial cells and osteoclasts. Moreover, LIMD1 functions as tumor repressor to block lung tumor cell line in vitro and in vivo. Recent studies revealed that LIM proteins Wtip, LIMD1 and Ajuba interact with components of RNA induced silencing complexes (RISC) as well as eIF4E and the mRNA m7GTP cap-protein complex and are required for microRNA-mediated gene silencing.

LIMK is involved in the regulation of actin polymerization and microtubule disassembly. LIMK influences architecture of the actin cytoskeleton by regulating the activity of the cofilin family proteins cofilin1, cofilin2, and destrin. The mechanism of the activation is to phosphorylates cofilin on serine 3 and inactivates its actin-severing activity, and altering the rate of actin depolymerization. LIMKs can function in both cytoplasm and nucleus. Both LIMK1 and LIMK2 can act in the nucleus to suppress Rac/Cdc42-dependent cyclin D1 expression. LIMK1 is expressed in all tissues and is localized to focal adhesions in the cell. LIMK1 can form homodimers upon binding of HSP90 and is activated by Rho effector Rho kinase and MAPKAPK2. LIMK1 is important for normal central nervous system development, and its deletion has been implicated in the development of the human genetic disorder Williams syndrome. Moreover, LIMK1 up-regulates the promoter activity of urokinase type plasminogen activator and induces its mRNA and protein expression in breast cancer cells.

The mechanism of the activation is to phosphorylates cofilin on serine 3 and inactivates its actin-severing activity, altering the rate of actin depolymerisation. LIMK activity is activated by phosphorylation of a threonine residue within the activation loop of the kinase by p21-activated kinases 1 and 4 and by Rho kinase. LIMKs can function in both cytoplasm and nucleus. Both LIMK1 and LIMK2 can act in the nucleus to suppress Rac/Cdc42-dependent cyclin D1 expression. LIMK2 is expressed in all tissues. While LIMK1 localizes mainly at focal adhesions, LIMK2 is found in cytoplasmic punctae, suggesting that they may have different cellular functions. The activity of LIM kinase 2 to regulate cofilin phosphorylation is inhibited by the direct binding of Par-3. LIMK2 activation promotes cell cycle progression. The phenotype of Limk2 knockout mice shows a defect in spermatogenesis.

Lhx9 null mice have reduced levels of the Sf1 nuclear receptor that is required for gonadogenesis, and recent studies have shown that Lhx9 is able to activate the Sf1/FtzF1 gene. Lhx9 null mice are phenotypically female, even those that are genotypically male.

Uracil-DNA glycosylases (UDG) catalyzes the removal of uracil from DNA, which initiates the DNA base excision repair pathway. Uracil in DNA can arise as a result of mis-incorporation of dUMP residues by DNA polymerase or via deamination of cytosine. Uracil in DNA mispaired with guanine is one of the major pro-mutagenic events, causing G:C->A:T mutations. Thus, UDG is an essential enzyme for maintaining the integrity of genetic information. At least five UDG families have been characterized so far; these families share similar overall folds and common active site motifs. They demonstrate different substrate specificities, but often the function of one enzyme can be complemented by the other. Family 1 enzymes are active against uracil in both ssDNA and dsDNA, and recognize uracil explicitly in an extrahelical conformation via a combination of protein and bound-water interactions. Family 2 enzymes are mismatch specific and explicitly recognize the widowed guanine on the complementary strand, rather than the extrahelical scissile pyrimidine. This allows a broader specificity so that some Family 2 enzymes can excise uracil as well as 3, N(4)-ethenocytosine from mismatches with guanine. A Family 3 UDG from human was first characterized to remove Uracil from ssDNA, hence the name hSMUG (single-strand-selective monofunctional uracil-DNA glycosylase). However, subsequent research has shown that hSMUG1 and its rat ortholog can remove uracil and its oxidized pyrimidine derivatives from both, ssDNA and dsDNA. Enzymes in Families 4 and 5 are both thermostable. Family 4 enzymes specifically recognize uracil in a manner similar to human UDG (Family 1), rather than guanine in the complementary strand DNA, as does E. coli MUG (Family 2). These results suggest that the mechanism by which Family 4 UDGs remove uracils from DNA is similar to that of Family 1 enzyme. Although Family 5 enzymes are close relatives of Family 4, they show different substrate specificities.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¢€0€0€ €‚ }cd09594, GluZincin, Peptidase Gluzincin family (thermolysin-like proteinases, TLPs) includes peptidases M1, M2, M3, M4, M13, M32 and M36 (fungalysins).

This family of uncharacterized bacterial proteins are homologs of the M4 peptidase family that is also known as the thermolysin-like peptidase (TLP) family. Typically, the M4 peptidases consist of a presequence (signal sequence), a propeptide sequence and a peptidase unit. The presequence is cleaved off during export while the propeptide has inhibitory and chaperone functions and facilitates folding. The propeptide remains attached until the peptidase is secreted and can be safely activated. All peptidases in this family bind a single catalytic zinc ion which is tetrahedrally co-ordinated by three amino acid ligands and a water molecule that forms the nucleophile on activation during catalysis. TLPs are secreted eubacterial endopeptidases from Gram-positive or Gram-negative sources that degrade extracellular proteins and peptides for bacterial nutrition.

LTA4H, is a bifunctional enzyme possessing an aminopeptidase as well as an epoxide hydrolase activity. The two activities occupy different, but overlapping sites. The activity and physiological relevance of the aminopeptidase is as yet unknown while the epoxide hydrolase converts leukotriene A4 (LTA4) into leukotriene B4 (LTB4), a potent chemotaxin that is fundamental to the inflammatory response of mammals. It accepts a variety of substrates, including some opioid, di- and tripeptides, as well as chromogenic aminoacyl-p-nitroanilide derivatives. The aminopeptidase activity of LTA4H is possibly involved in the processing of peptides related to inflammation and host defense. Kinetic analysis shows that LTA4H hydrolyzes arginyl tripeptides with high efficiency and specificity, indicating its function as an arginyl aminopeptidase. LTA4H is overexpressed in certain human cancers, and has been identified as a functionally important target for mediating anticancer properties of resveratrol, a well known red wine polyphenolic compound with cancer chemopreventive activity.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €âN¢€0€0€ €‚hcd09600, M1_APN_1, Peptidase M1 family containing Aminopeptidase N.

APN expression is dysregulated in inflammatory diseases such as chronic pain, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, systemic sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, polymyositis/dermatomyosytis and pulmonary sarcoidosis, and is enhanced in tumor cells such as melanoma, renal, prostate, pancreas, colon, gastric and thyroid cancers. It is predominantly expressed on stem cells and on cells of the granulocytic and monocytic lineages at distinct stages of differentiation, thus considered a marker of differentiation. Thus, APN inhibition may lead to the development of anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory drugs. APNs are also present in many pathogenic bacteria and represent potential drug targets, Some APNs have been used commercially, such as one from Lactococcus lactis used in the food industry. APN also serves as a receptor for coronaviruses, although the virus receptor interaction site seems to be distinct from the enzymatic site and aminopeptidase activity is not necessary for viral infection.

ERAP1 also known as endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase associated with antigen processing (ERAAP), adipocyte derived leucine aminopeptidase (A-LAP) or aminopeptidase regulating tumor necrosis factor receptor I (THFRI) shedding (ARTS-1), associates with the closely related ER aminopeptidase ERAP2, for the final trimming of peptides within the ER for presentation by MHC class I molecules. ERAP1 is associated with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), an inflammatory arthritis that predominantly affects the spine. ERAP1 also aids in the shedding of membrane-bound cytokine receptors. The tricorn interacting factor F3, together with factors F1 and F2, degrades the tricorn protease products, producing free amino acids, thus completing the proteasomal degradation pathway. F3 is homologous to F2, but not F1, and shows a strong preference for glutamate in the P1' position. APQ, also known as laeverin, is specifically expressed in human embryo-derived extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs) that invade the uterus during early placentation. It cleaves the N-terminal amino acid of various peptides such as angiotensin III, endokinin C, and kisspeptin-10, all expressed in the placenta in large quantities. APN is a receptor for coronaviruses, although the virus receptor interaction site seems to be distinct from the enzymatic site and aminopeptidase activity is not necessary for viral infection. APNs are also putative Cry toxin receptors. Cry1 proteins are pore-forming toxins that bind to the midgut epithelial cell membrane of susceptible insect larvae, causing extensive damage. Several different toxins, including Cry1Aa, Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac, Cry1Ba, Cry1Ca and Cry1Fa, have been shown to bind to APNs; however, a direct role of APN in cytotoxicity has been yet to be firmly established.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €âP¢€0€0€ €‚cd09602, M1_APN_3, Peptidase M1 family containing Aminopeptidase N.

The peptidase M3-like family, also called neurolysin-like family, is part of the "zincins" metallopeptidases, and includes M3, M2 and M32 families of metallopeptidases. The M3 family is subdivided into two subfamilies: the widespread M3A, which comprises a number of high-molecular mass endo- and exopeptidases from bacteria, archaea, protozoa, fungi, plants and animals, and the small M3B, whose members are enzymes primarily from bacteria. Well-known mammalian/eukaryotic M3A endopeptidases are the thimet oligopeptidase (TOP; endopeptidase 3.4.24.15), neurolysin (alias endopeptidase 3.4.24.16), and the mitochondrial intermediate peptidase. The first two are intracellular oligopeptidases, which act only on relatively short substrates of less than 20 amino acid residues, while the latter cleaves N-terminal octapeptides from proteins during their import into the mitochondria. The M3A subfamily also contains several bacterial endopeptidases, collectively called oligopeptidases A, as well as a large number of bacterial carboxypeptidases, called dipeptidyl peptidases (Dcp; Dcp II; peptidyl dipeptidase; EC 3.4.15.5). The peptidases in the M3 family contain the HEXXH motif that forms the active site in conjunction with a C-terminally-located Glutamic acid (Glu) residue. A single zinc ion is ligated by the side-chains of the two Histidine (His) residues, and the more C-terminal Glu. Most of the peptidases are synthesized without signal peptides or propeptides, and function intracellularly. The structure of neurolysin shows similarities to those of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE; peptidyl-dipeptidase A) peptidase unit 2 belonging to peptidase family M2. ACE is an enzyme responsible for cleavage of dipeptides from the C-termini of proteins, notably converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II in mammals. There are similarities to the thermostable carboxypeptidases from Pyrococcus furiosus carboxypeptidase (PfuCP), and Thermus aquaticus (TaqCP), belonging to peptidase family M32.

Proteins containing this domain may bind mono- or oligosaccharides with high specificity. The domain can occur in tandem-repeat arrangements with up to six copies, and in architectures combined with a variety of other functional domains. The family was initially named after an abundant protein found in the jackfruit seed. Jacalin specifically binds to the alpha-O-glycoside of the disaccharide Gal-beta1-3-GalNAc, and has proven useful in the study of O-linked glycoproteins.

This ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase (UCH) family includes UCH-L1 and UCH-L3, the two members sharing around 53% sequence identity as well as conserved catalytic residues. Both enzymes hydrolyze carboxyl terminal esters and amides of ubiquitin (Ub). UCH-L1, in dimeric form, has additional enzymatic activity as a ubiquitin ligase. It is highly abundant in the brain, constituting up to 2% of total protein, and is expressed exclusively in neurons and testes. Abnormal expression of UCH-L1 has been shown to correlate with several forms of cancer, including several primary lung tumors, lung tumor cell lines, and colorectal cancers. Mutations in the UCH-L1 gene have been linked to susceptibility to and protection from Parkinson's disease (PD); dysfunction of the hydrolase activity can lead to an accumulation of alpha-synuclein, which is linked to Parkinson's disease (PD), while accumulation of neurofibrillary tangles is linked to Alzheimer's disease (AD). UCH-L3 hydrolyzes isopeptide bonds at the C-terminal glycine of either Ub or Nedd8, a ubiquitin-like protein. It can also interact with Lys48-linked Ub dimers to protect them from degradation while inhibiting its hydrolase activity at the same time. Unlike UCH-L1, neither dimerization nor ligase activity have been observed for UCH-L3. It has been shown that levels of Nedd8 and the apoptotic protein p53 and Bax are elevated in UCH-L3 knockout mice upon cryptorchid injury, possibly contributing to profound germ cell loss via apoptosis.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ÝY¢€0€0€ €‚xcd09617, Peptidase_C12_UCH37_BAP1, Cysteine peptidase C12 containing ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase (UCH) families UCH37 (UCH-L5) and BAP1. This ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase (UCH) family includes UCH37 (also known as UCH-L5) and BRCA1-associated protein-1 (BAP1). They contain a UCH catalytic domain as well as an additional C-terminal extension which plays a role in protein-protein interactions. UCH37 is responsible for ubiquitin (Ub) isopeptidase activity in the 19S proteasome regulatory complex; it disassembles Lys48-linked poly-ubiquitin from the distal end of the chain. It is also associated with the human Ino80 chromatin-remodeling complex (hINO80) in the nucleus and can be activated through transient association of hINO80 with hRpn13 that is bound to the 19S regulatory particle or the proteasome. UCH37 possibly plays a role in oncogenesis; it competes with Smad ubiquitination regulatory factor 2 (Smurf2, ubiquitin ligase) in binding concurrently to Smad7 in order to deubiquitinate the activated type I transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) receptor, thus rescuing it from proteasomal degradation. BAP1 binds to the wild-type BRCA1 RING finger domain, localized in the nucleus. In addition to the UCH catalytic domain, BAP1 contains a UCH37-like domain (ULD), binding domains for BRCA1 and BARD1, which form a tumor suppressor heterodimeric complex, and a binding domain for HCFC1, which interacts with histone-modifying complexes during cell division. The full-length human BRCA1 is a ubiquitin ligase. However, BAP1 does not appear to function in the deubiquitination of autoubiquitinated BRCA1. BAP1 exhibits tumor suppressor activity in cancer cells, and gene mutations have been reported in a small number of breast and lung cancer samples. In metastasis of uveal melanoma, the most common primary cancer of the eye, inactivating somatic mutations have been identified in the gene encoding BAP1 on chromosome 3p21.1. These mutations include several that cause premature protein termination as well as affect its UCH domain, thus implicating loss of BAP1 and suggesting that the BAP1 pathway may be a valuable therapeutic target.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ÝZ¢€0€0€ €‚¡cd09618, CBM9_like_2, DOMON-like type 9 carbohydrate binding module.

It is found at the N-terminus of this family of enzymes, and belongs to the DOMON domain superfamily, a ligand-interacting motif found in all three kingdoms of life.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Ý(¢€0€0€ €‚ cd09631, DOMON_DOH, DOMON-like domain of copper-dependent monooxygenases and related proteins. This diverse family characterizes DOMON domains found in dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH), monooxygenase X (MOX), and various other proteins, some of which contain DOMON domains exclusively; the family is not restricted to eukaryotes. DBH is a membrane-bound enzyme that converts dopamine to L-norepinephrine, and plays a central role in the metabolism of catecholamine neurotransmitters. DOMON domains were initially thought to confer protein-protein interactions. They were subsequently found as a heme-binding motif in cellobiose dehydrogenase, an extracellular fungal oxidoreductase that degrades both lignin and cellulose, and in ethylbenzene dehydrogenase, an enzyme that aids in the anaerobic degradation of hydrocarbons. The domain interacts with sugars in the type 9 carbohydrate binding modules (CBM9), which are present in a variety of glycosyl hydrolases, and it can also be found at the N-terminus of sensor histidine kinases.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Ý)¢€0€0€ €‚„cd09632, PliI_like, Periplasmic lysozyme inhibitor, I-type (PliI) and similar proteins. Aeromonas hydrophila PliI is a dimeric periplasmic protein that enables bacteria to resist permeabilization of the outer membrane by the bactericidal action of lysozyme. PliI may be a direct inhibitor of lysozyme that inserts a conserved loop into the active site of type I (invertebrate) lysozymes.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ôF¢€0€0€ €‚7cd09633, Deltex_C, Domain found at the C-terminus of deltex-like. The deltex family of proteins is involved in the regulation of Notch signaling, and therefore may play roles in cell-to-cell communications that regulate mechanisms determining cell fate. They have a central RING-type zinc finger domain and contain a C-terminal domain, described here, that is also found in other domain architectures. Deltex-1 (DTX1) contains a RING finger and two WWE domains, indicating that it may be an E3 ubiquitin ligase. Human deltex 3-like, which contains an additional N-terminal domain (presumably with ubiquitin ligase activity) is also described as E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase DTX3L, B-lymphoma- and BAL-associated protein (BBAP), or rhysin-2. DTX3L mediates monoubiquitination of K91 of histone H4 in response to DNA damage.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ôG¢€0€0€ €‚cd09634, Cas1_I-II-III, CRISPR/Cas system-associated protein Cas1.

This subgroup includes a putative carbohydrate or polyalcohol metabolizing SDR (A3DFK9) from Clostridium thermocellum. Its members have a TGXXXGXG classical-SDR glycine-rich NAD-binding motif, and some have a canonical SDR active site tetrad (A3DFK9 lacks the upstream Asn). SDRs are a functionally diverse family of oxidoreductases that have a single domain with a structurally conserved Rossmann fold (alpha/beta folding pattern with a central beta-sheet), an NAD(P)(H)-binding region, and a structurally diverse C-terminal region. Classical SDRs are typically about 250 residues long, while extended SDRs are approximately 350 residues. Sequence identity between different SDR enzymes are typically in the 15-30% range, but the enzymes share the Rossmann fold NAD-binding motif and characteristic NAD-binding and catalytic sequence patterns. These enzymes catalyze a wide range of activities including the metabolism of steroids, cofactors, carbohydrates, lipids, aromatic compounds, and amino acids, and act in redox sensing. Classical SDRs have an TGXXX[AG]XG cofactor binding motif and a YXXXK active site motif, with the Tyr residue of the active site motif serving as a critical catalytic residue (Tyr-151, human 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) numbering). In addition to the Tyr and Lys, there is often an upstream Ser (Ser-138, 15-PGDH numbering) and/or an Asn (Asn-107, 15-PGDH numbering) contributing to the active site; while substrate binding is in the C-terminal region, which determines specificity. The standard reaction mechanism is a 4-pro-S hydride transfer and proton relay involving the conserved Tyr and Lys, a water molecule stabilized by Asn, and nicotinamide. Extended SDRs have additional elements in the C-terminal region, and typically have a TGXXGXXG cofactor binding motif. Complex (multidomain) SDRs such as ketoreductase domains of fatty acid synthase have a GGXGXXG NAD(P)-binding motif and an altered active site motif (YXXXN).

The Luminal domain is a dimerization domain present in eukaryotic translation Initiation Factor 2-Alpha Kinase 3 (EIF2AK3), also called PKR-like Endoplasmic Reticulum Kinase (PERK). EIF2AK3 is a serine/threonine protein kinase (STK) and a type I transmembrane protein that is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). As a EIF2AK, it phosphorylates the alpha subunit of eIF-2, resulting in the downregulation of protein synthesis. eIF-2 phosphorylation is induced in response to cellular stresses including virus infection, heat shock, nutrient deficiency, and the accummulation of unfolded proteins, among others. There are four distinct kinases that phosphorylate eIF-2 and control protein synthesis: General Control Non-derepressible-2 (GCN2), protein kinase regulated by RNA (PKR), heme-regulated inhibitor kinase (HRI), and PERK. PERK contains a luminal domain bound with the chaperone BiP under unstressed conditions and a cytoplasmic catalytic kinase domain. In response to the accumulation of misfolded or unfolded proteins in the ER, PERK is activated through the release of BiP, allowing it to dimerize through its luminal domain and autophosphorylate. It functions as the central regulator of translational control during the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) pathway. In addition to the eIF-2 alpha subunit, PERK also phosphorylates Nrf2, a leucine zipper transcription factor which regulates cellular redox status and promotes cell survival during the UPR.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €áÊ¢€0€0€ €‚Úcd09769, Luminal_IRE1, The Luminal domain, a dimerization domain, of the Serine/Threonine protein kinase, Inositol-requiring protein 1. The Luminal domain is a dimerization domain present in Inositol-requiring protein 1 (IRE1), a serine/threonine protein kinase (STK) and a type I transmembrane protein that is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). IRE1, also called Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-to-nucleus signaling protein (or ERN), is a kinase receptor that also contains an endoribonuclease domain in the cytoplasmic side. It plays roles in the signaling of the unfolded protein response (UPR), which is activated when protein misfolding is detected in the ER in order to decrease the synthesis of new proteins and increase the capacity of the ER to cope with the stress. IRE1 acts as an ER stress sensor and is the oldest and most conserved component of the UPR in eukaryotes. During ER stress, IRE1 dimerizes through its luminal domain and forms oligomers, allowing the kinase domain to undergo trans-autophosphorylation. This leads to a conformational change that stimulates its endoribonuclease activity and results in the cleavage of its mRNA substrate, HAC1 in yeast and Xbp1 in metazoans, promoting a splicing event that enables translation into a transcription factor which activates the UPR. Mammals contain two IRE1 proteins, IRE1alpha (or ERN1) and IRE1beta (or ERN2). IRE1alpha is expressed in all cells and tissues while IRE1beta is found only in intestinal epithelial cells.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €áË¢€0€0€ €‚fcd09803, UBAN, polyubiquitin binding domain of NEMO and related proteins. NEMO (NF-kappaB essential modulator) is a regulatory subunit of the kinase complex IKK, which is involved in the activation of NF-kappaB via phosporylation of inhibitory IkappaBs. This mechanism requires the binding of NEMO to ubiquinated substrates. Binding is achieved via the UBAN motif (ubiquitin binding in ABIN and NEMO), which is described in this model. This region of NEMO has also been named CoZi (for coiled-coil 2 and leucine zipper). ABINs (A20-binding inhibitors of NF-kappaB) are sensors for ubiquitin that are involved in regulation of apoptosis, ABIN-1 is presumed to inhibit signalling via the NF-kappaB route. The UBAN motif is also found in optineurin, the product of a gene associated with glaucoma, which has been characterized as a negative regulator of NF-kappaB as well.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ñ¢€0€0€ €‚äcd09804, Dcp1, mRNA decapping enzyme 1 (Dcp1). mRNA decapping enzyme 1 (Dcp1), together with Dcp2, is part of the decapping complex which catalyzes the removal of the 5' cap structure of mRNA.

In addition to the Rossmann fold (alpha/beta folding pattern with a central beta-sheet) core region typical of all SDRs, extended SDRs have a less conserved C-terminal extension of approximately 100 amino acids. Extended SDRs are a diverse collection of proteins, and include isomerases, epimerases, oxidoreductases, and lyases; they typically have a TGXXGXXG cofactor binding motif. SDRs are a functionally diverse family of oxidoreductases that have a single domain with a structurally conserved Rossmann fold, an NAD(P)(H)-binding region, and a structurally diverse C-terminal region. Sequence identity between different SDR enzymes is typically in the 15-30% range; they catalyze a wide range of activities including the metabolism of steroids, cofactors, carbohydrates, lipids, aromatic compounds, and amino acids, and act in redox sensing. Classical SDRs have an TGXXX[AG]XG cofactor binding motif and a YXXXK active site motif, with the Tyr residue of the active site motif serving as a critical catalytic residue (Tyr-151, human 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase numbering). In addition to the Tyr and Lys, there is often an upstream Ser and/or an Asn, contributing to the active site; while substrate binding is in the C-terminal region, which determines specificity. The standard reaction mechanism is a 4-pro-S hydride transfer and proton relay involving the conserved Tyr and Lys, a water molecule stabilized by Asn, and nicotinamide. Atypical SDRs generally lack the catalytic residues characteristic of the SDRs, and their glycine-rich NAD(P)-binding motif is often different from the forms normally seen in classical or extended SDRs. Complex (multidomain) SDRs such as ketoreductase domains of fatty acid sythase have a GGXGXXG NAD(P)-binding motif and an altered active site motif (YXXXN).

This family uses S-AdoMet (S-adenosyl-L-methionine or SAM) in the methylation of diverse substrates. Most members catalyze various methylation steps in cobalamin (vitamin B12) biosynthesis. There are two distinct cobalamin biosynthetic pathways in bacteria. The aerobic pathway requires oxygen, and cobalt is inserted late in the pathway; the anaerobic pathway does not require oxygen, and cobalt insertion is the first committed step towards cobalamin synthesis. The enzymes involved in the aerobic pathway are prefixed Cob and those of the anaerobic pathway Cbi. Most of the enzymes are shared by both pathways and a few enzymes are pathway-specific. Diphthine synthase and Ribosomal RNA small subunit methyltransferase I (RsmI) are two superfamily members that are not involved in cobalamin biosynthesis. Diphthine synthase participates in the posttranslational modification of a specific histidine residue in elongation factor 2 (EF-2) of eukaryotes and archaea to diphthamide. RsmI catalyzes the 2-O-methylation of the ribose of cytidine 1402 (C1402) in 16S rRNA using S-adenosylmethionine (Ado-Met) as the methyl donor.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €>¢€0€0€ €‚ªcd09816, prostaglandin_endoperoxide_synthase, Animal prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase and related bacterial proteins. Animal prostaglandin endoperoxide synthases, including prostaglandin H2 synthase and a set of similar bacterial proteins which may function as cyclooxygenases. Prostaglandin H2 synthase catalyzes the synthesis of prostaglandin H2 from arachidonic acid. In two reaction steps, arachidonic acid is converted to Prostaglandin G2, a peroxide (cyclooxygenase activity) and subsequently converted to the end product via the enzyme's peroxidase activity. Prostaglandin H2 synthase is the target of aspirin and other non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen, which block the substrate's access to the active site and may acetylate a conserved serine residue. In humans and other mammals, prostaglandin H2 synthase (PGHS), also called cyclooxygenase (COX) is present as at least two isozymes, PGHS-1 (or COX-1) and PGHS-2 (or COX-2), respectively. PGHS-1 is expressed constitutively in most mammalian cells, while the expression of PGHS-2 is induced via inflammation response in endothelial cells, activated macrophages, and others.

Thus, proteins of this family may be the recombinant product of genes coding Testin and FHL proteins. SmLIMPETin is down regulated in sexually mature adult Schistosoma females compared to sexually immature adult females and adult males. Its differential expression indicates that it is a transcription regulator. In C. elegans, LIM-9 binds to UNC-97 and UNC-96, components of sarcomeric muscle M-lines. LIM-9 also forms a complex with SCPL-1 and UNC-89, whose function is to organize sarcomeric A-bands, especially the M-line of muscle.

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). While related in sequence to peptidase M28 glutamate carboxypeptidase II (also called prostate-specific membrane antigen or PSMA), TfR lacks the metal ion coordination centers and protease activity of that group.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ô$¢€0€0€ €‚9cd09849, M20_Acy1L2_like_2, M20 Peptidase Aminoacylase 1-like protein 2, amidohydrolase family. Peptidase M20 family, Aminoacylase 1-like protein 2 (ACY1L2; amidohydrolase)-like subfamily. This group contains many uncharacterized proteins predicted as amidohydrolases, including gene products of abgA and abgB that catalyze the cleavage of p-aminobenzoyl-glutamate, a folate catabolite in Escherichia coli , to p-aminobenzoate and glutamate. p-Aminobenzoyl-glutamate utilization is catalyzed by the abg region gene product, AbgT. Aminoacylase 1 (ACY1) proteins are a class of zinc binding homodimeric enzymes involved in hydrolysis of N-acetylated proteins. N-terminal acetylation of proteins is a widespread and highly conserved process that is involved in the protection and stability of proteins. Several types of aminoacylases can be distinguished on the basis of substrate specificity. ACY1 breaks down cytosolic aliphatic N-acyl-alpha-amino acids (except L-aspartate), especially N-acetyl-methionine and acetyl-glutamate into L-amino acids and an acyl group. However, ACY1 can also catalyze the reverse reaction, the synthesis of acetylated amino acids. ACY1 may also play a role in xenobiotic bioactivation as well as the inter-organ processing of amino acid-conjugated xenobiotic derivatives (S-substituted-N-acetyl-L-cysteine).¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ô%¢€0€0€ €‚Öcd09850, Ebola-like_HR1-HR2, heptad repeat 1-heptad repeat 2 region of the transmembrane subunit of Filoviridae viruses, Ebola virus and Marburg virus, and related domains. This domain subfamily spans both heptad repeats of the glycoprotein (gp)/transmembrane subunit of various endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) and infectious retroviruses, including Ebola virus gp2, Marburg virus gp, and the envelope proteins of various ERVs, including human HERV-R_c7q21.2 (ERV-3). This domain includes an N-terminal heptad repeat, a CKS17-like immunosuppressive region, a CX6C motif that forms an intrasubunit disulfide bond, and a C-terminal heptad repeat. N-terminal to HR1-HR2 region is a fusion peptide (FP), and C-terminal, is a membrane-spanning region (MSR). Viral infection involves the formation of a trimer-of-hairpins structure (three HR1s helices, buttressed by three HR2 helices lying in antiparallel orientation). In this structure, the FP (inserted in the host cell membrane) and MSR (inserted in the viral membrane) are in close proximity. ERVs are likely to originate from ancient germ-line infections by active retroviruses. Some ERVs play specific roles in the host. However, it is unclear whether ERV-3 has a critical biological role: it is expressed in the placenta, but is not fusogenic, has an immunosuppressive domain, but lacks a fusion peptide. Filoviridae, the family of viruses including Ebola and Marburg, may have acquired this domain via horizontal transfer from retroviruses.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €÷¢€0€0€ €‚ cd09851, HTLV-1-like_HR1-HR2, heptad repeat 1-heptad repeat 2 region (ectodomain) of the transmembrane subunit of human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1), and related domains. This domain subfamily spans both heptad repeats of the glycoprotein (gp)/transmembrane(TM) subunit of various endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) and infectious retroviruses, including HTLV-1, HTLV -2, primate Mason-Pfizer monkey virus, Moloney murine leukemia virus, simian T-cell lymphotropic virus, feline leukemia virus (FeLV), bovine leukemia virus, and various human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs), including, HERV-H1_c2q24.3, HERV-H2_3q26, HERV-F(c)1_cXq21.33, HERV-T_19q13.11, Syncytin-1 (HERV-W_c7q21.2/ ERVWE1), Syncytin-2 (HERV-FRD_6p24.1), and related domains. This domain includes an N-terminal heptad repeat, a CKS17-like immunosuppressive region, a CX6C motif that forms an intrasubunit disulfide bond, and a C-terminal heptad repeat. N-terminal to HR1-HR2 region is a fusion peptide (FP), and C-terminal, is a membrane-spanning region (MSR). Viral infection involves the formation of a trimer-of-hairpins structure (three HR1s helices, buttressed by three HR2 helices lying in antiparallel orientation). In this structure, the FP (inserted in the host cell membrane) and MSR (inserted in the viral membrane) are in close proximity. ERVs are likely to originate from ancient germ-line infections by active retroviruses. Some modern ERVs, those that integrated into the host genome post-speciation, have a currently active exogenous counterpart, such as FeLV. Some ERVs play specific roles in the host, including placental development, protection of the host from infection by related pathogenic and exogenous retroviruses, and genome plasticity. Syncytin-1 and Syncytin-2 are expressed in the placenta, and are fusogenic, although they have a different cell specificity for fusion. Syncytin-2, but not Syncytin-1, is immunosuppressive; its immunosuppressive domain may protect the fetus from the mother's immune system. Syncytin-1 may participate in the formation of the placental trophoblast; it is also implicated in cell fusions between cancer and host cells and between cancer cell, and in human osteclast fusion. This subfamily also contains a mouse envelope protein encoded by the Fv-4 env gene, that blocks infection by exogenous MuLV.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ø¢€0€0€ €‚ gcd09852, PIN_SF, PIN (PilT N terminus) domain: Superfamily. PIN_SF The PIN (PilT N terminus) domain belongs to a large nuclease superfamily with representatives from eukaryota, eubacteria, and archaea. PIN domains were originally named for their sequence similarity to the N-terminal domain of an annotated pili biogenesis protein, PilT, a domain fusion between a PIN-domain and a PilT ATPase domain. The structural properties of the PIN domain indicate its putative active center, consisting of invariant acidic amino acid residues (putative metal-binding residues) is geometrically similar in the active center of structure-specific 5' nucleases (also known as Flap endonuclease-1-like), PIN-domain ribonucleases of eukaryotic rRNA editing proteins, and bacterial toxins of toxin-antitoxin (TA) operons. Seen here, are two major divisions in the PIN domain superfamily. The first major division, the structure-specific 5' nuclease family, is represented by FEN1, the 5'-3' exonuclease of DNA polymerase I, and T4 RNase H nuclease PIN domains. These 5' nucleases are involved in DNA replication, repair, and recombination. They are capable of both 5'-3' exonucleolytic activity and cleaving bifurcated DNA, in an endonucleolytic, structure-specific manner. Unique to FEN1-like nucleases, the PIN domain has a helical arch/clamp region (I domain) of variable length (approximately 16 to 800 residues) and, inserted within the C-terminal region of the PIN domain, a H3TH (helix-3-turn-helix) domain, an atypical helix-hairpin-helix-2-like region. Both the H3TH domain (not included here) and the helical arch/clamp region are involved in DNA binding. With the exception of Mkt1, these nucleases have a carboxylate rich active site that is involved in binding essential divalent metal ion cofactors (Mg2+, Mn2+, Zn2+, or Co2+). The second major division of the PIN domain superfamily, the VapC-Smg6 family, includes such eukaryotic ribonucleases as, Smg6, an essential factor in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay; Rrp44, the catalytic subunit of the exosome; and Nob1, a ribosome assembly factor critical in pre-rRNA processing. A large percentage of members in this family are bacterial ribonuclease toxins of TA operons such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis VapC and Neisseria gonorrhoeae FitB, as well as, archaeal homologs, Pyrobaculum aerophilum Pea0151 and P. aerophilum Pae2754.

EXO1 functions in the MMS2 error-free branch of the PRR pathway in the maintenance and repair of stalled replication forks. Studies also suggest that EXO1 plays both structural and catalytic roles during MMR-mediated mutation avoidance. EXO1 belongs to the FEN1-EXO1-like family of structure-specific, 5' nucleases. These nucleases contain a PIN (PilT N terminus) domain with a helical arch/clamp region (I domain) of variable length (approximately 43 residues in EXO1 PIN domains) and a H3TH (helix-3-turn-helix) domain, an atypical helix-hairpin-helix-2-like region.

Taq contains a polymerase domain for synthesizing a new DNA strand and a 53EXO PIN domain for cleaving RNA primers or damaged DNA strands. Taq's 53EXO PIN domain recognizes and endonucleolytically cleaves a structure-specific DNA substrate that has a bifurcated downstream duplex and an upstream template-primer duplex that overlaps the downstream duplex by 1 bp.

T5-5'nuclease is a 5'-3'exodeoxyribonuclease that also exhibits endonucleolytic activity on flap structures (branched duplex DNA containing a free single-stranded 5'end). T4 RNase H, which removes the RNA primers that initiate lagging strand fragments, has 5'- 3'exonuclease activity on DNA/DNA and RNA/DNA duplexes and has endonuclease activity on flap or forked DNA structures. Bacteriophage T3 is believed to function in the removal of DNA-linked RNA primers and is essential for phage DNA replication and also necessary for host DNA degradation and phage genetic recombination. These nucleases are members of the structure-specific, 5' nuclease family that catalyzes hydrolysis of DNA duplex-containing nucleic acid structures during DNA replication, repair, and recombination.

Both the H3TH domain (not included here) and the helical arch/clamp region are involved in DNA/RNA binding. The active site includes a set of conserved acidic residues that are essential for binding divalent metal ions required for nuclease activity. In the T5-5'nuclease, structure-specific endonuclease activity requires binding of a single metal ion in the high-affinity, metal binding site 1, whereas exonuclease activity requires both, the high-affinity, metal binding site 1 and the low-affinity, metal binding site 2 to be occupied by a divalent cofactor.

Also included in this family are the uncharacterized Mycobacterium bovis UPF0110 and Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 Sll0205 proteins, as well as, the archaeal Pyrobaculum aerophilum PAE0151 protein. PIN domain-containing toxins, such as, VapC, are nearly always co-expressed with an antitoxin, a cognate protein inhibitor (VapB) forming an inert protein complex. Disassociation of the protein complex activates the ribonuclease activity of the toxin by an, as yet undefined mechanism. VapC-like PIN domains are structural homologs of flap endonuclease-1 (FEN1)-like PIN domains, but lack the extensive arch/clamp region and the H3TH (helix-3-turn-helix) domain, an atypical helix-hairpin-helix-2-like region, seen in FEN1-like PIN domains. PIN domains within this group typically contain three or four highly conserved acidic residues that cluster at the C-terminal end of the beta-sheet and form a negatively charged pocket near the center of the molecule. These putative active site residues are thought to bind Mg2+ and/or Mn2+ ions and are essential for single-stranded ribonuclease activity.

The eukaryotic exosome is a conserved macromolecular complex responsible for many RNA-processing and RNA-degradation reactions. It is composed of nine core subunits that directly binds Rrp44. The Rrp44 nuclease is the catalytic subunit of the exosome and has endonuclease activity in the PIN domain and an exoribonuclease activity in its RNase II-like region. Rrp44 binding to the exosome is mediated mainly by the PIN domain and by subunits Rrp41-Rrp45, and binding predictions indicate that the PIN domain active site is positioned on the outer surface of the exosome.

In contrast, RfaH is a non-essential protein that controls expression of operons containing an ops (operon polarity suppressor) element in their transcribed DNA. RfaH and NusG are different in their response to Rho-dependent terminators and regulatory targets. The NusG N-terminal (NGN) domain is quite similar in all NusG orthologs, but its C-terminal domains and the linker that separate these two domains are different.

This domain belongs to a larger superfamily containing the HR1-HR2 domain of ERVs and infectious retroviruses, including Ebola virus, and Rous sarcoma virus. Proteins in this family lack the canonical CSK17-like immunosuppressive sequence, and the intrasubunit disulfide bond-forming CX6C motif found in linker region between HR1 and HR2 in the Ebola_RSV-like_HR1-HR2 family. N-terminal to the HR1-HR2 region is a fusion peptide (FP), and C-terminal is a membrane-spanning region (MSR). Viral infection involves the formation of a trimer-of-hairpins structure (three HR1 helices, buttressed by three HR2 helices lying in antiparallel orientation). In this structure, the FP (inserted in the host cell membrane) and MSR (inserted in the viral membrane) are in close proximity. ERVs are likely to originate from ancient germ-line infections by active retroviruses. Some modern ERVs, those that integrated into the host genome post-speciation, have a currently active exogenous counterpart, such as JSRV. Some ERVs play specific roles in the host, including placental development, protection of the host from infection by related pathogenic and exogenous retroviruses, and genome plasticity. Included in this subgroup are ERVs from domestic sheep that are related to JSRV, the agent of transmissible lung cancer in sheep, for example enJSRV-26 that retains an intact genome. These endogenous JSRVs protect the sheep against JSRV infection and are required for sheep placental development.

