They are composed of four subunits: alpha1, alpha2delta, beta, and gamma. The beta subunit is a soluble and intracellular protein that interacts with the transmembrane alpha1 subunit. 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.

The inactive PKA holoenzyme is a heterotetramer composed of two phosphorylated and active catalytic subunits with a dimer of regulatory (R) subunits. Activation is achieved through the binding of the important second messenger cAMP to the R subunits, which leads to the dissociation of PKA into the R dimer and two active subunits. There are two classes of R subunits, RI and RII; each exists as two isoforms (alpha and beta) from distinct genes. These functionally non-redundant R isoforms allow for specificity in PKA signaling. The R subunit contains an N-terminal dimerization/docking (D/D) domain, a linker with an inhibitory sequence (IS), and two c-AMP binding domains. RI and RII subunits are distinguished by their IS; RII subunits contain a phosphorylation site and are both substrates and inhibitors while RI subunits are pseudo-substrates. RI subunits require ATP and Mg ions to form a stable holoenzyme while RII subunits do not. The D/D domain dimerizes to form a four-helix bundle that serves as a docking site for A-kinase-anchoring proteins (AKAPs), which facilitates the localization of PKA to specific sites in the cell.

EGFR (HER1, ErbB1) is a receptor PTK (RTK) containing an extracellular EGF-related ligand-binding region, a transmembrane (TM) helix, and a cytoplasmic region with a tyr kinase domain and a regulatory C-terminal tail. It is activated by ligand-induced dimerization, leading to the phosphorylation of tyr residues in the C-terminal tail, which serve as binding sites for downstream signaling molecules. Ligands for ErbB1 include EGF, heparin binding EGF-like growth factor (HBEGF), epiregulin, amphiregulin, TGFalpha, and betacellulin. Upon ligand binding, ErbB1 can form homo- or heterodimers with other EGFR/ErbB subfamily members. The TM domain not only serves as a membrane anchor, but also plays an important role in receptor dimerization and optimal activation. Mutations in the TM domain of ErbB1 have been associated with increased breast cancer risk. The ErbB1 signaling pathway is one of the most important pathways regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, survival, and growth. A number of monoclonal antibodies and small molecule inhibitors have been developed that target ErbB1, including the antibodies Cetuximab and Panitumumab, which are used in combination with other therapies for the treatment of colorectal cancer and non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). The small molecule inhibitors Gefitinib (Iressa) and Erlotinib (Tarceva), already used for NSCLC, are undergoing clinical trials for other types of cancer including gastrointestinal, breast, head and neck, and bladder.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €@>¢€0€0€ €‚þcd12094, TM_ErbB2, Transmembrane domain of ErbB2, a Protein Tyrosine Kinase. PTKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to tyrosine (tyr) residues in protein substrates. ErbB2 (HER2, HER2/neu) is a member of the EGFR (HER, ErbB) subfamily of proteins, which are receptor PTKs (RTKs) containing an extracellular EGF-related ligand-binding region, a transmembrane (TM) helix, and a cytoplasmic region with a tyr kinase domain and a regulatory C-terminal tail. It is activated by ligand-induced dimerization, leading to the phosphorylation of tyr residues in the C-terminal tail, which serve as binding sites for downstream signaling molecules. ErbB2 does not bind to any known EGFR subfamily ligands, but contributes to the kinase activity of all possible heterodimers. It acts as the preferred partner of other ligand-bound EGFR proteins and functions as a signal amplifier, with the ErbB2-ErbB3 heterodimer being the most potent pair in mitogenic signaling. The TM domain not only serves as a membrane anchor, but also plays an important role in receptor dimerization and optimal activation. Mutations in the TM domain of ErbB2 have been associated with increased breast cancer risk. ErbB2 plays an important role in cell development, proliferation, survival and motility. Overexpression of ErbB2 results in its activation and downstream signaling, even in the absence of ligand. ErbB2 overexpression, mainly due to gene amplification, has been shown in a variety of human cancers. Its role in breast cancer is especially well-documented. ErbB2 is up-regulated in about 25% of breast tumors and is associated with increases in tumor aggressiveness, recurrence and mortality. ErbB2 is a target for monoclonal antibodies and small molecule inhibitors, which are being developed as treatments for cancer. The first humanized antibody approved for clinical use is Trastuzumab (Herceptin), which is being used in combination with other therapies to improve the survival rates of patients with HER2-overexpressing breast cancer.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €@?¢€0€0€ €‚7cd12095, TM_ErbB3, Transmembrane domain of ErbB3, a Protein Tyrosine Kinase.

ErbB receptors are activated by ligand-induced dimerization, leading to the phosphorylation of tyr residues in the C-terminal tail, which serve as binding sites for downstream signaling molecules. ErbB3 contains an impaired tyr kinase domain, which lacks crucial residues for catalytic activity against exogenous substrates but is still able to bind ATP and autophosphorylate. ErbB3 binds the neuregulin ligands, NRG1 and NRG2, and it relies on its heterodimerization partners for activity following ligand binding. The ErbB2-ErbB3 heterodimer constitutes a high affinity co-receptor capable of potent mitogenic signaling. The TM domain not only serves as a membrane anchor, but also plays an important role in receptor dimerization and optimal activation. Mutations in the TM domain of ErbB receptors have been associated with increased breast cancer risk. ErbB3 participates in a signaling pathway involved in the proliferation, survival, adhesion, and motility of tumor cells.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €@@¢€0€0€ €‚°cd12097, DD_RI_PKA, Dimerization/Docking domain of the Type I Regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) is a serine/threonine kinase (STK), catalyzing the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates.

This family includes fatty acyl-CoA synthetases that can activate medium-chain to long-chain fatty acids. They catalyze the ATP-dependent acylation of fatty acids in a two-step reaction. The carboxylate substrate first reacts with ATP to form an acyl-adenylate intermediate, which then reacts with CoA to produce an acyl-CoA ester. The fatty acyl-CoA synthetases are responsible for fatty acid degradation as well as physiological regulation of cellular functions via the production of fatty acyl-CoA esters. The fatty acyl-CoA synthetase from Thermus thermophiles in this family was shown catalyzing the long-chain fatty acid, myristoyl acid, while another member in this family, the AlkK protein identified from Pseudomonas oleovorans, targets medium chain fatty acids.

This family is composed of AMPKs, microtubule-associated protein/microtubule affinity regulating kinases (MARKs), yeast Kcc4p-like proteins, plant calcineurin B-Like (CBL)-interacting protein kinases (CIPKs), and similar proteins. They are serine/threonine protein kinases (STKs) that catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to S/T residues on protein substrates. AMPKs act as sensors for the energy status of the cell and are activated by cellular stresses that lead to ATP depletion such as hypoxia, heat shock, and glucose deprivation, among others. MARKs phosphorylate the tau protein and related microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) on tubulin binding sites to induce detachment from microtubules, and are involved in the regulation of cell shape and polarity, cell cycle control, transport, and the cytoskeleton. Kcc4p and related proteins are septin-associated proteins that are involved in septin organization and in the yeast morphogenesis checkpoint coordinating the cell cycle with bud formation. CIPKs interact with the calcineurin B-like (CBL) calcium sensors to form a signaling network that decode specific calcium signals triggered by a variety of environmental stimuli including salinity, drought, cold, light, and mechanical perturbation, among others. All members of this family contain an N-terminal catalytic kinase domain and a C-terminal regulatory domain which is also called kinase associated domain 1 (KA1) in some cases. The C-terminal regulatory domain serves as a protein interaction domain in AMPKs and CIPKs. In MARKs and Kcc4p-like proteins, this domain binds phospholipids and may be involved in membrane localization.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €A€¢€0€0€ €‚cd12121, MARK_C_like, C-terminal kinase associated domain 1 (KA1), a phospholipid binding domain, of microtubule affinity-regulating kinases, and similar domains. Microtubule-associated protein/microtubule affinity regulating kinases (MARKs), also called partition-defective (Par-1) kinases, are serine/threonine protein kinases (STKs) that catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to S/T residues on protein substrates. They phosphorylate the tau protein and related microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) on tubulin binding sites to induce detachment from microtubules, and are involved in the regulation of cell shape and polarity, cell cycle control, transport, and the cytoskeleton. Mammals contain four proteins, MARK1-4, encoded by distinct genes belonging to this subfamily, with additional isoforms arising from alternative splicing. In yeast, MARK/Par-1 homologs are called Kin1/2 kinases. Kin1 is a membrane-associated kinase that is involved in regulating cytokinesis and the cell surface. MARKs contain an N-terminal catalytic kinase domain, a ubiquitin-associated domain (UBA), and a C-terminal kinase associated domain (KA1). The KA1 domain binds anionic phospholipids and may be involved in membrane localization as well as in auto-inhibition of the kinase domain.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €A¢€0€0€ €‚Òcd12122, AMPKA_C, C-terminal regulatory domain of 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) alpha catalytic subunit. AMPK, a serine/threonine protein kinase (STK), catalyzes the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to S/T residues on protein substrates. It acts as a sensor for the energy status of the cell and is activated by cellular stresses that lead to ATP depletion such as hypoxia, heat shock, and glucose deprivation, among others. AMPK is a heterotrimer of three subunits: alpha, beta, and gamma. Co-expression of the three subunits is required for kinase activity; in the absence of one, the other two subunits get degraded. The AMPK alpha subunit is the catalytic subunit and it contains an N-terminal kinase domain and a C-terminal regulatory domain (RD). Vertebrates contain two isoforms of the alpha subunit, alpha1 and alpha2, which are encoded by different genes, PRKAA1 and PRKAA2, respectively. The C-terminal RD of the AMPK alpha subunit is involved in AMPK heterotrimer formation. It mainly interacts with the C-terminal region of the beta subunit to form a tight alpha-beta complex that is associated with the gamma subunit. The AMPK alpha subunit RD also contains an auto-inhibitory region that interacts with the kinase domain; this inhibition is negated by the interaction with the AMPK gamma subunit. AMPK is conserved throughout evolution; the AMPK alpha subunit homologs in yeast and plants are called Snf1 and SnRK1 (Snf1 related kinase), respectively.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €A‚¢€0€0€ €‚vcd12124, Pgbs, Protoglobins (Pgbs). Pgbs are single-domain globins of yet unknown biological function. Included in this subfamily are Pgbs from the strictly anaerobic methanogen Methanosarcina acetivorans (MaPgb) and from the obligate aerobic hyperthermophile Aeropyrum pernix (ApPgb). MaPgb is a dimeric globin which in addition to the 3-on-3 helical sandwich contains an N-terminal extension. This extension, along with other Pgb-specific loops buries the heme within the protein; two orthogonal apolar tunnels grant access of small ligand molecules to the heme. Like other globins, MaPgb can bind O2, CO and NO reversibly in vitro, however it has as unusually low O2 dissociation rate, along with a large structural distortion of the heme moiety. CO binding to and dissociation from the heme occurs through biphasic kinetics. ApPgb also contains heme, and can bind O2, CO and NO. This subfamily belongs to a family which includes the globin-coupled-sensors (GCSs) and single-domain sensor globins.