Orthologs of NusG gene exist in bacteria, but their functions and requirements are diverse. The function of DII is as yet unknown, and belongs to Domains of Unknown Function 1312 (DUF1312).¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ô¢€0€0€ €‚%cd09911, Lin0431_like, Listerrria innocua Lin0431 is similar to the N-Utilization Substance G (NusG) N terminal (NGN) insert (DII). This family contains domains homologous to Listeria innocua Lin0431, a protein that is similar to the N-Utilization Substance G (NusG) N terminal (NGN) insert (domain II, DII). Lin0431 and Aquifex aeolicus NusG DII (AaeNusG DII ) have similar structure and similar basic charged surface distributions that may bind negatively charged nucleic acids and/or another anionic binding partner, suggesting a possible role in transcription/translation regulating functions. Despite these two domains having low sequence similarity, the NusG DII and DUF1312 domain families may have diverged from common evolutionary ancestral proteins, and may have similar biochemical functions.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €õ¢€0€0€ €‚0cd09912, DLP_2, Dynamin-like protein including dynamins, mitofusins, and guanylate-binding proteins. The dynamin family of large mechanochemical GTPases includes the classical dynamins and dynamin-like proteins (DLPs) that are found throughout the Eukarya. This family also includes bacterial DLPs. These proteins catalyze membrane fission during clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Dynamin consists of five domains; an N-terminal G domain that binds and hydrolyzes GTP, a middle domain (MD) involved in self-assembly and oligomerization, a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain responsible for interactions with the plasma membrane, GED, which is also involved in self-assembly, and a proline arginine rich domain (PRD) that interacts with SH3 domains on accessory proteins. To date, three vertebrate dynamin genes have been identified; dynamin 1, which is brain specific, mediates uptake of synaptic vesicles in presynaptic terminals; dynamin-2 is expressed ubiquitously and similarly participates in membrane fission; mutations in the MD, PH and GED domains of dynamin 2 have been linked to human diseases such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth peripheral neuropathy and rare forms of centronuclear myopathy. Dynamin 3 participates in megakaryocyte progenitor amplification, and is also involved in cytoplasmic enlargement and the formation of the demarcation membrane system. This family also includes mitofusins (MFN1 and MFN2 in mammals) that are involved in mitochondrial fusion. Dynamin oligomerizes into helical structures around the neck of budding vesicles in a GTP hydrolysis-dependent manner.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'“¢€0€0€ €‚-cd09913, EHD, Eps15 homology domain (EHD), C-terminal domain. Dynamin-like C-terminal Eps15 homology domain (EHD) proteins regulate endocytic events; they have been linked to a number of Rab proteins through their association with mutual effectors, suggesting a coordinate role in endocytic regulation. Eukaryotic EHDs comprise four members (EHD1-4) in mammals and single members in Caenorhabditis elegans (Rme-1), Drosophila melanogaster (Past1) as well as several eukaryotic parasites. EHD1 regulates trafficking of multiple receptors from the endocytic recycling compartment (ERC) to the plasma membrane; EHD2 regulates trafficking from the plasma membrane by controlling Rac1 activity; EHD3 regulates endosome-to-Golgi transport, and preserves Golgi morphology; EHD4 is involved in the control of trafficking at the early endosome and regulates exit of cargo toward the recycling compartment as well as late endocytic pathway. Rme-1, an ortholog of human EHD1, controls the recycling of internalized receptors from the endocytic recycling compartment to the plasma membrane. In D. melanogaster, deletion of the Past1 gene leads to infertility as well as premature death of adult flies. Arabidopsis thaliana also has homologs of EHD proteins (AtEHD1 and AtEHD2), possibly involved in regulating endocytosis and signaling.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'”¢€0€0€ €‚cd09914, RocCOR, Ras of complex proteins (Roc) C-terminal of Roc (COR) domain family. RocCOR (or Roco) protein family is characterized by a superdomain containing a Ras-like GTPase domain, called Roc (Ras of complex proteins), and a characteristic second domain called COR (C-terminal of Roc). A kinase domain and diverse regulatory domains are also often found in Roco proteins. Their functions are diverse; in Dictyostelium discoideum, which encodes 11 Roco proteins, they are involved in cell division, chemotaxis and development, while in human, where 4 Roco proteins (LRRK1, LRRK2, DAPK1, and MFHAS1) are encoded, these proteins are involved in epilepsy and cancer. Mutations in LRRK2 (leucine-rich repeat kinase 2) are known to cause familial Parkinson's disease.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'•¢€0€0€ €‚cd09915, Rag, Rag GTPase subfamily of Ras-related GTPases. Rag GTPases (ras-related GTP-binding proteins) constitute a unique subgroup of the Ras superfamily, playing an essential role in regulating amino acid-induced target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) kinase signaling, exocytic cargo sorting at endosomes, and epigenetic control of gene expression. This subfamily consists of RagA and RagB as well as RagC and RagD that are closely related. Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes single orthologs of metazoan RagA/B and RagC/D, Gtr1 and Gtr2, respectively. Dimer formation is important for their cellular function; these domains form heterodimers, as RagA or RagB dimerizes with RagC or RagD, and similarly, Gtr1 dimerizes with Gtr2. In response to amino acids, the Rag GTPases guide the TORC1 complex to activate the platform containing Rheb proto-oncogene by driving the relocalization of mTORC1 from discrete locations in the cytoplasm to a late endosomal and/or lysosomal compartment that is Rheb-enriched and contains Rab-7.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'–¢€0€0€ €‚ªcd09916, CpxP_like, CpxP component of the bacterial Cpx-two-component system and related proteins. This family summarizes bacterial proteins related to CpxP, a periplasmic protein that forms part of a two-component system which acts as a global modulator of cell-envelope stress in gram-negative bacteria. CpxP aids in combating extracytoplasmic protein-mediated toxicity, and may also be involved in the response to alkaline pH. Functioning as a dimer, it inhibits activation of the kinase CpxA, but also plays a vital role in the quality control system of P pili. It has been suggested that CpxP directly interacts with CpxA via its concave polar surface. Another member of this family, Spy, is also a periplasmic protein that may be involved in the response to stress. The homology between CpxP and Spy suggests similar functions. A characteristic 5-residue sequence motif LTXXQ is found repeated twice in many members of this family.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ö¢€0€0€ €‚ócd09918, SH2_Nterm_SPT6_like, N-terminal Src homology 2 (SH2) domain found in Spt6. N-terminal SH2 domain in Spt6. Spt6 is an essential transcription elongation factor and histone chaperone that binds the C-terminal repeat domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II. Spt6 contains a tandem SH2 domain with a novel structure and CTD-binding mode. The tandem SH2 domain binds to a serine 2-phosphorylated CTD peptide in vitro, whereas its N-terminal SH2 subdomain does not. CTD binding requires a positively charged crevice in the C-terminal SH2 subdomain, which lacks the canonical phospho-binding pocket of SH2 domains. The tandem SH2 domain is apparently required for transcription elongation in vivo as its deletion in cells is lethal in the presence of 6-azauracil. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¢€0€0€ €‚acd09919, SH2_STAT_family, Src homology 2 (SH2) domain found in signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) family. STAT proteins mediate the signaling of cytokines and a number of growth factors from the receptors of these extracellular signaling molecules to the cell nucleus. STATs are specifically phosphorylated by receptor-associated Janus kinases, receptor tyrosine kinases, or cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases. The phosphorylated STAT molecules dimerize by reciprocal binding of their SH2 domains to the phosphotyrosine residues. These dimeric STATs translocate into the nucleus, bind to specific DNA sequences, and regulate the transcription of their target genes. However there are a number of unphosphorylated STATs that travel between the cytoplasm and nucleus and some STATs that exist as dimers in unstimulated cells that can exert biological functions independent of being activated by a receptor. There are seven mammalian STAT family members which have been identified: STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5 (STAT5A and STAT5B), and STAT6. There are 6 conserved domains in STAT: N-terminal domain (NTD), coiled-coil domain (CCD), DNA-binding domain (DBD), alpha-helical linker domain (LD), SH2 domain, and transactivation domain (TAD). NTD is involved in dimerization of unphosphorylated STATs monomers and for the tetramerization between STAT1, STAT3, STAT4 and STAT5 on promoters with two or more tandem STAT binding sites. It also plays a role in promoting interactions with transcriptional co-activators such as CREB binding protein (CBP)/p300, as well as being important for nuclear import and deactivation of STATs involving tyrosine de-phosphorylation. The CCD interacts with other proteins, such as IFN regulatory protein 9 (IRF-9/p48) with STAT1 and c-JUN with STAT3 and is also thought to participate in the negative regulation of these proteins. Distinct genes are bound to STATs via their DBD domain. This domain is also involved in nuclear translocation of activated STAT1 and STAT3 phosphorylated dimers upon cytokine stimulation. LD links the DNA-binding and SH2 domains and is important for the transcriptional activation of STAT1 in response to IFN-gamma. It also plays a role in protein-protein interactions and has also been implicated in the constitutive nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of unphosphorylated STATs in resting cells. The SH2 domain is necessary for receptor association and tyrosine phosphodimer formation. Residues within this domain may be particularly important for some cellular functions mediated by the STATs as well as residues adjacent to this domain. The TAD interacts with several proteins, namely minichromosome maintenance complex component 5 (MCM5), breast cancer 1 (BRCA1) and CBP/p300. TAD also contains a modulatory phosphorylation site that regulates STAT activity and is necessary for maximal transcription of a number of target genes. The conserved tyrosine residue present in the C-terminus is crucial for dimerization via interaction with the SH2 domain upon the interaction of the ligand with the receptor. STAT activation by tyrosine phosphorylation also determines nuclear import and retention, DNA binding to specific DNA elements in the promoters of responsive genes, and transcriptional activation of STAT dimers. In addition to the SH2 domain there is a coiled-coil domain, a DNA binding domain, and a transactivation domain in the STAT proteins. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¢€0€0€ €‚3cd09920, SH2_Cbl-b_TKB, Src homology 2 (SH2) domain found in the Cbl-b TKB domain. SH2 found in the Cbl-b TKB domain. The Cbl (for Casitas B-lineage lymphoma) family of E3 ubiquitin ligases contains three members Cbl, Cbl-b and Cbl-c. The founding member Cbl was discovered first as the oncogenic protein v-Cbl, a Gag-fusion transforming protein of Cas NS-1 retrovirus, which causes pre- and pro-B lymphomas in mice. The N-terminus of the Cbl proteins is composed of a tyrosine kinase-binding (TKB) domain, also called phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) domain, a short linker region and the RING-type zinc finger. In addition, Cbl and Cbl-b contain a leucine zipper motif and a proline-rich domain in the C-terminus. The TKB domain consists of a four-helix bundle (4H), a calcium-binding EF hand and a divergent SH2 domain. Cbl-b plays a role in early hematopoietic development and is a negative regulator of T-cell receptor, B-cell receptor and high affinity immunoglobulin epsilon receptor signal transduction pathways. It also negatively regulates insulin-like growth factor 1 signaling during muscle atrophy caused by unloading and is involved in EGFR ubiquitination and internalization. Diseases associated with defects in Cbl-b include: multiple sclerosis, autoimmune diseases, including type 1 diabetes, and a craniofacial phenotype. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € ¢€0€0€ €‚`cd09921, SH2_Jak_family, Src homology 2 (SH2) domain in the Janus kinase (Jak) family. The Janus kinases (Jak) are a family of 4 non-receptor tyrosine kinases (Jak1, Jak2, Jak3, Tyk2) which respond to cytokine or growth factor receptor activation. To transduce cytokine signaling, a series of conformational changes occur in the receptor-Jak complex upon extracellular ligand binding. This results in trans-activation of the receptor-associated Jaks followed by phosphorylation of receptor tail tyrosine sites. The Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription (STAT) are then recruited to the receptor tail, become phosphorylated and translocate to the nucleus to regulate transcription. Jaks have four domains: the pseudokinase domain, the catalytic tyrosine kinase domain, the FERM (band four-point-one, ezrin, radixin, and moesin) domain, and the SH2 (Src Homology-2) domain. The Jak kinases are regulated by several enzymatic and non-enzymatic mechanisms. First, the Jak kinase domain is regulated by phosphorylation of the activation loop which is associated with the catalytically competent kinase conformation and is distinct from the inactive kinase conformation. Second, the pseudokinase domain directly modulates Jak catalytic activity with the FERM domain maintaining an active state. Third, the suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family and tyrosine phosphatases directly regulate Jak activity. Dysregulation of Jak activity can manifest as either a reduction or an increase in kinase activity resulting in immunodeficiency, inflammatory diseases, hematological defects, autoimmune and myeloproliferative disorders, and susceptibility to infection. Altered Jak regulation occurs by many mechanisms, including: gene translocations, somatic or inherited point mutations, receptor mutations, and alterations in the activity of Jak regulators such as SOCS or phosphatases. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €!¢€0€0€ €‚Äcd09923, SH2_SOCS_family, Src homology 2 (SH2) domain found in suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family. SH2 domain found in SOCS proteins. SOCS was first recognized as a group of cytokine-inducible SH2 (CIS) domain proteins comprising eight family members in human (CIS and SOCS1-SOCS7). In addition to the SH2 domain, SOCS proteins have a variable N-terminal domain and a conserved SOCS box in the C-terminal domain. SOCS proteins bind to a substrate via their SH2 domain. The prototypical members, CIS and SOCS1-SOCS3, have been shown to regulate growth hormone signaling in vitro and in a classic negative feedback response compete for binding at phosphotyrosine sites in JAK kinase and receptor pathways to displace effector proteins and target bound receptors for proteasomal degradation. Loss of SOCS activity results in excessive cytokine signaling associated with a variety of hematopoietic, autoimmune, and inflammatory diseases and certain cancers. Members (SOCS4-SOCS7) were identified by their conserved SOCS box, an adapter motif of 3 helices that associates substrate binding domains, such as the SOCS SH2 domain, ankryin, and WD40 with ubiquitin ligase components. These show limited cytokine induction. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €"¢€0€0€ €‚\cd09925, SH2_SHC, Src homology 2 (SH2) domain found in SH2 adaptor protein C (SHC). SHC is involved in a wide variety of pathways including regulating proliferation, angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis, and bone metabolism. An adapter protein, SHC has been implicated in Ras activation following the stimulation of a number of different receptors, including growth factors [insulin, epidermal growth factor (EGF), nerve growth factor, and platelet derived growth factor (PDGF)], cytokines [interleukins 2, 3, and 5], erythropoietin, and granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor, and antigens [T-cell and B-cell receptors]. SHC has been shown to bind to tyrosine-phosphorylated receptors, and receptor stimulation leads to tyrosine phosphorylation of SHC. Upon phosphorylation, SHC interacts with another adapter protein, Grb2, which binds to the Ras GTP/GDP exchange factor mSOS which leads to Ras activation. SHC is composed of an N-terminal domain that interacts with proteins containing phosphorylated tyrosines, a (glycine/proline)-rich collagen-homology domain that contains the phosphorylated binding site, and a C-terminal SH2 domain. SH2 has been shown to interact with the tyrosine-phosphorylated receptors of EGF and PDGF and with the tyrosine-phosphorylated C chain of the T-cell receptor, providing one of the mechanisms of T-cell-mediated Ras activation. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €#¢€0€0€ €‚icd09926, SH2_CRK_like, Src homology 2 domain found in cancer-related signaling adaptor protein CRK. SH2 domain in the CRK proteins. CRKI (SH2-SH3) and CRKII (SH2-SH3-SH3) are splicing isoforms of the oncoprotein CRK. CRKs regulate transcription and cytoskeletal reorganization for cell growth and motility by linking tyrosine kinases to small G proteins. The SH2 domain of CRK associates with tyrosine-phosphorylated receptors or components of focal adhesions, such as p130Cas and paxillin. CRK transmits signals to small G proteins through effectors that bind its SH3 domain, such as C3G, the guanine-nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for Rap1 and R-Ras, and DOCK180, the GEF for Rac6. The binding of p130Cas to the CRK-C3G complex activates Rap1, leading to regulation of cell adhesion, and activates R-Ras, leading to JNK-mediated activation of cell proliferation, whereas the binding of CRK DOCK180 induces Rac1-mediated activation of cellular migration. The activity of the different splicing isoforms varies greatly with CRKI displaying substantial transforming activity, CRKII less so, and phosphorylated CRKII with no biological activity whatsoever. CRKII has a linker region with a phosphorylated Tyr and an additional C-terminal SH3 domain. The phosphorylated Tyr creates a binding site for its SH2 domain which disrupts the association between CRK and its SH2 target proteins. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €$¢€0€0€ €‚¸cd09927, SH2_Tensin_like, Src homology 2 domain found in Tensin-like proteins. SH2 domain found in Tensin-like proteins. The Tensins are a family of intracellular proteins that interact with receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), integrins, and actin. They are thought act as signaling bridges between the extracellular space and the cytoskeleton. There are four homologues: Tensin1, Tensin2 (TENC1, C1-TEN), Tensin3 and Tensin4 (cten), all of which contain a C-terminal tandem SH2-PTB domain pairing, as well as actin-binding regions that may localize them to focal adhesions. The isoforms of Tensin2 and Tensin3 contain N-terminal C1 domains, which are atypical and not expected to bind to phorbol esters. Tensins 1-3 contain a phosphatase (PTPase) and C2 domain pairing which resembles PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10) protein. PTEN is a lipid phosphatase that dephosphorylates phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3) to yield phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2). As PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 is the product of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) activity, PTEN is therefore a key negative regulator of the PI3K pathway. Because of their PTEN-like domains, the Tensins may also possess phosphoinositide-binding or phosphatase capabilities. However, only Tensin2 and Tensin3 have the potential to be phosphatases since only their PTPase domains contain a cysteine residue that is essential for catalytic activity. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €%¢€0€0€ €‚Òcd09928, SH2_Cterm_SPT6_like, C-terminal Src homology 2 (SH2) domain found in Spt6.

BLNK (also known as SLP-65 or BASH) is an important adaptor protein expressed in B-lineage cells. BLNK consists of a N-terminal sterile alpha motif (SAM) domain and a C-terminal SH2 domain. BLNK is a cytoplasmic protein, but a part of it is bound to the plasma membrane through an N-terminal leucine zipper motif and transiently bound to a cytoplasmic domain of Iga through its C-terminal SH2 domain upon B cell antigen receptor (BCR)-stimulation. A non-ITAM phosphotyrosine in Iga is necessary for the binding with the BLNK SH2 domain and/or for normal BLNK function in signaling and B cell activation. Upon phosphorylation BLNK binds Btk and PLCgamma2 through their SH2 domains and mediates PLCgamma2 activation by Btk. BLNK also binds other signaling molecules such as Vav, Grb2, Syk, and HPK1. BLNK has been shown to be necessary for BCR-mediated Ca2+ mobilization, for the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases such as ERK, JNK, and p38 in a chicken B cell line DT40, and for activation of transcription factors such as NF-AT and NF-kappaB in human or mouse B cells. BLNK is involved in B cell development, B cell survival, activation, proliferation, and T-independent immune responses. BLNK is structurally homologous to SLP-76. SLP-76 and (linker for activation of T cells) LAT are adaptor/linker proteins in T cell antigen receptor activation and T cell development. BLNK interacts with many downstream signaling proteins that interact directly with both SLP-76 and LAT. New data suggest functional complementation of SLP-76 and LAT in T cell antigen receptor function with BLNK in BCR function. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'¢€0€0€ €‚Ôcd09930, SH2_cSH2_p85_like, C-terminal Src homology 2 (cSH2) domain found in p85. Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) are essential for cell growth, migration, and survival. p110, the catalytic subunit, is composed of an adaptor-binding domain, a Ras-binding domain, a C2 domain, a helical domain, and a kinase domain. The regulatory unit is called p85 and is composed of an SH3 domain, a RhoGap domain, a N-terminal SH2 (nSH2) domain, a inter SH2 (iSH2) domain, and C-terminal (cSH2) domain. There are 2 inhibitory interactions between p110alpha and p85 of P13K: 1) p85 nSH2 domain with the C2, helical, and kinase domains of p110alpha and 2) p85 iSH2 domain with C2 domain of p110alpha. There are 3 inhibitory interactions between p110beta and p85 of P13K: 1) p85 nSH2 domain with the C2, helical, and kinase domains of p110beta, 2) p85 iSH2 domain with C2 domain of p110alpha, and 3) p85 cSH2 domain with the kinase domain of p110alpha. It is interesting to note that p110beta is oncogenic as a wild type protein while p110alpha lacks this ability. One explanation is the idea that the regulation of p110beta by p85 is unique because of the addition of inhibitory contacts from the cSH2 domain and the loss of contacts in the iSH2 domain. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €(¢€0€0€ €‚ cd09931, SH2_C-SH2_SHP_like, C-terminal Src homology 2 (C-SH2) domain found in SH2 domain Phosphatases (SHP) proteins. The SH2 domain phosphatases (SHP-1, SHP-2/Syp, Drosophila corkscrew (csw), and Caenorhabditis elegans Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase (Ptp-2)) are cytoplasmic signaling enzymes. They are both targeted and regulated by interactions of their SH2 domains with phosphotyrosine docking sites. These proteins contain two SH2 domains (N-SH2, C-SH2) followed by a tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) domain, and a C-terminal extension. Shp1 and Shp2 have two tyrosyl phosphorylation sites in their C-tails, which are phosphorylated differentially by receptor and nonreceptor PTKs. Csw retains the proximal tyrosine and Ptp-2 lacks both sites. Shp-binding proteins include receptors, scaffolding adapters, and inhibitory receptors. Some of these bind both Shp1 and Shp2 while others bind only one. Most proteins that bind a Shp SH2 domain contain one or more immuno-receptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs): [SIVL]xpYxx[IVL]. Shp1 N-SH2 domain blocks the catalytic domain and keeps the enzyme in the inactive conformation, and is thus believed to regulate the phosphatase activity of SHP-1. Its C-SH2 domain is thought to be involved in searching for phosphotyrosine activators. The SHP2 N-SH2 domain is a conformational switch; it either binds and inhibits the phosphatase, or it binds phosphoproteins and activates the enzyme. The C-SH2 domain contributes binding energy and specificity, but it does not have a direct role in activation. Csw SH2 domain function is essential, but either SH2 domain can fulfill this requirement. The role of the csw SH2 domains during Sevenless receptor tyrosine kinase (SEV) signaling is to bind Daughter of Sevenless rather than activated SEV. Ptp-2 acts in oocytes downstream of sheath/oocyte gap junctions to promote major sperm protein (MSP)-induced MAP Kinase (MPK-1) phosphorylation. Ptp-2 functions in the oocyte cytoplasm, not at the cell surface to inhibit multiple RasGAPs, resulting in sustained Ras activation. It is thought that MSP triggers PTP-2/Ras activation and ROS production to stimulate MPK-1 activity essential for oocyte maturation and that secreted MSP domains and Cu/Zn superoxide dismutases function antagonistically to control ROS and MAPK signaling. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €)¢€0€0€ €‚%cd09932, SH2_C-SH2_PLC_gamma_like, C-terminal Src homology 2 (C-SH2) domain in Phospholipase C gamma. Phospholipase C gamma is a signaling molecule that is recruited to the C-terminal tail of the receptor upon autophosphorylation of a highly conserved tyrosine. PLCgamma is composed of a Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain followed by an elongation factor (EF) domain, 2 catalytic regions of PLC domains that flank 2 tandem SH2 domains (N-SH2, C-SH2), and ending with a SH3 domain and C2 domain. N-SH2 SH2 domain-mediated interactions represent a crucial step in transmembrane signaling by receptor tyrosine kinases. SH2 domains recognize phosphotyrosine (pY) in the context of particular sequence motifs in receptor phosphorylation sites. Both N-SH2 and C-SH2 have a very similar binding affinity to pY. But in growth factor stimulated cells these domains bind to different target proteins. N-SH2 binds to pY containing sites in the C-terminal tails of tyrosine kinases and other receptors. Recently it has been shown that this interaction is mediated by phosphorylation-independent interactions between a secondary binding site found exclusively on the N-SH2 domain and a region of the FGFR1 tyrosine kinase domain. This secondary site on the SH2 cooperates with the canonical pY site to regulate selectivity in mediating a specific cellular process. C-SH2 binds to an intramolecular site on PLCgamma itself which allows it to hydrolyze phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate into diacylglycerol and inositol triphosphate. These then activate protein kinase C and release calcium. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €*¢€0€0€ €‚ Žcd09933, SH2_Src_family, Src homology 2 (SH2) domain found in the Src family of non-receptor tyrosine kinases. The Src family kinases are nonreceptor tyrosine kinases that have been implicated in pathways regulating proliferation, angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis, and bone metabolism. It is thought that transforming ability of Src is linked to its ability to activate key signaling molecules in these pathways, rather than through direct activity. As such blocking Src activation has been a target for drug companies. Src family members can be divided into 3 groups based on their expression pattern: 1) Src, Fyn, and Yes; 2) Blk, Fgr, Hck, Lck, and Lyn; and 3) Frk-related kinases Frk/Rak and Iyk/Bsk Of these, cellular c-Src is the best studied and most frequently implicated in oncogenesis. The c-Src contains five distinct regions: a unique N-terminal domain, an SH3 domain, an SH2 domain, a kinase domain and a regulatory tail, as do the other members of the family. Src exists in both active and inactive conformations. Negative regulation occurs through phosphorylation of Tyr, resulting in an intramolecular association between phosphorylated Tyr and the SH2 domain of SRC, which locks the protein in a closed conformation. Further stabilization of the inactive state occurs through interactions between the SH3 domain and a proline-rich stretch of residues within the kinase domain. Conversely, dephosphorylation of Tyr allows SRC to assume an open conformation. Full activity requires additional autophosphorylation of a Tyr residue within the catalytic domain. Loss of the negative-regulatory C-terminal segment has been shown to result in increased activity and transforming potential. Phosphorylation of the C-terminal Tyr residue by C-terminal Src kinase (Csk) and Csk homology kinase results in increased intramolecular interactions and consequent Src inactivation. Specific phosphatases, protein tyrosine phosphatase a (PTPa) and the SH-containing phosphatases SHP1/SHP2, have also been shown to take a part in Src activation. Src is also activated by direct binding of focal adhesion kinase (Fak) and Crk-associated substrate (Cas) to the SH2 domain. SRC activity can also be regulated by numerous receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), such as Her2, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), fibroblast growth factor receptor, platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR). In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € “¢€0€0€ €‚ºcd09934, SH2_Tec_family, Src homology 2 (SH2) domain found in Tec-like proteins. The Tec protein tyrosine kinase is the founding member of a family that includes Btk, Itk, Bmx, and Txk. The members have a PH domain, a zinc-binding motif, a SH3 domain, a SH2 domain, and a protein kinase catalytic domain. Btk is involved in B-cell receptor signaling with mutations in Btk responsible for X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) in humans and X-linked immunodeficiency (xid) in mice. Itk is involved in T-cell receptor signaling. Tec is expressed in both T and B cells, and is thought to function in activated and effector T lymphocytes to induce the expression of genes regulated by NFAT transcription factors. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €,¢€0€0€ €‚ ecd09935, SH2_ABL, Src homology 2 (SH2) domain found in Abelson murine lymphosarcoma virus (ABL) proteins. ABL-family proteins are highly conserved tyrosine kinases. Each ABL protein contains an SH3-SH2-TK (Src homology 3-Src homology 2-tyrosine kinase) domain cassette, which confers autoregulated kinase activity and is common among nonreceptor tyrosine kinases. Several types of posttranslational modifications control ABL catalytic activity, subcellular localization, and stability, with consequences for both cytoplasmic and nuclear ABL functions. Binding partners provide additional regulation of ABL catalytic activity, substrate specificity, and downstream signaling. By combining this cassette with actin-binding and -bundling domain, ABL proteins are capable of connecting phosphoregulation with actin-filament reorganization. Vertebrate paralogs, ABL1 and ABL2, have evolved to perform specialized functions. ABL1 includes nuclear localization signals and a DNA binding domain which is used to mediate DNA damage-repair functions, while ABL2 has additional binding capacity for actin and for microtubules to enhance its cytoskeletal remodeling functions. SH2 is involved in several autoinhibitory mechanism that constrain the enzymatic activity of the ABL-family kinases. In one mechanism SH2 and SH3 cradle the kinase domain while a cap sequence stabilizes the inactive conformation resulting in a locked inactive state. Another involves phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) which binds the SH2 domain through residues normally required for phosphotyrosine binding in the linker segment between the SH2 and kinase domains. The SH2 domain contributes to ABL catalytic activity and target site specificity. It is thought that the ABL catalytic site and SH2 pocket have coevolved to recognize the same sequences. Recent work now supports a hierarchical processivity model in which the substrate target site most compatible with ABL kinase domain preferences is phosphorylated with greatest efficiency. If this site is compatible with the ABL SH2 domain specificity, it will then reposition and dock in the SH2 pocket. This mechanism also explains how ABL kinases phosphorylates poor targets on the same substrate if they are properly positioned and how relatively poor substrate proteins might be recruited to ABL through a complex with strong substrates that can also dock with the SH2 pocket. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €-¢€0€0€ €‚ Àcd09937, SH2_csk_like, Src homology 2 (SH2) domain found in Carboxyl-Terminal Src Kinase (Csk). Both the C-terminal Src kinase (CSK) and CSK-homologous kinase (CHK) are members of the CSK-family of protein tyrosine kinases. These proteins suppress activity of Src-family kinases (SFK) by selectively phosphorylating the conserved C-terminal tail regulatory tyrosine by a similar mechanism. CHK is also capable of inhibiting SFKs by a non-catalytic mechanism that involves binding of CHK to SFKs to form stable protein complexes. The unphosphorylated form of SFKs is inhibited by CSK and CHK by a two-step mechanism. The first step involves the formation of a complex of SFKs with CSK/CHK with the SFKs in the complex are inactive. The second step, involves the phosphorylation of the C-terminal tail tyrosine of SFKs, which then dissociates and adopt an inactive conformation. The structural basis of how the phosphorylated SFKs dissociate from CSK/CHK to adopt the inactive conformation is not known. The inactive conformation of SFKs is stabilized by two intramolecular inhibitory interactions: (a) the pYT:SH2 interaction in which the phosphorylated C-terminal tail tyrosine (YT) binds to the SH2 domain, and (b) the linker:SH3 interaction of which the SH2-kinase domain linker binds to the SH3 domain. SFKs are activated by multiple mechanisms including binding of the ligands to the SH2 and SH3 domains to displace the two inhibitory intramolecular interactions, autophosphorylation, and dephosphorylation of YT. By selective phosphorylation and the non-catalytic inhibitory mechanism CSK and CHK are able to inhibit the active forms of SFKs. CSK and CHK are regulated by phosphorylation and inter-domain interactions. They both contain SH3, SH2, and kinase domains separated by the SH3-SH2 connector and SH2 kinase linker, intervening segments separating the three domains. They lack a conserved tyrosine phosphorylation site in the kinase domain and the C-terminal tail regulatory tyrosine phosphorylation site. The CSK SH2 domain is crucial for stabilizing the kinase domain in the active conformation. A disulfide bond here regulates CSK kinase activity. The subcellular localization and activity of CSK are regulated by its SH2 domain. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €.¢€0€0€ €‚6cd09938, SH2_N-SH2_Zap70_Syk_like, N-terminal Src homology 2 (SH2) domain found in Zeta-chain-associated protein kinase 70 (ZAP-70) and Spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) proteins. ZAP-70 and Syk comprise a family of hematopoietic cell specific protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) that are required for antigen and antibody receptor function. ZAP-70 is expressed in T and natural killer (NK) cells and Syk is expressed in B cells, mast cells, polymorphonuclear leukocytes, platelets, macrophages, and immature T cells. They are required for the proper development of T and B cells, immune receptors, and activating NK cells. They consist of two N-terminal Src homology 2 (SH2) domains and a C-terminal kinase domain separated from the SH2 domains by a linker or hinge region. Phosphorylation of both tyrosine residues within the Immunoreceptor Tyrosine-based Activation Motifs (ITAM; consensus sequence Yxx[LI]x(7,8)Yxx[LI]) by the Src-family PTKs is required for efficient interaction of ZAP-70 and Syk with the receptor subunits and for receptor function. ZAP-70 forms two phosphotyrosine binding pockets, one of which is shared by both SH2 domains. In Syk the two SH2 domains do not form such a phosphotyrosine-binding site. The SH2 domains here are believed to function independently. In addition, the two SH2 domains of Syk display flexibility in their relative orientation, allowing Syk to accommodate a greater variety of spacing sequences between the ITAM phosphotyrosines and singly phosphorylated non-classical ITAM ligands. This model contains the N-terminus SH2 domains of both Syk and Zap70. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €/¢€0€0€ €‚Ácd09939, SH2_STAP_family, Src homology 2 domain found in Signal-transducing adaptor protein (STAP) family. STAP1 and STAP2 are signal-transducing adaptor proteins. They are composed of a Pleckstrin homology (PH) and SH2 domains along with several tyrosine phosphorylation sites. STAP-1 is an ortholog of BRDG1 (BCR downstream signaling 1). STAP1 protein functions as a docking protein acting downstream of Tec tyrosine kinase in B cell antigen receptor signaling. The protein is phosphorylated by Tec and participates in a positive feedback loop, increasing Tec activity. STAP1 has been shown to interact with C19orf2, an unconventional prefoldin RPB5 interactor. The STAP2 protein is the substrate of breast tumor kinase, an Src-type non-receptor tyrosine kinase that mediates the interactions linking proteins involved in signal transduction pathways. STAP2 has alternative splicing variants. STAP2 has been shown to interact with tyrosine-protein kinase 6 (PTK6). In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €0¢€0€0€ €‚Zcd09940, SH2_Vav_family, Src homology 2 (SH2) domain found in the Vav family. Vav proteins are involved in several processes that require cytoskeletal reorganization, such as the formation of the immunological synapse (IS), phagocytosis, platelet aggregation, spreading, and transformation. Vavs function as guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) for the Rho/Rac family of GTPases. Vav family members have several conserved motifs/domains including: a leucine-rich region, a leucine-zipper, a calponin homology (CH) domain, an acidic domain, a Dbl-homology (DH) domain, a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, a cysteine-rich domain, 2 SH3 domains, a proline-rich region, and a SH2 domain. Vavs are the only known Rho GEFs that have both the DH/PH motifs and SH2/SH3 domains in the same protein. The leucine-rich helix-loop-helix (HLH) domain is thought to be involved in protein heterodimerization with other HLH proteins and it may function as a negative regulator by forming inactive heterodimers. The CH domain is usually involved in the association with filamentous actin, but in Vav it controls NFAT stimulation, Ca2+ mobilization, and its transforming activity. Acidic domains are involved in protein-protein interactions and contain regulatory tyrosines. The DH domain is a GDP-GTP exchange factor on Rho/Rac GTPases. The PH domain in involved in interactions with GTP-binding proteins, lipids and/or phosphorylated serine/threonine residues. The SH3 domain is involved in localization of proteins to specific sites within the cell interacting with protein with proline-rich sequences. The SH2 domain mediates a high affinity interaction with tyrosine phosphorylated proteins. There are three Vav mammalian family members: Vav1 which is expressed in the hematopoietic system, Vav2 and Vav3 are more ubiquitously expressed. The members here include insect and amphibian Vavs. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €1¢€0€0€ €‚$cd09941, SH2_Grb2_like, Src homology 2 domain found in Growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (Grb2) and similar proteins. The adaptor proteins here include homologs Grb2 in humans, Sex muscle abnormal protein 5 (Sem-5) in Caenorhabditis elegans, and Downstream of receptor kinase (drk) in Drosophila melanogaster. They are composed of one SH2 and two SH3 domains. Grb2/Sem-5/drk regulates the Ras pathway by linking the tyrosine kinases to the Ras guanine nucleotide releasing protein Sos, which converts Ras to the active GTP-bound state. The SH2 domain of Grb2/Sem-5/drk binds class II phosphotyrosyl peptides while its SH3 domain binds to Sos and Sos-derived, proline-rich peptides. Besides it function in Ras signaling, Grb2 is also thought to play a role in apoptosis. Unlike most SH2 structures in which the peptide binds in an extended conformation (such that the +3 peptide residue occupies a hydrophobic pocket in the protein, conferring a modest degree of selectivity), Grb2 forms several hydrogen bonds via main chain atoms with the side chain of +2 Asn. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € ”¢€0€0€ €‚Ýcd09942, SH2_nSH2_p85_like, N-terminal Src homology 2 (nSH2) domain found in p85. Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) are essential for cell growth, migration, and survival. p110, the catalytic subunit, is composed of an adaptor-binding domain, a Ras-binding domain, a C2 domain, a helical domain, and a kinase domain. The regulatory unit is called p85 and is composed of an SH3 domain, a RhoGap domain, a N-terminal SH2 (nSH2) domain, an internal SH2 (iSH2) domain, and C-terminal (cSH2) domain. There are 2 inhibitory interactions between p110alpha and p85 of P13K: (1) p85 nSH2 domain with the C2, helical, and kinase domains of p110alpha and (2) p85 iSH2 domain with C2 domain of p110alpha. There are 3 inhibitory interactions between p110beta and p85 of P13K: (1) p85 nSH2 domain with the C2, helical, and kinase domains of p110beta, (2) p85 iSH2 domain with C2 domain of p110alpha, and (3) p85 cSH2 domain with the kinase domain of p110alpha. It is interesting to note that p110beta is oncogenic as a wild type protein while p110alpha lacks this ability. One explanation is the idea that the regulation of p110beta by p85 is unique because of the addition of inhibitory contacts from the cSH2 domain and the loss of contacts in the iSH2 domain. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €3¢€0€0€ €‚Ècd09943, SH2_Nck_family, Src homology 2 (SH2) domain found in the Nck family. Nck proteins are adaptors that modulate actin cytoskeleton dynamics by linking proline-rich effector molecules to tyrosine kinases or phosphorylated signaling intermediates. There are two members known in this family: Nck1 (Nckalpha) and Nck2 (Nckbeta and Growth factor receptor-bound protein 4 (Grb4)). They are characterized by having 3 SH3 domains and a C-terminal SH2 domain. Nck1 and Nck2 have overlapping functions as determined by gene knockouts. Both bind receptor tyrosine kinases and other tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins through their SH2 domains. In addition they also bind distinct targets. Neuronal signaling proteins: EphrinB1, EphrinB2, and Disabled-1 (Dab-1) all bind to Nck-2 exclusively. And in the case of PDGFR, Tyr(P)751 binds to Nck1 while Tyr(P)1009 binds to Nck2. Nck1 and Nck2 have a role in the infection process of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC). Their SH3 domains are involved in recruiting and activating the N-WASP/Arp2/3 complex inducing actin polymerization resulting in the production of pedestals, dynamic bacteria-presenting protrusions of the plasma membrane. A similar thing occurs in the vaccinia virus where motile plasma membrane projections are formed beneath the virus. Recently it has been shown that the SH2 domains of both Nck1 and Nck2 bind the G-protein coupled receptor kinase-interacting protein 1 (GIT1) in a phosphorylation-dependent manner. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €4¢€0€0€ €‚òcd09944, SH2_Grb7_family, Src homology 2 (SH2) domain found in the growth factor receptor bound, subclass 7 (Grb7) proteins. The Grb family binds to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR, erbB1) via their SH2 domains. There are 3 members of the Grb7 family of proteins: Grb7, Grb10, and Grb14. They are composed of an N-terminal Proline-rich domain, a Ras Associating-like (RA) domain, a Pleckstrin Homology (PH) domain, a phosphotyrosine interaction region (PIR, BPS) and a C-terminal SH2 domain. The SH2 domains of Grb7, Grb10 and Grb14 preferentially bind to a different RTK. Grb7 binds strongly to the erbB2 receptor, unlike Grb10 and Grb14 which bind weakly to it. Grb14 binds to Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor (FGFR). Grb10 has been shown to interact with many different proteins, including the insulin and IGF1 receptors, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor-beta, Ret, Kit, Raf1 and MEK1, and Nedd4. Grb7 family proteins are phosphorylated on serine/threonine as well as tyrosine residues. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction.

SHB, SHD, SHE, and SHF are SH2 domain-containing proteins that play various roles throughout the cell. SHB functions in generating signaling compounds in response to tyrosine kinase activation. SHB contains proline-rich motifs, a phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) domain, tyrosine phosphorylation sites, and a SH2 domain. SHB mediates certain aspects of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor-, fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor-, neural growth factor (NGF) receptor TRKA-, T cell receptor-, interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor- and focal adhesion kinase- (FAK) signaling. SRC-like FYN-Related Kinase FRK/RAK (also named BSK/IYK or GTK) and SHB regulate apoptosis, proliferation and differentiation. SHB promotes apoptosis and is also required for proper mitogenicity, spreading and tubular morphogenesis in endothelial cells. SHB also plays a role in preventing early cavitation of embryoid bodies and reduces differentiation to cells expressing albumin, amylase, insulin and glucagon. SHB is a multifunctional protein that has difference responses in different cells under various conditions. SHE is expressed in heart, lung, brain, and skeletal muscle, while expression of SHD is restricted to the brain. SHF is mainly expressed in skeletal muscle, brain, liver, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine, and colon. SHD may be a physiological substrate of c-Abl and may function as an adapter protein in the central nervous system. It is also thought to be involved in apoptotic regulation. SHD contains five YXXP motifs, a substrate sequence preferred by Abl tyrosine kinases, in addition to a poly-proline rich region and a C-terminal SH2 domain. SHE contains two pTry protein binding domains, protein interaction domain (PID) and a SH2 domain, followed by a glycine-proline rich region, all of which are N-terminal to the phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) domain. SHF contains four putative tyrosine phosphorylation sites and an SH2 domain. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €6¢€0€0€ €‚cd09946, SH2_HSH2_like, Src homology 2 domain found in hematopoietic SH2 (HSH2) protein. HSH2 is thought to function as an adapter protein involved in tyrosine kinase signaling. It may also be involved in regulating cytokine signaling and cytoskeletal reorganization in hematopoietic cells. HSH2 contains several putative protein-binding motifs, SH3-binding proline-rich regions, and phosphotyrosine sites, but lacks enzymatic motifs. HSH2 was found to interact with cytokine-regulated tyrosine kinase c-FES and an activated Cdc42-associated tyrosine kinase ACK1. HSH2 binds c-FES through both its C-terminal region and its N-terminal region including the SH2 domain and binds ACK1 via its N-terminal proline-rich region. Both kinases bound and tyrosine-phosphorylated HSH2 in mammalian cells. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction.