The RasGap domain speeds up the hydrolysis of GTP in Ras-like proteins acting as a negative regulator.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Aa¢€0€0€ €‚5cd12207, RasGAP_IQGAP3, Ras-GTPase Activating Domain of IQ motif containing GTPase activating protein 3. This family represents the IQ motif containing GTPase activating protein 3 (IQGAP3), which associates with Ras GTP-binding proteins. A primary function of IQGAP proteins is to modulate cytoskeletal architecture. There are three known IQGAP family members: IQGAP1, IQGAP2 and IQGAP3. Human IQGAP1 and IQGAP2 share 62% identity. IQGAPs are multi-domain molecules having a calponin-homology (CH) domain which binds F-actin, IQGAP-specific repeats, a single WW domain, four IQ motifs that mediate interactions with calmodulin, and a RasGAP related domain that binds active Rho family GTPases. IQGAP is an essential regulator of cytoskeletal function. IQGAP1 negatively regulates Ras family GTPases by stimulating their intrinsic GTPase activity, the protein actually lacks GAP activity. Both IQGAP1 and IQGAP2 specifically bind to Cdc42 and Rac1, but not to RhoA. Despite of their similarities to part of the sequence of RasGAP, neither IQGAP1 nor IQGAP2 interacts with Ras. IQGAP3, only present in mammals, regulates the organization of the cytoskeleton under the regulation of Rac1 and Cdc42 in neuronal cells. The depletion of IQGAP3 is shown to impair neurite or axon outgrowth in neuronal cells with disorganized cytoskeleton.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Ab¢€0€0€ €‚pcd12208, septicolysin_like, putative septicolysin, cholesterol-dependent cytolysin family and related proteins.

While septolysin is poorly characterized, it has been identified as a a cholesterol-dependent cytolysin, and acts to facilitate the infection of certain pathogenic bacteria to cells. Cholesterol-dependent cytolysins are pore-forming toxins that aid in bacterial pathogenesis of various gram positive species. Pores are formed by oligomerization into ring-like structures.

Autophagy in a eukaryotic mechanism in which cytoplasm is enclosed in double-membraned autophagosomes which fuse with a vacuole for transport into the lumen. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, alpha-mannosidase is selectively directed to the vacuole via the direct interaction with Atg19 (and paralog Atg34) in the Cvt pathway. Ams1 binding domains (ABD) Atg19/34 have a immunoglobulin fold with eight beta-strands.

Bacteriocins such as pesticin are produced by gram-negative bacteria to attack related bacteria stains. Pst is transported to the periplasm via FyuA, an outer-membrane receptor of Y. pestis and E. coli, where it hydrolyzes peptidoglycan via the cleavage of N-acetylmuramic acid and C4 of N-acetylglucosamine.

SLT11 gene encoding protein (Slt11p) is a splicing factor in yeast, which is required for spliceosome assembly. Slt11p has two distinct biochemical properties: RNA-annealing and RNA-binding activities. RBM22 is the homolog of SLT11 in vertebrate.

Also, NOL8 is a phosphorylated protein that contains an N-terminal RNA recognition motif (RRM), also known as RBD (RNA binding domain) or RNP (ribonucleoprotein domain), suggesting NOL8 is likely to function as a novel RNA-binding protein.

This subfamily corresponds to the RRM in a new class of SCAFs (SR-like CTD-associated factors), including SCAF4, SCAF8 and similar proteins. The biological role of SCAF4 remains unclear, but it shows high sequence similarity to SCAF8 (also termed CDC5L complex-associated protein 7, or RNA-binding motif protein 16, or CTD-binding SR-like protein RA8). SCAF8 is a nuclear matrix protein that interacts specifically with a highly serine-phosphorylated form of the carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (pol II). The pol II CTD plays a role in coupling transcription and pre-mRNA processing. In addition, SCAF8 co-localizes primarily with transcription sites that are enriched in nuclear matrix fraction, which is known to contain proteins involved in pre-mRNA processing. Thus, SCAF8 may play a direct role in coupling with both, transcription and pre-mRNA processing, processes. SCAF8 and SCAF4 both contain a conserved N-terminal CTD-interacting domain (CID), an atypical RNA recognition motif (RRM), also termed RBD (RNA binding domain) or RNPs (ribonucleoprotein domain), and serine/arginine-rich motifs.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¬!¢€0€0€ €‚åcd12228, RRM_ENOX, RNA recognition motif (RRM) in the cell surface Ecto-NOX disulfide-thiol exchanger (ECTO-NOX or ENOX) proteins.

They are growth-related and drive cell enlargement, and may play roles in aging and neurodegenerative diseases. ENOX proteins function as terminal oxidases of plasma membrane electron transport (PMET) through catalyzing electron transport from plasma membrane quinones to extracellular oxygen, forming water as a product. They are also hydroquinone oxidases that oxidize externally supplied NADH, hence NOX. ENOX proteins harbor a di-copper center that lack flavin. ENOX proteins display protein disulfide interchange activity that is also possessed by protein disulfide isomerase. In contrast to the classic protein disulfide isomerases, ENOX proteins lack the double CXXC motif. This family includes two ENOX proteins, ENOX1 and ENOX2. ENOX1, also termed candidate growth-related and time keeping constitutive hydroquinone [NADH] oxidase (cCNOX), or cell proliferation-inducing gene 38 protein, or Constitutive Ecto-NOX (cNOX), is the constitutively expressed cell surface NADH (ubiquinone) oxidase that is ubiquitous and refractory to drugs. ENOX2, also termed APK1 antigen, or cytosolic ovarian carcinoma antigen 1, or tumor-associated hydroquinone oxidase (tNOX), is a cancer-specific variant of ENOX1 and plays a key role in cell proliferation and tumor progression. In contrast to ENOX1, ENOX2 is drug-responsive and harbors a drug binding site to which the cancer-specific S-peptide tagged pan-ENOX2 recombinant (scFv) is directed. Moreover, ENOX2 is specifically inhibited by a variety of quinone site inhibitors that have anticancer activity and is unique to the surface of cancer cells.

In addition, SREK1 contains two (some contain only one) RNA recognition motifs (RRMs), also termed RBDs (RNA binding domains) or RNPs (ribonucleoprotein domains), and two serine-arginine (SR)-rich domains (SR domains) separated by an unusual glutamic acid-lysine (EK) rich region. The RRM and SR domains are highly conserved among other members of the SR superfamily. However, the EK domain is unique to SREK1. It plays a modulatory role controlling SR domain function by involvement in the inhibition of both constitutive and alternative splicing and in the selection of splice-site. .¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¬B¢€0€0€ €‚Tcd12261, RRM1_3_MRN1, RNA recognition motif 1 and 3 in RNA-binding protein MRN1 and similar proteins.

This subfamily corresponds to the RRM1 of PARP-14, also termed aggressive lymphoma protein 2, a member of the B aggressive lymphoma (BAL) family of macrodomain-containing PARPs. It is expressed in B lymphocytes and interacts with the IL-4-induced transcription factor Stat6. It plays a fundamental role in the regulation of IL-4-induced B-cell protection against apoptosis after irradiation or growth factor withdrawal. It mediates IL-4 effects on the levels of gene products that regulate cell survival, proliferation, and lymphomagenesis. PARP-14 acts as a transcriptional switch for Stat6-dependent gene activation. In the presence of IL-4, PARP-14 activates transcription by facilitating the binding of Stat6 to the promoter and release of HDACs from the promoter with an IL-4 signal. In contrast, in the absence of a signal, PARP-14 acts as a transcriptional repressor by recruiting HDACs. Moreover, the absence of PARP-14 protects against Myc-induced developmental block and lymphoma. Thus, PARP-14 may play an important role in Myc-induced oncogenesis. Research indicates that PARP-14 is also a binding partner with phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI)/ autocrine motility factor (AMF). It can inhibit PGI/AMF ubiquitination, thus contributing to its stabilization and secretion.