In the HR1-HR2 region of Ebola virus and RSV, the linker region between the two repeats includes a CKS17-like immunosuppressive region and a CX6C motif that forms an intra-subunit disulfide bond; MMTV, HIV-1, HERV-K endogenous retroviruses and related sequences lack a canonical CSK17-like sequence, and CX6C motif. N-terminal to the HR1-HR2 region is a fusion peptide (FP), and C-terminal, is a membrane-spanning region (MSR). Viral infection involves the formation of a trimer-of-hairpins structure (three HR1 helices, buttressed by three HR2 helices lying in antiparallel orientation). In this structure, the FP (inserted in the host cell membrane) and MSR (inserted in the viral membrane) are in close proximity. ERVs are likely to originate from ancient germ-line infections by active retroviruses. Some modern ERVs, those that integrated into the host genome post-speciation, have a currently active exogenous counterpart, such as Jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus (JSRV), feline leukemia virus (FeLV), and avian leukemia virus (ALV). Some ERVs play specific roles in the host, including placental development, protection of the host from infection by related pathogenic and exogenous retroviruses, and genome plasticity.

Syncytin-2, but not Syncytin-1, is immunosuppressive; its immunosuppressive domain may protect the fetus from the mother's immune system. Syncytin-1 may participate in the formation of the placental trophoblast; it is also implicated in cell fusions between cancer and host cells and between cancer cell, and in human osteclast fusion.

This domain subfamily spans both heptad repeats of the glycoprotein (gp)/transmembrane subunit of various endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) including the human ERVs (HERVs): HERV-R(b)_c3p24.3 and Syncytin-3 (also known as HERV-P(b)_c14q32.12). This domain belongs to a larger superfamily containing the HR1-HR2 domain of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) and infectious retroviruses, such as Ebola virus, Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). This domain includes an N-terminal heptad repeat, a CKS17-like immunosuppressive region, a CX6C motif that forms an intrasubunit disulfide bond, and a C-terminal, is a heptad repeat. In intact retroviruses, N-terminal to HR1-HR2 region is a fusion peptide (FP), and C-terminal, is a membrane-spanning region (MSR). Viral infection involves the formation of a trimer-of-hairpins structure (three HR1s helices, buttressed by three HR2 helices lying in antiparallel orientation). In this structure, the FP (inserted in the host cell membrane) and MSR (inserted in the viral membrane) are in close proximity. ERVs are likely to originate from ancient germ-line infections by active retroviruses. Some ERVs play specific roles in the host, including placental development, protection of the host from infection by related pathogenic and exogenous retroviruses, and genome plasticity. Syncytin-3 is fusogenic, HERV-R(b)_c3p24.3 appears not to have fusogenic activity.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €þ¢€0€0€ €‚µcd09966, UP_III_II, Uroplakin IIIb, IIIa and II.

In Pseudomonas PAO1, mutation studies show that histidine degradation proceeds via a 'four-step' pathway if the 'five-step' route is absent and vice versa; in the four-step pathway, formiminoglutaminase (HutE, EC 3.5.3.8) directly converts formiminoglutamate (FIGLU) to L-glutamate and formamide in a single step. Formiminoglutamase has traditionally also been referred to as HutG; however, formiminoglutamase is structurally and mechanistically unrelated to N-formyl-glutamate deformylase (also called HutG).

Arginase is a binuclear Mn-dependent metalloenzyme and catalyzes hydrolysis of L-arginine to L-ornithine and urea (Arg, EC 3.5.3.1), the reaction being the fifth and final step in the urea cycle, providing the path for the disposal of nitrogenous compounds. Arginase controls cellular levels of arginine and ornithine which are involved in protein biosynthesis, and in production of creatine, polyamines, proline and nitric acid. In vertebrates, at least two isozymes have been identified: type I (ARG1) cytoplasmic or hepatic liver-type arginase and type II (ARG2) mitochondrial or non-hepatic arginase. Point mutations in human arginase ARG1 gene lead to hyperargininemia with consequent mental disorders, retarded development and early death. Hyperargininemia is associated with a several-fold increase in the activity of the mitochondrial arginase (ARG2), causing persistent ureagenesis in patients.

Agmatinase (agmatine ureohydrolase; SpeB; EC=3.5.3.11) is the key enzyme in the synthesis of polyamine putrescine; it catalyzes hydrolysis of agmatine to yield putrescine and urea. This enzyme has been found in bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes, requiring divalent Mn and sometimes Zn, Co or Ca for activity. In mammals, the highest level of agmatinase mRNA was found in liver and kidney. However, catabolism of agmatine via agmatinase apparently is a not major path; it is mostly catabolized via diamine oxidase. Agmatinase has been shown to be down-regulated in tumor renal cells. Guanidinobutyrase (Gbh, EC=3.5.3.7) catalyzes hydrolysis of 4-guanidinobutanoate to yield 4-aminobutanoate and urea in arginine degradation pathway. Activity has been shown for purified enzyme from Arthrobacter sp. KUJ 8602. Additionally, guanidinobutyrase is able to hydrolyze D-arginine, 3-guanidinopropionate, 5-guanidinovaleriate and L-arginine with much less affinity, having divalent Zn ions for catalysis. Proclavaminate amidinohydrolase (Pah, EC 3.5.3.22) hydrolyzes amidinoproclavaminate to yield proclavaminate and urea in clavulanic acid biosynthesis. Activity has been shown for purified enzyme from Streptomyces clavuligerus. Clavulanic acid is the effective inhibitor of beta-lactamases.

Substrates for prokaryotic histone-like deacetylases are not known. Histone acetylation/deacetylation process is important for mediation of transcriptional regulation of many genes.

Histone deacetylases often act as members of large multi-protein complexes such as mSin3A or SMRT/N-CoR. Human HDAC11 does not associate with them but can interact with HDAC6 in vivo. It has been suggested that HDAC11 and HDAC6 may use non-histone proteins as their substrates and play a role other than to directly modulate chromatin structure. In normal tissues, expression of HDAC11 is limited to kidney, heart, brain, skeletal muscle and testis, suggesting that its function might be tissue-specific. In mammals, HDAC11 proteins are known to be involved in progression of various tumors. HDAC11 plays an essential role in regulating OX40 ligand (OX40L) expression in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL); selective inhibition of HDAC11 expression significantly up-regulates OX40L and induces apoptosis in HL cell lines. Thus, inhibition of HDAC11 could be a therapeutic drug option for antitumor immune response in HL patients.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €>'¢€0€0€ €‚þcd09994, HDAC_AcuC_like, Class I histone deacetylase AcuC (Acetoin utilization protein)-like enzymes. AcuC (Acetoin utilization protein) is a class I deacetylase found only in bacteria and is involved in post-translational control of the acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase (AcsA). Deacetylase AcuC works in coordination with deacetylase SrtN (class III), possibly to maintain AcsA in active (deacetylated) form and let the cell grow under low concentration of acetate. B. subtilis AcuC is a member of operon acuABC; this operon is repressed by the presence of glucose and does not show induction by acetoin; acetoin is a bacterial fermentation product that can be converted to acetate via the butanediol cycle in absence of other carbon sources. Inactivation of AcuC leads to slower growth and lower cell yield under low-acetate conditions in Bacillus subtilis. In general, Class I histone deacetylases (HDACs) are Zn-dependent enzymes that catalyze hydrolysis of N(6)-acetyl-lysine residues in histone amino termini to yield a deacetylated histone (EC 3.5.1.98). Enzymes belonging to this group participate in regulation of a number of processes through protein (mostly different histones) modification (deacetylation).

Histone acetylation/deacetylation process is important for mediation of transcriptional regulation of many genes. HDACs usually act via association with DNA binding proteins to target specific chromatin regions. HDAC6 is the only histone deacetylase with internal duplication of two catalytic domains which appear to function independently of each other, and also has a C-terminal ubiquitin-binding domain. It is located in the cytoplasm and associates with microtubule motor complex, functioning as the tubulin deacetylase and regulating microtubule-dependent cell motility.

HDAC3 is a Zn-dependent class I histone deacetylase that catalyzes hydrolysis of N(6)-acetyl-lysine residue of a histone to yield a deacetylated histone (EC 3.5.1.98). Histone acetylation/deacetylation process is important for mediation of transcriptional regulation of many genes. In order to target specific chromatin regions, HDAC3 can interact with DNA-binding proteins (transcriptional factors) either directly or after forming complexes with a number of other proteins, as observed for the SMPT/N-CoR complex which recruits human HDAC3 to specific chromatin loci and activates deacetylation. Human HDAC3 is also involved in deacetylation of non-histone substrates such as RelA, SPY and p53 factors. This protein can also down-regulate p53 function and subsequently modulate cell growth and apoptosis. This gene is therefore regarded as a potential tumor suppressor gene. HDAC3 plays a role in various physiological processes, including subcellular protein localization, cell cycle progression, cell differentiation, apoptosis and survival. HDAC3 has been found to be overexpressed in some tumors including leukemia, lung carcinoma, colon cancer and maxillary carcinoma.

In humans, it is expressed by the SFN gene, strictly in stratified squamous epithelial cells in response to DNA damage where it is transcriptionally induced in a p53-dependent manner, subsequently causing cell-cycle arrest at the G2/M checkpoint. Up-regulation and down-regulation of 14-3-3 sigma expression have both been described in tumors. For example, in human breast cancer, 14-3-3 sigma is predominantly down-regulated by CpG methylation, acting as both a tumor suppressor and a prognostic indicator, while in human scirrhous-type gastric carcinoma (SGC), it is up-regulated and may play an important role in SGC carcinogenesis and progression. Loss of 14-3-3 sigma expression sensitizes tumor cells to treatment with conventional cytostatic drugs, making this protein an attractive therapeutic target. 14-3-3 domains are an essential part of 14-3-3 proteins, a ubiquitous class of regulatory, phosphoserine/threonine-binding proteins found in all eukaryotic cells, including yeast, protozoa and mammalian cells.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'¤¢€0€0€ €‚`cd10020, 14-3-3_epsilon, 14-3-3 epsilon, an isoform of 14-3-3 protein. 14-3-3 protein epsilon isoform (isoform (also known as tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/ tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein, epsilon polypeptide) is encoded by the YWHAE gene in humans and is involved in cancer cell survival and growth. It interacts with CDC25 phosphatases, RAF1 and IRS1 proteins, suggesting its role in diverse biochemical activities related to signal transduction, such as cell division and regulation of insulin sensitivity. Overexpression of 14-3-3 epsilon in primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues predicts a high risk of extrahepatic metastasis and worse survival, and is a potential therapeutic target. It has also been implicated in the pathogenesis of small cell lung cancer. 14-3-3 epsilon overexpression protects colorectal cancer and endothelial cells from oxidative stress-induced apoptosis, while its suppression by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs induces cancer and endothelial cell death. Cellular levels of 14-3-3 epsilon could possibly serve as an important regulator of cell survival in response to oxidative stress and other death signals. 14-3-3 domains are an essential part of 14-3-3 proteins, a ubiquitous class of regulatory, phosphoserine/threonine-binding proteins found in all eukaryotic cells, including yeast, protozoa and mammalian cells.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'¥¢€0€0€ €‚ Zcd10022, 14-3-3_beta_zeta, 14-3-3 beta and zeta isoforms of 14-3-3 protein. 14-3-3 protein beta and zeta isoform (also known as tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein, beta and zeta polypeptide) are encoded by the YWHAB gene and YWHAZ gene in humans. They have been linked to mitogenic signaling and the cell cycle machinery, and to cancer initiation and progression, respectively. The beta isoform has been shown to interact with RAF1 and CDC25 phosphatases and its overexpression is associated with invasion, migration, metastasis and proliferation of tumor cells and its elevated levels are correlated with tumor size, the number of lymph node metastases and a reduced survival rate. It is significantly overexpressed in lung cancer tissues, mutated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (M-CLL), gastric cancer tissues, aflatoxin B1-induced rat hepatocellular carcinoma K1 and K2 cells, as well as renal cell carcinoma cysts, and can potentially be used as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in the cancer. Numerous proteins involved in anti-apoptosis and tumor progression were also found to be differentially expressed in gastric cancer cells where 14-3-3 beta is overexpressed. 14-3-3 beta also interacts with human Dapper1 (hDpr1), a key negative regulator of Wnt signaling, via hDpr1 phosphorylation by protein kinase A, thus attenuating the ability of hDpr1 to promote Dishevelled (Dvl) degradation, and subsequently enhancing Wnt signaling. The zeta isoform is ubiquitously expressed and localized to most subcellular regions, including the cytoplasm, plasma membrane, mitochondria, and nucleus. Its overexpression and gene amplification in multiple cancers are correlated with poor prognosis and chemoresistance in cancer patients. 14-3-3 zeta has been identified as a biomarker with high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis and prognosis in multiple tumor types, including hepatocellular carcinoma, head and neck cancer, indicating a potential clinical application for using 14-3-3 zeta in selecting treatment options and predicting cancer outcome.

Its interaction with CDC25c regulates entry into the cell cycle and subsequent interaction with Bad prevents apoptosis. 14-3-3 theta protein expression is induced in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. 14-3-3 tau is often overexpressed in breast cancer, which is associated with the downregulation of p21, a p53 target gene, and thus leads to tamoxifen resistance in MCF7 breast cancer cells and shorter patient survival. Therefore, 14-3-3 tau may be a potential therapeutic target in breast cancer. Additionally, 14-3-3 theta mediates nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of the coronavirus nucleocapsid protein which causes severe acute respiratory syndrome. 14-3-3 domain is an essential part of 14-3-3 proteins, a ubiquitous class of regulatory, phosphoserine/threonine-binding proteins found in all eukaryotic cells, including yeast, protozoa and mammalian cells.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'§¢€0€0€ €‚§cd10024, 14-3-3_gamma, 14-3-3 gamma, an isoform of 14-3-3 protein. 14-3-3 gamma isoform (also known as tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein, gamma polypeptide) is encoded by the YWHAG gene in humans and is induced by growth factors in human vascular smooth muscle cells. It is also highly expressed in skeletal and heart muscles, suggesting an important role in muscle tissue. It has been shown to interact with RAF1 and protein kinase C, proteins involved in various signal transduction pathways. 14-3-3 gamma mediates Cdc25A proteolysis to block premature mitotic entry after DNA damage. 14-3-3 gamma mediates the interaction between Chk1 and Cdc25A; this complex has an essential function in Cdc25A phosphorylation and degradation to block premature mitotic entry after DNA damage. Increased expression of 14-3-3 gamma in lung cancer coincides with loss of functional p53, possibly in a cooperative manner promoting genomic instability. Also, during cell cycle, 14-3-3 gamma protects p21, a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, from degradation mediated by the p53 suppressor MDMX, which may account for elevation of p21 levels independent of p53 and in response to DNA damage. Elevated expression of 14-3-3 gamma in human hepatocellular carcinoma predicts extrahepatic metastasis and worse survival, thus making this protein a candidate biomarker and a potential target for novel therapies against the disease.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'¨¢€0€0€ €‚cd10025, 14-3-3_eta, 14-3-3 eta, an isoform of 14-3-3 protein. 14-3-3 eta isoform (also known as tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein, eta polypeptide) is expressed mainly in brain, and is involved in hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis regulation. In humans, it is encoded by the YWHAH gene, and is a positional and functional candidate for schizophrenia as well as bipolar disorder (BP). This gene contains a 7 bp repeat sequence in its 5' Untranslated Region (UTR), and early-onset schizophrenia has been associated with changes in the number of this repeat. 14-3-3 eta and gamma are found in the serum and synovial fluid of patients with joint inflammation. Specifically, 14-3-3 eta, which plays a regulatory role in chondrogenic differentiation, is significantly overexpressed in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), a chronic inflammatory disease often associated with growth impairment. Overexpression of Gremlin 1, the bone morphogenetic protein antagonist, may play an oncogenic role in carcinomas of the uterine cervix, lung, ovary, kidney, breast, colon, pancreas, and sarcoma, since it functions by interaction with the 14-3-3 eta domain. Therefore, Gremlin 1 and its binding protein 14-3-3 eta could be appropriate targets for developing diagnostic and therapeutic strategies against human cancers. 14-3-3 domain is an essential part of 14-3-3 proteins, a ubiquitous class of regulatory, phosphoserine/threonine-binding proteins found in all eukaryotic cells, including yeast, protozoa and mammalian cells.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'©¢€0€0€ €‚žcd10026, 14-3-3_plant, Plant 14-3-3 protein domain. Plant 14-3-3 isoforms, similar to their highly conserved homologs in mammals, bind to phosphorylated target proteins to modulate their function. They have been implicated in a variety of physiological functions; in particular, abiotic and biotic stress responses, primary metabolism, as well as various aspects of plant growth and development. They function through the regulation of a diverse range of proteins including transcription factors, kinases, structural proteins, ion channels as well as pathogen defense-related proteins. The 14-3-3 proteins are affected transcriptionally as well as functionally by the environment of the plant, both intracellular and extracellular, thus playing a key role in the response to environmental stress, pathogens and light conditions. Plant 14-3-3 proteins have been divided into epsilon-like groups and non-epsilon groups based on phylogenetic clustering. They have a varying number of isoforms (for example, Arabidopsis has thirteen known protein isoforms, cotton has six) with variation in their affinity for specific binding partners, suggesting specific roles in specific processes.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'ª¢€0€0€ €‚*cd10027, UDG_F1, Family 1 of Uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) enzymes. Uracil-DNA glycosylases (UDGs) are DNA repair enzymes that catalyze the removal of mismatched uracil from DNA to initiate DNA base excision repair pathway. Family 1 enzymes are active against uracil in both ssDNA and dsDNA, and recognize uracil explicitly in an extrahelical conformation via a combination of protein and bound-water interactions. Family 1 enzymes are present in Eubacteria, Eukarya and in some eukaryotic viruses. Members of Family 1 are the most efficient Uracil-DNA glycosylases. Uracil in DNA can arise as a result of mis-incorporation of dUMP residues by DNA polymerase or deamination of cytosine. Uracil mispaired with guanine in DNA is one of the major pro-mutagenic events, causing G:C->A:T mutations. Thus, UDG is an essential enzyme for maintaining the integrity of genetic information. More than five UDG families have been characterized so far; these families share similar overall folds, and common active site motifs. However, they may differ in substrate preferences.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¢€0€0€ €‚$cd10028, UDG_F2_MUG, G:T/U mismatch specific DNA glcosylase (MUG). G:T/U mismatch specific DNA glycosylases (MUG) are classified as Family 2 of Uracil DNA glycosylase enzymes. MUG catalyzes the removal of thymine or uracil bases mispaired with guanine through the hydrolysis of their N-glycosidic bond, generating abasic sites in DNA to initiate the base excision repair pathway. G:U and G:T mismatched base pairs arise in DNA either by mis-incorporation during DNA replication or by hydrolytic deamination of cytosine and 5-methyl cytosine, respectively. MUGs are dsDNA specific base excision repair enzymes. They explicitly recognize the widowed guanine on the complementary strand rather than the extrahelical scissile pyrimidine. This allows a broader specificity so that some MUGs can excise uracil, thymine or 3, N(4)-ethenocytosine from mismatches with guanine. MUGs are found in Eubacteria and Eukarya, where they appear to have complementary functions of Family 1 UDGs. MUG is an essential enzyme for maintaining the integrity of genetic information.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¢€0€0€ €‚®cd10029, UDG_F3_SMUG, SMUG: single-strand-selective monofunctional uracil-DNA glycosylase. SMUG (single-strand-selective monofunctional uracil-DNA glycosylase) is classified as Family 3 of Uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) enzymes. SMUG is a DNA repair enzyme that catalyzes the removal of mismatched uracil and its derivatives from DNA to initiate DNA base excision repair pathway. Uracil in DNA can arise as a result of mis-incorporation of dUMP residues by DNA polymerase or deamination of cytosine. Uracil mispaired with guanine in DNA is one of the major pro-mutagenic events, causing G:C->A:T mutations. Thus, DNA repair enzymes are essential for maintaining the integrity of genetic information. A Family 3 UDG from human was first characterized to remove Uracil from ssDNA, hence the name hSMUG (single-strand-selective monofunctional uracil-DNA glycosylase). However, subsequent research has shown that hSMUG1 and its rat ortholog can remove Uracil and its oxidized pyrimidine derivatives from both, ssDNA and dsDNA. The SMUG targeted mismatched uracil derivatives include 5-hydroxyuracil (hoU), 5-hydroxymethyluracil (hmU) and 5-formyluracil (fU). SMUGs are found in Eubacteria and Eukarya.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¢€0€0€ €‚?cd10030, UDG_F4_TTUDGA_like, Family 4 Uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG), found exclusively in thermophilic organisms. The enzymes of Family 4 Uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG), found only in thermophilic organisms, are thermostable enzymes. Uracil-DNA glycosylases (UDGs) are DNA repair enzymes that catalyze the removal of mismatched uracil from DNA to initiate DNA base excision repair pathway. The Thermus thermophilus enzyme TTUDGA removes uracil from both, ssDNA and dsDNA, but not thymine from a G:T mismatch. These details suggest that the mechanism by which Family 4 UDGs remove uracils from DNA is similar to that of Family 1 enzymes. The thermostability of the enzyme may be linked to the presence of an iron-sulfur cluster, salt-bridges and ion pairs on the molecular surface as well as prolines on loops and turns, as commonly found in the Family 4 enzymes. Uracil in DNA can arise as a result of mis-incorporation of dUMP residues by DNA polymerase or deamination of cytosine. Uracil mispaired with guanine in DNA is one of the major pro-mutagenic events, causing G:C->A:T mutations.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¢€0€0€ €‚Êcd10031, UDG_F5_TTUDGB_like, Family-5 Uracil-DNA glycosylases (UDG), found in thermophilic organisms. Family-5 Uracil-DNA glycosylases (UDG), found in thermophilic organisms, are DNA base excision repair enzymes. This family is represented by the enzyme TTUDGB from Thermus thermophilus HB8. Members of this family exhibit high structural and sequence similarity to Family 4 UDGs, which are also found in thermophilic organisms. However, Family 4 and Family 5 enzymes demonstrate differences in substrate specificity and catalytic mechanisms. Both TTUDGA (Family 4) and TTUDGB (Family 5) are capable of removing uracil from double stranded DNA. However, TTUDGA can also remove uracil from single-stranded DNA, while TTUDGB does not. TTUDGB also excises thymine from G:T mismatched DNA. In contrast, TTUDGA cannot remove thymine from a G:T mismatch. Furthermore, TTUDGB removes analogs of uracil from DNA, including 5-hydroxymethyluracil (hmU) and 5-fluorouracil (fU).¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¢€0€0€ €‚#cd10032, UDG_MUG_like, MUG-like Uracil-DNA glycosylase enzyme family.

The Escherichia coli ABC protein Wzt consists of 2 domains, a conventional ABC domain that binds ATP and utilizes its energy to transport molecules across membranes, and a C terminal domain which is responsible for its target molecule specificity. Wzt is part of the ATP-binding-cassette (ABC) transporter complex, responsible for the transport of the O-antigenic polysaccharide (O-PS) portion of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a major component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. This CD includes Wzt proteins from two Escherichia coli serotypes O8 and O9a, WztO8 and WztO9a; these proteins are specific for their cognate polysaccharides (O8 or O9a O-PS).¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € Þ¢€0€0€ €‚ ocd10148, CsoR-like_DUF156, Transcriptional regulators CsoR (copper-sensitive operon repressor), RcnR, and FrmR, and related domains; this domain superfamily was previously known as DUF156. This superfamily includes various transcriptional regulators that respond to stressors including Cu(I), Ni(I), sulfite, and formaldehyde. It includes CsoR (copper-sensitive operon repressor) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MtCsoR), Bacillus subtilis (BsCsoR), Thermus thermophilus (TthCsoR), and Staphylococcus aureus (SaCsoR), Mycobacterium tuberculosis RicR (regulated in copper repressor, MtRicR), Escherichia coli RncR (formally known as YohL, nickel and cobalt-sensitive), Alcaligenes xylosoxidans NreA (nickel-sensitive), E. coli FrmR (formally known as YaiN, formaldehyde sensitive), and Staphylococcus aureus CstR (CsoR-like sulfur transferase repressor, NWMN_0026.5, SaCstR). CsoR is Cu(I)-inducible, and regulates the expression of genes involved in copper homeostasis. For example, TthCsoR binds the promoter region of the copZ-csoR-copA operon, and represses expression of these genes, which encode the copper chaperone CopZ, CsoR, and the copper efflux P-type ATPase CopA, respectively. In the presence of excess Cu(I), TthCsoR binds this ion, and is released from the DNA, allowing expression of the downstream genes. TthCsoR also senses other metal ions such as Cu(II), Zn(II), Ag(I), Cd(II) and Ni(II). CsoRs form a homotetramer (dimer of dimers). In the case of MtCsoR, two Cys residues on opposite subunits within each dimer, along with a His residue, bind the Cu(I) ion. These residues are conserved in the majority of members of this superfamily. Exceptions include the functionally uncharacterized Bacillus subtilis YrkD where there is an Asn instead of His (C-N-C), E.coli RcnR where there is a Thr instead of the second Cys (C-H-T), or TthCsoR and E.coli FrmR where there is a His instead of the second Cys and which have an additional N-terminal His (not found in those family members having C-H-C) that may also be involved in metal binding (H-C-H-H). A conserved Tyr and a Glu residue facilitate allosteric regulation of DNA binding. SaCstR regulates genes predicted to function in sulfur metabolism; it is thought that oxidation of the intersubunit Cys pair to a mixture of disulphide and trisulphide linkages by sulfite, results in a reduced affinity of SaCstR for the operator DNA. SaCstR exists as a mixture of oligomeric states, including dimers, tetramers and octamers. The sequence of SaCstR was not available at the time this hierarchy was curated and therefore was not included. Escherichia coli RncR represses expression of the gene encoding the nickel and cobalt-efflux protein RcnA. The gene encoding Alcaligenes xylosoxidans NreA is part of the nre nickel resistance locus located on the pTOM9 plasmid from thisbacteria. Escherichia coli FrmR regulates the formaldehyde degradation frmRAB operon.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € ¢€0€0€ €‚‘cd10149, ClassIIa_HDAC_Gln-rich-N, Glutamine-rich N-terminal helical domain of various Class IIa histone deacetylases (HDAC4, HDAC5 and HDCA9). This superfamily consists of a glutamine-rich N-terminal helical extension to certain Class IIa histone deacetylases (HDACs), including HDAC4, HDAC5 and HDAC9; it is missing in HDAC7. It is referred to as the glutamine-rich domain, and confers responsiveness to calcium signals and mediates interactions with transcription factors and cofactors. This domain is able to repress transcription independently of the HDAC's C-terminal, zinc-dependent catalytic domain. It has many intra- and inter-helical interactions which are possibly involved in reversible assembly and disassembly of proteins. HDACs regulate diverse cellular processes through enzymatic deacetylation of histone as well as non-histone proteins, in particular deacetylating N(6)-acetyl-lysine residues.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¢€0€0€ €‚\cd10150, CobN_like, CobN subunit of cobaltochelatase, bchH and chlH subunits of magnesium chelatases, and similar proteins. Cobaltochelatase is a complex enzyme that catalyzes the insertion of cobalt into hydrogenobyrinic acid a,c-diamide, resulting in cobyrinic acid, as demonstrated for Pseudomonas denitrificans. This is an essential step in the bacterial synthesis of cobalamine (B12). The insertion of cobalt requires a complex composed of three polypeptides, cobN, cobS, and cobT. Also included in this family are protoporphyrin IX magnesium chelatases involved in the synthesis of chlorophyll and bacteriochlorophyll, specifically the large (chlH or bchH) subunits.They are thought to bind both the protoporphyrin and the magnesium ion. Hydrolysis of ATP by the smaller subunits in the complex may trigger a conformational change that results in the insertion of the ion into the protoporphyrin scaffold. Cryo electron microscopy studies have suggested that a distinct bchH C-terminal domain may bind tightly to the N-terminal domain upon substrate binding, requiring a substantial conformational change of the bchH subunit. It has also been suggested that chlH of higher plants binds abscisic acid via a C-terminal domain and plays a role in abscisic acid signaling, and that the protein spans the chloroplast envelope, with the C-terminus exposed to the cytosol.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € ߢ€0€0€ €‚»¢€0€0€ €‚»cd10225, MreB_like, MreB and similar proteins.

HSP70 chaperones assist in protein folding and assembly, and can direct incompetent "client" proteins towards degradation. Like HSP70 chaperones, HSP105/110s have an N-terminal nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) and a C-terminal substrate-binding domain (SBD). For HSP70 chaperones, the nucleotide sits in a deep cleft formed between the two lobes of the NBD.

The gene encoding HSPA12A maps to 10q26.12, a cytogenetic region that might represent a common susceptibility locus for both schizophrenia and bipolar affective disorder; reduced expression of HSPA12A has been shown in the prefrontal cortex of subjects with schizophrenia. HSPA12A is also a candidate gene for forelimb-girdle muscular anomaly, an autosomal recessive disorder of Japanese black cattle. HSPA12A is predominantly expressed in neuronal cells. It may also play a role in the atherosclerotic process. The gene encoding HSPA12B maps to 20p13. HSPA12B is predominantly expressed in endothelial cells, is required for angiogenesis, and may interact with known angiogenesis mediators. It may be important for host defense in microglia-mediated immune response. HSPA12B expression is up-regulated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory response in the spinal cord, and mostly located in active microglia; this induced expression may be regulated by activation of MAPK-p38, ERK1/2 and SAPK/JNK signaling pathways.

Mammalian HYOU1 functions as a nucleotide exchange factor (NEF) for HSPA5 (alos known as BiP, Grp78 or HspA5) and may also function as a HSPA5-independent chaperone. S. cerevisiae Lhs1p, does not have a detectable endogenous ATPase activity like canonical HSP70s, but functions as a NEF for Kar2p; it's interaction with Kar2p is stimulated by nucleotide-binding. In addition, Lhs1p has a nucleotide-independent holdase activity that prevents heat-induced aggregation of proteins in vitro.

Glucose dehydrogenase converts D-glucose to D-glucono-1,5-lactone in a reaction that is coupled with the respiratory chain in the periplasmic oxidation of sugars and alcohols in gram-negative bacteria.

This subfamily includes Neisseria meningitides Nape and related proteins. These are Escherichia coli exonuclease III (ExoIII)-like AP endonucleases and belong to the large EEP (exonuclease/endonuclease/phosphatase) superfamily that contains functionally diverse enzymes that share a common catalytic mechanism of cleaving phosphodiester bonds. AP endonucleases participate in the DNA base excision repair (BER) pathway. AP sites are one of the most common lesions in cellular DNA. During BER the damaged DNA is first recognized by DNA glycosylase. AP endonucleases then catalyze the hydrolytic cleavage of the phosphodiester bond 5' to the AP site, and this is followed by the coordinated actions of DNA polymerase, deoxyribose phosphatase, and DNA ligase. If left unrepaired, AP sites block DNA replication, and have both mutagenic and cytotoxic effects. AP endonucleases can carry out a variety of excision and incision reactions on DNA, including 3'-5' exonuclease, 3'-deoxyribose phosphodiesterase, 3'-phosphatase, and occasionally, nonspecific DNase activities. Different AP endonuclease enzymes catalyze the different reactions with different efficiences. Many organisms have two AP endonucleases, usually one is the dominant AP endonuclease, the other has weak AP endonuclease activity; for example, Neisseria meningitides Nape and NExo. Nape, found in this subfamily, is the dominant AP endonuclease. It exhibits strong AP endonuclease activity, and also exhibits 3'-5'exonuclease and 3'-deoxyribose phosphodiesterase activities.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Ø¢€0€0€ €‚·cd10282, DNase1, Deoxyribonuclease 1. Deoxyribonuclease 1 (DNase1, EC 3.1.21.1), also known as DNase I, is a Ca2+, Mg2+/Mn2+-dependent secretory endonuclease, first isolated from bovine pancreas extracts. It cleaves DNA preferentially at phosphodiester linkages next to a pyrimidine nucleotide, producing 5'-phosphate terminated polynucleotides with a free hydroxyl group on position 3'. It generally produces tetranucleotides. DNase1 substrates include single-stranded DNA, double-stranded DNA, and chromatin. This enzyme may be responsible for apoptotic DNA fragmentation. Other deoxyribonucleases in this subfamily include human DNL1L (human DNase I lysosomal-like, also known as DNASE1L1, Xib, and DNase X ), human DNASE1L2 (also known as DNAS1L2), and DNASE1L3 (also known as DNAS1L3, nhDNase, LS-DNase, DNase Y, and DNase gamma) . DNASE1L3 is implicated in apoptotic DNA fragmentation. DNase I is also a cytoskeletal protein which binds actin. A recombinant form of human DNase1 is used as a mucoactive therapy in patients with cystic fibrosis; it hydrolyzes the extracellular DNA in sputum and reduces its viscosity. Mutations in the gene encoding DNase1 have been associated with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, a multifactorial autoimmune disease.

Growth hormone (GH) or somatotropin is a peptide hormone synthesized by the pituitary gland, which mediates anabolic effects in development. GH is known to activate, via binding to specific cellular receptors, the MAPK/ERK and JAK-STAT signaling pathways. Via the latter, it triggers the secretion of insulin-like growth factor 1 (mostly in the liver). Besides increasing body height, GH has been shown to have a host of other effects.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €#¢€0€0€ €‚Ocd10286, somatolactin, Somatolactin (SL) and somatolactin-like proteins.

These are roles in growth and development, metamorphosis, metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates, and steroids, brain biochemistry and even immunoregulation, among others.

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. GSTs also show GSH peroxidase activity and are involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. The GST active site is located in a cleft between the N- and C-terminal domains. GSH binds to the N-terminal domain while the hydrophobic substrate occupies a pocket in the C-terminal domain. YfcG is one of nine GST homologs in Escherichia coli. It is expressed predominantly during the late stationary phase where the predominant form of GSH is glutathionylspermidine (GspSH), suggesting that YfcG might interact with GspSH. It has very low or no GSH transferase or peroxidase activity, but displays a unique disulfide bond reductase activity that is comparable to thioredoxins (TRXs) and glutaredoxins (GRXs). However, unlike TRXs and GRXs, YfcG does not contain a redox active cysteine residue and may use a bound thiol disulfide couple such as 2GSH/GSSG for activity.

Glutathione S-transferase (GST) C-terminal domain family, Ure2p subfamily; composed of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ure2p and related fungal proteins. Ure2p is a regulator for nitrogen catabolism in yeast. It represses the expression of several gene products involved in the use of poor nitrogen sources when rich sources are available. A transmissible conformational change of Ure2p results in a prion called [Ure3], an inactive, self-propagating and infectious amyloid. Ure2p displays a GST fold containing an N-terminal thioredoxin-fold domain and a C-terminal alpha helical domain. The N-terminal thioredoxin-fold domain is sufficient to induce the [Ure3] phenotype and is also called the prion domain of Ure2p.

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) comprise a family of enzymes that catalyze the coupling of amino acids with their matching tRNAs. This involves the formation of an aminoacyl adenylate using ATP, followed by the transfer of the activated amino acid to the 3'-adenosine moiety of the tRNA. AaRSs may also be involved in translational and transcriptional regulation, as well as in tRNA processing. They typically form large stable complexes with other proteins. ValRS forms a stable complex with Elongation Factor-1H (EF-1H), and together, they catalyze consecutive steps in protein biosynthesis, tRNA aminoacylation and its transfer to EF. The GST_C-like domain of ValRS from higher eukaryotes is likely involved in protein-protein interactions, to mediate the formation of the multi-aaRS complex that acts as a molecular hub to coordinate protein synthesis.

Structures of soluble CLICs reveal that they adopt a fold similar to GSTs, containing an N-terminal domain with a thioredoxin fold and a C-terminal alpha helical domain. CLIC4, also known as p64H1, is expressed ubiquitously and its localization varies depending on the nature of the cells and tissues, from the plasma membrane to subcellular compartments including the nucleus, mitochondria, ER, and the trans-Golgi network, among others. In response to cellular stress such as DNA damage and senescence, cytoplasmic CLIC4 translocates to the nucleus, where it acts on the TGF-beta pathway.

CLIC5 exists in two alternatively-spliced isoforms, CLIC5A or CLIC5B (also called p64). It is expressed at high levels in hair cell stereocilia and is associated with the actin cytoskeleton and ezrin. A recessive mutation in the CLIC5 gene in mice led to the lack of coordination and deafness, due to a defect in the basal region of the hair bundle causing stereocilia to degrade. CLIC5 is therefore essential for normal inner ear function. CLIC5 is also highly expressed in podocytes where it is colocalized with the ezrin/radixin/moesin (ERM) complex.

Soluble CLIC1 is monomeric and adopts a fold similar to GSTs, containing an N-terminal domain with a thioredoxin 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. CLIC1 is widely expressed in many tissues and its subcellular localization is dependent on cell type and cell cycle phase.

AaRSs may also be involved in translational and transcriptional regulation, as well as in tRNA processing. MetRS is a class I aaRS, containing a Rossman fold catalytic core. It recognizes the initiator tRNA as well as the Met-tRNA for protein chain elongation. The GST_C-like domain of MetRS from higher eukaryotes is likely involved in protein-protein interactions, to mediate the formation of the multi-aaRS complex that acts as a molecular hub to coordinate protein synthesis. AaRSs from prokaryotes, which are active as dimers, do not contain this GST_C-like domain.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Ä¢€0€0€ €‚§cd10308, GST_C_eEF1b_like, Glutathione S-transferase C-terminal-like, alpha helical domain of eukaryotic translation Elongation Factor 1 beta. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) C-terminal domain family, eukaryotic translation Elongation Factor 1 beta (eEF1b) subfamily; eEF1b is a component of the eukaryotic translation elongation factor-1 (EF1) complex which plays a central role in the elongation cycle during protein biosynthesis. 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. eEF1b contains a GST_C-like alpha helical domain at the N-terminal region and a C-terminal guanine nucleotide exchange domain.

This family contains the C-terminal domain of FAM20A, -B, -C and related proteins. FAM20A may participate in enamel development and gingival homeostasis, FAM20B in proteoglycan production, and FAM20C in bone development. FAM20B is a xylose kinase that may regulate the number of glycosaminoglycan chains by phosphorylating the xylose residue in the glycosaminoglycan-protein linkage region of proteoglycans. FAM20C, also called Dentin Matrix Protein 4, is abundant in the dentin matrix, and may participate in the differentiation of mesenchymal precursor cells into functional odontoblast-like cells.

Pullulan is a polysaccharide in which alpha-1,4 linked maltotriosyl units are combined via an alpha-1,6 linkage. These enzymes are of importance in the starch industry, where they are used to hydrolyze amylopectin starch.

RGL4 consists of three domains, an N-terminal catalytic domain, a middle domain with a FNIII type fold and a C-terminal domain with a jelly roll fold. Both the middle domain represented by this model and the C-terminal domain are putative carbohydrate binding modules.

Ephrin receptors (EphRs) comprise the largest subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). They are subdivided into 2 groups, A and B type receptors, depending on their ligand ephrin-A or ephrin-B, respectively. In general, class EphA receptors bind GPI-anchored ephrin-A ligands. There are ten vertebrate EphA receptors (EphA1-10), which display promiscuous interactions with six ephrin-A ligands. Class EphB receptors bind to transmembrane ephrin-B ligands. There are six vertebrate EhpB receptors (EphB1-6), which display promiscuous interactions with three ephrin-B ligands. One exception is EphB2, which also interacts with ephrin A5. EphRs contain a ligand binding domain and two fibronectin repeats extracellularly, a transmembrane segment, and a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain. Binding of the ephrin ligand to EphR requires cell-cell contact since both are anchored to the plasma membrane. The resulting downstream signals occur bidirectionally in both EphR-expressing cells (forward signaling) and ephrin-expressing cells (reverse signaling). Ephrin/EphR interaction mainly results in cell-cell repulsion or adhesion, making it important in neural development and plasticity, cell morphogenesis, cell-fate determination, embryonic development, tissue patterning, and angiogenesis.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'¢€0€0€ €‚’cd10320, RGL4_N, N-terminal catalytic domain of rhamnogalacturonan lyase, a family 4 polysaccharide lyase.