PARP-10 is a novel oncoprotein c-Myc-interacting protein with poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase activity. It is localized to the nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments. In addition to PARP activity, PARP-10 is also involved in the control of cell proliferation by inhibiting c-Myc- and E1A-mediated cotransformation of primary cells. PARP-10 may also play a role in nuclear processes including the regulation of chromatin, gene transcription, and nuclear/cytoplasmic transport. PARP-10 contains two N-terminal RNA recognition motifs (RRMs), also termed RBDs (RNA binding domains) or RNPs (ribonucleoprotein domains), two overlapping C-terminal domains composed of a glycine-rich region and a region with homology to catalytic domains of PARP enzymes (PARP domain). In addition, PARP-10 contains two ubiquitin-interacting motifs (UIM). PARP-14, also termed aggressive lymphoma protein 2, is a member of the B aggressive lymphoma (BAL) family of macrodomain-containing PARPs. Like PARP-10, PARP-14 also includes two RRMs at the N-terminus. Nmi, also termed N-myc and STAT interactor, is an interferon inducible protein that interacts with c-Myc, N-Myc, Max and c-Fos, and other transcription factors containing bHLH-ZIP, bHLH or ZIP domains. Besides binding Myc proteins, Nmi also associates with all the Stat family of transcription factors except Stat2. In response to cytokine (e.g. IL-2 and IFN-gamma) stimulation, Nmi can enhance Stat-mediated transcriptional activity through recruiting the Stat1 and Stat5 transcriptional coactivators, CREB-binding protein (CBP) and p300. IFP 35 is an interferon-induced leucine zipper protein that can specifically form homodimers. Distinct from known bZIP proteins, IFP 35 lacks a basic domain critical for DNA binding. In addition, IFP 35 may negatively regulate other bZIP transcription factors by protein-protein interaction. For instance, it can form heterodimers with B-ATF, a member of the AP1 transcription factor family. Both Nmi and IFP35 harbor one RRM. RBM43 is a putative RNA-binding protein containing one RRM, but its biological function remains unclear. .¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¬k¢€0€0€ €‚•cd12302, RRM_scSet1p_like, RNA recognition motif in budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae SET domain-containing protein 1 (scSet1p) and similar proteins.

However, it is more closely related to Set1 found in mammalian. Moreover, unlike scSet1p, spSet1p is not required for heterochromatin assembly in fission yeast. spSet1p contains an N-terminal RNA recognition motif (RRM), also termed RBD (RNA binding domain) or RNP (ribonucleoprotein domain), followed by a conserved SET domain that may play a role in DNA repair and telomere function. .¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¬m¢€0€0€ €‚ƒcd12304, RRM_Set1, RNA recognition motif in the Set1-like family of histone-lysine N-methyltransferases.

Set1A and Set1B proteins exhibit a largely non-overlapping subnuclear distribution in euchromatic nuclear speckles, strongly suggesting that they bind to a unique set of target genes and thus make non-redundant contributions to the epigenetic control of chromatin structure and gene expression. With the exception of the catalytic component, the subunit composition of the Set1A and Set1B histone methyltransferase complexes are identical. Each complex contains six human homologs of the yeast Set1/COMPASS complex, including Set1A or Set1B, Ash2 (homologous to yeast Bre2), CXXC finger protein 1 (CFP1; homologous to yeast Spp1), Rbbp5 (homologous to yeast Swd1), Wdr5 (homologous to yeast Swd3), and Wdr82 (homologous to yeast Swd2). The genomic targeting of these complexes is determined by the identity of the catalytic subunit present in each histone methyltransferase complex. Thus, the Set1A and Set1B complexes may exhibit both overlapping and non-redundant properties. Both Set1A and Set1B contain an N-terminal RNA recognition motif (RRM), also termed RBD (RNA binding domain) or RNP (ribonucleoprotein domain), an N- SET domain, and a C-terminal catalytic SET domain followed by a post-SET domain.

It contains a single N-terminal RNA recognition motif (RRM), also termed RBD (RNA binding domain) or RNP (ribonucleoprotein domain), followed by a C-terminal RS domain rich in serine-arginine dipeptides. The RRM is responsible for the specific recognition of 5'-SSNG-3' (S=C/G) RNA. In the regulation of alternative splicing events, it specifically binds to cis-regulatory elements on the pre-mRNA. The RS domain modulates SRSF2 activity through phosphorylation, directly contacts RNA, and promotes protein-protein interactions with the spliceosome.

It is a serine-arginine (SR) protein that acts as a potent and general splicing repressor when dephosphorylated. It mediates global inhibition of splicing both in M phase of the cell cycle and in response to heat shock. SRSF10 emerges as a modulator of cholesterol homeostasis through the regulation of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) splicing efficiency. It also regulates cardiac-specific alternative splicing of triadin pre-mRNA and is required for proper Ca2+ handling during embryonic heart development. In contrast, the phosphorylated SRSF10 functions as a sequence-specific splicing activator in the presence of a nuclear cofactor. It activates distal alternative 5' splice site of adenovirus E1A pre-mRNA in vivo. Moreover, SRSF10 strengthens pre-mRNA recognition by U1 and U2 snRNPs.

Together with additional testis-specific RNA-binding proteins, RBM7 may regulate the splicing of specific pre-mRNA species that are important in the meiotic cell cycle. RBM11 is a novel tissue-specific splicing regulator that is selectively expressed in brain, cerebellum and testis, and to a lower extent in kidney. It is localized in the nucleoplasm and enriched in SRSF2-containing splicing speckles. It may play a role in the modulation of alternative splicing during neuron and germ cell differentiation. Both, RBM7 and RBM11, contain an N-terminal RNA recognition motif (RRM), also termed RBD (RNA binding domain) or RNP (ribonucleoprotein domain), and a region lacking known homology at the C-terminus. The RRM is responsible for RNA binding, whereas the C-terminal region permits nuclear localization and homodimerization. .¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¬Ž¢€0€0€ €‚cd12337, RRM1_SRSF4_like, RNA recognition motif 1 in serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 4 (SRSF4) and similar proteins.

SRSF4 plays an important role in both, constitutive and alternative, splicing of many pre-mRNAs. It can shuttle between the nucleus and cytoplasm. SRSF5 regulates both alternative splicing and basal splicing. It is the only SR protein efficiently selected from nuclear extracts (NE) by the splicing enhancer (ESE) and essential for enhancer activation. SRSF6 preferentially interacts with a number of purine-rich splicing enhancers (ESEs) to activate splicing of the ESE-containing exon. It is the only protein from HeLa nuclear extract or purified SR proteins that specifically binds B element RNA after UV irradiation. SRSF6 may also recognize different types of RNA sites.

All SR proteins in this family, except SRSF5, undergo nucleocytoplasmic shuttling, suggesting their widespread roles in gene expression. These SR proteins share a common domain architecture comprising two N-terminal RNA recognition motifs (RRMs), also termed RBDs (RNA binding domains) or RNPs (ribonucleoprotein domains), followed by a C-terminal RS domains rich in serine-arginine dipeptides. Both domains can directly contact with RNA. The RRMs appear to determine the binding specificity and the SR domain also mediates protein-protein interactions. In addition, this subfamily includes the yeast nucleolar protein 3 (Npl3p), also termed mitochondrial targeting suppressor 1 protein, or nuclear polyadenylated RNA-binding protein 1.

They are the major constituents of the heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA) ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) complex in vertebrates. They bind hnRNA tightly, suggesting a central role in the formation of the ubiquitous hnRNP complex; they are involved in the packaging of the hnRNA in the nucleus and in processing of pre-mRNA such as splicing and 3'-end formation. Raly, also termed autoantigen p542, is an RNA-binding protein that may play a critical role in embryonic development. The biological role of RALYL remains unclear. It shows high sequence homology with hnRNP C proteins and Raly. Members of this family are characterized by an N-terminal RNA recognition motif (RRM), also termed RBD (RNA binding domain) or RNP (ribonucleoprotein domain), and a C-terminal auxiliary domain. The Raly proteins contain a glycine/serine-rich stretch within the C-terminal regions, which is absent in the hnRNP C proteins.

CoAA contains two N-terminal RNA recognition motifs (RRMs), also termed RBDs (RNA binding domains) or RNPs (ribonucleoprotein domains), and a TRBP-interacting domain. RBM4 is a ubiquitously expressed splicing factor with two isoforms, RBM4A (also known as Lark homolog) and RBM4B (also known as RBM30), which are very similar in structure and sequence.

RBM4 contains two N-terminal RRMs, a CCHC-type zinc finger, and three alanine-rich regions within their C-terminal regions. This family also includes Drosophila RNA-binding protein lark (Dlark), a homolog of human RBM4. It plays an important role in embryonic development and in the circadian regulation of adult eclosion.

This subfamily corresponds to the RRM of yeast protein Cwc2, also termed Complexed with CEF1 protein 2, or PRP19-associated complex protein 40 (Ntc40), or synthetic lethal with CLF1 protein 3, one of the components of the Prp19-associated complex [nineteen complex (NTC)] that can bind to RNA. NTC is composed of the scaffold protein Prp19 and a number of associated splicing factors, and plays a crucial role in intron removal during premature mRNA splicing in eukaryotes. Cwc2 functions as an RNA-binding protein that can bind both small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) and pre-mRNA in vitro. It interacts directly with the U6 snRNA to link the NTC to the spliceosome during pre-mRNA splicing. In the N-terminal half, Cwc2 contains a CCCH-type zinc finger (ZnF domain), a RNA recognition motif (RRM), also termed RBD (RNA binding domain) or RNP (ribonucleoprotein domain), and an intervening loop, also termed RNA-binding loop or RB loop, between ZnF and RRM, all of which are necessary and sufficient for RNA binding.