This RNase domain is found in the multi-functional protein Ire1; Ire1 also contains a type I transmembrane serine/threonine protein kinase (STK) domain, and a Luminal dimerization domain. Ire1 is essential for the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) unfolded protein response (UPR). The UPR is activated when protein misfolding is detected in the ER in order to reduce the synthesis of new proteins and increase the capacity of the ER to cope with the stress. IRE1 acts as an ER stress sensor; IRE1 dimerizes through its N-terminal luminal domain and forms oligomers, promoting trans-autophosphorylation by its cytosolic kinase domain which stimulates its endoribonuclease (RNase) activity and results in the cleavage of its mRNA substrate, Hac1 in yeast and Xbp1 in metazoans, thus promoting a splicing event that enables translation into a transcription factor which activates the UPR. This RNase domain is also found in Ribonuclease L (RNase L), sometimes referred to as the 2-5A-dependent RNase. RNase L is a highly regulated, latent endoribonuclease widely expressed in most mammalian tissues. It is involved in the mediation of the antiviral and pro-apoptotic activities of the interferon-inducible 2-5A system; the interferon (IFN)-inducible 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase (OAS)/RNase L pathway blocks infections by certain types of viruses through cleavage of viral and cellular single-stranded RNA. RNase L has been shown to have an impact on the pathogenesis of prostate cancer; the RNase L gene, RNASEL, has been identified as a strong candidate for the hereditary prostate cancer 1 (HPC1) allele.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € 0¢€0€0€ €‚Qcd10322, SLC5sbd, Solute carrier 5 family, sodium/glucose transporters and related proteins; solute-binding domain.

This family represents the solute-binding domain of SLC6 proteins (also called the sodium- and chloride-dependent neurotransmitter transporter family or Na+/Cl--dependent transporter family). These use sodium and chloride electrochemical gradients to catalyze the thermodynamically uphill movement of a variety of substrates, and include neurotransmitter transporters (NTTs). The latter are Na+/Cl--dependent plasma membrane transporters for the monoamine neurotransmitters serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine), dopamine, and norepinephrine, and the amino acid neurotransmitters GABA and glycine. NTTs are widely expressed in the mammalian brain, and are involved in regulating neurotransmitter signaling and homeostasis, through facilitating the uptake of released neurotransmitters from the extracellular space into neurons and glial cells. NTTs are the target of a range of therapeutic drugs for the treatment of psychiatric diseases, such as major depression, anxiety disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and epilepsy. In addition, they are the primary targets of cocaine, amphetamines and other psychostimulants. This family also includes Drosophila Blot which is expressed primarily in epithelial tissues of ectodermal origin and in the nervous system of the embryo and larvae, but in addition found in the developing oocyte and the freshly laid egg. A lack or reduction of Blot function during oogenesis results in early arrest of embryonic development. 12 transmembrane helices (TMs) appears to be common for eukaryotic and some prokaryotic and archaeal SLC6s, (a core inverted topology repeat, TM1-5 and TM6-10, plus TMs11-12; TMs numbered to conform to the SLC6 Aquifex aeolicus LeuT), although a majority of bacterial, and some archaeal SLC6s lack TM12, for example the functional Fusobacterium nucleatum tyrosine transporter Tyt1.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €#ÿ¢€0€0€ €‚mcd10325, SLC5sbd_vSGLT, Vibrio parahaemolyticus Na(+)/galactose cotransporter (vSGLT) and related proteins; solute binding domain. vSGLT transports D-galactose, D-glucose, and alpha-D-fucose, with a sugar specificity in the order of D-galactose >D-fucose >D-glucose.

SLAP belongs to the subfamily of adapter proteins that negatively regulate cellular signaling initiated by tyrosine kinases. It has a myristylated N-terminus, SH3 and SH2 domains with high homology to Src family tyrosine kinases, and a unique C-terminal tail, which is important for c-Cbl binding. SLAP negatively regulates platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-induced mitogenesis in fibroblasts and regulates F-actin assembly for dorsal ruffles formation. c-Cbl mediated SLAP inhibition towards actin remodeling. Moreover, SLAP enhanced PDGF-induced c-Cbl phosphorylation by SFK. In contrast, SLAP mitogenic inhibition was not mediated by c-Cbl, but it rather involved a competitive mechanism with SFK for PDGF-receptor (PDGFR) association and mitogenic signaling. Accordingly, phosphorylation of the Src mitogenic substrates Stat3 and Shc were reduced by SLAP. Thus, we concluded that SLAP regulates PDGFR signaling by two independent mechanisms: a competitive mechanism for PDGF-induced Src mitogenic signaling and a non-competitive mechanism for dorsal ruffles formation mediated by c-Cbl. SLAP is a hematopoietic adaptor containing Src homology (SH)3 and SH2 motifs and a unique carboxy terminus. Unlike c-Src, SLAP lacks a tyrosine kinase domain. Unlike c-Src, SLAP does not impact resorptive function of mature osteoclasts but induces their early apoptosis. SLAP negatively regulates differentiation of osteoclasts and proliferation of their precursors. Conversely, SLAP decreases osteoclast death by inhibiting activation of caspase 3. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €?¢€0€0€ €‚5cd10345, SH2_C-SH2_Zap70_Syk_like, C-terminal Src homology 2 (SH2) domain found in Zeta-chain-associated protein kinase 70 (ZAP-70) and Spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) proteins. ZAP-70 and Syk comprise a family of hematopoietic cell specific protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) that are required for antigen and antibody receptor function. ZAP-70 is expressed in T and natural killer (NK) cells and Syk is expressed in B cells, mast cells, polymorphonuclear leukocytes, platelets, macrophages, and immature T cells. They are required for the proper development of T and B cells, immune receptors, and activating NK cells. They consist of two N-terminal Src homology 2 (SH2) domains and a C-terminal kinase domain separated from the SH2 domains by a linker or hinge region. Phosphorylation of both tyrosine residues within the Immunoreceptor Tyrosine-based Activation Motifs (ITAM; consensus sequence Yxx[LI]x(7,8)Yxx[LI]) by the Src-family PTKs is required for efficient interaction of ZAP-70 and Syk with the receptor subunits and for receptor function. ZAP-70 forms two phosphotyrosine binding pockets, one of which is shared by both SH2 domains. In Syk the two SH2 domains do not form such a phosphotyrosine-binding site. The SH2 domains here are believed to function independently. In addition, the two SH2 domains of Syk display flexibility in their relative orientation, allowing Syk to accommodate a greater variety of spacing sequences between the ITAM phosphotyrosines and singly phosphorylated non-classical ITAM ligands. This model contains the C-terminus SH2 domains of both Syk and Zap70. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction.

SH2B family members contain a pleckstrin homology domain, at least one dimerization domain, and a C-terminal SH2 domain which binds to phosphorylated tyrosines in a variety of tyrosine kinases. SH2B1 and SH2B2 function in signaling pathways found downstream of growth hormone receptor and receptor tyrosine kinases, including the insulin, insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), nerve growth factor, hepatocyte growth factor, and fibroblast growth factor receptors. SH2B2beta, a new isoform of SH2B2, is an endogenous inhibitor of SH2B1 and/or SH2B2 (SH2B2alpha), negatively regulating insulin signaling and/or JAK2-mediated cellular responses. SH2B3 negatively regulates lymphopoiesis and early hematopoiesis. The lnk-deficiency results in enhanced production of B cells, and expansion as well as enhanced function of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), demonstrating negative regulatory functions of Sh2b3/Lnk in cytokine signaling. Sh2b3/Lnk also functions in responses controlled by cell adhesion and in crosstalk between integrin- and cytokine-mediated signaling. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction.

Chimerins are a family of phorbol ester- and diacylglycerol-responsive GTPase-activating proteins. Alpha1-chimerin (formerly known as n-chimerin) and alpha2-chimerin are alternatively spliced products of a single gene, as are beta1- and beta2-chimerin. alpha1- and beta1-chimerin have a relatively short N-terminal region that does not encode any recognizable domains, whereas alpha2- and beta2-chimerin both include a functional SH2 domain that can bind to phosphotyrosine motifs within receptors. All of the isoforms contain a GAP domain with specificity in vitro for Rac1 and a diacylglycerol (DAG)-binding C1 domain which allows them to translocate to membranes in response to DAG signaling and anchors them in close proximity to activated Rac. Other C1 domain-containing diacylglycerol receptors including: PKC, Munc-13 proteins, phorbol ester binding scaffolding proteins involved in Ca2+-stimulated exocytosis, and RasGRPs, diacylglycerol-activated guanine-nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) for Ras and Rap1.

RasGAP is part of the GAP1 family of GTPase-activating proteins. The protein is located in the cytoplasm and stimulates the GTPase activity of normal RAS p21, but not its oncogenic counterpart. Acting as a suppressor of RAS function, the protein enhances the weak intrinsic GTPase activity of RAS proteins resulting in RAS inactivation, thereby allowing control of cellular proliferation and differentiation. Mutations leading to changes in the binding sites of either protein are associated with basal cell carcinomas. Alternative splicing results in two isoforms. The shorter isoform which lacks the N-terminal hydrophobic region, has the same activity, and is expressed in placental tissues. In general the longer isoform contains 2 SH2 domains, a SH3 domain, a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, and a calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding C2 domain. The C-terminus contains the catalytic domain of RasGap which catalyzes the activation of Ras by hydrolyzing GTP-bound active Ras into an inactive GDP-bound form of Ras.

DAPP1/Bam32 contains a putative myristoylation site at its N-terminus, followed by a SH2 domain, and a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain at its C-terminus. DAPP1 could potentially be recruited to the cell membrane by any of these domains. Its putative myristoylation site could facilitate the interaction of DAPP1 with the lipid bilayer. Its SH2 domain may also interact with phosphotyrosine residues on membrane-associated proteins such as activated tyrosine kinase receptors. And finally its PH domain exhibits a high-affinity interaction with the PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) PtdIns(3,4)P(2) second messengers produced at the cell membrane following the activation of PI 3-kinases. DAPP1 is thought to interact with both tyrosine phosphorylated proteins and 3-phosphoinositides and therefore may play a role in regulating the location and/or activity of such proteins(s) in response to agonists that elevate PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) and PtdIns(3,4)P(2). This protein is likely to play an important role in triggering signal transduction pathways that lie downstream from receptor tyrosine kinases and PI 3-kinase. It is likely that DAPP1 functions as an adaptor to recruit other proteins to the plasma membrane in response to extracellular signals. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction.

A database search of the Dictyostelium discoideum genome revealed two additional putative STAT sequences, dd-STATb and dd-STATd, and four additional putative SHK genes, dd-SHK2 (shkB), dd-SHK3 (shkC), dd-SHK4 (shkD), and dd-SHK5 (shkE). This model contains members of shkA and shkC. All of the SHK members are most closely related to the protein kinases found in plants. However these kinases in plants are not conjugated to any SH2 or SH2-like sequences. Alignment data indicates that the SHK SH2 domains carry some features of the STAT SH2 domains in Dictyostelium.

SHK's linker domain is predicted to contain an alpha-helix which is indeed homologous to that of STAT. Based on the phylogenetic alignment, SH2 domains can be grouped into two categories, STAT-type and Src-type. SHK family members are in between, but are closer to the STAT-type which indicates a close relationship between SHK and STAT families in their SH2 domains and further supports the notion that SHKs linker-SH2 domain evolved from STAT or STATL (STAT-like Linker-SH2) domain found in plants.

Human protein-tyrosine kinase-6 (PTK6, also known as breast tumor kinase (Brk)) is a member of the non-receptor protein-tyrosine kinase family and is expressed in two-thirds of all breast tumors. PTK6 (9). PTK6 contains a SH3 domain, a SH2 domain, and catalytic domains. For the case of the non-receptor protein-tyrosine kinases, the SH2 domain is typically involved in negative regulation of kinase activity by binding to a phosphorylated tyrosine residue near to the C terminus. The C-terminal sequence of PTK6 (PTSpYENPT where pY is phosphotyrosine) is thought to be a self-ligand for the SH2 domain. The structure of the SH2 domain resembles other SH2 domains except for a centrally located four-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet (strands betaA, betaB, betaC, and betaD). There are also differences in the loop length which might be responsible for PTK6 ligand specificity. There are two possible means of regulation of PTK6: autoinhibitory with the phosphorylation of Tyr playing a role in its negative regulation and autophosphorylation at this site, though it has been shown that PTK6 might phosphorylate signal transduction-associated proteins Sam68 and signal transducing adaptor family member 2 (STAP/BKS) in vivo.

The adaptor protein 3BP2/SH3BP2 plays a regulatory role in signaling from immunoreceptors. The protein-tyrosine kinase Syk phosphorylates 3BP2 which results in the activation of Rac1 through the interaction with the SH2 domain of Vav1 and induces the binding to the SH2 domain of the upstream protein-tyrosine kinase Lyn and enhances its kinase activity. 3BP2 has a positive regulatory role in IgE-mediated mast cell activation. In lymphocytes, engagement of T cell or B cell receptors triggers tyrosine phosphorylation of 3BP2. Suppression of the 3BP2 expression by siRNA results in the inhibition of T cell or B cell receptor-mediated activation of NFAT. 3BP2 is required for the proliferation of B cells and B cell receptor signaling. Mutations in the 3BP2 gene are responsible for cherubism resulting in excessive bone resorption in the jaw. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction.

Srm is a nonreceptor protein kinase that has two SH2 domains, a SH3 domain, and a kinase domain with a tyrosine residue for autophosphorylation. However it lacks an N-terminal glycine for myristoylation and a C-terminal tyrosine which suppresses kinase activity when phosphorylated. Srm is most similar to members of the Tec family who other members include: Tec, Btk/Emb, and Itk/Tsk/Emt. However Srm differs in its N-terminal unique domain it being much smaller than in the Tec family and is closer to Src. Srm is thought to be a new family of nonreceptor tyrosine kinases that may be redundant in function. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction.

Fes/Fps/Fer contains three coiled-coil regions, an SH2 (Src-homology-2) and a TK (tyrosine kinase catalytic) domain signature. Members here include: Fps/Fes, Fer, Kin-31, and In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction.

Lck is a member of the Src non-receptor type tyrosine kinase family of proteins. It is expressed in the brain, T-cells, and NK cells. The unique domain of Lck mediates its interaction with two T-cell surface molecules, CD4 and CD8. It associates with their cytoplasmic tails on CD4 T helper cells and CD8 cytotoxic T cells to assist signaling from the T cell receptor (TCR) complex. When the T cell receptor is engaged by the specific antigen presented by MHC, Lck phosphorylase the intracellular chains of the CD3 and zeta-chains of the TCR complex, allowing ZAP-70 to bind them. Lck then phosphorylates and activates ZAP-70, which in turn phosphorylates Linker of Activated T cells (LAT), a transmembrane protein that serves as a docking site for proteins including: Shc-Grb2-SOS, PI3K, and phospholipase C (PLC). The tyrosine phosphorylation cascade culminates in the intracellular mobilization of a calcium ions and activation of important signaling cascades within the lymphocyte, including the Ras-MEK-ERK pathway, which goes on to activate certain transcription factors such as NFAT, NF-kappaB, and AP-1. These transcription factors regulate the production cytokines such as Interleukin-2 that promote long-term proliferation and differentiation of the activated lymphocytes. The N-terminal tail of Lck is myristoylated and palmitoylated and it tethers the protein to the plasma membrane of the cell. Lck also contains a SH3 domain, a SH2 domain, and a C-terminal tyrosine kinase domain. Lck has 2 phosphorylation sites, the first an autophosphorylation site that is linked to activation of the protein and the second which is phosphorylated by Csk, which inhibits it. Lck is also inhibited by SHP-1 dephosphorylation and by Cbl ubiquitin ligase, which is part of the ubiquitin-mediated pathway. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction.

HCK is a member of the Src non-receptor type tyrosine kinase family of proteins and is expressed in hemopoietic cells. HCK is proposed to couple the Fc receptor to the activation of the respiratory burst. It may also play a role in neutrophil migration and in the degranulation of neutrophils. It has two different translational starts that have different subcellular localization. HCK has been shown to interact with BCR gene, ELMO1 Cbl gene, RAS p21 protein activator 1, RASA3, Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptor, ADAM15 and RAPGEF1. Like the other members of the Src family the SH2 domain in addition to binding the target, also plays an autoinhibitory role by binding to its C-terminal tail. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. HCK has a unique N-terminal domain, an SH3 domain, an SH2 domain, a kinase domain and a regulatory tail, as do the other members of the family.

Lyn is a member of the Src non-receptor type tyrosine kinase family of proteins and is expressed in the hematopoietic cells, in neural tissues, liver, and adipose tissue. There are two alternatively spliced forms of Lyn. Lyn plays an inhibitory role in myeloid lineage proliferation. Following engagement of the B cell receptors, Lyn undergoes rapid phosphorylation and activation, triggering a cascade of signaling events mediated by Lyn phosphorylation of tyrosine residues within the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAM) of the receptor proteins, and subsequent recruitment and activation of other kinases including Syk, phospholipase C2 (PLC2) and phosphatidyl inositol-3 kinase. These kinases play critical roles in proliferation, Ca2+ mobilization and cell differentiation. Lyn plays an essential role in the transmission of inhibitory signals through phosphorylation of tyrosine residues within the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIM) in regulatory proteins such as CD22, PIR-B and FC RIIb1. Their ITIM phosphorylation subsequently leads to recruitment and activation of phosphatases such as SHIP-1 and SHP-1 which further down modulate signaling pathways, attenuate cell activation and can mediate tolerance. Lyn also plays a role in the insulin signaling pathway. Activated Lyn phosphorylates insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) leading to an increase in translocation of Glut-4 to the cell membrane and increased glucose utilization. It is the primary Src family member involved in signaling downstream of the B cell receptor. Lyn plays an unusual, 2-fold role in B cell receptor signaling; it is essential for initiation of signaling but is also later involved in negative regulation of the signal. Lyn has a unique N-terminal domain, an SH3 domain, an SH2 domain, a kinase domain and a regulatory tail, as do the other members of the family.

Src is a member of the Src non-receptor type tyrosine kinase family of proteins. Src is thought to play a role in the regulation of embryonic development and cell growth. Members here include v-Src and c-Src. v-Src lacks the C-terminal inhibitory phosphorylation site and is therefore constitutively active as opposed to normal cellular src (c-Src) which is only activated under certain circumstances where it is required (e.g. growth factor signaling). v-Src is an oncogene whereas c-Src is a proto-oncogene. c-Src consists of three domains, an N-terminal SH3 domain, a central SH2 domain and a tyrosine kinase domain. The SH2 and SH3 domains work together in the auto-inhibition of the kinase domain. The phosphorylation of an inhibitory tyrosine near the c-terminus of the protein produces a binding site for the SH2 domain which then facilitates binding of the SH3 domain to a polyproline site within the linker between the SH2 domain and the kinase domain. Binding of the SH3 domain inactivates the enzyme. This allows for multiple mechanisms for c-Src activation: dephosphorylation of the C-terminal tyrosine by a protein tyrosine phosphatase, binding of the SH2 domain by a competitive phospho-tyrosine residue, or competitive binding of a polyproline binding site to the SH3 domain. Unlike most other Src members Src lacks cysteine residues in the SH4 domain that undergo palmitylation. Serine and threonine phosphorylation sites have also been identified in the unique domains of Src and are believed to modulate protein-protein interactions or regulate catalytic activity. Alternatively spliced forms of Src, which contain 6- or 11-amino acid insertions in the SH3 domain, are expressed in CNS neurons. c-Src has a unique N-terminal domain, an SH3 domain, an SH2 domain, a kinase domain and a regulatory tail, as do the other members of the family.

The protein associates with the p85 subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and interacts with the Fyn-binding protein. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms exist. Fyn is primarily localized to the cytoplasmic leaflet of the plasma membrane. Tyrosine phosphorylation of target proteins by Fyn serves to either regulate target protein activity, and/or to generate a binding site on the target protein that recruits other signaling molecules.

Frk is a nuclear protein and may function during G1 and S phase of the cell cycle and suppress growth. Unlike the other Src members it lacks a glycine at position 2 of SH4 which is important for addition of a myristic acid moiety that is involved in targeting Src PTKs to cellular membranes. FRK and SHB exert similar effects when overexpressed in rat phaeochromocytoma (PC12) and beta-cells, where both induce PC12 cell differentiation and beta-cell proliferation. Under conditions that cause beta-cell degeneration these proteins augment beta-cell apoptosis. The FRK-SHB responses involve FAK and insulin receptor substrates (IRS) -1 and -2. Frk has been demonstrated to interact with retinoblastoma protein. Frk regulates PTEN protein stability by phosphorylating PTEN, which in turn prevents PTEN degradation.

STAT proteins mediate the signaling of cytokines and a number of growth factors from the receptors of these extracellular signaling molecules to the cell nucleus. STATs are specifically phosphorylated by receptor-associated Janus kinases, receptor tyrosine kinases, or cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases. The phosphorylated STAT molecules dimerize by reciprocal binding of their SH2 domains to the phosphotyrosine residues. These dimeric STATs translocate into the nucleus, bind to specific DNA sequences, and regulate the transcription of their target genes. However there are a number of unphosphorylated STATs that travel between the cytoplasm and nucleus and some STATs that exist as dimers in unstimulated cells that can exert biological functions independent of being activated. There are seven mammalian STAT family members which have been identified: STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5 (STAT5A and STAT5B), and STAT6. There are 6 conserved domains in STAT: N-terminal domain (NTD), coiled-coil domain (CCD), DNA-binding domain (DBD), alpha-helical linker domain (LD), SH2 domain, and transactivation domain (TAD). NTD is involved in dimerization of unphosphorylated STATs monomers and for the tetramerization between STAT1, STAT3, STAT4 and STAT5 on promoters with two or more tandem STAT binding sites. It also plays a role in promoting interactions with transcriptional co-activators such as CREB binding protein (CBP)/p300, as well as being important for nuclear import and deactivation of STATs involving tyrosine de-phosphorylation. CCD interacts with other proteins, such as IFN regulatory protein 9 (IRF-9/p48) with STAT1 and c-JUN with STAT3 and is also thought to participate in the negative regulation of these proteins. Distinct genes are bound to STATs via their DBD domain. This domain is also involved in nuclear translocation of activated STAT1 and STAT3 phosphorylated dimers upon cytokine stimulation. LD links the DNA-binding and SH2 domains and is important for the transcriptional activation of STAT1 in response to IFN-gamma. It also plays a role in protein-protein interactions and has also been implicated in the constitutive nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of unphosphorylated STATs in resting cells. The SH2 domain is necessary for receptor association and tyrosine phosphodimer formation. Residues within this domain may be particularly important for some cellular functions mediated by the STATs as well as residues adjacent to this domain. The TAD interacts with several proteins, namely minichromosome maintenance complex component 5 (MCM5), breast cancer 1 (BRCA1) and CBP/p300. TAD also contains a modulatory phosphorylation site that regulates STAT activity and is necessary for maximal transcription of a number of target genes. The conserved tyrosine residue present in the C-terminus is crucial for dimerization via interaction with the SH2 domain upon the interaction of the ligand with the receptor. STAT activation by tyrosine phosphorylation also determines nuclear import and retention, DNA binding to specific DNA elements in the promoters of responsive genes, and transcriptional activation of STAT dimers. In addition to the SH2 domain there is a coiled-coil domain, a DNA binding domain, and a transactivation domain in the STAT proteins. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €[¢€0€0€ €‚xcd10373, SH2_STAT2, Src homology 2 (SH2) domain found in signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 2 proteins. STAT2 is a member of the STAT protein family. In response to interferon, STAT2 forms a complex with STAT1 and IFN regulatory factor family protein p48 (ISGF3G), in which this protein acts as a transactivator, but lacks the ability to bind DNA directly. Transcription adaptor P300/CBP (EP300/CREBBP) has been shown to interact specifically with STAT2, which is thought to be involved in the process of blocking IFN-alpha response by adenovirus. STAT2 has been shown to interact with MED14, CREB-binding protein, SMARCA4, STAT1, IFNAR2, IFNAR1, and ISGF3G.

STAT3 encoded by this gene is a member of the STAT protein family. STAT3 mediates the expression of a variety of genes in response to cell stimuli, and plays a key role in many cellular processes such as cell growth and apoptosis. The small GTPase Rac1 regulates the activity of STAT3 and PIAS3 inhibits it. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described. STAT 3 activation is required for self-renewal of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and is essential for the differentiation of the TH17 helper T cells. Mutations in the STAT3 gene result in Hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome and human cancers. STAT3 has been shown to interact with Androgen receptor, C-jun, ELP2, EP300, Epidermal growth factor receptor, Glucocorticoid receptor, HIF1A, Janus kinase 1, KHDRBS1, Mammalian target of rapamycin, MyoD, NDUFA13, NFKB1, Nuclear receptor coactivator 1, Promyelocytic leukemia protein, RAC1, RELA, RET proto-oncogene, RPA2, Src, STAT1, and TRIP10.

STAT4 mediate signals from the IL-12 receptors. STAT4 is mainly phosphorylated by IL-12-mediated signaling pathway in T cells. STAT4 expression is restricted in myeloid cells, thymus and testis. L-12 is the major cytokine that can activate STAT4, resulting in its tyrosine phosphorylation. The IL-12 receptor has two chains, termed IL-12R 1 and IL-12R 2, and ligand binding results in heterodimer formation and activation of the receptor associated JAK kinases, Jak2 and Tyk2. Phosphorylated STAT4 homo-dimerizes via its SH2 domain, and translocates into nucleus where it can recognize traditional N3 STAT target sequences in IL-12 responsive genes. STAT4 can also be phosphorylated in response to IFN-gamma stimulation through activation of Jak1 and Tyk2 in human. IL-17 can also activate STAT4 in human monocytic leukemia cell lines and IL-2 can induce Jak2 and Stat4 activation in NK cells but not in T cells. T helper 1 (Th1) cells produce IL-2 and IFNgamma, whereas Th2 cells secrete IL-4, IL-5, IL-6 and IL-13. Th1 cells are responsible for cell-mediated/inflammatory immunity and can enhance defenses against infectious agents and cancer, while Th2 cells are essential for humoral immunity and the clearance of parasitic antigens. The most potent factors that can promote Th1 and Th2 differentiation are the cytokines IL-12 and IL-4 respectively Although STAT4 is expressed both in Th1 and Th2 cells, STAT4 can only be phosphorylated by IL-12 which suggests that STAT4 plays an important role in Th1 cell function or development. STAT4 activation leads to Th1 differentiation, including the target genes of STAT4 such as ERM, a transcription factor that belongs to the Ets family of transcription factors. The expression of ERM is specifically induced by IL-12 in wild-type Th1 cells, but not in STAT4-deficient T cells.

STAT5 is a member of the STAT family of transcription factors. Two highly related proteins, STAT5a and STAT5b are encoded by separate genes, but are 90% identical at the amino acid level. Both STAT5a and STAT5b are ubiquitously expressed and functionally interchangeable. Mice lacking either STAT5a or STAT5b have mild defects in prolactin dependent mammary differentiation or sexually dimorphic growth hormone-dependent effects, respectively. Mice lacking both STAT5a and STAT5b exhibit a perinatal lethal phenotype and have multiple defects, including anemia and a virtual absence of B and T lymphocytes.

STAT6 mediate signals from the IL-4 receptor. Unlike the other STAT proteins which bind an IFNgamma Activating Sequence (GAS), STAT6 stands out as having a unique binding site preference. This site consists of a palindromic sequence separated by a 3 bp spacer (TTCNNNG-AA)(N3 site). STAT6 is able to bind the GAS site but only at a low affinity. STAT6 may be an important regulator of mitogenesis when cells respond normally to IL-4. There is speculation that the inappropriate activation of STAT6 is involved in uncontrolled cell growth in an oncogenic state. IFNgamma is a negative regulator of STAT6 dependent transcription of target genes. Bcl-6 is another negative regulator of STAT6 activity. Bcl-6 is a transcriptional repressor normally expressed in germinal center B cells and some T cells. IL-4 signaling via STAT6 initially occurs unopposed, but is then dampened by a negative feedback mechanism through the IL-4/Stat6 dependent induction of SOCS1 expression. The IL-4 dependent aspect of Th2 differentiation requires the activation of STAT6. IL-4 signaling and STAT6 appear to play an important role in the immune response. Recently, it was shown that large scale chromatin remodeling of the IL-4 gene occurs as cells differentiate into Th2 effectors is STAT6 dependent.

The second phosphotransferase domain bears all the hallmarks of a protein kinase, although its structure differs significantly from that of the PTK and threonine/serine kinase family members. JAK1 is a large, widely expressed membrane-associated phosphoprotein. JAK1 is involved in the interferon-alpha/beta and -gamma signal transduction pathways. The reciprocal interdependence between JAK1 and TYK2 activities in the interferon-alpha pathway, and between JAK1 and JAK2 in the interferon-gamma pathway, may reflect a requirement for these kinases in the correct assembly of interferon receptor complexes.

SHB functions in generating signaling compounds in response to tyrosine kinase activation. SHB contains proline-rich motifs, a phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) domain, tyrosine phosphorylation sites, and a SH2 domain. SHB mediates certain aspects of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor-, fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor-, neural growth factor (NGF) receptor TRKA-, T cell receptor-, interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor- and focal adhesion kinase- (FAK) signaling. SRC-like FYN-Related Kinase FRK/RAK (also named BSK/IYK or GTK) and SHB regulate apoptosis, proliferation and differentiation. SHB promotes apoptosis and is also required for proper mitogenicity, spreading and tubular morphogenesis in endothelial cells. SHB also plays a role in preventing early cavitation of embryoid bodies and reduces differentiation to cells expressing albumin, amylase, insulin and glucagon. SHB is a multifunctional protein that has difference responses in different cells under various conditions. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction.

RIN1, a member of the RIN (AKA Ras interaction/interference) family, have multifunctional domains including SH2 and proline-rich (PR) domains in the N-terminal region, and RIN-family homology (RH), VPS9 and Ras-association (RA) domains in the C-terminal region. RIN proteins function as Rab5-GEFs. Previous studies showed that RIN1 interacts with EGF receptors via its SH2 domain and regulates trafficking and degradation of EGF receptors via its interaction with STAM, indicating a vital role for RIN1 in regulating endosomal trafficking of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). RIN1 was first identified as a Ras-binding protein that suppresses the activated RAS2 allele in S. cerevisiae. RIN1 binds to the activated Ras through its carboxyl-terminal domain and this Ras-binding domain also binds to 14-3-3 proteins as Raf-1 does. The SH2 domain of RIN1 are thought to interact with the phosphotyrosine-containing proteins, but the physiological partners for this domain are unknown. The proline-rich domain in RIN1 is similar to the consensus SH3 binding regions. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction.

RIN2, a member of the RIN (AKA Ras interaction/interference) family, have multifunctional domains including SH2 and proline-rich (PR) domains in the N-terminal region, and RIN-family homology (RH), VPS9 and Ras-association (RA) domains in the C-terminal region. RIN proteins function as Rab5-GEFs. Ras induces activation of Rab5 through RIN2, which is a direct downstream target of Ras and a direct upstream regulator of Rab5. In other words it is the binding of the GTP-bound form of Ras to the RA domain of RIN2 that enhances the GEF activity toward Rab5. It is thought that the RA domain negatively regulates the Rab5 GEF activity. In steady state, RIN2 is likely to form a closed conformation by an intramolecular interaction between the RA domain and the Vps9p-like (Rab5 GEF) domain, negatively regulating the Rab5 GEF activity. In the active state, the binding of Ras to the RA domain may reduce the intramolecular interaction and stabilize an open conformation of RIN2. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €q¢€0€0€ €‚cd10395, SH2_RIN3, Src homology 2 (SH2) domain found in Ras and Rab interactor 3 (RIN3)-like proteins. RIN3, a member of the RIN (AKA Ras interaction/interference) family, have multifunctional domains including SH2 and proline-rich (PR) domains in the N-terminal region, and RIN-family homology (RH), VPS9 and Ras-association (RA) domains in the C-terminal region. RIN proteins function as Rab5-GEFs. RIN3 stimulated the formation of GTP-bound Rab31, a Rab5-subfamily GTPase, and formed enlarged vesicles and tubular structures, where it colocalized with Rab31. Transferrin appeared to be transported partly through the RIN3-positive vesicles to early endosomes. RIN3 interacts via its Pro-rich domain with amphiphysin II, which contains SH3 domain and participates in receptor-mediated endocytosis. RIN3, a Rab5 and Rab31 GEF, plays an important role in the transport pathway from plasma membrane to early endosomes. Mutations in the region between the SH2 and RH domain of RIN3 specifically abolished its GEF action on Rab31, but not Rab5. RIN3 was also found to partially translocate the cation-dependent mannose 6-phosphate receptor from the trans-Golgi network to peripheral vesicles and that this is dependent on its Rab31-GEF activity. These data indicate that RIN3 specifically acts as a GEF for Rab31. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction.

Proto-oncogene vav is a member of the Dbl family of guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEF) for the Rho family of GTP binding proteins. All vavs are activated by tyrosine phosphorylation leading to their activation. There are three Vav mammalian family members: Vav1 which is expressed in the hematopoietic system, and Vav2 and Vav3 are more ubiquitously expressed. Vav1 plays a role in T-cell and B-cell development and activation. It has been identified as the specific binding partner of Nef proteins from HIV-1, resulting in morphological changes, cytoskeletal rearrangements, and the JNK/SAPK signaling cascade, leading to increased levels of viral transcription and replication. Vav1 has been shown to interact with Ku70, PLCG1, Lymphocyte cytosolic protein 2, Janus kinase 2, SIAH2, S100B, Abl gene, ARHGDIB, SHB, PIK3R1, PRKCQ, Grb2, MAPK1, Syk, Linker of activated T cells, Cbl gene and EZH2. Vav proteins are involved in several processes that require cytoskeletal reorganization, such as the formation of the immunological synapse (IS), phagocytosis, platelet aggregation, spreading, and transformation. Vavs function as guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) for the Rho/Rac family of GTPases. Vav family members have several conserved motifs/domains including: a leucine-rich region, a leucine-zipper, a calponin homology (CH) domain, an acidic domain, a Dbl-homology (DH) domain, a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, a cysteine-rich domain, 2 SH3 domains, a proline-rich region, and a SH2 domain. Vavs are the only known Rho GEFs that have both the DH/PH motifs and SH2/SH3 domains in the same protein. The leucine-rich helix-loop-helix (HLH) domain is thought to be involved in protein heterodimerization with other HLH proteins and it may function as a negative regulator by forming inactive heterodimers. The CH domain is usually involved in the association with filamentous actin, but in Vav it controls NFAT stimulation, Ca2+ mobilization, and its transforming activity.

Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for Vav2. Vav proteins are involved in several processes that require cytoskeletal reorganization, such as the formation of the immunological synapse (IS), phagocytosis, platelet aggregation, spreading, and transformation. Vavs function as guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) for the Rho/Rac family of GTPases. Vav family members have several conserved motifs/domains including: a leucine-rich region, a leucine-zipper, a calponin homology (CH) domain, an acidic domain, a Dbl-homology (DH) domain, a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, a cysteine-rich domain, 2 SH3 domains, a proline-rich region, and a SH2 domain. Vavs are the only known Rho GEFs that have both the DH/PH motifs and SH2/SH3 domains in the same protein. The leucine-rich helix-loop-helix (HLH) domain is thought to be involved in protein heterodimerization with other HLH proteins and it may function as a negative regulator by forming inactive heterodimers. The CH domain is usually involved in the association with filamentous actin, but in Vav it controls NFAT stimulation, Ca2+ mobilization, and its transforming activity. Acidic domains are involved in protein-protein interactions and contain regulatory tyrosines. The DH domain is a GDP-GTP exchange factor on Rho/Rac GTPases. The PH domain in involved in interactions with GTP-binding proteins, lipids and/or phosphorylated serine/threonine residues. The SH3 domain is involved in localization of proteins to specific sites within the cell interacting with protein with proline-rich sequences. The SH2 domain mediates a high affinity interaction with tyrosine phosphorylated proteins. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €}¢€0€0€ €‚ Ücd10407, SH2_Vav3, Src homology 2 (SH2) domain found in the Vav3 proteins. Proto-oncogene vav is a member of the Dbl family of guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEF) for the Rho family of GTP binding proteins.

There are three Vav mammalian family members: Vav1 which is expressed in the hematopoietic system, and Vav2 and Vav3 are more ubiquitously expressed. Vav3 preferentially activates RhoA, RhoG and, to a lesser extent, Rac1. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.

STAT5 is a member of the STAT family of transcription factors. Two highly related proteins, STAT5a and STAT5b are encoded by separate genes, but are 90% identical at the amino acid level. Both STAT5a and STAT5b are ubiquitously expressed and functionally interchangeable. Mice lacking either STAT5a or STAT5b have mild defects in prolactin dependent mammary differentiation or sexually dimorphic growth hormone-dependent effects, respectively. Mice lacking both STAT5a and STAT5b exhibit a perinatal lethal phenotype and have multiple defects, including anemia and a virtual absence of B and T lymphocytes. STAT proteins mediate the signaling of cytokines and a number of growth factors from the receptors of these extracellular signaling molecules to the cell nucleus. STATs are specifically phosphorylated by receptor-associated Janus kinases, receptor tyrosine kinases, or cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases. The phosphorylated STAT molecules dimerize by reciprocal binding of their SH2 domains to the phosphotyrosine residues. These dimeric STATs translocate into the nucleus, bind to specific DNA sequences, and regulate the transcription of their target genes. However there are a number of unphosphorylated STATs that travel between the cytoplasm and nucleus and some STATs that exist as dimers in unstimulated cells that can exert biological functions independent of being activated. There are seven mammalian STAT family members which have been identified: STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5 (STAT5A and STAT5B), and STAT6. There are 6 conserved domains in STAT: N-terminal domain (NTD), coiled-coil domain (CCD), DNA-binding domain (DBD), alpha-helical linker domain (LD), SH2 domain, and transactivation domain (TAD). NTD is involved in dimerization of unphosphorylated STATs monomers and for the tetramerization between STAT1, STAT3, STAT4 and STAT5 on promoters with two or more tandem STAT binding sites. It also plays a role in promoting interactions with transcriptional co-activators such as CREB binding protein (CBP)/p300, as well as being important for nuclear import and deactivation of STATs involving tyrosine de-phosphorylation. CCD interacts with other proteins, such as IFN regulatory protein 9 (IRF-9/p48) with STAT1 and c-JUN with STAT3 and is also thought to participate in the negative regulation of these proteins. Distinct genes are bound to STATs via their DBD domain. This domain is also involved in nuclear translocation of activated STAT1 and STAT3 phosphorylated dimers upon cytokine stimulation. LD links the DNA-binding and SH2 domains and is important for the transcriptional activation of STAT1 in response to IFN-gamma. It also plays a role in protein-protein interactions and has also been implicated in the constitutive nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of unphosphorylated STATs in resting cells. The SH2 domain is necessary for receptor association and tyrosine phosphodimer formation. Residues within this domain may be particularly important for some cellular functions mediated by the STATs as well as residues adjacent to this domain. The TAD interacts with several proteins, namely minichromosome maintenance complex component 5 (MCM5), breast cancer 1 (BRCA1) and CBP/p300. TAD also contains a modulatory phosphorylation site that regulates STAT activity and is necessary for maximal transcription of a number of target genes. The conserved tyrosine residue present in the C-terminus is crucial for dimerization via interaction with the SH2 domain upon the interaction of the ligand with the receptor. STAT activation by tyrosine phosphorylation also determines nuclear import and retention, DNA binding to specific DNA elements in the promoters of responsive genes, and transcriptional activation of STAT dimers. In addition to the SH2 domain there is a coiled-coil domain, a DNA binding domain, and a transactivation domain in the STAT proteins. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction.