This subfamily corresponds to the RRM1 of type I poly(A)-binding proteins (PABPs), highly conserved proteins that bind to the poly(A) tail present at the 3' ends of most eukaryotic mRNAs. They have been implicated in the regulation of poly(A) tail length during the polyadenylation reaction, translation initiation, mRNA stabilization by influencing the rate of deadenylation and inhibition of mRNA decapping. The family represents type I polyadenylate-binding proteins (PABPs), including polyadenylate-binding protein 1 (PABP-1 or PABPC1), polyadenylate-binding protein 3 (PABP-3 or PABPC3), polyadenylate-binding protein 4 (PABP-4 or APP-1 or iPABP), polyadenylate-binding protein 5 (PABP-5 or PABPC5), polyadenylate-binding protein 1-like (PABP-1-like or PABPC1L), polyadenylate-binding protein 1-like 2 (PABPC1L2 or RBM32), polyadenylate-binding protein 4-like (PABP-4-like or PABPC4L), yeast polyadenylate-binding protein, cytoplasmic and nuclear (PABP or ACBP-67), and similar proteins. PABP-1 is a ubiquitously expressed multifunctional protein that may play a role in 3' end formation of mRNA, translation initiation, mRNA stabilization, protection of poly(A) from nuclease activity, mRNA deadenylation, inhibition of mRNA decapping, and mRNP maturation. Although PABP-1 is thought to be a cytoplasmic protein, it is also found in the nucleus. PABP-1 may be involved in nucleocytoplasmic trafficking and utilization of mRNP particles. PABP-1 contains four copies of RNA recognition motifs (RRMs), also termed RBDs (RNA binding domains) or RNPs (ribonucleoprotein domains), a less well conserved linker region, and a proline-rich C-terminal conserved domain (CTD). PABP-3 is a testis-specific poly(A)-binding protein specifically expressed in round spermatids. It is mainly found in mammalian and may play an important role in the testis-specific regulation of mRNA homeostasis. PABP-3 shows significant sequence similarity to PABP-1. However, it binds to poly(A) with a lower affinity than PABP-1. Moreover, PABP-1 possesses an A-rich sequence in its 5'-UTR and allows binding of PABP and blockage of translation of its own mRNA. In contrast, PABP-3 lacks the A-rich sequence in its 5'-UTR. PABP-4 is an inducible poly(A)-binding protein (iPABP) that is primarily localized to the cytoplasm. It shows significant sequence similarity to PABP-1 as well. The RNA binding properties of PABP-1 and PABP-4 appear to be identical. PABP-5 is encoded by PABPC5 gene within the X-specific subinterval, and expressed in fetal brain and in a range of adult tissues in mammals, such as ovary and testis. It may play an important role in germ cell development. Moreover, unlike other PABPs, PABP-5 contains only four RRMs, but lacks both the linker region and the CTD. PABP-1-like and PABP-1-like 2 are the orthologs of PABP-1. PABP-4-like is the ortholog of PABP-5. Their cellular functions remain unclear.

This subfamily corresponds to the RRM domain of hnRNP G, also termed glycoprotein p43 or RBMX, an RNA-binding motif protein located on the X chromosome. It is expressed ubiquitously and has been implicated in the splicing control of several pre-mRNAs. Moreover, hnRNP G may function as a regulator of transcription for SREBP-1c and GnRH1. Research has shown that hnRNP G may also act as a tumor-suppressor since it upregulates the Txnip gene and promotes the fidelity of DNA end-joining activity. In addition, hnRNP G appears to play a critical role in proper neural development of zebrafish and frog embryos. The family also includes several paralogs of hnRNP G, such as hRBMY and hnRNP G-T (also termed RNA-binding motif protein, X-linked-like-2). Both, hRBMY and hnRNP G-T, are exclusively expressed in testis and critical for male fertility. Like hnRNP G, hRBMY and hnRNP G-T interact with factors implicated in the regulation of pre-mRNA splicing, such as hTra2-beta1 and T-STAR. Although members in this family share a high conserved N-terminal RNA recognition motif (RRM), also termed RBD (RNA binding domain) or RNP (ribonucleoprotein domain), they appear to recognize different RNA targets. For instance, hRBMY interacts specifically with a stem-loop structure in which the loop is formed by the sequence CA/UCAA. In contrast, hnRNP G associates with single stranded RNA sequences containing a CCA/C motif. In addition to the RRM, hnRNP G contains a nascent transcripts targeting domain (NTD) in the middle region and a novel auxiliary RNA-binding domain (RBD) in its C-terminal region. The C-terminal RBD exhibits distinct RNA binding specificity, and would play a critical role in the regulation of alternative splicing by hnRNP G. .¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¬¼¢€0€0€ €‚Kcd12383, RRM_RBM42, RNA recognition motif in RNA-binding protein 42 (RBM42) and similar proteins.

This subfamily corresponds to the RRM domain of CSTF2, its tau variant and eukaryotic homologs. CSTF2, also termed cleavage stimulation factor 64 kDa subunit (CstF64), is the vertebrate conterpart of yeast mRNA 3'-end-processing protein RNA15. It is expressed in all somatic tissues and is one of three cleavage stimulatory factor (CstF) subunits required for polyadenylation. CstF64 contains an N-terminal RNA recognition motif (RRM), also known as RBD (RNA binding domain) or RNP (ribonucleoprotein domain), a CstF77-binding domain, a repeated MEARA helical region and a conserved C-terminal domain reported to bind the transcription factor PC-4. During polyadenylation, CstF interacts with the pre-mRNA through the RRM of CstF64 at U- or GU-rich sequences within 10 to 30 nucleotides downstream of the cleavage site. CSTF2T, also termed tauCstF64, is a paralog of the X-linked cleavage stimulation factor CstF64 protein that supports polyadenylation in most somatic cells. It is expressed during meiosis and subsequent haploid differentiation in a more limited set of tissues and cell types, largely in meiotic and postmeiotic male germ cells, and to a lesser extent in brain. The loss of CSTF2T will cause male infertility, as it is necessary for spermatogenesis and fertilization. Moreover, CSTF2T is required for expression of genes involved in morphological differentiation of spermatids, as well as for genes having products that function during interaction of motile spermatozoa with eggs. It promotes germ cell-specific patterns of polyadenylation by using its RRM to bind to different sequence elements downstream of polyadenylation sites than does CstF64. The family also includes yeast ortholog mRNA 3'-end-processing protein RNA15 and similar proteins. RNA15 is a core subunit of cleavage factor IA (CFIA), an essential transcriptional 3'-end processing factor from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. RNA recognition by CFIA is mediated by an N-terminal RRM, which is contained in the RNA15 subunit of the complex.

This subfamily corresponds to the RRM of eIF-4B, a multi-domain RNA-binding protein that has been primarily implicated in promoting the binding of 40S ribosomal subunits to mRNA during translation initiation. It contains two RNA-binding domains; the N-terminal well-conserved RNA recognition motif (RRM), also termed RBD (RNA binding domain) or RNP (ribonucleoprotein domain), binds the 18S rRNA of the 40S ribosomal subunit and the C-terminal basic domain (BD), including two arginine-rich motifs (ARMs), binds mRNA during initiation, and is primarily responsible for the stimulation of the helicase activity of eIF-4A. eIF-4B also contains a DRYG domain (a region rich in Asp, Arg, Tyr, and Gly amino acids) in the middle, which is responsible for both, self-association of eIF-4B and binding to the p170 subunit of eIF3. Additional research indicates that eIF-4B can interact with the poly(A) binding protein (PABP) in mammalian cells, which can stimulate both, the eIF-4B-mediated activation of the helicase activity of eIF-4A and binding of poly(A) by PABP. eIF-4B has also been shown to interact specifically with the internal ribosome entry sites (IRES) of several picornaviruses which facilitate cap-independent translation initiation. .¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¬Ð¢€0€0€ €‚ncd12403, RRM1_NCL, RNA recognition motif 1 in vertebrate nucleolin.

RNA binding protein Fox-1 homolog 1 (RBFOX1), also termed ataxin-2-binding protein 1 (A2BP1), or Fox-1 homolog A, or hexaribonucleotide-binding protein 1 (HRNBP1), is predominantly expressed in neurons, skeletal muscle and heart. It regulates alternative splicing of tissue-specific exons by binding to UGCAUG elements. Moreover, RBFOX1 binds to the C-terminus of ataxin-2 and forms an ataxin-2/A2BP1 complex involved in RNA processing.

PTB is an important negative regulator of alternative splicing in mammalian cells and also functions at several other aspects of mRNA metabolism, including mRNA localization, stabilization, polyadenylation, and translation. PTBP2 is highly homologous to PTB and is perhaps specific to the vertebrates. Unlike PTB, PTBP2 is enriched in the brain and in some neural cell lines. It binds more stably to the downstream control sequence (DCS) RNA than PTB does but is a weaker repressor of splicing in vitro. PTBP2 also greatly enhances the binding of two other proteins, heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) H and KH-type splicing-regulatory protein (KSRP), to the DCS RNA.

Both, synaptojanin-1 and synaptojanin-2, have two tissue-specific alternative splicing isoforms, a shorter isoform expressed in brain and a longer isoform in peripheral tissues. Synaptojanin-1 contains an N-terminal domain homologous to the cytoplasmic portion of the yeast protein Sac1p, a central inositol 5-phosphatase domain followed by a putative RNA recognition motif (RRM), also termed RBD (RNA binding domain) or RNP (ribonucleoprotein domain), and a C-terminal proline-rich region mediating the binding of synaptojanin-1 to various SH3 domain-containing proteins including amphiphysin, SH3p4, SH3p8, SH3p13, and Grb2.