The model represents the C-terminal endoribonuclease domain of the multi-functional protein Ire1; Ire1 in addition contains a type I transmembrane serine/threonine protein kinase (STK) domain, and a Luminal dimerization domain. Ire1 is essential for the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) unfolded protein response (UPR), which acts as an ER stress sensor and is the oldest and most conserved component of the UPR in eukaryotes. During ER stress, IRE1 dimerizes through its N-terminal luminal domain and forms oligomers, promoting trans-autophosphorylation by its cytosolic kinase domain. This leads to a conformational change that stimulates its endoribonuclease (RNase) activity and results in the cleavage of its mRNA substrate, Hac1 in yeast and Xbp1 in metazoans, thus promoting a splicing event that enables translation into a transcription factor which activates the UPR. This RNase domain is homologous to the RNase domain of RNase L, and possesses a novel fold for a nuclease and appears to be rigid irrespective of the activation state of IRE1. Structural analysis and mutational studies have revealed that an early stage 'phosphoryl-transfer' competent conformation of IRE1 favors face-to-face dimerization of the kinase domains which precedes and is distinct from the RNase 'active' back-to-back conformation. Furthermore, in yeast IRE1, the flavonol quercetin activates the RNase and potentiates activation of the protein kinase by ADP, hinting at the possible existence of endogenous cytoplasmic ligands that may function along with stress signals from ER lumen in order to modulate IRE1 activity, thus identifying IRE1 as a target for development of ATP-competitive inhibitors to modulate the UPR with specific relevance for multiple myeloma.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € 1¢€0€0€ €‚»cd10423, RNase_RNase-L, RNase domain (also known as the kinase extension nuclease domain) of RNase L. Ribonuclease L (RNase L), sometimes referred to as the 2-5A-dependent RNase, is a highly regulated, latent endoribonuclease (thus the 'L' in RNase L) and is widely expressed in most mammalian tissues. It is involved in the mediation of the antiviral and pro-apoptotic activities of the interferon-inducible 2-5A system, which blocks infections by certain types of viruses through cleavage of viral and cellular single-stranded RNA. RNase L is unique in that it is composed of three major domains; N-terminus regulatory ankyrin repeat domain (ARD), followed by a linker, a protein kinase (PK)-like domain and a C-terminal ribonuclease (RNase) domain. The RNase domain has homology with IRE1, also containing both a kinase and an endoribonuclease, that functions in the unfolded protein response (UPR). RNase L has been shown to have an impact on the pathogenesis of prostate cancer; the RNase L gene, RNASEL, has been identified as a strong candidate for the hereditary prostate cancer 1 (HPC1) allele. The broad range of biological functions of RNase offers a possibility for RNase L as a therapeutic target.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € 2¢€0€0€ €‚—cd10424, GST_C_9, C-terminal, alpha helical domain of an unknown subfamily 9 of Glutathione S-transferases. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) C-terminal domain family, unknown subfamily 9; composed of uncharacterized proteins with similarity to GSTs. 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. GSTs also show GSH peroxidase activity and are involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. The GST fold contains an N-terminal thioredoxin-fold domain and a C-terminal alpha helical domain, with an active site located in a cleft between the two domains. GSH binds to the N-terminal domain while the hydrophobic substrate occupies a pocket in the C-terminal domain.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €È¢€0€0€ €‚½cd10425, Ephrin-A_Ectodomain, Ectodomain of Ephrin A. Ephrins and their receptors EphR play an important role in cell communication in normal physiology, as well as in disease pathogenesis. Binding of the ephrin (Eph) ligand to EphR requires cell-cell contact, since both molecules are anchored to the plasma membrane. The resulting downstream signals occur bidirectionally in both EphR-expressing cells (forward signaling, depending on Eph kinase activity) and ephrin-expressing cells (reverse signaling). Eph signaling controls cell morphology, adhesion, migration and invasion. Ephrins can be subdivided into 2 groups, A and B, depending on their respective receptors EphA or EphB. The nine human EphA receptors bind to five GPI-linked ephrin-A ligands. Interactions are promiscuous within each class, and some Eph receptors can also bind to ephrins of the other class. All ephrin As contain a highly conserved receptor binding ectodomain described by this model. Although ephrin As do not have a cytoplasmic tail (in contrast to ephrin Bs), they are still capable of downstream activation of Src family kinases and phosphoinositide-3-kinases, most likely involving coreceptors such as neurotrophin receptors.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €÷8¢€0€0€ €‚£cd10426, Ephrin-B_Ectodomain, Ectodomain of Ephrin B.

Ephrins and their receptors EphR play an important role in cell communication in normal physiology, as well as in disease pathogenesis. Binding of the ephrin (Eph) ligand to EphR requires cell-cell contact, since both molecules are anchored to the plasma membrane. The resulting downstream signals occur bidirectionally in both EphR-expressing cells (forward signaling, depending on Eph kinase activity) and ephrin-expressing cells (reverse signaling). Eph signaling controls cell morphology, adhesion, migration and invasion. Ephrins can be subdivided into 2 groups, A and B, depending on their respective receptors EphA or EphB. The nine human EphA receptors bind to five GPI-linked ephrin-A ligands and the five EphB receptors bind to three transmembrane ephrin-B ligands. Interactions are promiscuous within each class, and some Eph receptors can also bind to ephrins of the other class. All ephrin Bs contain a highly conserved receptor binding ectodomain described in this model.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €÷9¢€0€0€ €‚}cd10427, FGGY_GK_1, Uncharacterized subgroup; belongs to the glycerol kinases subfamily of the FGGY family of carbohydrate kinases. This subgroup contains uncharacterized bacterial proteins belonging to the glycerol kinase subfamily of the FGGY family of carbohydrate kinases. The glycerol kinase subfamily includes glycerol kinases (GK; EC 2.7.1.30), and glycerol kinase-like proteins from all three kingdoms of living organisms. Glycerol is an important intermediate of energy metabolism and it plays fundamental roles in several vital physiological processes. GKs are involved in the entry of external glycerol into cellular metabolism. They catalyze the rate-limiting step in glycerol metabolism by transferring a phosphate from ATP to glycerol thus producing glycerol 3-phosphate (G3P) in the cytoplasm. Under different conditions, GKs from different species may exist in different oligomeric states. The monomer of GKs is composed of two large domains separated by a deep cleft that forms the active site. This model includes both the N-terminal domain, which adopts a ribonuclease H-like fold, and the structurally related C-terminal domain.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ꢀ0€0€ €‚ìcd10428, LFG_like, Proteins similar to and including lifeguard (LFG), a putative regulator of apoptosis. Lifeguard (LFG) inhibits Fas-mediated apoptosis and interacts with the death receptor FasR/CD95/Apo1. LFG has been shown to interact with Bax and is supposed to be integral to cellular membranes such as the ER. A close homolog, PP1201 or RECS1, appears located in the Golgi compartment and also interacts with the Fas receptor CD95/Apo1. PP1201 is expressed in response to shear stress.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € ¢€0€0€ €‚Þcd10429, GAAP_like, Golgi antiapoptotic protein. GAAP (or transmembrane BAX inhibitor motif containing 4) is a regulator of apoptosis that is related to the BAX inhibitor (BI)-1 like family of small transmembrane proteins, which have been shown to have an antiapoptotic effect either by stimulating the antiapoptotic function of Bcl-2, a well-characterized oncogene, or by inhibiting the proapoptotic effect of Bax, another member of the Bcl-2 family. Human GAAP has been linked to the modulation of intracellular fluxes of Ca(2+), by suppressing influx from the extracellular medium and reducing release from intracellular stores. A viral homolog (vaccinia virus vGAAP) acts similar to its human counterpart in inhibiting apoptosis.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € ¢€0€0€ €‚cd10430, BI-1, BAX inhibitor (BI)-1. Mammalian members of the BAX inhibitor (BI)-1 like family of small transmembrane proteins have been shown to have an antiapoptotic effect either by stimulating the antiapoptotic function of Bcl-2, a well-characterized oncogene, or by inhibiting the proapoptotic effect of Bax, another member of the Bcl-2 family. Their broad tissue distribution and high degree of conservation suggests an important regulatory role. In plants, BI-1 like proteins play a role in pathogen resistance.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € ¢€0€0€ €‚‡cd10431, GHITM, Growth-hormone inducible transmembrane protein. GHITM appears to be ubiquitiously expressed in mammalian cells and expression has also been observed in various cancer cell lines. A cytoprotective function has been suggested. It is closely related to the BAX inhibitor (BI)-1 like family of small transmembrane proteins, which have been shown to have an antiapoptotic effect.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € ¢€0€0€ €‚cd10432, BI-1-like_bacterial, Bacterial BAX inhibitor (BI)-1/YccA-like proteins. This family is comprised of bacterial relatives of the mammalian members of the BAX inhibitor (BI)-1 like family of small transmembrane proteins, which have been shown to have an antiapoptotic effect either by stimulating the antiapoptotic function of Bcl-2, a well-characterized oncogene, or by inhibiting the proapoptotic effect of Bax, another member of the Bcl-2 family. In plants, BI-1 like proteins play a role in pathogen resistance. A characterized prokaryotic member, Escherichia coli YccA, has been shown to interact with ATP-dependent protease FtsH, which degrades abnormal membrane proteins as part of a quality control mechanism to keep the integrity of biological membranes.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¢€0€0€ €‚Zcd10433, YccA_like, YccA-like proteins. A prokaryotic member of the BAX inhibitor (BI)-1 like family of small transmembrane proteins, Escherichia coli YccA, has been shown to interact with ATP-dependent protease FtsH, which degrades abnormal membrane proteins as part of a quality control mechanism to keep the integrity of biological membranes.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¢€0€0€ €‚ öcd10434, GIY-YIG_UvrC_Cho, Catalytic GIY-YIG domain of nucleotide excision repair endonucleases UvrC, Cho, and similar proteins. UvrC is essential for nucleotide excision repair (NER). The N-terminal catalytic GIY-YIG domain of UvrC (also known as Uri domain) is responsible for the 3' incision reaction and the C-terminal half of UvrC, consisting of an UvrB-binding domain (UvrBb), EndoV-like nuclease domain and a helix-hairpin-helix (HhH) DNA-binding domain, contains the residues involved in 5' incision. The N- and C-terminal regions are joined by a common Cys-rich domain containing four conserved Cys residues. Besides UvrC, protein Cho (UvrC homolog) serves as a second endonuclease in E. coli NER. Cho contains GIY-YIG motif followed by a Cys-rich region and shares sequence homology with the N-terminal half of UvrC. It is capable of incising the DNA at the 3' side of a lesion in the presence of the UvrA and UvrB proteins during NER. The C-terminal half of Cho is a unique uncharacterized domain, which is distinct from that of UvrC. Moreover, unlike UvrC, Cho does not require the UvrC-binding domain of UvrB for the 3' incision reaction, which might cause the shift in incision position and the difference in incision efficiencies between Cho and UvrC on different damaged substrates. Due to this, the range of NER in E. coli can be broadened by combining action of Cho and UvrC. This family also includes many uncharacterized epsilon proofreading subunits of DNA polymerase III, which have an additional N-terminal ExoIII domain and a 3'-5' exonuclease domain homolog, fused to an UvrC-like region or a Cho-like region. The UvrC-like region includes a GIY-YIG motif, followed by a Cys-rich region, and an UvrB-binding domain (UvrBb), but lacks the EndoV-like nuclease domain and the helix-hairpin-helix (HhH) DNA-binding domain. The Cho-like region consists of a GIY-YIG motif, followed by the Cys-rich region, and the unique uncharacterized domain presenting in the C-terminal half of Cho. Some family members may not carry the Cys-rich region. This family also includes a specific Cho-like protein from G. violaceus, which possesses only UvrBb domain at the C-terminus, but lacks the additional N-terminal ExoIII domain. The oother two remote homologs of UvrC, Bacillus-I and -II, are included in this family as well. Both of them contain a GIY-YIG domain, but no Cys-rich region. Moreover, the whole C-terminal region of Bacillus-I is replaces by an unknown domain, and Bacillus-II possesses another unknown N-terminal extension.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €í¢€0€0€ €‚!cd10435, GIY-YIG_RE_Eco29kI_like, Catalytic GIY-YIG domain of type II restriction endonucleases R.Eco29kI, R.Cfr42I, and similar proteins. This family corresponds to the catalytic GIY-YIG domain of a group of GGCGCC-specific type II restriction endonucleases R.Eco29kI, R.Cfr42I, and similar proteins. R.Eco29kI is encoded on plasmid pECO29 in the E. coli strain 29K. This enzyme recognizes the palindromic 5'-CCGC/GG-3' target and cuts between Cyt4 and Gua5 on each strand of the restriction site to generate 3'-staggered ends. R.Eco29kI forms a domain-swapped homodimeric catalytically active complex during DNA binding and cleavage. Each subunit contains one GIY-YIG catalytic motif. Restriction endonucleases R.Cfr42I is an isoschizomer of R.Eco29kI. Unlike R.Eco29kI, R.Cfr42I is functional as a homotetramer, binding and cleaving two cognate DNA molecules in a cooperative manner. Members in this family are single-domain proteins sharing sequence similarities with the catalytic domain of GIY-YIG endonucleases, such as homing endonuclease I-TevI. However, they utilize loop insertions and terminal extensions instead of the separate DNA-binding domain to interact with the target site 5'-CCGC/GG-3'. A divalent metal-ion cofactor is required for their catalysis, but not for substrate binding. This family also includes a hypothetical protein from Deinococcus radiodurans that corresponds to MraI, a type II restriction enzyme similar to GIY-YIG family of homing endonucleases. MraI is shown to be an isoschizomer of Eco29kI, Cfr42I recognizing the palindromic nucleotide sequence 5'-CCGC reduced GG-3'. The enzyme shows an absolute requirement of Mg2+, but is active in the absence of added 2-mercaptoethanol. MraI represents the first restriction enzyme from a bacterium whose DNA lacks modified methylated bases.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €0€0€ €‚Rcd10436, GIY-YIG_EndoII_Hpy188I_like, Catalytic GIY-YIG domain of coliphage T4 non-specific endonuclease II, type II restriction endonuclease R.Hpy188I, and similar proteins. This family includes two different GIY-YIG enzymes, coliphage T4 non-specific endonuclease II (EndoII), and type II restriction endonuclease R.Hpy188I. They display high sequence similarity to each other, and both of them contain an extra N-terminal hairpin that lacks counterparts in other GIY-YIG enzymes. EndoII encoded by gene denA catalyzes the initial step in degradation of host DNA, which permits scavenging of host-derived nucleotides for phage DNA synthesis. R.Hpy188I recognizes the unique sequence, 5'-TCNGA-3', and cleaves the DNA between nucleotides N and G in its recognition sequence to generate a single nucleotide 3'-overhang. EndoII binds to two DNA substrates as an X-shaped tetrameric structure composed as a dimer of dimers. In contrast, two subunits of R.Hpy188I form a dimer to embrace one bound DNA. Divalent metal-ion cofactors are required for their catalytic events, but not for the substrates binding.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €0€0€ €‚´cd10437, GIY-YIG_HE_I-TevI_like, N-terminal catalytic domain of GIY-YIG intron endonuclease I-TevI, I-BmoI, I-BanI, I-BthII and similar proteins. I-TevI is a site-specific GIY-YIG homing endonuclease encoded within the group I intron of the thymidylate synthase gene (td) from Escherichia coli phage T4. It functions as an endonuclease that catalyzes the first step in intron homing by generating a double-strand break in the intronless td allele within a sequence designated the homing site. I-TevI recognizes its extensive 37 base pair DNA target in a site-specific, but sequence-tolerant manner. The cleavage site is located at 23 (upper strand) and 25 (lower strand) nucleotides upstream of the intron insertion site. A divalent cation, such as Mg2+, is required for the catalysis. I-TevI also acts as a repressor of its own transcription. It binds an operator that is located upstream of the I-TevI coding sequence and overlaps the T4 late promoter, which drives I-TevI expression from within the td intron. I-TevI binds the homing sites and the operator with the same affinity, but cleaves the homing site more efficiently than the operator. I-TevI consists of an N-terminal catalytic domain, containing the GIY-YIG motif, and a C-terminal DNA-binding domain that binds DNA as a monomer, joined by a flexible linker. The C-terminal domain includes three subdomains: a zinc finger, a minor-groove binding alpha-helix (NUMOD3, nuclease-associated modular domain 3), and a helix-turn-helix domain (HTH). The last two are responsible for DNA-binding. The zinc finger is part of the linker and not required for DNA-binding. It is implicated as a distance sensor to constrain the catalytic domain to cleave the homing site at a fixed position. None of other GIY-YIG endonucleases have been found to have the zinc finger motif. This family also includes a reduced activity isoschizomer of I-TevI, I-BmoI, which is encoded within the group I intron of the thymidylate synthase (TS) gene (thyA) from Bacillus mojavensis. I-BmoI catalyzes the first step in intron homing by generating a double-strand break in the intronless td allele within a sequence designated the homing site in the presence of a divalent cation cofactor, such as Mg2+. In the absence of Mg2+, I-Bmol only nicks one of the strands. Both I-BmoI and I-TevI bind a homologous stretch of TS-encoding DNA as monomers, but use different strategies to distinguish intronless from intron-containing substrates. I-TevI recognizes substrates at the level of DNA-binding. However, I-BmoI binds both intron-containing and intronless TS-encoding substrates, but efficiently cleaves only intronless substrate. Afterwards they cleave their respective intronless substrates in the same positions, and both require a critical G-C base pair adjacent to the top strand site for efficient cleavage. The C-terminal domain of I-BmoI has nuclease-associated modular DNA-binding domains (NUMODs), but lacks the zinc finger, which is different from that of I-TevI. Although the zinc finger implicated as a distance determination in I-TevI is absent, I-BmoI still possesses some cleavage distance discrimination. Besides I-TevI and I-BmoI, this family contains a putative GIY-YIG homing endonuclease, I-BanI, encoded within the self-splicing group I intron of nrdE gene from Bacillus anthracis. It contains two major domains, the N-terminal GIY-YIG domain and the C-terminal DNA-binding domain that consists of a minor-groove DNA binding alpha-helix motif and a helix-turn-helix (HTH) motif. I-BanI generates a double-strand break (DSB) in the intronless nrdE gene. The cleavage site is located at 5 and 7 nucleotides upstream of the intron insertion site, with 2-nucleotide 3' extensions. The recognition site is 35 to 40 base pairs and covers the cleavage site with a bias toward the downstream region including the (intervening sequence) IVS insertion site. Moreover, this family contains another putative GIY-YIG homing endonuclease, I-BthII, encoded within the self-splicing group I intron of nrdF gene from Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. pakistani. It contains a GIY-YIG motif that generates a double-strand break (DSB) in the intronless nrdF gene. The cleavage site is located at 7 and 9 nucleotides upstream of the intron insertion site, leaving 2-nucleotide 3' extensions. The recognition site is 27 to 29 base pairs with the DSB cleavage site at the 5'-end of the top strand, and with the intervening sequence (IVS) insertion site approximately in the middle of the recognition site.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ð¢€0€0€ €‚Õcd10438, GIY-YIG_MSH, Catalytic GIY-YIG domain of eukaryotic DNA mismatch repair protein MutS homologs. This family represents a putative GIY-YIG nuclease domain C-terminally fused to the DNA-repair ATPase on a small group of eukaryotic DNA mismatch repair protein mutS homologs (MSH). The MSH proteins in this family do not have the zinc finger domain, but have a predicted mitochondrial localization. They might play roles in the recognition and repair of errors made during the replication of DNA. The prototype of this family is the protein encoded by the chloroplast mutator (CHM) locus from Arabidopsis thaliana. It is suggested that this protein could be involved in the maintenance of mitochondrial genome stability.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ñ¢€0€0€ €‚¦cd10439, GIY-YIG_COG3410, GIY-YIG domain of uncharacterized bacterial protein structurally related to COG3410. This family contains a group of uncharacterized bacterial proteins. Although their function roles have not been recognized, these proteins contain a putative GIY-YIG domain in their N-terminus. Moreover, a conserved domain COG3410 with unknown function has been found in the C-terminus of most family members.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ò¢€0€0€ €‚Bcd10440, GIY-YIG_COG3680, GIY-YIG domain of uncharacterized proteins from bacteria and their eukaryotic homologs. This family includes a group of functionally uncharacterized proteins from bacteria and their eukaryotic homologs which are present only in metazoa. These proteins might have nuclease activities and possibly be engaged in DNA repair or recombination, since they share sequence homology with the catalytic GIY-YIG domain of bacterial UvrC DNA repair proteins. Distinct from their prokaryotic relatives, the eukaryotic homologs contain an N-terminal extension that includes the region of approximately 3-4 ankyrin repeats, unique motifs mediating protein-protein interactions. Some of eukaryotic homologs do have an additional LEM domain located between ankyrin repeats region and GIY-YIG domain. The LEM domain, found in inner nuclear membrane proteins, may be involved in protein- or DNA-binding. The different domain composition of the eukaryotic homologs suggests that they might participate in interactions with multiple partners and implies important cellular function.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ó¢€0€0€ €‚ªcd10441, GIY-YIG_COG1833, GIY-YIG domain of hypothetical proteins from archaea and their bacterial homologs. This family includes a group of functionally uncharacterized hypothetical proteins from archaea and their bacterial homologs. These proteins contain a putative GIY-YIG domain that shows sequence homology with bacterial UvrC DNA repair proteins. Meanwhile, all of them share a C-terminal extension with semi-conserved Cys and His residues, which suggests that the extended region may be a zinc-binding nucleic acid interaction domain. Although the majority of family members have a standalone GIY-YIG domain composition, some of them do have additional endonulcease III domain or sugar fermentation stimulation protein domain, both of which are N-terminally fused to the GIY-YIG domain. As a result, those proteins could perform some other role by cooperating with different domains, which remains to be determined in the future.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ô¢€0€0€ €‚êcd10442, GIY-YIG_PLEs, Catalytic GIY-YIG endonuclease domain of penelope-like elements and similar proteins. This model corresponds to the EN domain of PLEs that contains catalytic module of the GIY-YIG endonucleases of group I bacterial/organellar introns, as well as bacterial UvrC DNA repair proteins. It can cleave DNA with low nucleotide sequence specificity. However, the PLEs EN domain is distinct from other GIY-YIG endonucleases by the presence of a well-conserved CCHH motif (CX(2-7)CX(33-39)HX(3-5)H, X can be any residue). The role of the CCHH motif has not yet been identified. Penelope-like elements (PLEs) represent a novel class of eukaryotic retroelements, which do not belong to either long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons or non-LTR retrotransposons (often called LINEs), but instead form a sister clade to telomerase reverse transcriptases (TERTs), highly specialized non-mobile reverse transcriptases (RTs) which are responsible for the addition of telomeric repeats to the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes. The single open reading frame (ORF) encoded by PLE consists of two principal domains, RT domain and endonuclease (EN) domain, jointed by a linker region of variable length. Both of these two domains are functionally active.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €õ¢€0€0€ €‚‘cd10443, GIY-YIG_HE_Tlr8p_PBC-V_like, GIY-YIG domain of uncharacterized hypothetical protein found in phycodnavirus PBCV-1 DNA virus, T. thermophila Tlr element eoncoding protein Tlr8p, and similar proteins found in bacteria. The family includes a group of diverse uncharacterized hypothetical proteins with a GIY-YIG domain that shows statistically significant similarity to the N-terminal catalytic domains of GIY-YIG family of intron-encoded homing endonuclease I-TevI. Similar to I-TevI, family members from phycodnavirus PBCV-1 DNA virus have nuclease-associated modular DNA-binding domains (NUMODs) and a helix-turn-helix (HTH) domain C-terminally fused to the GIY-YIG domain, which suggests that these PBCV-1 acquired the I-TevI-like homing endonucleases from phages by horizontal gene transfer. This family also includes proteins that appear to connect homing endonucleases with Penelope elements, such as Tetrahymena thermophila Tlr element encoding protein Tlr8p that possess additional N-terminal and central structural regions, followed by a putative superfamily 1 helicase domain and I-TevI-like GIY-YIG domain, but lacks the NUMOD domains and HTH domain. It is suggested that the Tlr8p element could have acquired its GIY-YIG domain w ithin the nucleus of the ciliate cell infected by the Phycodnavirus. Some family members only contain a standalone GIY-YIG domain and their biological functions are unclear.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ö¢€0€0€ €‚ ]cd10444, GIY-YIG_SegABCDEFG, N-terminal catalytic GIY-YIG domain of bacteriophage T4 segABCDEFG gene encoding proteins. The prototypes of Seg family are proteins SegA, B, C, D, E, F, and G encoded by five seg genes segA, B, C, D, E, F, and G in the bacteriophage T4 genome, respectively. SegA, B, C, D, E, F, and G are not encoded by introns, but free-standing homologs of the GIY-YIG family of endonucleases encoded by group I introns, which are thought to initiate the homing of their own intron by cleaving the intronless DNA at or near the site of insertion. Both phage T4 intron-encoded and free-standing GIY-YIG endonucleases contribute to the exclusion of T2 markers from the progeny of mixed infections. SegA, encoded by the bacteriophage T4 segA gene, is a double-strand DNA endonulcease with a hierarchy of site specificity. The cleavage site of SegA is located in the uvsX gene of T4. Its cleaving activity requires the presence of Mg2+ and can be stimulated by the presence of ATP or ATPgammaS. Bacteriophage T4 segB gene encoding protein SegB is a site-specific endonuclease that recognizes a 27-bp sequence, cleaves DNA by introdu cing double-strand breaks in the adjacent gene 56 of T2 during mixed infection in the presence of Mg2+, Mn2+, or Ca2+ cations, and produces mostly 3' 2-nt protruding ends at its DNA cleavage site. It functions as a homing endonuclease to ensure spreading of its own gene and the surrounding tRNA genes among T4-related phages. Bacteriophage T4 segE gene encoding SegE is a site-specific endonuclease that preferentially cleaves DNA in a site located at the 5' end of the uvsW gene in the RB30 genome. It is responsible for a non-reciprocal genetic exchange between T-even-related phages. Bacteriophage T4 gene 69 encoding SegF is a site-specific double-strand DNA endonuclease that promotes marker exclusion. It preferentially introduces a double-strand break in the adjacent T2 gene 56 over T4 gene 56 both in vitro and in vivo during mixed infection, which results in the replacement of T2 gene 56 by T4 gene 56 in a process similar to group I intron homing. The cleavage site is located 210- and 212-bp upstream from its insertion site. Bacteriophage T4 segG gene (formerly gene 32.1) encoding SegG (also known as F-TevIV) is a double-strand DNA endonuclease adjacent to gene 32 of phage T4 that promotes marker exclusion. Although it is absent from phage T2, SegG preferentially introduces a double-strand break in T2 gene 32 during mixed infection, which results in replacement of T2 genetic markers by the corresponding T4 markers. The cleavage site is located 332- and 334-bp from its insertion site.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €÷¢€0€0€ €‚]cd10445, GIY-YIG_bI1_like, Catalytic GIY-YIG domain of putative intron-encoded endonuclease bI1 and similar proteins. The prototype of this family is a putative intron-encoded mitochondrial DNA endonuclease bI1 found in mitochondrion Ustilago maydis. This protein may arise from proteolytic cleavage of an in-frame translation of COB exon 1 plus intron 1, containing the bI1 open reading frame. It contains an N-terminal truncated non-functional cytochrome b region and a C-terminal intron-encoded endonuclease bI1 region. The bI1 region shows high sequence similarity to endonucleases of group I introns of fungi and phage and might be involved in intron homing. Many uncharacterized bI1 homologs existing in fungi and chlorophyta in this family do not contain the cytochrome b region, but have a standalone bI1-like region, which contains a GIY-YIG domain and a minor-groove binding alpha-helix nuclease-associated modular domain (NUMOD). This family also includes a Yarrowia lipolytica mobile group-II intron COX1-i1, also called intron alpha, encoding protein with reverse transcriptase activity. The group-II intron COX1-i1 may be involv ed both in the generation of the circular multimeric DNA molecules (senDNA alpha) which amplify during the senescence syndrome and in the generation of the site-specific deletion which accumulates in the premature-death syndrome.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ø¢€0€0€ €‚¬cd10446, GIY-YIG_unchar_1, GIY-YIG domain of uncharacterized hypothetical protein found in bacteria.

Structure-specific endonuclease subunit SLX1 is a highly conserved protein from yeast to human, with an N-terminal GIY-YIG endonuclease domain and a C-terminal PHD-type zinc finger postulated to mediate protein-protein or protein-DNA interaction. SLX1 forms active heterodimeric complexes with its SLX4 partner, which has additional roles in the DNA damage response that are distinct from the function of the heterodimeric SLX1-SLX4 nuclease. In yeast, the SLX1-SLX4 complex functions as a 5' flap endonuclease that maintains ribosomal DNA copy number, where SLX1 and SLX4 are shown to be catalytic and regulatory subunits, respectively. This endonuclease introduces single-strand cuts in duplex DNA on the 3' side of junctions with single-strand DNA. In addition to 5' flap endonuclease activity, human SLX1-SLX4 complex has been identified as a Holliday junction resolvase that promotes symmetrical cleavage of static and migrating Holliday junctions. SLX1 also associates with MUS81, EME1, C20orf94, PLK1, and ERCC1. Some eukaryotic SLX1 homologs lack the zinc finger domain, but possess intrinsically unstructured extensions of unknown function. These unstructured segments might be involved in interactions with other proteins.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ü¢€0€0€ €‚Ìcd10450, GIY-YIG_AtGrxS16_like, GIY-YIG domain found in CAXIP1-like proteins, iron-sulfur cluster assembly proteins, and similar proteins.

This family includes enzymes that are present in vertebrates, Drosophila, plants, bacteria, and archaea.

It is a heterotrimer, with the alpha subunit containing the catalytic center with a molybdenum held by two molybdopterin-guanine dinucleotides, the beta subunit containing four iron-sulfur clusters (the electron transfer subunit) and the gamma subunit containing a methionine and a lysine as axial heme ligands. During catalysis, electrons produced by substrate oxidation are transferred to a heme in the gamma subunit and then presumably to a separate cytochrome involved in nitrate respiration.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €á…¢€0€0€ €‚cd10556, SER_beta, Beta subunit of selenate reductase. This subfamily includes beta FeS subunit of selenate reductase (SER), a member of the DMSO reductase family. SER catalyzes the reduction of selenate to selenite in bacterial species that can obtain energy by respiring anaerobically with selenate as the terminal electron acceptor. The enzyme comprises three subunits SerABC, forming a heterotrimer, with the catalytic component (alpha-subunit), iron-sulfur protein (beta-subunit) and monomeric b-type heme-containing gamma subunit. Beta subunit contains coordinating one [3Fe-4S] cluster and three [4Fe-4S] clusters and functions as electron carrier.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ᆢ€0€0€ €‚ˆcd10557, NarH_beta-like, beta subunit of nitrate reductase A (NarH) and similar proteins. This subfamily includes nitrate reductase A, a member of the DMSO reductase family. The respiratory nitrate reductase complex (NarGHI) from E. coli is a heterotrimer, with the catalytic subunit (NarG) with a molybdo-bis (molybdopterin guanine dinucleotide) cofactor and an [Fe-S] cluster, the electron transfer subunit (NarH) with four [Fe-S] clusters, and the integral membrane subunit (NarI) with two b-type hemes. Nitrate reductase A often forms a respiratory chain with the formate dehydrogenase via the lipid soluble quinol pool. Electron transfer from formate to nitrate is coupled to proton translocation across the cytoplasmic membrane generating proton motive force by a redox loop mechanism. Demethylmenaquinol (DMKH2) has been shown to be a good substrate for NarGHI in nitrate respiration in E. coli.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ᇢ€0€0€ €‚¸cd10558, FDH-N, The beta FeS subunit of formate dehydrogenase-N (FDH-N). This subfamily contains beta FeS subunit of formate dehydrogenase-N (FDH-N), a member of the DMSO reductase family. FDH-N is involved in the major anaerobic respiratory pathway in the presence of nitrate, catalyzing the oxidation of formate to carbon dioxide at the expense of nitrate reduction to nitrite. Thus, FDH-N is a major component of nitrate respiration of Escherichia coli. This integral membrane enzyme forms a heterotrimer; the alpha-subunit (FDH-G) is the catalytic site of formate oxidation and membrane-associated, incorporating a selenocysteine (SeCys) residue and a [4Fe/4S] cluster in addition to two bis-MGD cofactors, the beta subunit (FDH-H) contains four [4Fe/4S] clusters which transfer the electrons from the alpha subunit to the gamma-subunit (FDH-I), a hydrophobic integral membrane protein, presumably a cytochrome containing two b-type heme groups.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ሢ€0€0€ €‚^cd10559, W-FDH, tungsten-containing formate dehydrogenase, small subunit. This subfamily contains beta subunit of Tungsten-containing formate dehydrogenase (W-FDH), a member of the DMSO reductase family. W-FDH contains a tungsten instead of molybdenum at the catalytic center. This enzyme seems to be exclusively found in organisms such as hyperthermophilic archaea that live in extreme environments. It is a heterodimer of a large and a small subunit; the large subunit harbors the W site and one [4Fe-4S] center and the small subunit, containing three [4Fe-4S] clusters, functions to transfer electrons.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ቢ€0€0€ €‚þcd10560, FDH-O_like, beta subunit of formate dehydrogenase O (FDH-O) and similar proteins. This subfamily includes beta subunit of formate dehydrogenase family O (FDH-O), which is highly homologous to formate dehydrogenase N (FDH-N), a member of the DMSO reductase family. In E. coli three formate dehydrogenases are synthesized that are capable of oxidizing formate; Fdh-H, couples formate disproportionation to hydrogen and CO2, and is part of the cytoplasmically oriented formate hydrogenlyase complex, while FDH-N and FDH-O indicate their respective induction after growth with nitrate and oxygen. Little is known about FDH-O, although it shows formate oxidase activity during aerobic growth and is also synthesized during nitrate respiration, similar to FDH-N.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ኢ€0€0€ €‚†cd10561, HybA_like, the FeS subunit of hydrogenase 2. This subfamily includes the beta-subunit of hydrogenase 2 (Hyd-2), an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible oxidation of H2 to protons and electrons. Hyd-2 is membrane-associated and forms an unusual heterotetrameric [NiFe]-hydrogenase in that it lacks the typical cytochrome b membrane anchor subunit that transfers electrons to the quinone pool. The electron transfer subunit of Hyd-2 (HybA) which is predicted to contain four iron-sulfur clusters, is essential for electron transfer from Hyd-2 to menaquinone/demethylmenaquinone (MQ/DMQ) to couple hydrogen oxidation to fumarate reduction.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €á‹¢€0€0€ €‚Ícd10562, FDH_b_like, uncharacterized subfamily of beta subunit of formate dehydrogenase. This subfamily includes the beta-subunit of formate dehydrogenases that are as yet uncharacterized. Members of the DMSO reductase family include formate dehydrogenase N and O (FDH-N, FDH-O) and tungsten-containing formate dehydrogenase (W-FDH) and other similar proteins. FDH-N, a major component of nitrate respiration of Escherichia coli, is involved in the major anaerobic respiratory pathway in the presence of nitrate, catalyzing the oxidation of formate to carbon dioxide at the expense of nitrate reduction to nitrite. It forms a heterotrimer; the alpha-subunit (FDH-G) is the catalytic site of formate oxidation and membrane-associated, incorporating a selenocysteine (SeCys) residue and a [4Fe/4S] cluster in addition to two bis-MGD cofactors, the beta subunit (FDH-H) contains four [4Fe/4S] clusters which transfer the electrons from the alpha subunit to the gamma-subunit (FDH-I), a hydrophobic integral membrane protein, presumably a cytochrome containing two b-type heme groups. W-FDH contains a tungsten instead of molybdenum at the catalytic center. This enzyme seems to be exclusively found in organisms such as hyperthermophilic archaea that live in extreme environments. It is a heterodimer of a large and a small subunit; the large subunit harbors the W site and one [4Fe-4S] center and the small subunit, containing three [4Fe-4S] clusters, functions to transfer electrons.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ጢ€0€0€ €‚€cd10563, CooF_like, CooF, iron-sulfur subunit of carbon monoxide dehydrogenase. This family includes CooF, the iron-sulfur subunit of carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH), found in anaerobic bacteria and archaea. Carbon monoxide dehydrogenase is a key enzyme for carbon monoxide (CO) metabolism, where CooF is the proposed mediator of electron transfer between CODH and the CO-induced hydrogenase, catalyzing the reaction that uses CO as a single carbon and energy source, and producing only H2 and CO2. The ion-sulfur subunit contains four Fe4/S4 and/or Fe3/S4 clusters which transfer the electrons in the protein complex during reaction.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ᢀ0€0€ €‚¹cd10564, NapF_like, NapF, iron-sulfur subunit of periplasmic nitrate reductase. This family contains NapF protein, the iron-sulfur subunit of periplasmic nitrate reductase. The periplasmic nitrate reductase NapABC of Escherichia coli likely functions during anaerobic growth in low-nitrate environments; napF operon expression is activated by cyclic AMP receptor protein (Crp). NapF is a subfamily of the beta subunit of DMSO reductase (DMSOR) family. DMSOR family members have a large, periplasmic molybdenum-containing alpha subunit as well as a small beta FeS subunit, and may also have a small gamma subunit. The beta subunit contains four Fe4/S4 and/or Fe3/S4 clusters which transfer the electrons from the alpha subunit to a hydrophobic integral membrane protein, presumably a cytochrome containing two b-type heme groups. The reducing equivalents are then transferred to menaquinone, which finally reduces the electron-accepting enzyme system.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Ꭲ€0€0€ €‚cd10569, FERM_C_Talin, FERM domain C-lobe/F3 of Talin. Talin (also called filopodin) plays an important role in initiating actin filament growth in motile cell protrusions. It is responsible for linking the cytoplasmic domains of integrins to the actin-based cytoskeleton, and is involved in vinculin, integrin and actin interactions. At the leading edge of motile cells, talin colocalises with the hyaluronan receptor layilin in transient adhesions, some of which become more stable focal adhesions (FA). During this maturation process, layilin is replaced with integrins, where localized production of PI(4,5)P(2) by type 1 phosphatidyl inositol phosphate kinase type 1gamma (PIPK1gamma) is thought to play a role in FA assembly. Talins are composed of a N-terminal region FERM domain which us made up of 3 subdomains (N, alpha-, and C-lobe; or- A-lobe, B-lobe, and C-lobe; or F1, F2, and F3) connected by short linkers, a talin rod which binds vinculin, and a conserved C-terminal region with actin- and integrin-binding sites. There are 2 additional actin-binding domains, one in the talin rod and the other in the FERM domain. Both the F2 and F3 FERM subdomains contribute to F-actin binding. Subdomain F3 of the FERM domain contains overlapping binding sites for integrin cytoplasmic domains and for the type 1 gamma isoform of PIP-kinase (phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase). The FERM domain has a cloverleaf tripart structure . F3 within the FERM domain is part of the PH domain family. The FERM domain is found in the cytoskeletal-associated proteins such as ezrin, moesin, radixin, 4.1R, and merlin. These proteins provide a link between the membrane and cytoskeleton and are involved in signal transduction pathways. The FERM domain is also found in protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) , the tyrosine kinases FAK and JAK, in addition to other proteins involved in signaling. This domain is structurally similar to the PH and PTB domains and consequently is capable of binding to both peptides and phospholipids at different sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €•¢€0€0€ €‚Ðcd10570, PH-GRAM, Pleckstrin Homology-Glucosyltransferases, Rab-like GTPase activators and Myotubularins (PH-GRAM) domain. Myotubularin-related proteins are a subfamily of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) that dephosphorylate D3-phosphorylated inositol lipids. Mutations in this family cause the human neuromuscular disorders myotubular myopathy and type 4B Charcot-Marie-Tooth syndrome. 6 of the 13 MTMRs (MTMRs 5, 9-13) contain naturally occurring substitutions of residues required for catalysis by PTP family enzymes. Although these proteins are predicted to be enzymatically inactive, they are thought to function as antagonists of endogenous phosphatase activity or interaction modules. Most MTMRs contain a N-terminal PH-GRAM domain, a Rac-induced recruitment domain (RID) domain, a PTP domain (which may be active or inactive), a SET-interaction domain, and a C-terminal coiled-coil region. In addition some members contain DENN domain N-terminal to the PH-GRAM domain and FYVE, PDZ, and PH domains C-terminal to the coiled-coil region. The GRAM domain, found in myotubularins, glucosyltransferases, and other putative membrane-associated proteins, is part of a larger motif with a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain fold.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €3Á¢€0€0€ €‚écd10571, PH_beta_spectrin, Beta-spectrin pleckstrin homology (PH) domain. Beta spectrin binds actin and functions as a major component of the cytoskeleton underlying cellular membranes. Beta spectrin consists of multiple spectrin repeats followed by a PH domain, which binds to inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate. The PH domain of beta-spectrin is thought to play a role in the association of spectrin with the plasma membrane of cells. PH domains have diverse functions, but in general are involved in targeting proteins to the appropriate cellular location or in the interaction with a binding partner. They share little sequence conservation, but all have a common fold, which is electrostatically polarized. Less than 10% of PH domains bind phosphoinositide phosphates (PIPs) with high affinity and specificity. PH domains are distinguished from other PIP-binding domains by their specific high-affinity binding to PIPs with two vicinal phosphate groups: PtdIns(3,4)P2, PtdIns(4,5)P2 or PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 which results in targeting some PH domain proteins to the plasma membrane. A few display strong specificity in lipid binding. Any specificity is usually determined by loop regions or insertions in the N-terminus of the domain, which are not conserved across all PH domains. PH domains are found in cellular signaling proteins such as serine/threonine kinase, tyrosine kinases, regulators of G-proteins, endocytotic GTPases, adaptors, as well as cytoskeletal associated molecules and in lipid associated enzymes.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €—¢€0€0€ €‚Jcd10572, PH_RhoGEF3_XPLN, Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 3 Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain. RhoGEF3/XPLN, a Rho family GEF, preferentially stimulates guanine nucleotide exchange on RhoA and RhoB, but not RhoC, RhoG, Rac1, or Cdc42 in vitro. It also possesses transforming activity. RhoGEF3/XPLN contains a tandem Dbl homology and PH domain, but lacks homology with other known functional domains or motifs. It is expressed in the brain, skeletal muscle, heart, kidney, platelets, and macrophage and neuronal cell lines. PH domains have diverse functions, but in general are involved in targeting proteins to the appropriate cellular location or in the interaction with a binding partner. They share little sequence conservation, but all have a common fold, which is electrostatically polarized. Less than 10% of PH domains bind phosphoinositide phosphates (PIPs) with high affinity and specificity.

DAPP1 (also known as PHISH/3' phosphoinositide-interacting SH2 domain-containing protein or Bam32) plays a role in B-cell activation and has potential roles in T-cell and mast cell function. DAPP1 promotes B cell receptor (BCR) induced activation of Rho GTPases Rac1 and Cdc42, which feed into mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) activation pathways and affect cytoskeletal rearrangement. DAPP1can also regulate BCR-induced activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), and c-jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK). DAPP1 contains an N-terminal SH2 domain and a C-terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain with a single tyrosine phosphorylation site located centrally. DAPP1 binds strongly to both PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 and PtdIns(3,4)P2. The PH domain is essential for plasma membrane recruitment of PI3K upon cell activation. PH domains have diverse functions, but in general are involved in targeting proteins to the appropriate cellular location or in the interaction with a binding partner. They share little sequence conservation, but all have a common fold, which is electrostatically polarized. Less than 10% of PH domains bind phosphoinositide phosphates (PIPs) with high affinity and specificity.

The Spred family has the following domains: an N-terminal EVH1 domain, a unique KBD (c-Kit kinase binding) domain which that is phosphorylated by the stem cell factor receptor c-Kit, and a C-terminal cysteine-rich SPR (Sprouty-related) domain which is involved in membrane localization. There are 3 Spred proteins: Spred1 which interacts with both Ras and Raf through its SPR domain; Spred2 which is the most abundant isoform; and Spred3 which has a non-functional KBD and maintains the inhibitory action on Raf. Legius syndrome is caused by heterozygous mutations in Spred1. Both EVH1 and SPR domains are involved in the inhibition of the MAP kinase pathway by Spred proteins. The specific function of the Spred2 EVH1 domain is unknown and there are no known interacting proteins to date. It is thought that its EVH1 domain will have a fourth distinct peptide binding mechanism within the EVH1 family. The EVH1 domains are part of the PH domain superamily. There are 5 EVH1 subfamilies: Enables/VASP, Homer/Vesl, WASP, Dcp1, and Spred. Ligands are known for three of the EVH1 subfamilies, all of which bind proline-rich sequences: the Enabled/VASP family binds to FPPPP peptides, the Homer/Vesl family binds PPxxF peptides, and the WASP family binds LPPPEP peptides. EVH1 has a PH-like fold, despite having minimal sequence similarity to PH or PTB domains.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €š¢€0€0€ €‚Ücd10575, TNFRSF6B, Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 6B (TNFRSF6B), also known as decoy receptor 3 (DcR3). The subfamily TNFRSF6B is also known as decoy receptor 3 (DcR3), M68, or TR6. This protein is a soluble receptor without death domain and cytoplasmic domain, and secreted by cells. It acts as a decoy receptor that competes with death receptors for ligand binding. It is a pleiotropic immunomodulator and biomarker for inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, and cancer. Over-expression of this gene has been noted in several cancers, including pancreatic carcinoma, and gastrointestinal tract tumors. It can neutralize the biological effects of three tumor necrosis factor superfamily (TNFSF) members: TNFSF6 (Fas ligand/FasL/CD95L) and TNFSF14 (LIGHT) which are both involved in apoptosis and inflammation, and TNFSF15 (TNF-like molecule 1A/TL1A), which is a T cell co-stimulator and involved in gut inflammation. DcR3 is a novel inflammatory marker; higher DcR3 levels strongly correlate with inflammation and independently predict cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients on hemodialysis. Increased synovial inflammatory cells infiltration in rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis is also associated with the elevated DcR3 expression. In cartilaginous fish, mRNA expression of DcR3 in the thymus and leydig, which are the representative lymphoid tissues of elasmobranchs, suggests that DcR3 may act as a modulator in the immune system. Interestingly, in banded dogfish (Triakis scyllia), DcR3 mRNA is strongly expressed in the gill, compared with human expression in the normal lung; both are respiratory organs, suggesting potential relevance of DcR3 to respiratory function.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €9¥¢€0€0€ €‚Ïcd10576, TNFRSF1A, Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 1A (TNFRSF1A), also known as TNFR1. TNFRSF1A (also known as type I TNFR, TNFR1, DR1, TNFRSF1A, CD120a, p55) binds TNF-alpha, through the death domain (DD), and activates NF-kappaB, mediates apoptosis and activates signaling pathways controlling inflammatory, immune, and stress responses. It mediates signal transduction by interacting with antiapoptotic protein BCL2-associated athanogene 4 (BAG4/SODD) and adaptor proteins TRAF2 and TRADD that play regulatory roles. The human genetic disorder called tumor necrosis factor associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS), or periodic fever syndrome, is associated with germline mutations of the extracellular domains of this receptor, possibly due to impaired receptor clearance. TNFRSF1A polymorphisms rs1800693 and rs4149584 are associated with elevated risk of multiple sclerosis. Serum levels of TNFRSF1A are elevated in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and high levels are also associated with cognitive impairment and dementia. Patients with idiopathic recurrent acute pericarditis (IRAP), presumed to be an autoimmune process, have also been shown to carry rare mutations (R104Q and D12E) in the TNFRSF1A gene.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €9¦¢€0€0€ €‚[cd10577, TNFRSF1B, Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 1B (TNFRSF1B), also known as TNFR2. TNFRSF1B (also known as TNFR2, type 2 TNFR, TNFBR, TNFR80, TNF-R75, TNF-R-II, p75, CD120b) binds TNF-alpha, but lacks the death domain (DD) that is associated with the cytoplasmic domain of TNFRSF1A (TNFR1). It is inducible and expressed exclusively by oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, T cells, thymocytes, myocytes, endothelial cells, and in human mesenchymal stem cells. TNFRSF1B protects oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OLGs) against oxidative stress, and induces the up-regulation of cell survival genes. While pro-inflammatory and pathogen-clearing activities of TNF are mediated mainly through activation of TNFRSF1A, a strong activator of NF-kappaB, TNFRSF1B is more responsible for suppression of inflammation. Although the affinities of both receptors for soluble TNF are similar, TNFRSF1B is sometimes more abundantly expressed and thought to associate with TNF, thereby increasing its concentration near TNFRSF1A receptors, and making TNF available to activate TNFRSF1A (a ligand-passing mechanism).¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €9§¢€0€0€ €‚¥cd10578, TNFRSF3, Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 3 (TNFRSF3), also known as lymphotoxin beta receptor (LTBR). TNFRSF3 (also known as lymphotoxin beta receptor, LTbetaR, CD18, TNFCR, TNFR3, D12S370, TNFR-RP, TNFR2-RP, LT-BETA-R, TNF-R-III) plays a role in signaling during development of lymphoid and other organs, lipid metabolism, immune response, and programmed cell death. Its ligands include lymphotoxin (LT) alpha/beta membrane form (heterotrimer) and tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 14 (also known as LIGHT). TNFRSF3 agonism by these ligands initiates canonical, as well as non-canonical nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) signaling, and preferentially results in the translocation of p52-RELB complexes into the nucleus. While these ligands are often expressed by T and B cells, TNFRSF3 is conspicuous absence on T and B lymphocytes and NK cells, suggesting that signaling may be unidirectional for TNFRSF3. Activity of this receptor has also been linked to carcinogenesis; it helps trigger apoptosis and can also lead to release of the interleukin 8 (IL8). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €9¨¢€0€0€ €‚¦cd10579, TNFRSF6, Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 6 (TNFRSF6), also known as fas cell surface death receptor (Fas). TNFRSF6 (also known as fas cell surface death receptor (FasR) or Fas, APT1, CD95, FAS1, APO-1, FASTM, ALPS1A) contains a death domain and plays a central role in the physiological regulation of programmed cell death. It has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various malignancies and diseases of the immune system. The receptor interactions with the Fas ligand (FasL), allowing the formation of a death-inducing signaling complex that includes Fas-associated death domain protein (FADD), caspase 8, and caspase 10; autoproteolytic processing of the caspases in the complex triggers a downstream caspase cascade, leading to apoptosis. This receptor has also been shown to activate NF-kappaB, MAPK3/ERK1, and MAPK8/JNK, and is involved in transducing the proliferating signals in normal diploid fibroblast and T cells. Of the several alternatively spliced transcript variants, some are candidates for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). Isoforms lacking the transmembrane domain may negatively regulate the apoptosis mediated by the full length isoform.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €9©¢€0€0€ €‚ 8cd10580, TNFRSF10, Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 10 (TNFRSF10), includes TNFRSF10A (DR4), TNFRSF10B (DR5), TNFRSF10C (DcR1) and TNFRSF10D (DcR2). TNFRSF10 family contains TNFRSF10A (also known as DR4, Apo2, TRAIL-R1, CD261), TNFRSF10B (also known as DR5, KILLER, TRICK2A, TRAIL-R2, TRICKB, CD262), TNFRSF10C (also known as DcR1, TRAIL-R3, LIT, TRID, CD263), and TNFRSF10D (also known as DcR2, TRUNDD, TRAIL-R4, CD264). Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TNFSF10/TRAIL) binds to all 4 receptors. DR4 (TRAIL-R1) and DR5 (TRAIL-R2) are membrane-bound and contain a death domain in their intracellular portion, which is able to transmit an apoptotic signal, thus often called death receptors. In contrast, DcR1 (TRAIL-R3), which lacks the complete intracellular portion and DcR2 (TRAIL-R4), which has a truncated cytoplasmic death domain, do not transmit an apoptotic signal, thus known as decoy receptors. Apoptosis mediated by DR4 and DR5 requires Fas (TNFRSF6)-associated via death domain (FADD), a death domain containing adaptor protein. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms and one non-coding transcript have been found for TNFRSF10B/DR5. DcR1 appears to function as an antagonistic receptor that protects cells from TRAIL-induced apoptosis; it has been found to be a p53-regulated DNA damage-inducible gene. The expression of this gene is detected in many normal tissues but not in most cancer cell lines, which may explain the specific sensitivity of cancer cells to the apoptosis-inducing activity of TRAIL. DcR2 has been shown to play an inhibitory role in TRAIL-induced cell apoptosis. The membrane expression of all of these receptors (DR4, DR5, DcR1, and DcR2) is greater in normal endometrium (NE) than in endometrioid adenocarcinoma (EAC). In EAC patients, membrane expression of these receptors are not independent predictors of survival. DcR1 and DcR2 expression is critical in cell growth and apoptosis in cutaneous or uveal melanoma; DcR1 and DcR2 are frequently methylated in both, leading to loss of gene expression and melanomagenesis. On the other hand, DR4 and DR5 methylation is rare in cutaneous melanoma and frequent in uveal melanoma; their expression is wholly independent of the promoter methylation status. DcR1 and DcR2 genes are also reported to be hyper-methylated in prostate cancer. The TRAIL ligand, a potent and specific inducer of apoptosis in cancer cells, has been explored as a therapeutic drug; experimental data has shown that DR4 specific TRAIL variants are more efficacious than wild-type TRAIL in pancreatic cancer.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €9ª¢€0€0€ €‚cd10581, TNFRSF11B, Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 11B (TNFRSF11B), also known as Osteoprotegerin (OPG). TNFRSF11B (also known as Osteoprotegerin, OPG, TR1, OCIF) is a secreted glycoprotein that regulates bone resorption. It binds to two ligands, RANKL (receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB ligand, also known as osteoprotegerin ligand, OPGL, TRANCE, TNF-related activation induced cytokine), a critical cytokine for osteoclast differentiation, and TRAIL (TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand), involved in immune surveillance. Therefore, acting as a decoy receptor for RANKL and TRAIL, OPG inhibits the regulatory effects of nuclear factor-kappaB on inflammation, skeletal, and vascular systems, and prevents TRAIL-induced apoptosis. Studies in mice counterparts suggest that this protein and its ligand also play a role in lymph-node organogenesis and vascular calcification. Circulating OPG levels have emerged as independent biomarkers of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with acute or chronic heart disease. OPG has also been implicated in various inflammations and linked to diabetes and poor glycemic control. Alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been reported, although their full length nature has not been determined.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €9«¢€0€0€ €‚tcd10582, TNFRSF14, Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 14 (TNFRSF14), also known as herpes virus entry mediator (HVEM). TNFRSF14 (also known as herpes virus entry mediator or HVEM, ATAR, CD270, HVEA, LIGHTR, TR2) regulates T-cell immune responses by activating inflammatory, as well as inhibitory signaling pathways. HVEM acts as a receptor for the canonical TNF-related ligand LIGHT (lymphotoxin-like), which exhibits inducible expression, and competes with herpes simplex virus glycoprotein D for HVEM. It also acts as a ligand for the immunoglobulin superfamily proteins BTLA (B and T lymphocyte attenuator) and CD160, a feature distinguishing HVEM from other immune regulatory molecules, thus, creating a functionally diverse set of intrinsic and bidirectional signaling pathways. HVEM is highly expressed in the gut epithelium. Genome-wide association studies have shown that Hvem is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) risk gene, suggesting that HVEM could have a regulatory role influencing the regulation of epithelial barrier, host defense, and the microbiota. Mouse models have revealed that HVEM is involved in colitis pathogenesis, mucosal host defense, and epithelial immunity, thus acting as a mucosal gatekeeper with multiple regulatory functions in the mucosa. HVEM plays a critical role in both tumor progression and resistance to antitumor immune responses, possibly through direct and indirect mechanisms. It is known to be expressed in several human malignancies, including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, follicular lymphoma and melanoma. HVEM network may therefore be an attractive target for drug intervention.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €9¬¢€0€0€ €‚™cd10583, TNFRSF21, Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 21 (TNFRSF21), also known as death receptor (DR6). TNFRSF21 (also known as death receptor 6 (DR6), CD358, BM-018) is highly expressed in differentiating neurons as well as in the adult brain, and is upregulated in injured neurons. DR6 negatively regulates neurondendrocyte, axondendrocyte, and oligodendrocyte survival, hinders axondendrocyte and oligodendrocyte regeneration and its inhibition has a neuro-protective effect in nerve injury. It activates nuclear factor kappa-B (NFkB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 (MAPK8, also called c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1), and induces cell apoptosis by associating with TNFRSF1A-associated via death domain (TRADD), which is known to mediate signal transduction of tumor necrosis factor receptors. TNFRSF21 plays a role in T-helper cell activation, and may be involved in inflammation and immune regulation. Its possible ligand is alpha-amyloid precursor protein (APP), hence probably involved in the development of Alzheimer's disease; when released, APP binds in an autocrine/paracrine manner to activate a caspase-dependent self-destruction program that removes unnecessary or connectionless axons. Increasing beta-catenin levels in brain endothelium upregulates TNFRSF21 and TNFRSF19, indicating that these death receptors are downstream target genes of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, which has been shown to be required for blood-brain barrier development. DR6 is up-regulated in numerous solid tumors as well as in tumor vascular cells, including ovarian cancer and may be a clinically useful diagnostic and predictive serum biomarker for some adult sarcoma subtypes.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €9­¢€0€0€ €‚Icd10585, CE4_SF, Catalytic NodB homology domain of the carbohydrate esterase 4 superfamily. The carbohydrate esterase 4 (CE4) superfamily mainly includes chitin deacetylases (EC 3.5.1.41), bacterial peptidoglycan N-acetylglucosamine deacetylases (EC 3.5.1.-), and acetylxylan esterases (EC 3.1.1.72), which catalyze the N- or O-deacetylation of substrates such as acetylated chitin, peptidoglycan, and acetylated xylan, respectively. Members in this superfamily contain a NodB homology domain that adopts a deformed (beta/alpha)8 barrel fold, which encompasses a mononuclear metalloenzyme employing a conserved His-His-Asp zinc-binding triad, closely associated with the conserved catalytic base (aspartic acid) and acid (histidine) to carry out acid/base catalysis. The NodB homology domain of CE4 superfamily is remotely related to the 7-stranded beta/alpha barrel catalytic domain of the superfamily consisting of family 38 glycoside hydrolases (GH38), family 57 heat stable retaining glycoside hydrolases (GH57), lactam utilization protein LamB/YcsF family proteins, and YdjC-family proteins.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €@¢€0€0€ €‚cd10718, SH2_CIS, Src homology 2 (SH2) domain found in cytokine-inducible SH2-containing protein (CIS). CIS family members are known to be cytokine-inducible negative regulators of cytokine signaling. The expression of the CIS gene can be induced by IL2, IL3, GM-CSF and EPO in hematopoietic cells. Proteasome-mediated degradation of this protein has been shown to be involved in the inactivation of the erythropoietin receptor. Suppressor of cytokine signalling (SOCS) was first recognized as a group of cytokine-inducible SH2 (CIS) domain proteins comprising eight family members in human (CIS and SOCS1-SOCS7). In addition to the SH2 domain, SOCS proteins have a variable N-terminal domain and a conserved SOCS box in the C-terminal domain. SOCS proteins bind to a substrate via their SH2 domain. The prototypical members, CIS and SOCS1-SOCS3, have been shown to regulate growth hormone signaling in vitro and in a classic negative feedback response compete for binding at phosphotyrosine sites in JAK kinase and receptor pathways to displace effector proteins and target bound receptors for proteasomal degradation. Loss of SOCS activity results in excessive cytokine signaling associated with a variety of hematopoietic, autoimmune, and inflammatory diseases and certain cancers. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¢€0€0€ €‚wcd10719, DnaJ_zf, Zinc finger domain of DnaJ and HSP40. Central/middle or CxxCxGxG-motif containing domain of DnaJ/Hsp40 (heat shock protein 40). DnaJ proteins are highly conserved and play crucial roles in protein translation, folding, unfolding, translocation, and degradation. They act primarily by stimulating the ATPase activity of Hsp70s, an important chaperonin family. Hsp40 proteins are characterized by the presence of an N-terminal J domain, which mediates the interaction with Hsp70. This central domain contains four repeats of a CxxCxGxG motif and binds to two Zinc ions. It has been implicated in substrate binding.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € 䢀0€0€ €‚¼cd10747, DnaJ_C, C-terminal substrate binding domain of DnaJ and HSP40. The C-terminal region of the DnaJ/Hsp40 protein mediates oligomerization and binding to denatured polypeptide substrate. DnaJ/Hsp40 is a widely conserved heat-shock protein. It prevents the aggregation of unfolded substrate and forms a ternary complex with both substrate and DnaK/Hsp70; the N-terminal J-domain of DnaJ/Hsp40 stimulates the ATPase activity of DnaK/Hsp70.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € 墀0€0€ €‚Ücd10748, anti-TRAP, anti-TRAP (AT) protein specific to Bacilli. In Bacillus subtilis and related bacteria, AT binds to the TRAP protein, (tryptophan-activated trp RNA-binding attenuation protein), effectively disrupting interaction of TRAP with mRNAs. Upon binding of tryptophan, TRAP (which forms a complex of 11 identical subunits) interacts with a specific location in the leader RNA and blocks translation of the tryptophan biosynthetic operon. AT, in turn, recognizes the tryptophan-activated TRAP complex and prevents RNA binding. AT is expressed in response to high levels of uncharged tryptophan tRNA. AT contains a zinc-binding motif that closely resembles the zinc-binding motifs in the zinc-finger region of DnaJ/Hsp40. AT has been shown to form homo-dodecameric assemblies, and can actually do that in two different relative orientations, resulting in two different dodecamers. Recent data suggest that the trimeric form of AT may be the biologically relevant active complex.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € 梀0€0€ €‚­cd10785, GH38-57_N_LamB_YdjC_SF, Catalytic domain of glycoside hydrolase (GH) families 38 and 57, lactam utilization protein LamB/YcsF family proteins, YdjC-family proteins, and similar proteins. The superfamily possesses strong sequence similarities across a wide range of all three kingdoms of life. It mainly includes four families, glycoside hydrolases family 38 (GH38), heat stable retaining glycoside hydrolases family 57 (GH57), lactam utilization protein LamB/YcsF family, and YdjC-family. The GH38 family corresponds to class II alpha-mannosidases (alphaMII, EC 3.2.1.24), which contain intermediate Golgi alpha-mannosidases II, acidic lysosomal alpha-mannosidases, animal sperm and epididymal alpha -mannosidases, neutral ER/cytosolic alpha-mannosidases, and some putative prokaryotic alpha-mannosidases. AlphaMII possess a-1,3, a-1,6, and a-1,2 hydrolytic activity, and catalyzes the degradation of N-linked oligosaccharides by employing a two-step mechanism involving the formation of a covalent glycosyl enzyme complex. GH57 is a purely prokaryotic family with the majority of thermostable enzymes from extremophiles (many of them are archaeal hyperthermophiles), which exhibit the enzyme specificities of alpha-amylase (EC 3.2.1.1), 4-alpha-glucanotransferase (EC 2.4.1.25), amylopullulanase (EC 3.2.1.1/41), and alpha-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.22). This family also includes many hypothetical proteins with uncharacterized activity and specificity. GH57 cleaves alpha-glycosidic bond by employing a retaining mechanism, which involves a glycosyl-enzyme intermediate, allowing transglycosylation. Although the exact molecular function of LamB/YcsF family and YdjC-family remains unclear, they show high sequence and structure homology to the members of GH38 and GH57. Their catalytic domains adopt a similar parallel 7-stranded beta/alpha barrel, which is remotely related to catalytic NodB homology domain of the carbohydrate esterase 4 superfamily.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €<¢€0€0€ €‚tcd10786, GH38N_AMII_like, N-terminal catalytic domain of class II alpha-mannosidases and similar proteins; glycoside hydrolase family 38 (GH38). Alpha-mannosidases (EC 3.2.1.24) are extensively found in eukaryotes and play important roles in the processing of newly formed N-glycans and in degradation of mature glycoproteins. A deficiency of this enzyme causes the lysosomal storage disease alpha-mannosidosis. Many bacterial and archaeal species also possess putative alpha-mannosidases, but their activity and specificity is largely unknown. Based on different functional characteristics and sequence homology, alpha-mannosidases have been organized into two classes (class I, belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 47, and class II, belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 38). Members of this family corresponds to class II alpha-mannosidases (alphaMII), which contain intermediate Golgi alpha-mannosidases II, acidic lysosomal alpha-mannosidases, animal sperm and epididymal alpha -mannosidases, neutral ER/cytosolic alpha-mannosidases, and some putative prokaryotic alpha-mannosidases. AlphaMII possess a-1,3, a-1,6, and a-1,2 hydrolytic activity, and catalyzes the degradation of N-linked oligosaccharides. The N-terminal catalytic domain of alphaMII adopts a structure consisting of parallel 7-stranded beta/alpha barrel. Members in this family are retaining glycosyl hydrolases of family GH38 that employs a two-step mechanism involving the formation of a covalent glycosyl enzyme complex. Two carboxylic acids positioned within the active site act in concert: one as a catalytic nucleophile and the other as a general acid/base catalyst.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €<‚¢€0€0€ €‚“cd10787, LamB_YcsF_like, LamB/YcsF family of lactam utilization protein. The LamB/YbgL family includes the Aspergillus nidulans protein LamB, and its homologs from all three kingdoms of life. The lamb gene locates at the lam locus of Aspergillus nidulans, consisting of two divergently transcribed genes, lamA and lamB, needed for the utilization of lactams such as 2-pyrrolidinone. Both genes are under the control of the positive regulatory gene amdR and are subject to carbon and nitrogen metabolite repression. Although the exact molecular function of LamB is unknown, it might be required for conversion of exogenous 2-pyrrolidinone to endogenous GABA.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €<ƒ¢€0€0€ €‚’cd10788, YdjC_like, YdjC-family proteins. YdjC-family proteins are widely distributed, from human to bacteria. It is represented by an uncharacterised protein YdjC (also known as ChbG), encoded by the chb (N,N'-diacetylchitobiose, also called [GlcNAc]2) or cel operon in Escherichia coli, which encodes enzymes involved in growth on an N,N'-diacetylchitobiose carbon source. This subfamily also includes hopanoid biosynthesis associated proteins HpnK and many uncharacterized YdjC homologs. Although the exact molecular function of the YdjC-family proteins remains unclear, it has been suggested that they play a role in the cleavage of cellobiosephosphate.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €<„¢€0€0€ €‚pcd10789, GH38N_AMII_ER_cytosolic, N-terminal catalytic domain of endoplasmic reticulum(ER)/cytosolic class II alpha-mannosidases; glycoside hydrolase family 38 (GH38). The subfamily is represented by Saccharomyces cerevisiae vacuolar alpha-mannosidase Ams1, rat ER/cytosolic alpha-mannosidase Man2C1, and similar proteins. Members in this family share high sequence similarity. None of them have any classical signal sequence or membrane spanning domains, which are typical of sorting or targeting signals. Ams1 functions as a second resident vacuolar hydrolase in S. cerevisiae. It aids in recycling macromolecular components of the cell through hydrolysis of terminal, non-reducing alpha-d-mannose residues. Ams1 utilizes both the cytoplasm to vacuole targeting (Cvt, nutrient-rich conditions) and autophagic (starvation conditions) pathways for biosynthetic delivery to the vacuole. Man2C1is involved in oligosaccharide catabolism in both the ER and cytosol. It can catalyze the cobalt-dependent cleavage of alpha 1,2-, alpha 1,3-, and alpha 1,6-linked mannose residues. Members in this family are retaining glycosyl hydrolases of family GH38 that employs a two-step mechanism involving the formation of a covalent glycosyl-enzyme complex.

This mainly bacterial subfamily corresponds to a group of putative class II alpha-mannosidases, including various proteins assigned as alpha-mannosidases, Streptococcus pyogenes (SpGH38) encoded by ORF spy1604. Escherichia coli MngB encoded by the mngB/ybgG gene, and Thermotoga maritime TMM, and similar proteins. SpGH38 targets alpha-1,3 mannosidic linkages. SpGH38 appears to exist as an elongated dimer and display alpha-1,3 mannosidase activity. It is active on disaccharides and some aryl glycosides. SpGH38 can also effectively deglycosylate human N-glycans in vitro. MngB exhibits alpha-mannosidase activity that catalyzes the conversion of 2-O-(6-phospho-alpha-mannosyl)-D-glycerate to mannose-6-phosphate and glycerate in the pathway which enables use of mannosyl-D-glycerate as a sole carbon source. TMM is a homodimeric enzyme that hydrolyzes p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-mannopyranoside, alpha -1,2-mannobiose, alpha -1,3-mannobiose, alpha -1,4-mannobiose, and alpha -1,6-mannobiose. The GH38 family contains retaining glycosyl hydrolases that employ a two-step mechanism involving the formation of a covalent glycosyl enzyme complex. Two carboxylic acids positioned within the active site act in concert: one as a catalytic nucleophile and the other as a general acid/base catalyst. Divalent metal ions, such as zinc or cobalt ions, are suggested to be required for the catalytic activities of typical class II alpha-mannosidases. However, TMM requires the cobalt or cadmium for its activity. The cadmium ion dependency is unique to TMM. Moreover, TMM is inhibited by swainsonine but not 1-deoxymannojirimycin, which is in agreement with the features of cytosolic alpha-mannosidase.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €<†¢€0€0€ €‚_cd10791, GH38N_AMII_like_1, N-terminal catalytic domain of mainly uncharacterized eukaryotic proteins similar to alpha-mannosidases; glycoside hydrolase family 38 (GH38).

AlphaAMIIs possess a-1,3, a-1,6, and a-1,2 hydrolytic activity, and catalyze the degradation of N-linked oligosaccharides. The N-terminal catalytic domain of alphaMII adopts a structure consisting of parallel 7-stranded beta/alpha barrel. This subfamily belongs to the GH38 family of retaining glycosyl hydrolases, which employ a two-step mechanism involving the formation of a covalent glycosyl enzyme complex; two carboxylic acids positioned within the active site act in concert: one as a catalytic nucleophile and the other as a general acid/base catalyst.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €<‡¢€0€0€ €‚¢cd10792, GH57N_AmyC_like, N-terminal catalytic domain of alpha-amylase ( AmyC ) and similar proteins.

This subfamily is represented by a novel alpha-amylase (AmyC) encoded by hyperthermophilic organism Thermotoga maritime ORF tm1438, and its prokaryotic homologs. AmyC functions as a homotetramer and shows thermostable amylolytic activity. It is strongly inhibited by acarbose. AmyC is composed of a N-terminal catalytic domain, containing a distorted TIM-barrel structure with a characteristic (beta/alpha)7 fold motif, and two additional less conserved domains.

It catalyzes the disproportionation of amylose and the formation of large cyclic alpha-1,4-glucan (cycloamylose) from linear amylose. TLGT functions as a homodimer. Each monomer is composed of two domains, an N-terminal catalytic domain with a (beta/alpha)7 barrel fold and a C-terminal domain with a twisted beta-sandwich fold. Some family members have been designated as alpha-amylases, such as the heat-stable eubacterial amylase from Dictyoglomus thermophilum (DtAmyA) and the extremely thermostable archaeal amylase from Pyrococcus furiosus(PfAmyA). However, both of these proteins are 4-alpha-glucanotransferases.

Based on sequence similarity, the majority of eukaryotic and bacterial GalAs have been classified into glycoside hydrolase family GH27, GH36, and GH4, respectively. This subfamily is represented by a novel type of GalA from Pyrococcus furiosus (PfGalA), which belongs to the GH57 family. PfGalA is an extremely thermo-active and thermostable GalA that functions as a bacterial-like GalA, however, without the capacity to hydrolyze polysaccharides.

GMII plays a key role in the N-glycosylation pathway. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of the terminal both alpha-1,3-linked and alpha-1,6-linked mannoses from the high-mannose oligosaccharide GlcNAc(Man)5(GlcNAc)2 to yield GlcNAc(Man)3(GlcNAc)2(GlcNAc, N-acetylglucosmine), which is the committed step of complex N-glycan synthesis. GMII is activated by zinc or cobalt ions and is strongly inhibited by swainsonine. Inhibition of GMII provides a route to block cancer-induced changes in cell surface oligosaccharide structures. GMII has a pH optimum of 5.5-6.0, which is intermediate between those of acidic (lysosomal alpha-mannosidase) and neutral (ER/cytosolic alpha-mannosidase) enzymes. GMII is a retaining glycosyl hydrolase of family GH38 that employs a two-step mechanism involving the formation of a covalent glycosyl enzyme complex; two carboxylic acids positioned within the active site act in concert: one as a catalytic nucleophile and the other as a general acid/base catalyst.

MX is enzymatically and functionally very similar to GMII, and is thought to also function in the N-glycosylation pathway. Also found in this subfamily is class II alpha-mannosidase encoded by Spodoptera frugiperda Sf9 cell. This alpha-mannosidase is an integral membrane glycoprotein localized in the Golgi apparatus. It shows high sequence homology with mammalian Golgi alpha-mannosidase II(GMII). It can hydrolyze p-nitrophenyl alpha-D-mannopyranoside (pNP-alpha-Man), and it is inhibited by swainsonine. However, the Sf9 enzyme is stimulated by cobalt and can hydrolyze (Man)5(GlcNAc)2 to (Man)3(GlcNAc)2, but it cannot hydrolyze GlcNAc(Man)5(GlcNAc)2, which is distinct from that of GMII. Thus, this enzyme has been designated as Sf9 alpha-mannosidase III (SfManIII). It probably functions in an alternate N-glycan processing pathway in Sf9 cells.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €<˜¢€0€0€ €‚•cd10810, GH38N_AMII_LAM_like, N-terminal catalytic domain of lysosomal alpha-mannosidase and similar proteins; glycoside hydrolase family 38 (GH38). The subfamily is represented by lysosomal alpha-mannosidase (LAM, Man2B1, EC 3.2.1.114), which is a broad specificity exoglycosidase hydrolyzing all known alpha 1,2-, alpha 1,3-, and alpha 1,6-mannosidic linkages from numerous high mannose type oligosaccharides. LAM is expressed in all tissues and in many species. In mammals, the absence of LAM can cause the autosomal recessive disease alpha-mannosidosis. LAM has an acidic pH optimum at 4.0-4.5. It is stimulated by zinc ion and is inhibited by cobalt ion and plant alkaloids, such as swainsonine (SW). LAM catalyzes hydrolysis by a double displacement mechanism in which a glycosyl-enzyme intermediate is formed and hydrolyzed via oxacarbenium ion-like transition states. A carboxylic acid in the active site acts as the catalytic nucleophile in the formation of the covalent intermediate while a second carboxylic acid acts as a general acid catalyst. The same residue is thought to assist in the hydrolysis (deglycosylation) step, this time acting as a general base.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €<™¢€0€0€ €‚åcd10811, GH38N_AMII_Epman_like, N-terminal catalytic domain of mammalian core-specific lysosomal alpha 1,6-mannosidase and similar proteins; glycoside hydrolase family 38 (GH38). The subfamily is represented by a novel human core-specific lysosomal alpha 1,6-mannosidase (Epman, Man2B2) and similar proteins. Although it was previously named as epididymal alpha-mannosidase, Epman has a broadly distributed transcript expression profile. Different from the major broad specificity lysosomal alpha-mannosidases (LAM, MAN2B1), Epman is not associated with genetic alpha-mannosidosis that is caused by the absence of LAM. Furthermore, Epman has unique substrate specificity. It can efficiently cleave only the alpha 1,6-linked mannose residue from (Man)3GlcNAc, but not (Man)3(GlcNAc)2 or other larger high mannose oligosaccharides, in the core of N-linked glycans. In contrast, the major LAM can cleave all of the alpha-linked mannose residues from high mannose oligosaccharides except the core alpha 1,6-linked mannose residue. Moreover, it is suggested that the catalytic activity of Epman is dependent on prior action by di-N-acetyl-chitobiase (chitobiase), which indicates there is a functional cooperation between these two enzymes for the full and efficient catabolism of mammalian lysosomal N-glycan core structures. Epman has an acidic pH optimum. It is strongly stimulated by cobalt or zinc ions and strongly inhibited by furanose analogues swainsonine (SW) and 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-d-mannitol (DIM).¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €<š¢€0€0€ €‚ccd10812, GH38N_AMII_ScAms1_like, N-terminal catalytic domain of yeast vacuolar alpha-mannosidases and similar proteins; glycoside hydrolase family 38 (GH38). The family is represented by Saccharomyces cerevisiae alpha-mannosidase (Ams1) and its eukaryotic homologs. Ams1 functions as a second resident vacuolar hydrolase in S. cerevisiae. It aids in recycling macromolecular components of the cell through hydrolysis of terminal, non-reducing alpha-d-mannose residues. Ams1 forms an oligomer in the cytoplasm and retains its oligomeric form during the import process. It utilizes both the Cvt (nutrient-rich conditions) and autophagic (starvation conditions) pathways for biosynthetic delivery to the vacuole. Mutants in either pathway are defective in Ams1 import. Members in this family show high sequence similarity with rat ER/cytosolic alpha-mannosidase Man2C1.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €<›¢€0€0€ €‚úcd10813, GH38N_AMII_Man2C1, N-terminal catalytic domain of mammalian cytosolic alpha-mannosidase Man2C1 and similar proteins; glycoside hydrolase family 38 (GH38). The subfamily corresponds to cytosolic alpha-mannosidase Man2C1 (also known as ER-mannosidase II or neutral/cytosolic mannosidase), mainly found in various vertebrates, and similar proteins. Man2C1 plays an essential role in the catabolism of cytosolic free oligomannosides derived from dolichol intermediates and the degradation of newly synthesized glycoproteins in ER or cytosol. It can catalyze the cleavage of alpha 1,2-, alpha 1,3-, and alpha 1,6-linked mannose residues. Man2C1 is a cobalt-dependent enzyme belonging to alpha-mannosidase class II. It has a neutral pH optimum and is strongly inhitibed by furanose analogs swainsonine (SW) and 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-D-mannitol (DIM), moderately by deoxymannojirimycin (DMM), but not by kifunensine (KIF). DMM and KIF, both pyranose analogs, are normally known to inhibit class I alpha-mannosidase.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €<œ¢€0€0€ €‚øcd10814, GH38N_AMII_SpGH38_like, N-terminal catalytic domain of SPGH38, a putative alpha-mannosidase of Streptococcus pyogenes, and its prokaryotic homologs; glycoside hydrolase family 38 (GH38). The subfamily is represented by SpGH38 of Streptococcus pyogenes, which has been assigned as a putative alpha-mannosidase, and is encoded by ORF spy1604. SpGH38 appears to exist as an elongated dimer and display alpha-1,3 mannosidase activity. It is active on disaccharides and some aryl glycosides. SpGH38 can also effectively deglycosylate human N-glycans in vitro. A divalent metal ion, such as a zinc ion, is required for its activity. SpGH38 is inhibited by swainsonine. The absence of any secretion signal peptide suggests that SpGH38 may be intracellular.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €<¢€0€0€ €‚Ecd10815, GH38N_AMII_EcMngB_like, N-terminal catalytic domain of Escherichia coli alpha-mannosidase MngB and its bacterial homologs; glycoside hydrolase family 38 (GH38). The bacterial subfamily is represented by Escherichia coli alpha-mannosidase MngB, which is encoded by the mngB gene (previously called ybgG). MngB exhibits alpha-mannosidase activity that converts 2-O-(6-phospho-alpha-mannosyl)-D-glycerate to mannose-6-phosphate and glycerate in the pathway which enables use of mannosyl-D-glycerate as a sole carbon source. A divalent metal ion is required for its activity.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €<ž¢€0€0€ €‚¬cd10816, GH57N_BE_TK1436_like, N-terminal catalytic domain of Gh57 branching enzyme TK 1436 and similar proteins. The subfamily is represented by a novel branching-enzyme TK1436 of hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakaraensis KOD1. Branching enzymes (BEs, EC 2.4.1.18) play a key role in synthesis of alpha-glucans and they generally are classified into glycoside hydrolase family 13 (GH13). However, TK1436 belongs to the GH57 family. It functions as a monomer and possesses BE activity. TK1436 is composed of a distorted N-terminal (beta/alpha)7-barrel domain and a C-terminal five alpha-helical domain, both of which participate in the formation of the active-site cleft.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €<Ÿ¢€0€0€ €‚cd10909, ChtBD1_GH18_2, Hevein or type 1 chitin binding domain (ChtBD1) subfamily; in some members co-occurs with family 18 glycosyl hydrolases. This subfamily includes a Toxoplasma gondii ME49 protein annotated as a putative mannosyl-oligosaccharide glucosidase. ChtBD1 is a lectin domain found in proteins from plants and fungi that bind N-acetylglucosamine, plant endochitinases, wound-induced proteins such as hevein, a major IgE-binding allergen in natural rubber latex, and the alpha subunit of Kluyveromyces lactis killer toxin. This domain is involved in the recognition and/or binding of chitin subunits; it typically occurs N-terminal to glycosyl hydrolase domains in chitinases, together with other carbohydrate-binding domains, or by itself in tandem-repeat arrangements.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €9s¢€0€0€ €‚2cd10910, limkain_b1_N_like, N-terminal LabA-like domain of limkain b1 and similar proteins. This eukaryotic subfamily of LabA-like domains contains the N-terminal domain of human limkain b1, a human autoantigen, localized to a subset of ABCD3 and PXF marked peroxisomes. Limkain b1 may be a relatively common target of human autoantibodies reactive to cytoplasmic vesicle-like structures. Limkain b1 contains multiple copies of LOTUS domains and a conserved RNA recognition motif, its - and similar - domain architectures are shared by several members of this family, and a function of these architectures in RNA binding or RNA metabolism has been suggested. The function of the N-terminal domain is unknown. LabA_like domains exhibit some similarity to the NYN domain, a distant relative of the PIN-domain nucleases.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € Ø¢€0€0€ €‚=cd10911, LabA, LabA_like proteins. A well conserved group of bacterial and archaeal proteins with no defined function. LabA, a member from Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942, has been shown to play a role in cyanobacterial circadian timing. It is required for negative feedback regulation of the autokinase/autophosphatase KaiC, a central component of the circadian clock system. In particular, LabA seems necessary for KaiC-dependent repression of gene expression. LabA_like domains exhibit some similarity to the NYN domain, a distant relative of the PIN-domain nucleases.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € Ù¢€0€0€ €‚ cd10913, Peptidase_C25_N_gingipain, gingipain subgroup of the Peptidase C25 family N-terminal domain. Gingipain, produced by Porphyromonas gingivalis, exemplifies the Peptidase family C25, a unique class of cysteine proteases. P. gingivalis is one of the primary gram-negative pathogens that causes periodontitis, a disease also associated with other diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The gingipain subgroup contains extracellular Arg- and Lys-specific proteinases called Arg-gingipain (Rgp) and Lys-gingipain (Kgp); RgpA and RgpB are homologous Arg-specific gingipains encoded by two closely related genes, rgpA and rgpB, while Lys-specific gingipain is encoded by the single kgp gene. Mutant studies have shown that, among the large quantities of proteolytic enzymes produced by P. gingivalis, these three proteases are major virulence factors of this bacterium. All three genes encode an N-terminal pre-pro fragment, followed by the protease domain; however, rgpA and kgp also encode additional C-terminal HA (hemaglutinin/adhesion) subunits which consist of several sequence-related adhesion domains. Although unique, their cysteine protease active site residues (His and Cys) forming the catalytic dyad, are well-conserved, cleaving the C-terminal peptide bond with Arg or Lys residues. Gingipains are evolutionarily related to other highly specific proteases including caspases, clostripain, legumains, and separase. Gingipains function by dysregulating host defense and inflammatory responses, and degrading host proteins, e.g. tissue, cells, matrix, plasma and immunological proteins. It has been suggested that they enhance gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) production through activation of the kallikrein/kinin pathways, thus increasing vascular permeability and causing gingival inflammation, a distinctive feature of periodontitis. RgpA and RgpB are also able to cleave and activate coagulation factors IX and X in order to activate prothrombin to produce thrombin, which in turn increases production of GCF. The gingipains also play a pivotal role in the survival of P. gingivalis in the host by attacking the host defense system through cleavage of several immunological molecules, while at the same time evading the host-immune response by dysregulating the cytokine network.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ € +¢€0€0€ €‚ ‡cd10914, Peptidase_C25_N_1, uncharacterized subgroup of the Peptidase C25 family N-terminal domain.