This subfamily corresponds to the RRM1 of the CPEB family of proteins that bind to defined groups of mRNAs and act as either translational repressors or activators to regulate their translation. CPEB proteins are well conserved in both, vertebrates and invertebrates. Based on sequence similarity, RNA-binding specificity, and functional regulation of translation, the CPEB proteins have been classified into two subfamilies. The first subfamily includes CPEB-1 and related proteins. CPEB-1 is an RNA-binding protein that interacts with the cytoplasmic polyadenylation element (CPE), a short U-rich motif in the 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) of certain mRNAs. It functions as a translational regulator that plays a major role in the control of maternal CPE-containing mRNA in oocytes, as well as of subsynaptic CPE-containing mRNA in neurons. Once phosphorylated and recruiting the polyadenylation complex, CPEB-1 may function as a translational activator stimulating polyadenylation and translation. Otherwise, it may function as a translational inhibitor when dephosphorylated and bind to a protein such as maskin or neuroguidin, which blocks translation initiation through interfering with the assembly of eIF-4E and eIF-4G. Although CPEB-1 is mainly located in cytoplasm, it can shuttle between nucleus and cytoplasm. The second subfamily includes CPEB-2, CPEB-3, CPEB-4, and related protiens. Due to high sequence similarity, members in this subfamily may share similar expression patterns and functions. CPEB-2 is an RNA-binding protein that is abundantly expressed in testis and localized in cytoplasm in transfected HeLa cells. It preferentially binds to poly(U) RNA oligomers and may regulate the translation of stored mRNAs during spermiogenesis. CPEB-2 impedes target RNA translation at elongation; it directly interacts with the elongation factor, eEF2, to reduce eEF2/ribosome-activated GTP hydrolysis in vitro and inhibit peptide elongation of CPEB2-bound RNA in vivo. CPEB-3 is a sequence-specific translational regulatory protein that regulates translation in a polyadenylation-independent manner. It functions as a translational repressor that governs the synthesis of the AMPA receptor GluR2 through binding GluR2 mRNA. It also represses translation of a reporter RNA in transfected neurons and stimulates translation in response to NMDA. CPEB-4 is an RNA-binding protein that mediates meiotic mRNA cytoplasmic polyadenylation and translation. It is essential for neuron survival and present on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It is accumulated in the nucleus upon ischemia or the depletion of ER calcium. CPEB-4 is overexpressed in a large variety of tumors and is associated with many mRNAs in cancer cells. All CPEB proteins are nucleus-cytoplasm shuttling proteins. They contain an N-terminal unstructured region, followed by two RNA recognition motifs (RRMs), also termed RBDs (RNA binding domains) or RNPs (ribonucleoprotein domains), and a Zn-finger motif. CPEB-2, -3, and -4 have conserved nuclear export signals that are not present in CPEB-1. .¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¬ú¢€0€0€ €‚ ¦cd12445, RRM2_CPEBs, RNA recognition motif 2 in cytoplasmic polyadenylation element-binding protein CPEB-1, CPEB-2, CPEB-3, CPEB-4 and similar protiens. This subfamily corresponds to the RRM2 of CPEB family of proteins that bind to defined groups of mRNAs and act as either translational repressors or activators to regulate their translation. CPEB proteins are well conserved in both, vertebrates and invertebrates. Based on sequence similarity, RNA-binding specificity, and functional regulation of translation, the CPEB proteins has been classified into two subfamilies. The first subfamily includes CPEB-1 and related proteins. CPEB-1 is an RNA-binding protein that interacts with the cytoplasmic polyadenylation element (CPE), a short U-rich motif in the 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) of certain mRNAs. It functions as a translational regulator that plays a major role in the control of maternal CPE-containing mRNA in oocytes, as well as of subsynaptic CPE-containing mRNA in neurons. Once phosphorylated and recruiting the polyadenylation complex, CPEB-1 may function as a translational activator stimulating polyadenylation and translation. Otherwise, it may function as a translational inhibitor when dephosphorylated and bound to a protein such as maskin or neuroguidin, which blocks translation initiation through interfering with the assembly of eIF-4E and eIF-4G. Although CPEB-1 is mainly located in cytoplasm, it can shuttle between nucleus and cytoplasm. The second subfamily includes CPEB-2, CPEB-3, CPEB-4, and related protiens. Due to the high sequence similarity, members in this subfamily may share similar expression patterns and functions. CPEB-2 is an RNA-binding protein that is abundantly expressed in testis and localized in cytoplasm in transfected HeLa cells. It preferentially binds to poly(U) RNA oligomers and may regulate the translation of stored mRNAs during spermiogenesis. Moreover, CPEB-2 impedes target RNA translation at elongation. It directly interacts with the elongation factor, eEF2, to reduce eEF2/ribosome-activated GTP hydrolysis in vitro and inhibit peptide elongation of CPEB2-bound RNA in vivo. CPEB-3 is a sequence-specific translational regulatory protein that regulates translation in a polyadenylation-independent manner. It functions as a translational repressor that governs the synthesis of the AMPA receptor GluR2 through binding GluR2 mRNA. It also represses translation of a reporter RNA in transfected neurons and stimulates translation in response to NMDA. CPEB-4 is an RNA-binding protein that mediates meiotic mRNA cytoplasmic polyadenylation and translation. It is essential for neuron survival and present on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It is accumulated in the nucleus upon ischemia or the depletion of ER calcium. CPEB-4 is overexpressed in a large variety of tumors and is associated with many mRNAs in cancer cells. All CPEB proteins are nucleus-cytoplasm shuttling proteins. They contain an N-terminal unstructured region, followed by two RNA recognition motifs (RRMs), also termed RBDs (RNA binding domains) or RNPs (ribonucleoprotein domains), and a Zn-finger motif. CPEB-2, -3, and -4 have conserved nuclear export signals that are not present in CPEB-1. .¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¬û¢€0€0€ €‚cd12446, RRM_RBM25, RNA recognition motif in eukaryotic RNA-binding protein 25 and similar proteins. This subfamily corresponds to the RRM of RBM25, also termed Arg/Glu/Asp-rich protein of 120 kDa (RED120), or protein S164, or RNA-binding region-containing protein 7, an evolutionary-conserved splicing coactivator SRm160 (SR-related nuclear matrix protein of 160 kDa, )-interacting protein. RBM25 belongs to a family of RNA-binding proteins containing a well conserved RNA recognition motif (RRM), also termed RBD (RNA binding domain) or RNP (ribonucleoprotein domain), at the N-terminus, a RE/RD-rich (ER) central region, and a C-terminal proline-tryptophan-isoleucine (PWI) motif. It localizes to the nuclear speckles and associates with multiple splicing components, including splicing cofactors SRm160/300, U snRNAs, assembled splicing complexes, and spliced mRNAs. It may play an important role in pre-mRNA processing by coupling splicing with mRNA 3'-end formation. Additional research indicates that RBM25 is one of the RNA-binding regulators that direct the alternative splicing of apoptotic factors. It can activate proapoptotic Bcl-xS 5'ss by binding to the exonic splicing enhancer, CGGGCA, and stabilize the pre-mRNA-U1 snRNP through interaction with hLuc7A, a U1 snRNP-associated factor. .¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¬ü¢€0€0€ €‚$cd12447, RRM1_gar2, RNA recognition motif 1 in yeast protein gar2 and similar proteins.

The central domain of gar2 contains two closely adjacent N-terminal RNA recognition motifs (RRMs), also termed RBDs (RNA binding domains) or RNPs (ribonucleoprotein domains). The C-terminal RGG (or GAR) domain of gar2 is rich in glycine, arginine and phenylalanine residues. .¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¬ý¢€0€0€ €‚$cd12448, RRM2_gar2, RNA recognition motif 2 in yeast protein gar2 and similar proteins.

This subfamily corresponds to the RRM domain of two structurally related heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoproteins, CIRBP (also termed CIRP or A18 hnRNP) and RBM3 (also termed RNPL), both of which belong to a highly conserved cold shock proteins family. The cold shock proteins can be induced after exposure to a moderate cold-shock and other cellular stresses such as UV radiation and hypoxia. CIRBP and RBM3 may function in posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression by binding to different transcripts, thus allowing the cell to response rapidly to environmental signals. However, the kinetics and degree of cold induction are different between CIRBP and RBM3. Tissue distribution of their expression is different. CIRBP and RBM3 may be differentially regulated under physiological and stress conditions and may play distinct roles in cold responses of cells. CIRBP, also termed glycine-rich RNA-binding protein CIRP, is localized in the nucleus and mediates the cold-induced suppression of cell cycle progression. CIRBP also binds DNA and possibly serves as a chaperone that assists in the folding/unfolding, assembly/disassembly and transport of various proteins. RBM3 may enhance global protein synthesis and the formation of active polysomes while reducing the levels of ribonucleoprotein complexes containing microRNAs. RBM3 may also serve to prevent the loss of muscle mass by its ability to decrease cell death. Furthermore, RBM3 may be essential for cell proliferation and mitosis. Both, CIRBP and RBM3, contain an N-terminal RNA recognition motif (RRM), also termed RBD (RNA binding domain) or RNP (ribonucleoprotein domain), that is involved in RNA binding, and C-terminal glycine-rich domain (RGG motif) that probably enhances RNA-binding via protein-protein and/or protein-RNA interactions. Like CIRBP, RBM3 can also bind to both RNA and DNA via its RRM domain. .¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €¬ÿ¢€0€0€ €‚Tcd12450, RRM1_NUCLs, RNA recognition motif 1 found in nucleolin-like proteins mainly from plants.

It may possess RNA-binding and zinc ion binding activities. Additional research had indicated that ARP may function as a factor involved in the stress response. .¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €­¢€0€0€ €‚jcd12453, RRM1_RIM4_like, RNA recognition motif 1 in yeast meiotic activator RIM4 and similar proteins. This subfamily corresponds to the RRM1 of RIM4, also termed regulator of IME2 protein 4, a putative RNA binding protein that is expressed at elevated levels early in meiosis.

RIM4 contains two RNA recognition motifs (RRMs), also termed RBDs (RNA binding domains) or RNPs (ribonucleoprotein domains). The family also includes a putative RNA-binding protein termed multicopy suppressor of sporulation protein Msa1. It is a putative RNA-binding protein encoded by a novel gene, msa1, from the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Msa1 may be involved in the inhibition of sexual differentiation by controlling the expression of Ste11-regulated genes, possibly through the pheromone-signaling pathway. Like RIM4, Msa1 also contains two RRMs, both of which are essential for the function of Msa1. .¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €­¢€0€0€ €‚jcd12454, RRM2_RIM4_like, RNA recognition motif 2 in yeast meiotic activator RIM4 and similar proteins.