This family is a member of the very large and functionally diverse carbohydrate esterase 4 (CE4) superfamily. It contains bacterial PuuE (purine utilization E) allantoinases, a peptidoglycan deacetylase from Helicobacter pylori (HpPgdA), Escherichia coli ArnD, and many uncharacterized homologs from all three kingdoms of life. PuuE allantoinase appears to be metal-independent and specifically catalyzes the hydrolysis of (S)-allantoin into allantoic acid. Different from PuuE allantoinase, HpPgdA has the ability to bind a metal ion at the active site and is responsible for a peptidoglycan modification that counteracts the host immune response. Both PuuE allantoinase and HpPgdA function as a homotetramer. The monomer is composed of a 7-stranded barrel with detectable sequence similarity to the 6-stranded barrel NodB homology domain of polysaccharide deacetylase (DCA)-like proteins in the CE4 superfamily, which removes N-linked or O-linked acetyl groups from cell wall polysaccharides. However, in contrast with the typical DCAs, PuuE allantoinase and HpPgdA might not exhibit a solvent-accessible polysaccharide binding groove and only recognize a small substrate molecule. ArnD catalyzes the deformylation of 4-deoxy-4-formamido-L-arabinose-phosphoundecaprenol to 4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose-phosphoundecaprenol.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €@¢€0€0€ €‚cd10917, CE4_NodB_like_6s_7s, Catalytic NodB homology domain of rhizobial NodB-like proteins. This family belongs to the large and functionally diverse carbohydrate esterase 4 (CE4) superfamily, whose members show strong sequence similarity with some variability due to their distinct carbohydrate substrates. It includes many rhizobial NodB chitooligosaccharide N-deacetylase (EC 3.5.1.-)-like proteins, mainly from bacteria and eukaryotes, such as chitin deacetylases (EC 3.5.1.41), bacterial peptidoglycan N-acetylglucosamine deacetylases (EC 3.5.1.-), and acetylxylan esterases (EC 3.1.1.72), which catalyze the N- or O-deacetylation of substrates such as acetylated chitin, peptidoglycan, and acetylated xylan. All members of this family contain a catalytic NodB homology domain with the same overall topology and a deformed (beta/alpha)8 barrel fold with 6- or 7 strands. Their catalytic activity is dependent on the presence of a divalent cation, preferably cobalt or zinc, and they employ a conserved His-His-Asp zinc-binding triad closely associated with the conserved catalytic base (aspartic acid) and acid (histidine) to carry out acid/base catalysis. Several family members show diversity both in metal ion specificities and in the residues that coordinate the metal.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €@¢€0€0€ €‚Ýcd10918, CE4_NodB_like_5s_6s, Putative catalytic NodB homology domain of PgaB, IcaB, and similar proteins which consist of a deformed (beta/alpha)8 barrel fold with 5- or 6-strands. This family belongs to the large and functionally diverse carbohydrate esterase 4 (CE4) superfamily, whose members show strong sequence similarity with some variability due to their distinct carbohydrate substrates. It includes bacterial poly-beta-1,6-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine N-deacetylase PgaB, hemin storage system HmsF protein in gram-negative species, intercellular adhesion proteins IcaB, and many uncharacterized prokaryotic polysaccharide deacetylases. It also includes a putative polysaccharide deacetylase YxkH encoded by the Bacillus subtilis yxkH gene, which is one of six polysaccharide deacetylase gene homologs present in the Bacillus subtilis genome. Sequence comparison shows all family members contain a conserved domain similar to the catalytic NodB homology domain of rhizobial NodB-like proteins, which consists of a deformed (beta/alpha)8 barrel fold with 6 or 7 strands. However, in this family, most proteins have 5 strands and some have 6 strands.

Chitin deacetylases (CDAs, EC 3.5.1.41) are secreted metalloproteins belonging to a family of extracellular chitin-modifying enzymes that catalyze the N-deacetylation of chitin, a beta-1,4-linked N-acetylglucosamine polymer, to form chitosan, a polymer of beta-(1,4)-linked d-glucosamine residues. CDAs have been isolated and characterized from various bacterial and fungal species and belong to the larger carbohydrate esterase family 4 (CE4). This family includes many CDA-like proteins, mainly from insects, which contain a putative CDA-like catalytic domain similar to the catalytic NodB homology domain of CE4 esterases. Some family members have an additional chitin binding domain (ChBD), or an additional low-density lipoprotein receptor class A domain (LDLa), or both. Due to the lack of some catalytically relevant residues, several insect CDA-like proteins are devoid of enzymatic activity and may simply bind to chitin and thus influence the mechanical or permeability properties of chitin-containing structures such as the cuticle or the peritrophic membrane. This family also includes many uncharacterized hypothetical proteins from bacteria, exhibiting high sequence similarity to insect CDA-like proteins.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €a¢€0€0€ €‚Ccd10920, CE4_WbmS, Catalytic domain of a putative polysaccharide deacetylase WbmS from Bordetella bronchiseptica and similar proteins.

Although its precise function remains unknown, it has been suggested that WbmS might be involved in the biosynthesis of O-antigen, an important component of the gram-negative bacterial outer membrane, and may also play a role in sugar phosphate transfer. Structural superposition and sequence comparison show that WbmS consists of a conserved domain similar to the 7-stranded barrel catalytic domain of polysaccharide deacetylases (DACs) from the carbohydrate esterase 4 (CE4) superfamily, which removes N-linked acetyl groups from cell wall polysaccharides.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €b¢€0€0€ €‚rcd10921, CE4_MJ0505_like, Putative catalytic domain of uncharacterized protein MJ0505 from Methanocaldococcus jannaschii and similar proteins.

The cadherin domains occur as repeats in the extracellular regions which are thought to mediate cell-cell contact when bound to calcium. They play a role in cell fate, signalling, proliferation, differentiation, and migration. The copper binding domain involves a tryptophan metabolite, kynurenine, in the protein MopE. Members of this family contain an additional conserved domain, which is N-terminally fused to the cadherin domain or the MopE copper binding domain. Although its function remains unclear, the conserved domain exhibits a seven-stranded barrel with a detectable sequence similarity to the six-stranded barrel rhizobial NodB-like proteins, which remove N-linked or O-linked acetyl groups from cell wall polysaccharides and belong to the larger carbohydrate esterase 4 (CE4) superfamily.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €p¢€0€0€ €‚\cd10935, CE4_WalW, Putative catalytic domain of lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis protein WalW and its bacterial homologs.

This family contains an uncharacterized protein BH1492 from Bacillus halodurans, an uncharacterized protein ATU2773 from Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58, and other bacterial hypothetical proteins. Although their functions are still unknown, structural superposition and sequence comparison suggest that BH1492 and ATU2773 might be divergently related to the 7-stranded barrel catalytic domain of polysaccharide deacetylases (DACs) from the carbohydrate esterase 4 (CE4) superfamily, which remove N-linked acetyl groups from cell wall polysaccharides. This family is designated as DAC family 2, a divergent DAC family.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €r¢€0€0€ €‚cd10938, CE4_HpPgdA_like, Catalytic domain of Helicobacter pylori peptidoglycan deacetylase (HpPgdA) and similar proteins. This family is represented by a peptidoglycan deacetylase (HP0310, HpPgdA) from the gram-negative pathogen Helicobacter pylori. HpPgdA has the ability to bind a metal ion at the active site and is responsible for a peptidoglycan modification that counteracts the host immune response. It functions as a homotetramer. The monomer is composed of a 7-stranded barrel with detectable sequence similarity to the 6-stranded barrel NodB homology domain of polysaccharide deacetylase (DCA)-like proteins in the CE4 superfamily, which removes N-linked or O-linked acetyl groups from cell wall polysaccharides. In contrast to typical NodB-like DCAs, HpPgdA does not exhibit a solvent-accessible polysaccharide binding groove, suggesting that the enzyme binds a small molecule at the active site.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €s¢€0€0€ €‚ácd10939, CE4_ArnD, Catalytic domain of Escherichia coli 4-deoxy-4-formamido-L-arabinose-phosphoundecaprenol deformylase ArnD and other bacterial homologs. This family is represented by Escherichia coli 4-deoxy-4-formamido-L-arabinose-phosphoundecaprenol deformylase ArnD (EC 3.5.1.n3). ArnD plays an important role in the biosynthesis of undecaprenyl phosphate alpha-4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose (alpha-L-Ara4N). It catalyzes the deformylation of 4-deoxy-4-formamido-L-arabinose-phosphoundecaprenol to 4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose-phosphoundecaprenol. The ArnD-dependent deformylation likely occurs on the inner leaflet of the inner membrane. This family also includes many uncharacterized bacterial polysaccharide deacetylases. All family members show high sequence homology to the catalytic domain of bacterial PuuE (purine utilization E) allantoinases and Helicobacter pylori peptidoglycan deacetylase (HpPgdA), and are classified within the larger carbohydrate esterase 4 (CE4) superfamily.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €t¢€0€0€ €‚cd10940, CE4_PuuE_HpPgdA_like_1, Putative catalytic domain of uncharacterized bacterial polysaccharide deacetylases similar to bacterial PuuE allantoinases and Helicobacter pylori peptidoglycan deacetylase (HpPgdA). This family contains many uncharacterized bacterial polysaccharide deacetylases (DCAs) that show high sequence similarity to the catalytic domain of bacterial PuuE allantoinases and Helicobacter pylori peptidoglycan deacetylase (HpPgdA). PuuE allantoinase appears to be metal-independent and specifically catalyzes the hydrolysis of (S)-allantoin into allantoic acid. Different from PuuE allantoinase, HpPgdA has the ability to bind a metal ion at the active site and is responsible for a peptidoglycan modification that counteracts the host immune response. Both PuuE allantoinase and HpPgdA function as homotetramers. The monomer is composed of a 7-stranded barrel with detectable sequence similarity to the 6-stranded barrel NodB homology domain of DCA-like proteins in the CE4 superfamily, which removes N-linked or O-linked acetyl groups from cell wall polysaccharides.

This family corresponds to a group of uncharacterized bacterial proteins with high sequence similarity to the catalytic domain of the six-stranded barrel rhizobial NodB-like proteins, which remove N-linked or O-linked acetyl groups from cell wall polysaccharides and belong to the larger carbohydrate esterase 4 (CE4) superfamily.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €w¢€0€0€ €‚fcd10943, CE4_NodB, Putative catalytic domain of rhizobial NodB chitooligosaccharide N-deacetylase and its bacterial homologs. This family corresponds to rhizobial NodB chitooligosaccharide N-deacetylase (EC 3.5.1.-), encoded by nodB gene from the nodulation (nod) gene cluster that is responsible for the biosynthesis of bacterial nodulation signals, termed Nod factors. NodB is involved in de-N-acetylating the nonreducing N-acetylglucosamine residue of chitooligosaccharides to allow for the attachment of the fatty acyl group by the acyltransferase NodA. The monosaccharide N-acetylglucosamine cannot be deacetylated by NodB. NodB is composed of a 6-stranded barrel catalytic domain with detectable sequence similarity to the 7-stranded barrel homology domain of polysaccharide deacetylase (DCA)-like proteins in the larger carbohydrate esterase 4 (CE4) superfamily.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €x¢€0€0€ €‚Þcd10944, CE4_SmPgdA_like, Catalytic NodB homology domain of Streptococcus mutans polysaccharide deacetylase PgdA, Bacillus subtilis YheN, and similar proteins. This family is represented by a putative polysaccharide deacetylase PgdA from the oral pathogen Streptococcus mutans (SmPgdA) and Bacillus subtilis YheN (BsYheN), which are members of the carbohydrate esterase 4 (CE4) superfamily. SmPgdA is an extracellular metal-dependent polysaccharide deacetylase with a typical CE4 fold, with metal bound to a His-His-Asp triad. It possesses de-N-acetylase activity toward a hexamer of chitooligosaccharide N-acetylglucosamine, but not shorter chitooligosaccharides or a synthetic peptidoglycan tetrasaccharide. SmPgdA plays a role in tuning cell surface properties and in interactions with (salivary) agglutinin, an essential component of the innate immune system, most likely through deacetylation of an as-yet-unidentified polysaccharide. SmPgdA shows significant homology to the catalytic domains of peptidoglycan deacetylases from Streptococcus pneumoniae (SpPgdA) and Listeria monocytogenes (LmPgdA), both of which are involved in the bacterial defense mechanism against human mucosal lysozyme. The Bacillus subtilis genome contains six polysaccharide deacetylase gene homologs: pdaA, pdaB (previously known as ybaN), yheN, yjeA, yxkH and ylxY. The biological function of BsYheN is still unknown. This family also includes many uncharacterized polysaccharide deacetylases mainly found in bacteria.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €y¢€0€0€ €‚]cd10946, CE4_Mll8295_like, Putative catalytic NodB homology domain of uncharacterized Mll8295 protein encoded from Rhizobium loti and its bacterial homologs. This family is represented by a putative polysaccharide deacetylase Mll8295 encoded from Rhizobium loti. Although its biological function still remains unknown, Mll8295 shows high sequence homology to the catalytic domain of Streptococcus pneumoniae polysaccharide deacetylase PgdA (SpPgdA), which is an extracellular metal-dependent polysaccharide deacetylase with de-N-acetylase activity toward a hexamer of chitooligosaccharide N-acetylglucosamine, but not shorter chitooligosaccharides or a synthetic peptidoglycan tetrasaccharide.

This family is represented by Streptococcus pneumoniae peptidoglycan GlcNAc deacetylase (SpPgdA), a member of the carbohydrate esterase 4 (CE4) superfamily. SpPgdA protects gram-positive bacterial cell wall from host lysozymes by deacetylating peptidoglycan N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residues. It consists of three separate domains: N-terminal, middle and C-terminal (catalytic) domains. The catalytic NodB homology domain is similar to the deformed (beta/alpha)8 barrel fold adopted by other CE4 esterases, which harbors a mononuclear metalloenzyme employing a conserved His-His-Asp zinc-binding triad closely associated with conserved catalytic base (aspartic acid) and acid (histidine) to carry out acid/base catalysis. The enzyme is able to accept GlcNAc3 as a substrate, with the N-acetyl of the middle sugar being removed by the enzyme. This family also includes Bacillus subtilis BsYjeA protein encoded by the yjeA gene, which is one of the six polysaccharide deacetylase gene homologs (pdaA, pdaB/ybaN, yheN, yjeA, yxkH and ylxY) in the Bacillus subtilis genome. Although homology comparison shows that the BsYjeA protein contains a polysaccharide deacetylase domain, and was predicted to be a membrane-bound xylanase or a membrane-bound chitooligosaccharide deacetylase, more recent research indicates BsYjeA might be a novel non-specific secretory endonuclease which creates random nicks progressively on the two strands of dsDNA, resulting in highly distinguishable intermediates/products very different in chemical and physical compositions over time. In addition, BsYjeA shares several enzymatic properties with the well-understood DNase I endonuclease. Both enzymes are active on ssDNA and dsDNA, both generate random nicks, and both require Mg2+ or Mn2+ for hydrolytic activity.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €{¢€0€0€ €‚“cd10948, CE4_BsPdaA_like, Catalytic NodB homology domain of Bacillus subtilis polysaccharide deacetylase PdaA, and its bacterial homologs. The Bacillus subtilis genome contains six polysaccharide deacetylase gene homologs: pdaA, pdaB (previously known as ybaN), yheN, yjeA, yxkH and ylxY. This family is represented by Bacillus subtilis pdaA gene encoding polysaccharide deacetylase BsPdaA, which is a member of the carbohydrate esterase 4 (CE4) superfamily. BsPdaA deacetylates peptidoglycan N-acetylmuramic acid (MurNAc) residues to facilitate the formation of muramic delta-lactam, which is required for recognition of germination lytic enzymes. BsPdaA deficiency leads to the absence of muramic delta-lactam residues in the spore cortex. Like other CE4 esterases, BsPdaA consists of a single catalytic NodB homology domain that appears to adopt a deformed (beta/alpha)8 barrel fold with a putative substrate binding groove harboring the majority of the conserved residues. It utilizes a general acid/base catalytic mechanism involving a tetrahedral transition intermediate, where a water molecule functions as the nucleophile tightly associated to the zinc cofactor.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €|¢€0€0€ €‚¦cd10949, CE4_BsPdaB_like, Putative catalytic NodB homology domain of Bacillus subtilis putative polysaccharide deacetylase PdaB, and its bacterial homologs. The Bacillus subtilis genome contains six polysaccharide deacetylase gene homologs: pdaA, pdaB (previously known as ybaN), yheN, yjeA, yxkH and ylxY. This family is represented by the putative polysaccharide deacetylase PdaB encoded by the pdaB gene on sporulation of Bacillus subtilis. Although its biochemical properties remain to be determined, the PdaB (YbaN) protein is essential for maintaining spores after the late stage of sporulation and is highly conserved in spore-forming bacteria. The glycans of the spore cortex may be candidate PdaB substrates. Based on sequence similarity, the family members are classified as carbohydrate esterase 4 (CE4) superfamily members. However, the classical His-His-Asp zinc-binding motif of CE4 esterases is missing in this family.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €}¢€0€0€ €‚¤cd10950, CE4_BsYlxY_like, Putative catalytic NodB homology domain of uncharacterized protein YlxY from Bacillus subtilis and its bacterial homologs. The Bacillus subtilis genome contains six polysaccharide deacetylase gene homologs: pdaA, pdaB (previously known as ybaN), yheN, yjeA, yxkH and ylxY. This family is represented by Bacillus subtilis putative polysaccharide deacetylase BsYlxY, encoded by the ylxY gene, which is a member of the carbohydrate esterase 4 (CE4) superfamily. Although its biological function still remains unknown, BsYlxY shows high sequence homology to the catalytic domain of Bacillus subtilis pdaB gene encoding a putative polysaccharide deacetylase (BsPdaB), which is essential for the maintenance of spores after the late stage of sporulation and is highly conserved in spore-forming bacteria. However, disruption of the ylxY gene in B. subtilis did not cause any sporulation defect. Moreover, the Asp residue in the classical His-His-Asp zinc-binding motif of CE4 esterases is mutated to a Val residue in this family. Other catalytically relevant residues of CE4 esterases are also not conserved, which suggest that members of this family may be inactive.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €~¢€0€0€ €‚cd10951, CE4_ClCDA_like, Catalytic NodB homology domain of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum chitin deacetylase and similar proteins.

ClCDA catalyzes the hydrolysis of N-acetamido groups of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in chitin, converting it to chitosan in fungal cell walls. It consists of a single catalytic domain similar to the deformed (alpha/beta)8 barrel fold adopted by other CE4 esterases, which encompasses a mononuclear metalloenzyme employing a conserved His-His-Asp zinc-binding triad closely associated with the conserved catalytic base (aspartic acid) and acid (histidine), to carry out acid/base catalysis. It possesses a highly conserved substrate-binding groove, with subtle alterations that influence substrate specificity and subsite affinity. Unlike its bacterial homologs, ClCDA contains two intramolecular disulfide bonds that may add stability to this secreted protein. The family also includes many uncharacterized deacetylases and hypothetical proteins mainly from eukaryotes, which show high sequence similarity to ClCDA.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¢€0€0€ €‚Gcd10952, CE4_MrCDA_like, Catalytic NodB homology domain of Mucor rouxii chitin deacetylase and similar proteins.

MrCDA is an acidic glycoprotein with a very stringent specificity for beta1-4-linked N-acetylglucosamine homopolymers. It requires at least four residues (chitotetraose) for catalysis, and can achieve extensive deacetylation on chitin polymers. MrCDA shows high sequence similarity to Colletotrichum lindemuthianum chitin deacetylase (endo-chitin de-N-acetylase, ClCDA), which consists of a single catalytic domain similar to the deformed (beta/alpha)8 barrel fold adopted by the carbohydrate esterase 4 (CE4) superfamily, which encompasses a mononuclear metalloenzyme employing a conserved His-His-Asp zinc-binding triad closely associated with the conserved catalytic base (aspartic acid) and acid (histidine) to carry out acid/base catalysis.

This family is represented by Streptomyces lividans acetylxylan esterase (SlAXE, EC 3.1.1.72), a member of the carbohydrate esterase 4 (CE4) superfamily. SlAXE deacetylates O-acetylated xylan, a key component of plant cell walls. It shows no detectable activity on generic esterase substrates including para-nitrophenyl acetate. It is specific for sugar-based substrates and will precipitate acetylxylan as a result of deacetylation. SlAXE also functions as a chitin and chitooligosaccharide de-N-acetylase with equal efficiency to its activity on xylan. SlAXE forms a dimer. Each monomer contains a catalytic NodB homology domain with the same overall topology and a deformed (beta/alpha)8 barrel fold as other CE4 esterases, which encompasses a mononuclear metalloenzyme employing a conserved His-His-Asp zinc-binding triad closely associated with the conserved catalytic base (aspartic acid) and acid (histidine), to carry out acid/base catalysis.

CtAXE deacetylates O-acetylated xylan, a key component of plant cell walls. It shows no detectable activity on generic esterase substrates including para-nitrophenyl acetate. It is specific for sugar-based substrates and will precipitate acetylxylan, as a consequence of deacetylation. CtAXE is a monomeric protein containing a catalytic NodB homology domain with the same overall topology and a deformed (beta/alpha)8 barrel fold as other CE4 esterases. However, due to differences in the topography of the substrate-binding groove, the chemistry of the active center, and metal ion coordination, CtAXE has different metal ion preference and lacks activity on N-acetyl substrates. It is significantly activated by Co2+. Moreover, CtAXE displays distinctly different ligand coordination to the metal ion, utilizing an aspartate, a histidine, and four water molecules, as opposed to the conserved His-His-Asp zinc-binding triad of other CE4 esterases.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €‚¢€0€0€ €‚`cd10955, CE4_BH0857_like, Putative catalytic NodB homology domain of uncharacterized BH0857 protein from Bacillus halodurans and its bacterial homologs.

PgaB catalyzes the N-deacetylation of poly-beta-1,6-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (PGA), a biofilm adhesin polysaccharide that stabilizes biofilms of E. coli and other bacteria. PgaB contains an N-terminal NodB homology domain with a 5-stranded beta/alpha barrel, and a C-terminal carbohydrate binding domain required for PGA N-deacetylation, which may be involved in binding to unmodified poly-beta-1,6-GlcNAc and assisting catalysis by the deacetylase domain.

Allantoinase (EC 3.5.2.5) can hydrolyze allantoin((2,5-dioxoimidazolidin-4-yl)urea), one of the most important nitrogen carrier for some plants, soil animals, and microorganisms, to allantoate. DAL1 gene from Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes an allantoinase. However, some organisms possess allantoinase activity but lack DAL1 allantoinase. In those organisms, a defective allantoinase gene, named puuE (purine utilization E), encodes an allantoinase that specifically catalyzes the hydrolysis of (S)-allantoin into allantoic acid. PuuE allantoinase is related to polysaccharide deacetylase (DCA), one member of the carbohydrate esterase 4 (CE4) superfamily, that removes N-linked or O-linked acetyl groups of cell wall polysaccharides, and lacks sequence similarity with the known DAL1 allantoinase that belongs to the amidohydrolase superfamily. PuuE allantoinase functions as a homotetramer. Its monomer is composed of a 7-stranded barrel with detectable sequence similarity to the 6-stranded barrel NodB homology domain of DCAs. It appears to be metal-independent and acts on a small substrate molecule, which is distinct from the common features of DCAs that are normally metal ion dependent and recognize multimeric substrates. This family also includes a chitin deacetylase 1 (SpCDA1) encoded by the Schizosaccharomyces pombe cda1 gene.

The neutral proteinase II from Aspergillus oryzae (NpII) unfolds reversibly upon incubation at higher temperatures, and loss in activity is mainly due to autoproteolysis. MEP20 is encoded by the mepB gene, which appears to be associated with the cytoplasmic degradation of small peptides. PepJ peptidase is a thermostable enzyme released under carbon starvation.

Its reaction products are oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5' phosphoryl groups. Although its primary substrate is single-stranded, it may also introduce single-stranded breaks in double-stranded DNA or RNA, or DNA-RNA hybrids. It is used as a reagent in nuclease protection assays and in removing single stranded tails from DNA molecules to create blunt ended molecules and opening hairpin loops generated during synthesis of double stranded cDNA. P1 nuclease cleaves its substrate at every position yielding nucleoside 5' monophosphates, and it does not recognize or act on double-stranded DNA.

E or "early" set domains are associated with the catalytic domain of the glycogen debranching enzyme at the N-terminal end. Glycogen debranching enzymes have both 4-alpha-glucanotransferase and amylo-1,6-glucosidase activities. As a transferase, it transfers a segment of a 1,4-alpha-D-glucan to a new 4-position in an acceptor, which may be glucose or another 1,4-alpha-D-glucan.

By signaling the effect of Sema4C and Sema4G, the plexin B2 receptor plays important roles in neural tube closure and cerebellar granule cell development. Mice lacking Plexin B2 demonstrated defects in closure of the neural tube and disorganization of the embryonic brain. In developing kidney, Sema4C-Plexin B2 signaling modulates ureteric branching. Plexin B2 is expressed both in the pretubular aggregates and the ureteric epithelium in the developing kidney. Deletion of Plexin B2 results in renal hypoplasia and occasional double ureters.

MET is encoded by the c-met protooncogene. MET is a receptor tyrosine kinase that binds its ligand, hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF). HGF/SF and MET are essential for the development of several tissues and organs, including the placenta, liver, and several groups of skeletal muscles. It also plays a major role in the abnormal migration of cancer cells as a result of overexpression or MET mutations. MET is composed of an alpha-beta heterodimer. The extracellular alpha chain is disulfide linked to the beta chain, which contains an extracellular ligand-binding region with a Sema domain, a PSI domain and four IPT repeats, a transmembrane segment, and an intracellular catalytic tyrosine kinase domain. The cytoplasmic C-terminal region acts as a docking site for multiple protein substrates, including Grb2, Gab1, STAT3, Shc, SHIP-1 and Src.

RON receptor tyrosine kinase is a Macrophage-stimulating protein (MSP) receptor. Upon binding of MSP, RON is activated via autophosphorylation within its kinase catalytic domain, resulting in a wide range of effects, including proliferation, tubular morphogenesis, angiogenesis, cellular motility and invasiveness. By interacting with downstream signaling molecules, it regulates macrophage migration, phagocytosis, and nitric oxide production. RON has been implicated in cancers of the breast, colon, pancreas and ovaries because both splice variants and receptor overexpression have been identified in these tumors. The Sema domain is located at the N-terminus and contains four disulfide bonds formed by eight conserved cysteine residues. It serves as ligand recognition and binding model.

They co-occur with villin headpiece domains, leucine-rich repeats, and several other domains. These gelsolin-related actin binding proteins (GRABPs) play regulatory roles in the assembly and disassembly of actin filaments; they are involved in F-actin capping, uncapping, severing, or the nucleation of actin filaments. Severing of actin filaments is Ca2+ dependent. Villins are also linked to generating bundles of F-actin with uniform filament polarity, which is most likely mediated by their extra villin headpiece domain. Many family members have also adopted functions in the nucleus, including the regulation of transcription.

Many of these proteins enhance the turnover rate of actin and interact with actin monomers as well as actin filaments. Abp1 and drebrin (developmentally regulated brain protein) are multidomain proteins with an N-terminal ADF homology domain and one or more C-terminal SH3 domains. They have been shown to interact with polymeric F-actin, but not with monomeric G-actin, and do not appear to promote the disassembly of actin filaments.

They appear to interfere with the capping of actin filaments in Dictyostelium, and may not be able to bind monomeric globular actin. A role for coactosins as chaperones stabilizing 5-lipoxygenase (5LO) has been suggested; 5LO plays a crucial role in leukotriene synthesis.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ö¢€0€0€ €‚’cd11283, ADF_GMF-beta_like, ADF-homology domain of glia maturation factor beta and related proteins.

Most of these proteins enhance the turnover rate of actin and interact with actin monomers as well as actin filaments. The glia maturation factor (GMF), however, does not bind actin but interacts with the Arp2/3 complex (which contains actin-related proteins, amongst others) and suppresses Arp2/3 activity, inducing the dissociation of branched daughter filaments from their mother filaments. This family includes both mammalian GMF isoforms, GMF-beta and GMF-gamma. GMF-beta regulates cellular growth, fission, differentiation and apoptosis.

Mammalian twinfilin may also cap the barbed ends of F-actin filaments and prevent further assembly (or disassembly), in a process which requires both ADF domains. The N-terminal ADF domain (Twf-N) binds G-actin with a lower affinity than Twf-C; Twf-C can also bind F-actin.

Actin depolymerization factor/cofilin-like domains (ADF domains) are present in a family of essential eukaryotic actin regulatory proteins. These proteins enhance the turnover rate of actin, and interact with actin monomers (G-actin) as well as actin filaments (F-actin), typically with a preference for ADP-G-actin subunits. The basic function of cofilin is to promote disassembly of aged actin filaments. Vertebrates have three isoforms of cofilin: cofilin-1 (Cfl1, non-muscle cofilin), cofilin-2 (muscle cofilin), and ADF (destrin). When bound to actin monomers, cofilins inhibit their spontaneous exchange of nucleotides. The cooperative binding to (aged) ADP-F-actin induces a local change in the actin filament structure and further promotes aging.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ú¢€0€0€ €‚Icd11287, Sec23_C, C-terminal Actin depolymerization factor-homology domain of Sec23.

E or "early" set domains are associated with the catalytic domain of esterase at the N-terminal end. Esterases catalyze the hydrolysis of organic esters to release an alcohol or thiol and acid. The term esterase can be applied to enzymes that hydrolyze carboxylate, phosphate and sulphate esters, but is more often restricted to the first class of substrate.

Members of this family, which was originally identified in Drosophila and called mago nashi, are integral members of the exon junction complex (EJC). The EJC is a multiprotein complex that is deposited on spliced mRNAs after intron removal at a conserved position upstream of the exon-exon junction, and transported to the cytoplasm where it has been shown to influence translation, surveillance, and localization of the spliced mRNA. It consists of four core proteins (eIF4AIII, Barentsz [Btz], Mago, and Y14), mRNA, and ATP and is supposed to be a binding platform for more peripherally and transiently associated factors along mRNA travel. Mago and Y14 form a stable heterodimer that stabilizes the complex by inhibiting eIF4AIII's ATPase activity. In humans, but not Drosophila, EJC is involved in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) via binding to Upf3b, a central NMD effector. EJC is stripped off the mRNA during the first round of translation and then the complex components are transported back into the nucleus and recycled.

This domain is found C-terminal to the M14 carboxypeptidase (CP) N/E subfamily containing zinc-binding enzymes that 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 enzymatically active members (carboxypeptidase N, E, M, D, and Z), as well as non-active members (carboxypeptidase-like protein 1, -2, aortic CP-like protein, and adipocyte enhancer binding protein-1) which lack the critical active site and substrate-binding residues considered necessary for activity. 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. For M14 CPs, it has been suggested that this domain may assist in folding of the CP domain, regulate enzyme activity, or be involved in interactions with other proteins or with membranes; for carboxypeptidase M, it may interact with the bradykinin 1 receptor at the cell surface. This domain may also be found in other peptidase families.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €œ¢€0€0€ €‚„cd11309, 14-3-3_fungi, Fungal 14-3-3 protein domain. This family containing fungal 14-3-3 domains includes the yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae (BMH1 and BMH2) and Schizosaccharomyces pombe (rad24 and rad25) isoforms. They possess distinctively variant C-terminal segments that differentiate them from the mammalian isoforms; the C-terminus is longer and BMH1/2 isoforms contain polyglutamine (polyQ) sequences of unknown function. The C-terminal segments of yeast 14-3-3 isoforms may thus behave in a different manner compared to the higher eukaryote isoforms. Yeast 14-3-3 proteins bind to numerous proteins involved in a variety of yeast cellular processes making them excellent model organisms for elucidating the function of the 14-3-3 protein family. BMH1 and BMH2 are positive regulators of rapamycin-sensitive signaling via TOR kinases while they play an inhibitory role in Rtg3p-dependent transcription involved in retrograde signaling. 14-3-3 domains are an essential part of 14-3-3 proteins, a ubiquitous class of regulatory, phosphoserine/threonine-binding proteins found in all eukaryotic cells, including yeast, protozoa and mammalian cells.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'«¢€0€0€ €‚õcd11310, 14-3-3_1, 14-3-3 protein domain.

In C. elegans, 14-3-3 proteins are SIR-2.1 binding partners which induce transcriptional activation of DAF-16 during stress and are required for the life-span extension conferred by extra copies of sir-2.1. In B. mori, the 14-3-3 proteins are expressed widely in larval and adult tissues, including the brain, fat body, Malpighian tube, silk gland, midgut, testis, ovary, antenna, and pheromone gland, and interact with the N-terminal fragment of Hsp60, suggesting that 14-3-3 (a molecular adaptor) and Hsp60 (a molecular chaperone) work together to achieve a wide range of cellular functions in B. mori. In barley aleurone cells, 14-3-3 proteins and members of the ABF transcription factor family have a regulatory function in the gibberellic acid (GA) pathway since the balance of GA and abscisic acid (ABA) is a determining factor during transition of embryogenesis and seed germination. 14-3-3 is an essential part of 14-3-3 proteins, a ubiquitous class of regulatory, phosphoserine/threonine-binding proteins found in all eukaryotic cells, including yeast, protozoa and mammalian cells.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €'¬¢€0€0€ €‚…cd11313, AmyAc_arch_bac_AmyA, Alpha amylase catalytic domain found in archaeal and bacterial Alpha-amylases (also called 1,4-alpha-D-glucan-4-glucanohydrolase).

TreX, an archaeal glycogen-debranching enzyme has dual activities like mammals and yeast, but is structurally similar to GlgX. TreX exists in two oligomeric states, a dimer and tetramer. Isoamylase (EC 3.2.1.68) is one of the starch-debranching enzymes that catalyzes the hydrolysis of alpha-1,6-glucosidic linkages specific in alpha-glucans such as amylopectin or glycogen and their beta-limit dextrins.

GlgE isoform I from Streptomyces coelicolor has the same catalytic and very similar kinetic properties to GlgE from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. GlgE from Streptomyces coelicolor forms a homodimer with each subunit comprising five domains (A, B, C, N, and S) and 2 inserts. Domain A is a catalytic alpha-amylase-type domain that along with domain N, which has a beta-sandwich fold and forms the core of the dimer interface, binds cyclodextrins. Domain A, B, and the 2 inserts define a well conserved donor pocket that binds maltose. Cyclodextrins competitively inhibit the binding of maltooligosaccharides to the S. coelicolor enzyme, indicating that the hydrophobic patch overlaps with the acceptor binding site. This is not the case in M. tuberculosis GlgE because cyclodextrins do not inhibit this enzyme, despite acceptor length specificity being conserved.

A is a (beta/alpha) 8-barrel; B is a loop between the beta 3 strand and alpha 3 helix of A; C is the C-terminal extension characterized by a Greek key. The majority of the enzymes have an active site cleft found between domains A and B where a triad of catalytic residues (Asp, Glu and Asp) performs catalysis. Other members of this family have lost the catalytic activity as in the case of the human 4F2hc, or only have 2 residues that serve as the catalytic nucleophile and the acid/base, such as Thermus A4 beta-galactosidase with 2 Glu residues (GH42) and human alpha-galactosidase with 2 Asp residues (GH31). The family members are quite extensive and include: alpha amylase, maltosyltransferase, cyclodextrin glycotransferase, maltogenic amylase, neopullulanase, isoamylase, 1,4-alpha-D-glucan maltotetrahydrolase, 4-alpha-glucotransferase, oligo-1,6-glucosidase, amylosucrase, sucrose phosphorylase, and amylomaltase.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €.¢€0€0€ €‚ucd11362, RNase_PH_bact, Ribonuclease PH.

Peptidase M54 (archaemetzincin or archaelysin) is a zinc-dependent aminopeptidase that contains the consensus zinc-binding sequence HEXXHXXGXXH/D and a conserved Met residue at the active site, and is thus classified as a metzincin. Archaemetzincins, first identified in archaea, are also found in bacteria and eukaryotes, including two human members, archaemetzincin-1 and -2 (AMZ1 and AMZ2). AMZ1 is mainly found in the liver and heart while AMZ2 is primarily expressed in testis and heart; both have been reported to degrade synthetic substrates and peptides. The Peptidase M54 family contains an extended metzincin concensus sequence of HEXXHXXGX3CX4CXMX17CXXC such that a second zinc ion is bound to four cysteines, thus resembling a zinc finger. Phylogenetic analysis of this family reveals a complex evolutionary process involving a series of lateral gene transfer, gene loss and genetic duplication events.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €@%¢€0€0€ €‚cd11376, Imelysin-like, imelysin also called Peptidase M75. This family includes insulin-cleaving membrane protease (imelysin, ICMP), imelysin-like protein (IPPA from Psychrobacter arcticus), iron-regulated protein A (IrpA) and iron-transporter EfeO-like alginate-binding protein (Algp7). Imelysin is a membrane protein with the active site outside the cell envelope. It is also called the peptidase M75 since the HxxE sequence motif characteristic of the M14 peptidase is completely conserved. However, the overall structure and the GxHxxE motif region differ from the known HxxE metallopeptidases, suggesting that imelysin-like proteins may not be peptidases. Imelysin's cleavage of the oxidized insulin B chain shows a preference for aromatic hydrophobic amino acids at P1'. Imelysin was first identified in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and has also been shown to cleave fibrinogen. The tertiary structure shows a fold consisting of two domains, each consisting of a bundle of four helices that are similar to each other, implying an ancient gene duplication and fusion event. In addition to an imelysin-like domain, Algp7 typically contains an N-terminal cupredoxin (CUP) domain and has a deep cleft between the 4-helix bundles sufficiently large to accommodate macromolecules such as alginate polysaccharide.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €#"¢€0€0€ €‚8cd11377, Pro-peptidase_S53, Activation domain of S53 peptidases.