This subfamily corresponds to the RRM-like Smg4_UPF3 domain found in yeast up-frameshift suppressor 3 (Upf3p), Caenorhabditis elegans SMG-4, their human orthologs Upf3A and Upf3B, and similar proteins. Upf3p, also termed nonsense-mediated mRNA decay protein 3, or Sua6p, a surveillance factor encoded by UPF3 gene from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It is required for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) in yeast. Upf3p is primarily cytoplasmic but accumulates inside the nucleus. Its nuclear import is mediated by the Srp1p (importin-alpha)/beta heterodimer while its nuclear export is mediated by a leucine-rich nuclear export sequence (NES-A), but not the Crm1p exportin. C. elegans SMG-4 is a nuclear shuttling protein that shuttles between the cytoplasm and nucleus through nuclear import and export signals similar to that of the yeast Upf3p. It is regulated by phosphorylation. Human orthologs of yeast Upf3p and C. elegans SMG-4 include Upf3A and Upf3B, which derive from two genes, UPF3A and X-linked UPF3B, respectively. Both, Upf3A (Up-frameshift suppressor 3 homolog A, also termed regulator of nonsense transcripts 3A, or nonsense mRNA reducing factor 3A) and Upf3B (Up-frameshift suppressor 3 homolog B on chromosome X, also termed regulator of nonsense transcripts 3B, or nonsense mRNA reducing factor 3B), are nucleocytoplasmic shuttling proteins. They associate selectively with spliced beta-globin mRNA in vivo, and tethering of any human Upf protein to the 3'UTR of beta-globin mRNA prevents NMD. The function of the Upf proteins in identifying and targeting nonsense mRNAs for rapid decay is conserved among eukaryotes. Besides, all Upf proteins in this family contain a conserved Smg4_UPF3 domain with some similarity to an RNA recognition motif (RRM), indicating that they may be RNA binding proteins. .¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €­¢€0€0€ €‚cd12456, RRM_p65, RNA recognition motif in the holoenzyme La family protein p65.

The acidic RasGAP binding domain of G3BP1 harbors an arsenite-regulated phosphorylation site and dominantly inhibits stress granule (SG) formation. G3BP1 also contains an N-terminal nuclear transfer factor 2 (NTF2)-like domain, an RNA recognition motif (RRM domain), and an Arg-Gly-rich region (RGG-rich region, or arginine methylation motif). The RRM domain and RGG-rich region are canonically associated with RNA binding. G3BP1 co-immunoprecipitates with mRNAs. It binds to and cleaves the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of the c-myc mRNA in a phosphorylation-dependent manner. Thus, G3BP1 may play a role in coupling extra-cellular stimuli to mRNA stability. It has been shown that G3BP1 is a novel Dishevelled-associated protein that is methylated upon Wnt3a stimulation and that arginine methylation of G3BP1 regulates both Ctnnb1 mRNA and canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling.

UHMK1 targets two key regulators of cell proliferation and migration, the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor p27Kip1 and the microtubule-destabilizing protein stathmin. It plays a critical role during vascular wound repair by preventing excessive vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) migration into the vascular lesion. Moreover, UHMK1 may control cell migration and neurite outgrowth by interacting with and phosphorylating the splicing factor SF1, thereby probably contributing to the control of protein expression.

It binds with high affinity and specificity for RNA substrates containing hairpin 92 of 23S rRNA (HP92) with either 3' or 5' extensions. As a non-processive ATP-dependent helicase, DbpA destabilizes and unwinds short <9bp (base pairs) RNA duplexes as well as long duplex RNA stretches. It disrupts RNA helices exclusively in a 3'- 5' direction and requires a single-stranded loading site 3' of the substrate helix. dbpA contains two N-terminal ATPase catalytic domains and a C-terminal RNA binding domain, an atypical RNA recognition motif (RRM), also termed RBD (RNA binding domain) or RNPs (ribonucleoprotein domain). The catalytic domains bind to nearby regions of RNA to stimulate ATP hydrolysis and disrupt RNA structures. The C-terminal domain binds specifically to hairpin 92.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €­1¢€0€0€ €‚cd12502, RRM2_RMB19, RNA recognition motif 2 in RNA-binding protein 19 (RBM19) and similar proteins. This subfamily corresponds to the RRM2 of RBM19, also termed RNA-binding domain-1 (RBD-1), a nucleolar protein conserved in eukaryotes.

This subfamily corresponds to the RRM1 of hnRNP H proteins and GRSF-1. The hnRNP H protein family includes hnRNP H (also termed mcs94-1), hnRNP H2 (also termed FTP-3 or hnRNP H'), hnRNP F and hnRNP H3 (also termed hnRNP 2H9), which represent a group of nuclear RNA binding proteins that are involved in pre-mRNA processing. These proteins have similar RNA binding affinities and specifically recognize the sequence GGGA. They can either stimulate or repress splicing upon binding to a GGG motif. hnRNP H binds to the RNA substrate in the presence or absence of these proteins, whereas hnRNP F binds to the nuclear mRNA only in the presence of cap-binding proteins. hnRNP H and hnRNP H2 are almost identical; both have been found to bind nuclear-matrix proteins. hnRNP H activates exon inclusion by binding G-rich intronic elements downstream of the 5' splice site in the transcripts of c-src, human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), Bcl-X, GRIN1, and myelin. It silences exons when bound to exonic elements in the transcripts of beta-tropomyosin, HIV-1, and alpha-tropomyosin. hnRNP H2 has been implicated in pre-mRNA 3' end formation. hnRNP H3 may be involved in splicing arrest induced by heat shock. Most family members contain three RNA recognition motifs (RRMs), also termed RBDs (RNA binding domains) or RNPs (ribonucleoprotein domains), except for hnRNP H3, in which the RRM1 is absent. RRM1 and RRM2 are responsible for the binding to the RNA at DGGGD motifs, and play an important role in efficiently silencing the exon. Members in this family can regulate the alternative splicing of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) transcripts, and function as silencers of FGFR2 exon IIIc through an interaction with the exonic GGG motifs. The lack of RRM1 could account for the reduced silencing activity within hnRNP H3. Members in this family have an extensive glycine-rich region near the C-terminus, which may allow them to homo- or heterodimerize. They also include a cytoplasmic poly(A)+ mRNA binding protein, GRSF-1, which interacts with RNA in a G-rich element-dependent manner. They may function in RNA packaging, stabilization of RNA secondary structure, or other macromolecular interactions. GRSF-1 contains three potential RRMs responsible for the RNA binding, and two auxiliary domains (an acidic alpha-helical domain and an N-terminal alanine-rich region) that may play a role in protein-protein interactions and provide binding specificity. .¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €­3¢€0€0€ €‚$cd12504, RRM2_hnRNPH_like, RNA recognition motif 2 in heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) H protein family.

This subgroup corresponds to the RRM of SRSF11, also termed arginine-rich 54 kDa nuclear protein (SRp54 or p54), which belongs to a family of proteins containing regions rich in serine-arginine dipeptides (SR proteins family). It is involved in bridge-complex formation and splicing by mediating protein-protein interactions across either introns or exons. SRSF11 has been identified as a tau exon 10 splicing repressor. It interacts with a purine-rich element in exon 10, and suppresses exon 10 inclusion by antagonizing Tra2beta, an SR-domain-containing protein that enhances exon 10 inclusion. SRSF11 is a unique SR family member and may regulate the alternative splicing in a tissue- and substrate-dependent manner. It can directly interact with the U2 auxiliary factor 65-kDa subunit (U2AF65), a protein associated with the 3' splice site. In addition, unlike the typical SR proteins, SRSF11 associates with other SR proteins but not with the U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein U1-70K or the U2 auxiliary factor 35-kDa subunit (U2AF35). SREK1 has unique properties in regulating alternative splicing of different pre-mRNAs; it promotes the use of the distal 5' splice site in E1A pre-mRNA alternative splicing. It also inhibits cryptic splice site selection on the beta-globin pre-mRNA containing competing 5' splice sites.

SREK1 belongs to a family of proteins containing regions rich in serine-arginine dipeptides (SR proteins family), and is involved in bridge-complex formation and splicing by mediating protein-protein interactions across either introns or exons. It is a unique SR family member and may play a crucial role in determining tissue specific patterns of alternative splicing. SREK1 can alter splice site selection by both positively and negatively modulating the activity of other SR proteins. For instance, SREK1 can activate SRp20 and repress SC35 in a dose-dependent manner both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, SREK1 generally contains two RNA recognition motifs (RRMs), also termed RBDs (RNA binding domains) or RNPs (ribonucleoprotein domains), and two serine-arginine (SR)-rich domains (SR domains) separated by an unusual glutamic acid-lysine (EK) rich region. The RRM and SR domains are highly conserved among other members of the SR superfamily. However, the EK domain is unique to SREK1; plays a modulatory role controlling SR domain function by involvement in the inhibition of both constitutive and alternative splicing and in the selection of splice-site. .¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €­C¢€0€0€ €‚@cd12520, RRM1_MRN1, RNA recognition motif 1 of RNA-binding protein MRN1 and similar proteins.

This subgroup corresponds to the RRM2 of PARP-14, also termed aggressive lymphoma protein 2, a member of the B aggressive lymphoma (BAL) family of macrodomain-containing PARPs. It is expressed in B lymphocytes and interacts with the IL-4-induced transcription factor Stat6. It plays a fundamental role in the regulation of IL-4-induced B-cell protection against apoptosis after irradiation or growth factor withdrawal. It mediates IL-4 effects on the levels of gene products that regulate cell survival, proliferation, and lymphomagenesis. PARP-14 acts as a transcriptional switch for Stat6-dependent gene activation. In the presence of IL-4, PARP-14 activates transcription by facilitating the binding of Stat6 to the promoter and release of HDACs from the promoter with an IL-4 signal.

This subgroup corresponds to the RRM of PGC-1alpha, also termed PPARGC-1-alpha, or ligand effect modulator 6, a member of a family of transcription coactivators that plays a central role in the regulation of cellular energy metabolism. As an inducible transcription coactivator, PGC-1alpha can interact with a broad range of transcription factors involved in a wide variety of biological responses, such as adaptive thermogenesis, skeletal muscle fiber type switching, glucose/fatty acid metabolism, and heart development. PGC-1alpha stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis and promotes oxidative metabolism. It participates in the regulation of both carbohydrate and lipid metabolism and plays a role in disorders such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiomyopathy. PGC-1alpha is a multi-domain protein containing an N-terminal activation domain region, a central region involved in the interaction with at least a nuclear receptor, and a C-terminal domain region. The N-terminal domain region consists of three leucine-rich motifs (L1, NR box 2 and 3), among which the two last are required for interaction with nuclear receptors, potential nuclear localization signals (NLS), and a proline-rich region overlapping a putative repression domain. The C-terminus of PGC-1alpha is composed of two arginine/serine-rich regions (SR domains), a putative dimerization domain, and an RNA recognition motif (RRM), also known as RBD (RNA binding domain) or RNP (ribonucleoprotein domain).