Human SGLT1 (hSGLT1) is a high-affinity/low-capacity glucose transporter, which can also transport galactose. In the transport mechanism, two Na+ ions first bind to the extracellular side of the transporter and induce a conformational change in the glucose binding site. This results in an increased affinity for glucose. A second conformational change in the transporter follows, bringing the Na+ and glucose binding sites to the inner surface of the membrane. Glucose is then released, followed by the Na+ ions. In the process, hSGLT1 is also able to transport water and urea and may be a major pathway for transport of these across the intestinal brush-border membrane. hSGLT1 is encoded by the SLC5A1 gene and expressed mostly in the intestine, but also in the trachea, kidney, heart, brain, testis, and prostate. The WHO/UNICEF oral rehydration solution (ORS) for the treatment of secretory diarrhea contains salt and glucose. The glucose, along with sodium ions, is transported by hSGLT1 and water is either co-transported along with these or follows by osmosis. Mutations in SGLT1 are associated with intestinal glucose galactose malabsorption (GGM). Up-regulation of intestinal SGLT1 may protect against enteric infections. SGLT1 is expressed in colorectal, head and neck, and prostate tumors. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) functions in cell survival by stabilizing SGLT1, and thereby maintaining intracellular glucose levels. SGLT1 is predicted to have 14 membrane-spanning regions. This subgroup belongs to the solute carrier 5 (SLC5)transporter family.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €$¢€0€0€ €‚‹cd11487, SLC5sbd_SGLT2, Na(+)/glucose cotransporter SGLT2 and related proteins; solute-binding domain. Human SGLT2 (hSGLT2) is a high-capacity, low-affinity glucose transporter, that plays an important role in renal glucose reabsorption. It is encoded by the SLC5A2 gene and expressed almost exclusively in renal proximal tubule cells. Mutations in hSGLT2 cause Familial Renal Glucosuria (FRG), a rare autosomal defect in glucose transport. hSGLT2 is a major drug target for regulating blood glucose levels in diabetes. hSGLT2 is predicted to have 14 membrane-spanning regions. This subgroup belongs to the solute carrier 5 (SLC5) transporter family.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €C¢€0€0€ €‚:cd11582, Axin_TNKS_binding, Tankyrase binding N-terminal segment of axin. This N-terminal region of axin mediates interactions with the ankyrin-repeat clusters 2 and 3 of tankyrase, which controls the turnover of axin via poly-ADP-ribosylation. Axin functions as a negative regulator of the WNT signaling pathway.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €9ࢀ0€0€ €‚ªcd11583, Orc6_mid, Middle domain of the origin recognition complex subunit 6. Orc6 is a subunit of the origin recognition complex in eukaryotes, and it may be involved in binding to DNA. This model describes the central or middle domain of Orc6, whose structure resembles that of TFIIB, a DNA-binding transcription factor. Orc6 appears to form distinct complexes with DNA, and a putative DNA-binding site has been identified.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €9ᢀ0€0€ €‚bcd11585, SATB1_N, N-terminal domain of SATB1 and similar proteins. SATB1, the special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 1, is involved in organizing chromosomal loci into distinct loops, creating a "loopscape" that has a direct bearing on gene expression. This N-terminal domain, which may be involved in various interactions with chromatin proteins, resembles a ubiquitin domain and has been shown to form tetramers, a function critical to SATB1-DNA interactions. The related Drosophila homeobox gene defective proventriculus (dve) plays a key role in the functional specification during endoderm development.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €9⢀0€0€ €‚cd11586, VbhA_like, VbhA antitoxin and related proteins. VbhA is the antitoxin to VbhT. The VbhT toxin of the mammalian pathogen Bartonella schoenbuchensis is responsible for the disruptive adenylation of host proteins. VbhT also induces FIC-domain-mediated growth arrest in bacteria; it is inhibited by this antitoxin which binds to block the ATP binding site of the VbhT FIC domain.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €<»¢€0€0€ €‚cd11587, Arginase-like, Arginase types I and II and arginase-like family. This family includes arginase, also known as arginase-like amidino hydrolase family, and related proteins, found in bacteria, archaea and eykaryotes. Arginase is a binuclear Mn-dependent metalloenzyme and catalyzes hydrolysis of L-arginine to L-ornithine and urea (Arg, EC 3.5.3.1), the reaction being the fifth and final step in the urea cycle, providing the path for the disposal of nitrogenous compounds. Arginase controls cellular levels of arginine and ornithine which are involved in protein biosynthesis, and in production of creatine, polyamines, proline and nitric acid. In vertebrates, at least two isozymes have been identified: type I cytoplasmic or hepatic liver-type arginase and type II mitochondrial or non-hepatic arginase. Point mutations in human arginase gene lead to hyperargininemia with consequent mental disorders, retarded development and early death. Arginase is a therapeutic target to treat asthma, erectile dysfunction, atherosclerosis and cancer.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €>8¢€0€0€ €‚cd11589, Agmatinase_like_1, Agmatinase and related proteins. This family includes known and predicted bacterial agmatinase (agmatine ureohydrolase; AUH; SpeB; EC=3.5.3.11), a binuclear manganese metalloenzyme, belonging to the ureohydrolase superfamily. It is a key enzyme in the synthesis of polyamine putrescine; it catalyzes hydrolysis of agmatine to yield urea and putrescine, the precursor for biosynthesis of higher polyamines, spermidine, and spermine. Agmatinase from Deinococcus radiodurans shows approximately 33% of sequence identity to human mitochondrial agmatinase. An analysis of the evolutionary relationship among ureohydrolase superfamily enzymes indicates the pathway involving arginine decarboxylase and agmatinase evolved earlier than the arginase pathway of polyamine.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €>9¢€0€0€ €‚Acd11592, Agmatinase_PAH, Agmatinase-like family includes proclavaminic acid amidinohydrolase. This agmatinase subfamily contains bacterial and fungal/metazoan enzymes, including proclavaminic acid amidinohydrolase (PAH, EC 3.5.3.22) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa guanidinobutyrase (GbuA) and guanidinopropionase (GpuA). PAH hydrolyzes amidinoproclavaminate to yield proclavaminate and urea in clavulanic acid biosynthesis. Clavulanic acid is an effective inhibitor of beta-lactamases and is used in combination with amoxicillin to prevent the beta-lactam rings of the antibiotic from hydrolysis and, thus keeping the antibiotic biologically active. GbuA hydrolyzes 4-guanidinobutyrate (4-GB) into 4-aminobutyrate and urea while GpuA hydrolyzes 3-guanidinopropionate (3-GP) into beta-alanine and urea. Mutation studies show that significant variations in two active site loops in these two enzymes may be important for substrate specificity. This subfamily belongs to the ureohydrolase superfamily, which includes arginase, agmatinase, proclavaminate amidinohydrolase, and formiminoglutamase.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €>:¢€0€0€ €‚Icd11593, Agmatinase-like_2, Agmatinase and related proteins. This family includes known and predicted bacterial and archaeal agmatinase (agmatine ureohydrolase; AUH; SpeB; EC=3.5.3.11), a binuclear manganese metalloenzyme that belongs to the ureohydrolase superfamily. It is a key enzyme in the synthesis of polyamine putrescine; it catalyzes hydrolysis of agmatine to yield urea and putrescine, the precursor for biosynthesis of higher polyamines, spermidine, and spermine. As compared to E. coli where two paths to putrescine exist, via decarboxylation of an amino acid, ornithine or arginine, a single path is found in Bacillus subtilis, where polyamine synthesis starts with agmatine; the speE and speB encode spermidine synthase and agmatinase, respectively. The level of agmatinase synthesis is very low, allowing strict control on the synthesis of putrescine and therefore, of all polyamines, consistent with polyamine levels in the cell. This subfamily belongs to the ureohydrolase superfamily, which includes arginase, agmatinase, proclavaminate amidinohydrolase, and formiminoglutamase.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €>;¢€0€0€ €‚«cd11598, HDAC_Hos2, Class I histone deacetylases including ScHos2 and SpPhd1. This subfamily includes Class I histone deacetylase (HDAC) Hos2 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae as well as a histone deacetylase Phd1 from Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Hos2 binds to the coding regions of genes during gene activation, specifically it deacetylates the lysines in H3 and H4 histone tails. It is preferentially associated with genes of high activity genome-wide and is shown to be necessary for efficient transcription. Thus, Hos2 is directly required for gene activation in contrast to other class I histone deacetylases. Protein encoded by phd1 is inhibited by trichostatin A (TSA), a specific inhibitor of histone deacetylase, and is involved in the meiotic cell cycle in S. pombe. Class 1 HDACs are Zn-dependent enzymes that catalyze hydrolysis of N(6)-acetyl-lysine residues in histone amino termini to yield a deacetylated histone (EC 3.5.1.98).¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €><¢€0€0€ €‚ãcd11599, HDAC_classII_2, Histone deacetylases and histone-like deacetylases, classII. This subfamily includes eukaryotic as well as bacterial Class II histone deacetylase (HDAC) and related proteins. Deacetylases of class II are Zn-dependent enzymes that catalyze hydrolysis of N(6)-acetyl-lysine residues of histones (EC 3.5.1.98) and possibly other proteins to yield deacetylated histones/other proteins. In D. discoideum, where four homologs (HdaA, HdaB, HdaC, HdaD) have been identified, HDAC activity is important for regulating the timing of gene expression during development. Also, inhibition of HDAC activity by trichostatin A is shown to cause hyperacetylation of the histone and a delay in cell aggregation and differentiation.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €>=¢€0€0€ €‚cd11600, HDAC_Clr3, Class II Histone deacetylase Clr3 and similar proteins. Clr3 is a class II Histone deacetylase Zn-dependent enzyme that catalyzes hydrolysis of an N(6)-acetyl-lysine residue of a histone to yield a deacetylated histone (EC 3.5.1.98). Clr3 is the homolog of the class-II HDAC HdaI in S. cerevisiae, and is essential for silencing in heterochromatin regions, such as centromeric regions, ribosomal DNA, the mating-type region and telomeric loci. Clr3 has also been implicated in the regulation of stress-related genes; the histone acetyltransferase, Gcn5, in S. cerevisiae, preferentially acetylates global histone H3K14 while Clr3 preferentially deacetylates H3K14ac, and therefore, interplay between Gcn5 and Clr3 is crucial for the regulation of many stress-response genes.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €>>¢€0€0€ €‚cd11602, Ndc10, Ndc10 component of the yeast centromere-binding factor 3. Ndc10 is a multidomain protein conserved in Saccharomycotina that interacts with kinetochore components. This model characterizes the majority of the protein; some family members may have an additional C-terminal domain that is homologous to transcriptional activators (GCR1_C). Ndc10 is part of the centromere-binding factor 3 (CBF3) complex in budding yeast. The CBF3 complex contains four essential proteins, Ndc10, Cep3, Ctf13, and Skp1. CBF3/Ndc10 is essential for the recruitment of the centromeric nucleosome and formation of the kinetochore. The Kinetochore is the large, multiprotein assembly that serves to connect condensed sister chromatids to the mitotic spindle. Ndc10 forms a dimer and it has non-sequence-specific DNA binding activity via the DNA backbone. Ndc10 also plays an important role in the coordination of cell division. It has been noted that the protein bears resemblance to the tyrosine recombinases (type IB topoisomerase/lambda-integrase).¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €9㢀0€0€ €‚ªcd11603, ThermoDBP, Thermoproteales single-stranded DNA-binding (SSB) domain. ThermoDBP is a SSB protein of the Thermoproteales. SSB proteins are essential for the genome maintenance of all known cellular organisms. Many SSBs contain an OB fold domain, albeit with low sequence conservation and OB fold-containing SSB proteins have been detected in all three domains of life. However, one group of Crenarchaea, the Thermoproteales, lack SSB encoding genes. The Thermoproteales SSB protein, ThermoDBP, lacks the OB fold and binds specifically to ssDNA with low sequence specificity. Its three-dimensional structure resembles that of the Hut operon positive regulatory protein HutP.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €9䢀0€0€ €‚šcd11604, RTT106_N, histone chaperone RTT106, regulator of Ty1 transposition protein 106; N-terminal homodimerization domain. This cd includes the N-terminal homodimerization domain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rtt106, a histone chaperone. In addition to this domain, Rtt106 contains two C-terminal pleckstrin-homology (PH) domains. The acetylation of lysine 56 in histone H3 (H3K56ac) is implicated in regulating nucleosome disassembly during gene transcription, and nucleosome assembly during DNA replication and repair. Rtt106 has been shown to aid in the efficient deposition of newly synthesized H3K56ac onto replicating DNA. The interaction of Rtt106 with (H3-H4)2, most likely in the form of a (H3-H4)2 tetramer, is important for gene silencing and for the DNA damage response. Data supports a combinatorial interaction: this N-terminal domain homodimerizes and intercalates between the two H3-H4 components of the (H3-H4)2 tetramer, independent of acetylation, and the two double PH domains bind the K56-containing region of H3. Acetylation of K56 increases the affinity of the interaction. Rtt106 also interacts with both the SWI/SNF and RSC chromatin remodeling complexes and is involved in their cell-cycle dependent recruitment to histone gene pairs regulated by the HIR co-repressor complex (HTA1-HTB1, HHT1-HHF1, and HHT2-HHF2). Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rtt106 also plays a role in a role in regulating Ty1 transposition.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €9墀0€0€ €‚Ecd11606, COE_DBD, Colier/Olf/Early B-cell factor (EBF) DNA Binding Domain.

The COE transcription factor is a regulator of development in several organs and tissues that contain the DBD domain as well as IPT/TIG (immunoglobulin-like, Plexins, transcription factors/transcription factor immunoglobulin) and basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domains. COE has four members in mammals (COE1-4) with high sequence similarity at the amino-terminal region. COE_DBD requires a zinc ion to bind DNA and contains a zinc finger motif (H-X(3)-C-X(2)-C-X(5)-C) termed the zinc knuckle. COE is homo- or heterodimerized through the bHLH domain to bind DNA. COE1-4 each has a variant due to alternative splicing.

D-galactarate dehydratase (EC 4.2.1.42) eliminates water from D-galactarate to yield 5-dehydro-4-deoxy-D-glucarate, initializing the degradation of D-galactarate.

In the anaerobic pathway, two enzymes are required to produce precorrin-8X: CbiE and CbiT, which can be fused as CbiET (sometimes called CobL). In the aerobic pathway, the bifunctional enzyme is called CobL.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €>¢€0€0€ €‚ucd11645, Precorrin_2_C20_MT, Precorrin-2 C20-methyltransferase, also named CobI or CbiL. Precorrin-2 C20-methyltransferase participates in the pathway toward the biosynthesis of cobalamin (vitamin B12). There are two distinct cobalamin biosynthetic pathways in bacteria. The aerobic pathway requires oxygen, and cobalt is inserted late in the pathway; the anaerobic pathway does not require oxygen, and cobalt insertion is the first committed step towards cobalamin synthesis. Precorrin-2 C20-methyltransferase catalyzes methylation at the C-20 position of a cyclic tetrapyrrole ring of precorrin-2 using S-adenosylmethionine as a methyl group source to produce precorrin-3A. In the anaerobic pathway, cobalt is inserted into precorrin-2 by CbiK to generate cobalt-precorrin-2, which is the substrate for CbiL, a C20 methyltransferase. In Clostridium difficile, CbiK and CbiL are fused into a bifunctional enzyme. In the aerobic pathway, the precorrin-2 C20-methyltransferase is named CobI. This family includes CbiL and CobI precorrin-2 C20-methyltransferases, both as stand-alone enzymes and when CbiL forms part of a bifunctional enzyme.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €>¢€0€0€ €‚îcd11646, Precorrin_3B_C17_MT, Precorrin-3B C(17)-methyltransferase (CobJ/CbiH). Precorrin-3B C(17)-methyltransferase participates in the pathway toward the biosynthesis of cobalamin (vitamin B12). There are two distinct cobalamin biosynthetic pathways. The aerobic pathway requires oxygen, and cobalt is inserted late in the pathway; the anaerobic pathway does not require oxygen, and cobalt insertion is the first committed step towards cobalamin synthesis. This model includes CobJ of the aerobic pathway and CbiH of the anaerobic pathway, both as stand-alone enzymes and when CobJ forms part of a bifunctional enzyme. In the aerobic pathway, once CobG has generated precorrin-3b, CobJ catalyzes the methylation of precorrin-3b at C-17 to form precorrin-4 (the extruded methylated C-20 fragment is left attached as an acyl group at C-1). In the corresponding anaerobic pathway, CbiH carries out this ring contraction, using cobalt-precorrin-3b as a substrate to generate a tetramethylated delta-lactone.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €>¢€0€0€ €‚cd11647, Diphthine_synthase, Diphthine synthase, also known as DPH5. Diphthine synthase, also known as diphthamide biosynthesis S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferase, participates in the posttranslational modification of a specific histidine residue in elongation factor 2 (EF-2) of eukaryotes and archaea to diphthamide. It catalyzes the trimethylation step in diphthamide biosynthesis. Diphthamide is the target of diphtheria toxin, which ADP-ribosylates diphthamide and inhibits protein synthesis, leading to host cell death.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €>¢€0€0€ €‚Ðcd11648, RsmI, Ribosomal RNA small subunit methyltransferase I, also known as rRNA (cytidine-2'-O-)-methyltransferase RsmI. Proteins in this family catalyze the 2-O-methylation of the ribose of cytidine 1402 (C1402) in 16S rRNA using S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM or Ado-Met) as the methyl donor. RsmI proteins employ the 30S subunit (not the 16S rRNA) as a substrate, suggesting that the methylation reaction occurs at a late step during 30S assembly in the cell.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €>¢€0€0€ €‚Ùcd11649, RsmI_like, Uncharacterized subfamily of the tetrapyrrole methylase family similar to ribosomal RNA small subunit methyltransferase I (RsmI).

This fungal domain family includes the N-terminal region of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae AGC kinases YPK1 and YPK2, which were found to be essential for the proliferation of yeast. YPK1 is required for cell growth and acts as a downstream kinase in the sphingolipid-mediated signaling pathway of yeast. It also plays a role in efficient endocytosis and in the maintenance of cell wall integrity.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €<Å¢€0€0€ €‚cd11652, SSH-N, N-terminal domain conserved in slingshot (SSH) phosphatases. This domain or region conserved in Bilateria is found N-terminal to the DEK_C-like and catalytic domains of slingshot phosphatases. Slingshot is a cofilin-specific phosphatase. Dephosphorylation reactivates cofilin, which in turn depolymerizes actin and is thus required for actin filament reorganization. Slingshot is a member of the dual-specificity protein phosphatase family. This N-terminal SSH region may be involved in P-cofilin binding (the model C-terminus plus the DEK_C-like domain, which are characterized as the "B" domain in some of the literature), and may be required for the F-actin mediated activation of slingshot (the N-terminal region of this model, sometimes referred to as the "A" domain).¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €<Æ¢€0€0€ €‚‘cd11653, rap1_RCT, C-terminal domain of RAP1 recruits proteins to telomeres. The RAP1 (repressor activator protein 1) C-terminal domain (RCT) mediates interactions with other proteins such as TRF2 (human), Rif1, Rif2, Sir3, Sir4 (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), and Taz1 (Schizosaccharomyces pombe) at telomeres and other loci. RAP1, identified in budding yeast as repressor/activator protein 1, is a well-conserved telomere binding protein, also found in fission yeast and mammals. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, RAP1 directly binds DNA and is involved in transcriptional activation, gene silencing, as well as binding at numerous sites at each telemore, where it functions in telomere length regulation, telomeric position effect gene silencing and telomere end protection. Human RAP1 apparently does not bind telomeric DNA directly, but binds telomere repeat binding factor 2 (TRF2) via the RCT. RAP1 might act by suppressing nonhomologous end-joining. Yeast RAP1 has two myb-type DNA binding modules, and an RCT domain that recruits Sir proteins 3 and 4 (Sir3, Sir4) for gene silencing, and Rif1 and Rif2 for telomere length maintenance. Schizosaccharomyces pombe RAP1 (spRap1), like human RAP1, lacks direct DNA-binding activity and is localized to telomeres via Taz1, an ortholog of TRF1 and TRF2.

TRF2 binds DNA and recruits RAP1 (via binding to the RAP1 protein c-terminus (RCT)) and TIN2 in the protection of telomeres from DNA repair machinery. Metazoan shelterin consists of 3 DNA-binding proteins (TRF2, TRF1 and POT1) and 3 recruited proteins that bind to one or more of these DNA-binding proteins (RAP1, TIN2, TPP1). Human TRF1 and TRF2 bind double-stranded DNA. hTRF2 consists of a basic N-terminus, a TRF homology domain, the RAP1 binding motif (RBM) described by this model, the TIN2 binding motif (TBM), and a myb-like DNA binding domain.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €>I¢€0€0€ €‚ûcd11655, rap1_myb-like, DNA-binding modules of yeast Rap1 and related proteins. Yeast Rap1 DNA-binding activity is mediated by a pair of DNA-binding modules comprised of 2 3-helix bundles with an N-terminal arm, closely matching the structure of homeodomain and myb-type proteins. Human Rap1 has a single myb-like module, and may not bind DNA directly. Rap1, identified in budding yeast as repressor-activator protein 1, is a conserved telomere binding protein, also identified in fission yeast and mammals. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Rap1 directly binds DNA and is involved in transcriptional activation, gene silencing, as well as binding at numerous binding sites at each telomere, where it functions in telomere length regulation, telomeric position effect gene silencing and telomere end protection. Human Rap1 apparently does not bind telomeric DNA directly, but binds telomere repeat binding factor 2 (TRF2) via the Rap C-terminal domain (RCT). Rap1 may act by suppressing non-homologous end-joining. Yeast Rap1 has 2 myb-type DNA binding modules, a BRCT domain, and a RCT domain that recruits Sir3 and Sir4 proteins for gene silencing and Rif1 and Rif2 for telomere length maintenance. Human Rap1 has a similar domain architecture but has a single myb-like domain.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €>J¢€0€0€ €‚cd11656, FBX4_GTPase_like, C-terminal GTPase-like domain of F-Box Only Protein 4. F-box proteins are involved in substrate recognition as part of SCF (Skp1-Cul1-Rbx1-F-box protein) ubiquitin ligase complexes. Fbx4 (or Fbxo4) binds to the telomere repeat binding factor 1 (TRF1), whose activity at telomeres is regulated in part by selective ubiquitination and degradation. This ubiquitination of TRF1 is mediated by Fbx4, which binds to the TRFH domain of TRF1, via the C-terminal domain characterized by this model, a module resembling a small GTPase domain that lacks the GTP-binding site. When bound to telomeres, TIN2 acts to protect TRF1 from SCF-Fbx4 mediated ubiquitination. Tankyrase-mediated ADP-ribosylation releases TRF1 from telomeres, rendering them susceptible to ubiquitination and degradation, which in turn promotes telomere elongation. Fbx4 has also been reported to target cyclin D1 for degradation by the proteasome, a mechanism ensuring the fidelity of DNA replication. More recently, these findings have been disputed.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €>K¢€0€0€ €‚®cd11657, TIN2_N, N-terminal domain of TRF-interacting nuclear factor 2; shelterin complex protein of telomeres. TIN2 is one of the six proteins of shelterin complex, which acts to protect telomeres from DNA damage repair machinery. TIN2 binds directly to TRF1 and TRF2 and stabilizes TRF2 complex-telomere binding by tethering it to the TRF1 complex. TIN2 binding to TRF2 is primarily via the TRF binding motif (TBM) region and the N-terminus, while the far C-terminal region has lower affinity. The TIN2 TBM, but not the N-terminal region, is involved in TIN2 binding to TRF1. Truncation of the TIN2 N-terminus in mouse results in telomere elongation, suggesting a negative regulatory function of this region. Three shelterin components (TRF1, TRF2, POT1) bind DNA and 3 components (TIN2, RAP1, TPP1) are recruited by these DNA binding factors. TRF1 activity at telomeres is regulated in part by selective ubiquitination and degradation. Ubiquitination of TRF1 is mediated by Fbx4, which binds TRF1 in the TRFH domain, via a small GTPase module. When bound to telomeres, TIN2 acts to protect TRF1 from SCF-Fbx4 mediated ubiquitination. F-box proteins act in substrate recognition as part of Skp1-Cul1-Rbx1-F- box (SCF) protein complexes. Tankyrase-mediated ADP-ribosylation releases TRF1 from telomeres, rendering them susceptible to ubiquitination and degradation, promoting telomere elongation.

TRF2 binds DNA and recruits RAP1 (via binding to the RAP1 protein c-terminal (RCT)) and TIN2 in the protection of telomeres from DNA repair machinery. Metazoan shelterin consists of 3 DNA binding proteins (TRF2, TRF1, and POT1) and 3 recruited proteins that bind to one or more of these DNA-binding proteins (RAP1, TIN2, TPP1).

SANT (SWI3, ADA2, N-CoR and TFIIIB) DNA-binding domains are a diverse set of proteins that share a common 3 alpha-helix bundle. MTA3 has been shown to interact with nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase (NuRD) proteins CHD4 and HDAC1, and the core cohesin complex protein RAD21 in the ovary, and regulate G2/M progression in proliferating granulosa cells. RERE belongs to the atrophin family and has been identified as a nuclear receptor corepressor; altered expression levels of RERE are associated with cancer in humans while mutations of Rere in mice cause failure in closing the anterior neural tube and fusion of the telencephalic and optic vesicles during embryogenesis.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €>O¢€0€0€ €‚cd11662, apollo_TRF2_binding, TRF2-binding region of apollo and similar proteins. Apollo protein, a DNA repair nuclease, is recruited to telomeres by TRF2 where it is associated with the principle components of the shelterin complex. Apollo is a member of the metallo-beta-lactamase family that is required for telomere integrity during S phase; its 5' exonuclease activity is regulated by binding to TRF2. Apollo and TRF2 also suppress damage to engineered interstitial telomere repeat tracts at the chromosome ends. TRF2, which binds preferentially to positively supercoiled DNA substrates, together with Apollo, negatively regulates the amount of DNA topoisomerases (TOP1, TOP2-alpha, and TOP2-beta) at telomeres since they also act in the same pathway of telomere protection. The shelterin complex protein identified in mammals is principally comprised of 6 factors that act to protect telomeres from DNA damage repair machinery. 3 components (TRF1, TRF2, POT1) bind DNA and 3 components are recruited by these factors (TIN2, RAP1, TPP1).¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €>P¢€0€0€ €‚Ècd11663, GH119_BcIgtZ-like, putative catalytic domain of glycoside hydrolase family 119 (GH119).

This subfamily is represented by Golgi alpha-mannosidase II (GMII, also known as mannosyl-oligosaccharide 1,3- 1,6-alpha mannosidase, EC 3.2.1.114, Man2A1), a monomeric, membrane-anchored class II alpha-mannosidase existing in the Golgi apparatus of eukaryotes. GMII plays a key role in the N-glycosylation pathway. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of the terminal of both alpha-1,3-linked and alpha-1,6-linked mannoses from the high-mannose oligosaccharide GlcNAc(Man)5(GlcNAc)2 to yield GlcNAc(Man)3(GlcNAc)2(GlcNAc, N-acetylglucosmine), which is the committed step of complex N-glycan synthesis. GMII is activated by zinc or cobalt ions and is strongly inhibited by swainsonine. Inhibition of GMII provides a route to block cancer-induced changes in cell surface oligosaccharide structures. GMII has a pH optimum of 5.5-6.0, which is intermediate between those of acidic (lysosomal alpha-mannosidase) and neutral (ER/cytosolic alpha-mannosidase) enzymes.

Eukaryotic Sm proteins form part of specific small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) that are involved in the processing of pre-mRNAs to mature mRNAs, and are a major component of the eukaryotic spliceosome. Most snRNPs consist of seven Sm proteins (B/B', D1, D2, D3, E, F and G) arranged in a ring on a uridine-rich sequence (Sm site), plus a small nuclear RNA (snRNA) (either U1, U2, U5 or U4/6). Since archaebacteria do not have any splicing apparatus, their Sm proteins may play a more general role. Archaeal LSm proteins are likely to represent the ancestral Sm domain.

They function to mediate RNA-RNA interactions and RNA biogenesis. All Sm proteins contain a common sequence motif in two segments, Sm1 and Sm2, separated by a short variable linker. Eukaryotic Sm proteins form part of specific small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) that are involved in the processing of pre-mRNAs to mature mRNAs, and are a major component of the eukaryotic spliceosome. Most snRNPs consist of seven Sm proteins (B/B', D1, D2, D3, E, F and G) arranged in a ring on a uridine-rich sequence (Sm site), plus a small nuclear RNA (snRNA) (either U1, U2, U5 or U4/6). Since archaebacteria do not have any splicing apparatus, their Sm proteins may play a more general role. Archaeal Lsm proteins are likely to represent the ancestral Sm domain.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €> ¢€0€0€ €‚+cd11680, HDAC_Hos1, Class I histone deacetylases Hos1 and related proteins. Saccharomyces cerevisiae Hos1 is responsible for Smc3 deacetylation. Smc3 is an important player during the establishment of sister chromatid cohesion. Hos1 belongs to the class I histone deacetylases (HDACs). HDACs are Zn-dependent enzymes that catalyze hydrolysis of N(6)-acetyl-lysine residues in histone amino termini to yield a deacetylated histone (EC 3.5.1.98). Enzymes belonging to this group participate in regulation of a number of processes through protein (mostly different histones) modification (deacetylation). Class I histone deacetylases in general act via the formation of large multiprotein complexes. Other class I HDACs are animal HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3, HDAC8, fungal RPD3 and HOS2, plant HDA9, protist, archaeal and bacterial (AcuC) deacetylases.

HDAC6 is the only histone deacetylase with internal duplication of two catalytic domains which appear to function independently of each other, and also has a C-terminal ubiquitin-binding domain. It is located in the cytoplasm and associates with microtubule motor complex, functioning as the tubulin deacetylase and regulating microtubule-dependent cell motility.

SPRY domains, first identified in the SP1A kinase of Dictyostelium and rabbit Ryanodine receptor (hence the name), are homologous to B30.2. SPRY domains have been identified in at least 11 protein families, covering a wide range of functions, including regulation of cytokine signaling (SOCS), RNA metabolism (DDX1 and hnRNP), immunity to retroviruses (TRIM5alpha), intracellular calcium release (ryanodine receptors or RyR) and regulatory and developmental processes (HERC1 and Ash2L). B30.2 also contains residues in the N-terminus that form a distinct PRY domain structure; i.e. B30.2 domain consists of PRY and SPRY subdomains. B30.2 domains comprise the C-terminus of three protein families: BTNs (receptor glycoproteins of immunoglobulin superfamily); several TRIM proteins (composed of RING/B-box/coiled-coil or RBCC core); Stonutoxin (secreted poisonous protein of the stonefish Synanceia horrida). TRIM/RBCC proteins are involved in a variety of processes, including apoptosis, cell cycle regulation, cell growth, senescence, viral response, meiosis, cell differentiation, and vesicular transport. Genes belonging to this family are implicated in several human diseases that vary from cancer to rare genetic syndromes. The PRY-SPRY domain in these TRIM families is suggested to serve as the target binding site. While SPRY domains are evolutionarily ancient, B30.2 domains are a more recent adaptation where the SPRY/PRY combination is a possible component of immune defense. Mutations found in the SPRY-containing proteins have shown to cause Mediterranean fever and Opitz syndrome.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €|+¢€0€0€ €‚Ûcd11710, GINS_A_psf1, Alpha-helical domain of GINS complex protein Psf1.

The GINS complex is involved in replication of archaeal and eukayotic genomes. The archaeal DNA replication system is a simplified version of that of the eukaryotes. Like its eukaryotic counterpart, the archaeal GINS complex is tetrameric, but instead of four different subunits (Sld5, Psf1, Psf2 and Psf3) it consists of two different proteins named Gins51 and Gins23. All GINS subunits are homologs and they can be classified into two groups. One group (the eukayotic Sld5 and Psf1, as well as the archaeal Gins51) has the alpha-helical (A) domain at the N-terminus and the beta-strand domain (B) at the C-terminus (this arrangement is called ABtype). The arrangement of the A and B domains is reversed in the second group (eukaryotic Psf2 and Psf3 and archaeal Gins23, also referred to as BAtype). The overall fold of each archaeal subunit and the overall tetrameric assembly of GINS are similar, but the relative locations of the C-terminal small domains are different with respect to the alpha helical domain characterized by this model, resulting in different subunit contacts in the archaeal GINS complex.Some archaea may have a homotetrameric GINS complex (4 copies of an AB-type module).¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €>H¢€0€0€ €‚’cd11715, THUMP_AdoMetMT, THUMP domain associated with S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferases.

STIM1 (stromal interaction module 1) is a metazoan transmembrane protein located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane, which functions as a sensor for ER calcium ion levels and activates store-operated Ca2+ influx channels (SOCs), such as the Orai1 Ca2+ channel located in the plasma membrane. STIM1 has an N-terminal Ca-binding EF-hand domain, which is located in the ER lumen. Responding to the release of Ca2+ from the ER, STIM1 was found to aggregate near the plasma membrane and contact Orai1. This model describes a region near the C-terminus of STIM1, which has been shown to mediate the interaction with Orai1 and has been labeled SOAR (STIM1 Orai1-activating region). STIM1 has also been linked to sensing oxidative and temperature-variation stress and may play a rather general role in mediating calcium signaling in response to stress. Dimerization of STIM1 via the SOAR domain appears required for the activation of the Orai1 calcium channel. A model for STIM1 activation has been proposed, in which an inhibitory helix N-terminal to the SOAR domain prevents STIM1 clustering or aggregation, and in which conformational changes triggered by depletion of the calcium stores allow the clustering and activation of Orai1.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €>t¢€0€0€ €‚ cd11723, YabN_N, N-terminal S-AdoMet dependent methylase domain of Bacillus subtilis YabN and related proteins.

During glucose deprivation-induced cellular stress, HSPA9 plays an important role in the suppression of apoptosis by inhibiting a conformational change in Bax that allow the release of cytochrome c. DnaK modulates the heat shock response in Escherichia coli. It protects E. coli from protein carbonylation, an irreversible oxidative modification that increases during organism aging and bacterial growth arrest. Under severe thermal stress, it functions as part of a bi-chaperone system: the DnaK system and the ring-forming AAA+ chaperone ClpB (Hsp104) system, to promote cell survival. DnaK has also been shown to cooperate with GroEL and the ribosome-associated Escherichia coli Trigger Factor in the proper folding of cytosolic proteins. S. cerevisiae Ssc1p is the major HSP70 chaperone of the mitochondrial matrix, promoting translocation of proteins from the cytosol, across the inner membrane, to the matrix, and their subsequent folding. Ssc1p interacts with Tim44, a peripheral inner membrane protein associated with the TIM23 protein translocase. It is also a subunit of the endoSceI site-specific endoDNase and is required for full endoSceI activity. Ssc1p plays roles in the import of Yfh1p, a nucleus-encoded mitochondrial protein involved in iron homeostasis (and a homolog of human frataxin, implicated in the neurodegenerative disease, Friedreich's ataxia). Ssc1 also participates in translational regulation of cytochrome c oxidase (COX) biogenesis by interacting with Mss51 and Mss51-containing complexes.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €>Ë¢€0€0€ €‚³cd11734, Ssq1_like_NBD, Nucleotide-binding domain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ssq1 and similar proteins.

Typically, HSP70s have a nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) and a substrate-binding domain (SBD). The nucleotide sits in a deep cleft formed between the two lobes of the NBD. The two subdomains of each lobe change conformation between ATP-bound, ADP-bound, and nucleotide-free states. ATP binding opens up the substrate-binding site; substrate-binding increases the rate of ATP hydrolysis. Hsp70 chaperone activity is regulated by various co-chaperones: J-domain proteins and nucleotide exchange factors (NEFs).

HSPA12B may be important for host defense in microglia-mediated immune response. HSPA12B expression is up-regulated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory response in the spinal cord, and mostly located in active microglia; this induced expression may be regulated by activation of MAPK-p38, ERK1/2 and SAPK/JNK signaling pathways. Overexpression of HSPA12B also protects against LPS-induced cardiac dysfunction and involves the preserved activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €>΢€0€0€ €‚‡cd11737, HSPA4_NBD, Nucleotide-binding domain of HSPA4.

It reduces the protein aggregation and cytotoxicity associated with Polyglutamine (PolyQ) diseases, including Huntington's disease, which are a group of inherited neurodegenerative disorders sharing the characteristic feature of having insoluble protein aggregates in neurons. The expression of HSPH1 is elevated in various malignant tumors, including malignant melanoma, and there is a direct correlation between HSPH1 expression and B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (B-NHLs) aggressiveness and proliferation.

The C-terminal region of TIN2 contains the TRF-binding motif (TBM), while the TIN2 N-terminal region acts in the modulation of TRF1 activity via the inhibition of tankyrase 1. TIN2 binding to TRF2 is primarily via the TRF binding motif (TBM) and the N-terminus, while the far C-terminal region interacts with lower affinity. The TIN2 TBM, but not the N-terminal region, is involved in TIN2 binding to TRF1. Truncation of the TIN2 N-terminus in mouse results in telomere elongation, suggesting a a negative regulatory function of this region. TIN2 is a shelterin complex protein identified in mammals, one of 6 factors that act to protect telomeres from DNA damage repair machinery. Three shelterin components (TRF1, TRF2, POT1) bind DNA and 3 components (TIN2, RAP1, TPP1) are recruited by these DNA binding factors. TIN2 binds directly to TRF1 and TRF2 and stabilizes TRF2 complex-telomere binding by tethering it to the TRF1 complex. TRF1 activity at telomeres is regulated in part by selective ubiquitination and degradation. Ubiquitination of TRF1 is mediated by Fbx4, which binds TRF1 in the TRFH domain, via a small GTPase module. When bound to telomeres, TIN2 acts to protect TRF1 from SCF-Fbx4 mediated ubiquitination. F-box proteins act in substrate recognition as part of SCF complexes (SCF: Skp1-Cul1-Rbx1-F- box protein). Tankyrase-mediated ADP-ribosylation releases TRF1 from telomeres, rendering them susceptible to ubiquitination and degradation, promoting telomere elongation. TIN2 also binds TPP1, which recruits POT1 to telomeres.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¬¢€0€0€ €‚+cd11743, Cthe_2751_like, Uncharacterized protein domain similar to Clostridium thermocellum 2751.

It is a functionally diverse group which includes the Mg2+ transporters of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium CorAs (which can also transport Co2+, and Ni2+ ), the CorA Co2+ transporter from the hyperthermophilic Thermotoga maritima, and the Zn2+ transporter Salmonella typhimurium ZntB, which mediates the efflux of Zn2+ (and Cd2+). It includes five Saccharomyces cerevisiae members: i) two plasma membrane proteins, the Mg2+ transporter Alr1p/Swc3p and the putative Mg2+ transporter, Alr2p, ii) two mitochondrial inner membrane Mg2+ transporters: Mfm1p/Lpe10p, and Mrs2p, and iii) and the vacuole membrane protein Mnr2p, a putative Mg2+ transporter. It also includes a family of Arabidopsis thaliana members (AtMGTs), some of which are localized to distinct tissues, and not all of which can transport Mg2+. Thermotoga maritima CorA and Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Salmonella typhimurium ZntB form funnel-shaped homopentamers, the tip of the funnel is formed from two C-terminal transmembrane (TM) helices from each monomer, and the large opening of the funnel from the N-terminal cytoplasmic domains. The GMN signature motif of the MIT superfamily occurs just after TM1, mutation within this motif is known to abolish Mg2+ transport through Salmonella typhimurium CorA, Mrs2p, and Alr1p. Natural variants such as GVN and GIN, as in some ZntB family proteins, may be associated with the transport of different divalent cations, such as zinc and cadmium. The functional diversity of MIT transporters may also be due to minor structural differences regulating gating, substrate selection, and transport.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Aj¢€0€0€ €‚Ìcd11745, Yos9_DD, C-terminal dimerization domain (DD) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Yos9 and related proteins.

In response to DNA damage or oxidative stress, Abl is transported to the nucleus where it induces apoptosis. In chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) patients, an aberrant translocation results in the replacement of the first exon of Abl with the BCR (breakpoint cluster region) gene.

This leads to uncontrolled proliferation, morphological transformation and anti-apoptotic effects. BCR-Abl is the target of selective inhibitors, such as imatinib (Gleevec), used in the treatment of CML. Abl2, also known as ARG (Abelson-related gene), is thought to play a cooperative role with Abl in the proper development of the nervous system.

It facilitates the trafficking and proper localization of the alpha1 subunit to the cellular plasma membrane. Vertebrates contain four different beta subunits from distinct genes (beta1-4); each exists as multiple splice variants. All are expressed in the brain while other tissues show more specific expression patterns.

Cytokinesis protein 3 (Cyk3 or Cyk3p) is a component of the actomyosin ring independent cytokinesis pathway in yeast. It interacts with Inn1 and facilitates its recruitment to the bud neck, thereby promoting cytokinesis. Cyk3p contains an N-terminal SH3 domain and a C-terminal transglutaminase-like domain. The Cyk3p SH3 domain binds to the C-terminal proline-rich region of Inn1. SH3 domains bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs; they play a role in the regulation of enzymes by intramolecular interactions, changing the subcellular localization of signal pathway components and mediate multiprotein complex assemblies.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €?V¢€0€0€ €‚pcd11890, MIA, Melanoma Inhibitory Activity protein. MIA is a single domain protein that adopts a Src Homology 3 (SH3) domain-like fold; it contains an additional antiparallel beta sheet and two disulfide bonds compared to classical SH3 domains. MIA is secreted from malignant melanoma cells and it plays an important role in melanoma development and invasion. MIA is expressed by chondrocytes in normal tissues and may be important in the cartilage cell phenotype. Unlike classical SH3 domains, MIA does not bind proline-rich ligands. It binds peptide ligands with sequence similarity to type III human fibronectin repeats.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €?W¢€