Unlike PGC-1alpha and PGC-1beta, PRC is ubiquitous and more abundantly expressed in proliferating cells than in growth-arrested cells. PRC has been implicated in the regulation of several metabolic pathways, mitochondrial biogenesis, and cell growth. It functions as a growth-regulated transcriptional cofactor activating many nuclear genes specifying mitochondrial respiratory function. PRC directly interacts with nuclear transcriptional factors implicated in respiratory chain expression including nuclear respiratory factors 1 and 2 (NRF-1 and NRF-2), CREB (cAMP-response element-binding protein), and estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRalpha). It interacts indirectly with the NRF-2beta subunit through host cell factor (HCF), a cellular protein involved in herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection and cell cycle regulation. Furthermore, like PGC-1alpha and PGC-1beta, PRC can transactivate a number of NRF-dependent nuclear genes required for mitochondrial respiratory function, including those encoding cytochrome c, 5-aminolevulinate synthase, Tfam, and TFB1M, and TFB2M. Further research indicates that PRC may also act as a sensor of metabolic stress that orchestrates a redox-sensitive program of inflammatory gene expression. PRC is a multi-domain protein containing an N-terminal activation domain, an LXXLL coactivator signature, a central proline-rich region, a tetrapeptide motif (DHDY) responsible for HCF binding, a C-terminal arginine/serine-rich (SR) domain, and an RNA recognition motif (RRM), also termed RBD (RNA binding domain) or RNP (ribonucleoprotein domain). .¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €­¬¢€0€0€ €‚|cd12625, RRM1_IGF2BP1, RNA recognition motif 1 in vertebrate insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1).

CELF-1 contain three highly conserved RNA recognition motifs (RRMs), also known as RBDs (RNA binding domains) or RNPs (ribonucleoprotein domains): two consecutive RRMs (RRM1 and RRM2) situated in the N-terminal region followed by a linker region and the third RRM (RRM3) close to the C-terminus of the protein. The two N-terminal RRMs of EDEN-BP are necessary for the interaction with EDEN as well as a part of the linker region (between RRM2 and RRM3). Oligomerization of EDEN-BP is required for specific mRNA deadenylation and binding. CELF-2 is expressed in all tissues at some level, but highest in brain, heart, and thymus. It has been implicated in the regulation of nuclear and cytoplasmic RNA processing events, including alternative splicing, RNA editing, stability and translation. CELF-2 shares high sequence identity with CELF-1, but shows different binding specificity; it binds preferentially to sequences with UG repeats and UGUU motifs.

This subgroup corresponds to the RRM domain of CSTF2, its tau variant and eukaryotic homologs. CSTF2, also termed cleavage stimulation factor 64 kDa subunit (CstF64), is the vertebrate conterpart of yeast mRNA 3'-end-processing protein RNA15. It is expressed in all somatic tissues and is one of three cleavage stimulatory factor (CstF) subunits required for polyadenylation. CstF64 contains an N-terminal RNA recognition motif (RRM), also known as RBD (RNA binding domain) or RNP (ribonucleoprotein domain), a CstF77-binding domain, a repeated MEARA helical region and a conserved C-terminal domain reported to bind the transcription factor PC-4. During polyadenylation, CstF interacts with the pre-mRNA through the RRM of CstF64 at U- or GU-rich sequences within 10 to 30 nucleotides downstream of the cleavage site. CSTF2T, also termed tauCstF64, is a paralog of the X-linked cleavage stimulation factor CstF64 protein that supports polyadenylation in most somatic cells. It is expressed during meiosis and subsequent haploid differentiation in a more limited set of tissues and cell types, largely in meiotic and postmeiotic male germ cells, and to a lesser extent in brain. The loss of CSTF2T will cause male infertility, as it is necessary for spermatogenesis and fertilization. Moreover, CSTF2T is required for expression of genes involved in morphological differentiation of spermatids, as well as for genes having products that function during interaction of motile spermatozoa with eggs.

It contains a scaffold attachment factor-box (SAF-box, also known as SAP domain) DNA-binding motif, an RNA recognition motif (RRM), also known as RBD (RNA binding domain) or RNP (ribonucleoprotein domain), and a region rich in glutamine and arginine residues. To a large extent, SLTM co-localizes with SAFB1 in the nucleus, which suggests that they share similar functions, such as the inhibition of an oestrogen reporter gene. However, rather than mediating a specific inhibitory effect on oestrogen action, SLTM is shown to exert a generalized inhibitory effect on gene expression associated with induction of apoptosis in a wide range of cell lines. .¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €­â¢€0€0€ €‚gcd12679, RRM_SAFB1_SAFB2, RNA recognition motif in scaffold attachment factor B1 (SAFB1), scaffold attachment factor B2 (SAFB2), and similar proteins.

Based on the numerous functions, SAFB1 has been implicated in many diverse cellular processes including cell growth and transformation, stress response, and apoptosis. SAFB1 specifically binds to AT-rich scaffold or matrix attachment region DNA elements (S/MAR DNA) by using its N-terminal scaffold attachment factor-box (SAF-box, also known as SAP domain), a homeodomain-like DNA binding motif. The central region of SAFB1 is composed of an RNA recognition motif (RRM), also known as RBD (RNA binding domain) or RNP (ribonucleoprotein domain), and a nuclear localization signal (NLS). The C-terminus of SAFB1 contains Glu/Arg- and Gly-rich regions that might be involved in protein-protein interaction. Additional studies indicate that the C-terminal region contains a potent and transferable transcriptional repression domain. Another family member is SAFB2, a homolog of SAFB1. Both SAFB1 and SAFB2 are ubiquitously coexpressed and share very high sequence similarity, suggesting that they might function in a similar manner. However, unlike SAFB1, exclusively existing in the nucleus, SAFB2 is also present in the cytoplasm. The additional cytoplasmic localization of SAFB2 implies that it could play additional roles in the cytoplasmic compartment which are distinct from the nuclear functions shared with SAFB1.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €­ã¢€0€0€ €‚Õcd12680, RRM_THOC4, RNA recognition motif in THO complex subunit 4 (THOC4) and similar proteins.

SKAR is widely expressed and localizes to the nucleus. It may be a critical player in the function of S6K1 in cell and organism growth control by binding the activated, hyperphosphorylated form of S6K1 but not S6K2. Furthermore, SKAR functions as a protein partner of the p50 subunit of DNA polymerase delta.

MATR3 has been implicated in various biological processes. It is involved in RNA processing by interacting with other nuclear proteins to anchor hyperedited RNAs to the nuclear matrix. It plays a role in mRNA stabilization through maintaining the stability of certain mRNA species.

Plexins form a conserved family of transmembrane receptors for semaphorins and may be the ancestors of semaphorins. Plexins are divided into four types (A-D) according to sequence similarity.There are three members of the Plexin-B subfamily, namely B1, B2 and B3. Plexins-B1, B2 and B3 are receptors for Sema4D, Sema4C and Sema4G, and Sema5A, respectively. The activation of plexin-B1 by Sema4D produces an acute collapse of axonal growth cones in hippocampal and retinal neurons over the early stages of neurite outgrowth and promotes branching and complexity. By signaling the effect of Sema4C and Sema4G, the plexin-B2 receptor is critically involved in neural tube closure and cerebellar granule cell development. Plexin-B3, the receptor of Sema5A, is a highly potent stimulator of neurite outgrowth of primary murine cerebellar neurons. Plexin-B3 has been linked to verbal performance and white matter volume in human brain. Small GTPases play important roles in plexin-B signaling. Plexin-B1 activates Rho through Rho-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factors, leading to neurite retraction. Plexin-B1 possesses an intrinsic GTPase-activating protein activity for R-Ras and induces growth cone collapse through R-Ras inactivation. Plexins contain a C-terminal RasGAP domain, which functions as an enhancer of the hydrolysis of GTP that is bound to Ras-GTPases. Plexins display GAP activity towards the Ras homolog Rap. Although the Rho (Ras homolog) GTPases are most closely related to members of the Ras family, RhoGAP and RasGAP show no sequence homology at their amino acid level. RasGTPases function as molecular switches in a large number of of signaling pathways. When bound to GTP they are in the on state and when bound to GDP they are in the off state.

Plexin-D1 has been identified as the receptor of Sema3E. It binds to Sema3E directly with high affinity. Sema3E is implicated in axonal path finding and inhibition of developmental and postischemic angiogenesis. Plexin-D1 is broadly expressed on tumor vessels and tumor cells in a number of different types of human tumors. The Plexin-D1 and Sema3E interaction inhibits tumor growth but promotes invasiveness and metastasis.

Plexin-C1 has been identified as the receptor of semaphorin 7A, which plays regulatory roles in both the immune and nervous systems. Unlike other semaphorins which act as repulsive guidance cues, Sema7A enhances central and peripheral axon growth and is required for proper axon tract formation during embryonic development. Plexin-C1 is a potential tumor suppressor for melanoma progression. The expression of Plexin-C1 is diminished or absent in human melanoma cell lines. Cofilin, an actin-binding protein involved in cell migration, is a downstream target of Sema7A and Plexin-C1 signaling. Melanoma invasion and metastasis may be promoted through the loss of Plexin-C1 inhibitory signaling on cofilin activation.

In vertebrates, there are four type A plexins (A1-A4) that serve as the co-receptors for neuropilins to mediate the signaling of class 3 semaphorins except Sema3E, which signals through Plexin-D1. Plexins serve as direct receptors for several other members of the semaphorin family: class 1 and class 6 semaphorins signal through type A plexins, which mediate diverse biological functions including axon guidance, cardiovascular development, and immune function. Guanylyl cyclase Gyc76C and Off-track kinase (OTK), a putative receptor tyrosine kinase, modulate Sema1a and Plexin-A mediated axon repulsion. In their complex with Sema6s, type A plexins serve as signal-transducing subunits. An increasing number of molecules that interact with the intracellular region of Plexin-A have been identified; among them are IgCAMs (in axon guidance events) and Trem2-DAP12 (in immune responses).

Mice lacking Plexin-B2 demonstrated defects in closure of the neural tube and disorganization of the embryonic brain. In developing kidney, Sema4C and Plexin-B2 signaling modulates ureteric branching. Plexin-B2 is expressed both in the pretubular aggregates and the ureteric epithelium in the developing kidney.

It also recognizes the kinase Pto to activate effector-triggered immunity (ETI). AvrPtoB contains an N-terminal region that contains two kinase-interacting domains (KID) and a C-terminal E3 ligase domain. The first KID recognizes the PTI-associated kinase Bti9 as well as Pto, and is referred to as the Pto-binding domain (PID). The second KID interacts with BAK1 and FLS2, which are leucine-rich repeat-containing receptor-like kinases, and is called the BAK1-interacting domain (BID).

AKAPs coordinate the specificity of PKA signaling by facilitating the localization of the kinase to subcellular sites through their binding to regulatory (R) subunits of PKA. AKAP-10, also called PRKA10 or Dual-specific AKAP 2 (D-AKAP2), is a multisubunit protein containing two regulator of G protein signaling (RGS)-like domains and a PKA-binding (AKB) domain. The AKB domain of AKAP10 can bind to the dimerization/docking (D/D) domains of both RI and RII regulatory subunits of PKA. This model also includes a C-terminal PDZ-binding motif that binds to PDZK1 and NHERF-1, allowing AKAP10 to link indirectly to membrane proteins. Mutations in AKAP10 can alter its binding to R subunits, which may alter the targeting of PKA; some AKAP10 mutations are associated with abnormalities including hypertension, increased risk of severe arrhythmias during kidney transplantation, and familial breast cancer.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Có¢€0€0€ €‚ícd12805, Allergen_V_VI, Group V, VI major allergens from grass, including Phlp 5, Phlp 6, Pha a 5 and Lol p 5. This family contains major allergens from various grass pollen, including Phl p 5 and Phl p 6 (timothy grass), Lol p 5 (rye grass) and Pha a 5 (canary grass).

These group V and group VI grass-pollen allergens belong to a new class of protease-resistant four-helix-bundle domains, which also have internal helix-turn-helix homology pointing to a special type of four-helix bundle topology, defined as twinned two-helix bundle. IgE binding experiments with recombinant Phl p 6 fragments indicated that the N terminus of the allergen is required for IgE recognition. Immunotherapy treatment for these allergies generally involves administration of grass pollen extracts which induce an initial rise in specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) production followed by a progressive decline during the treatment.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Cô¢€0€0€ €‚Ñcd12806, Esterase_713_like, Novel bacterial esterase that cleaves esters on halogenated cyclic compounds.

CarS, an antirepressor present in Cystobacterineae, recognizes repressors to turn on the photo-inducible promoter P(B). In the dark, access to the P(B) promoter is blocked by the repressor CarA. Blue light causes expression of CarS, leading the way to the CarA-CarS interaction which dismantles the CarA-operator complex, resulting in the derepression of the P(B) promoter. A parallel pathway for regulating P(B) involves the interaction of CarS with the repressor CarH, which shares the domain architecture of CarA. CarH and CarA contain an N-terminal, MerR-type winged-helix DNA-binding domain that recognizes CarS. CarS adopts an SH3-like fold with loop length variations and acts as an operator DNA mimic.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Cý¢€0€0€ €‚…cd12841, TM_EphA1, Transmembrane domain of Ephrin Receptor A1 Protein Tyrosine Kinase. Ephrin receptors (EphRs) comprise the largest subfamily of receptor PTKs, and are classified into two classes (EphA and EphB), corresponding to binding preferences for either GPI-anchored ephrin-A ligands or transmembrane ephrin-B ligands. Vertebrates have ten EphA and six EphB receptors, which display promiscuous ligand interactions within each class. EphA1 has been associated with late-onset Alzheimer's disease and certain cancers such as colorectal and gastric carcinomas. EphRs contain an ephrin binding domain and two fibronectin repeats extracellularly, a single-span transmembrane (TM) domain, and a cytoplasmic tyr kinase domain. Binding of the ephrin ligand to EphR requires cell-cell contact since both are anchored to the plasma membrane. This allows ephrin/EphR dimers to form, leading to the activation of the intracellular tyr kinase domain. The resulting downstream signals occur bidirectionally in both EphR-expressing cells (forward signaling) and ephrin-expressing cells (reverse signaling). The main effect of ephrin/EphR interaction is cell-cell repulsion or adhesion. Ephrin/EphR signaling is important in neural development and plasticity, cell morphogenesis and proliferation, cell-fate determination, embryonic development, tissue patterning, and angiogenesis. The TM domain mediates dimerization.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €Cþ¢€0€0€ €‚.cd12843, Bvu_2165_C_like, The C-terminal domain of uncharacterized bacterial proteins.

MqsR pairs with its antitoxin MqsA, forming a unique family of toxin:antitoxin (TA) systems. MqsR has been found to be structurally homologous to the bacterial ribonuclease (RelE) toxins; however, its sequence is not similar to any other known toxins and therefore its molecular function is as yet unknown.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €«ß¢€0€0€ €‚Šcd12870, MqsA, antitoxin MqsA for MqsR toxin.

This SPRY domain is found at the C-terminus of Ash2 (absent, small, or homeotic discs 2) -like proteins, core components of all mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL) family histone methyltransferases. Ash2 is a member of the trithorax group of transcriptional regulators of the Hox genes. Recent studies show that the SPRY domain of Ash2 mediates the interaction with RbBP5 and has an important role in regulating the methyltransferase activity of MLL complexes. In yeast, Ash2 is involved in histone methylation and is required for the earliest stages of embryogenesis.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €|,¢€0€0€ €‚‰cd12873, SPRY_DDX1, SPRY domain associated with DEAD box gene DDX1. This SPRY domain is associated with the DEAD box gene, DDX1, an RNA-dependent ATPase involved in HIV-1 Rev function and virus replication. It is suggested that DDX1 acts as a cellular cofactor by promoting oligomerization of Rev on the Rev response element (RRE). DDX1 RNA is overexpressed in breast cancer, data showing a strong and independent association between poor prognosis and deregulation of the DEAD box protein DDX1, thus potentially serving as an effective prognostic biomarker for early recurrence in primary breast cancer. DDX1 also interacts with RelA and enhances nuclear factor kappaB-mediated transcription. DEAD-box proteins are associated with all levels of RNA metabolism and function, and have been implicated in translation initiation, transcription, RNA splicing, ribosome assembly, RNA transport, and RNA decay.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €|-¢€0€0€ €‚•cd12874, SPRY_PRY, PRY/SPRY domain, also known as B30.2. This domain contains residues in the N-terminus that form a distinct PRY domain structure such that the 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 core); Stonutoxin (secreted poisonous protein of the stonefish Synanceia horrida). 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. Among the TRIM proteins, also known as the N-terminal RING finger/B-box/coiled coil (RBCC) family, only Classes I and II contain the B30.2 domain that has evolved under positive selection. Class I TRIM proteins include multiple members involved in antiviral immunity at various levels of interferon signaling cascade. Among the 75 human TRIMs, roughly half enhance immune response, which they do at multiple levels in signaling pathways. The PRY-SPRY domain in these TRIM families is suggested to serve as the target binding site.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €|.¢€0€0€ €‚scd12875, SPRY_SOCS_Fbox, SPRY domain in Fbxo45 and suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) proteins. This family consists of the SPRY domain-containing SOCS box protein family (SPSB1-4, also known as SSB-1 to -4) as well as F-box protein 45 (Fbxo45), a novel synaptic E3 and ubiquitin ligase. The SPSB protein is composed of a central SPRY protein interaction domain and a C-terminal SOCS box. SPSB1, SPSB2, and SPSB4 interact with prostate apoptosis response protein 4 (Par-4) and are negative regulators that recruit the ECS E3 ubiquitin ligase complex to polyubiquitinate inducible nitric-oxide synthase (iNOS), resulting in its proteasomal degradation. Fbxo45 is related to this family; it is located N-terminal to the SPRY domain, and known to induce the degradation of a synaptic vesicle-priming factor, Munc13-1, via the SPRY domain, thus playing an important role in the regulation of neurotransmission by modulating Munc13-1 at the synapse. Suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) proteins negatively regulate signaling from JAK-associated cytokine receptor complexes, and play key roles in the regulation of immune homeostasis.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €|/¢€0€0€ €‚cd12876, SPRY_SOCS3, SPRY domain in the suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) family. The SPRY domain-containing SOCS box protein family (SPSB1-4, also known as SSB-1 to -4) is composed of a central SPRY protein interaction domain and a C-terminal SOCS box. All four SPSB proteins interact with c-Met, the hepatocyte growth factor receptor, but SOCS3 regulates cellular response to a variety of cytokines such as leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and interleukin 6. SOCS3, along with SOCS1, are expressed by immune cells and cells of the central nervous system (CNS) and have the potential to impact immune processes within the CNS. In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), SOCS3 is silenced and proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (Pyk2) is over-expressed; it has been suggested that SOCS3 could be an effective way to prevent the progression of NSCLC due to its role in regulating Pyk2 expression.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €|0¢€0€0€ €‚"cd12877, SPRY1_RyR, SPRY domain 1 (SPRY1) of ryanodine receptor (RyR).

Its function is specifically modulated by E1B-55kDa in adenovirus-infected cells. HNRPUL1 also participates in ATR protein kinase signaling pathways during adenovirus infection. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

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 eukaryotic 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).¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €|8¢€0€0€ €‚Ìcd12887, SPRY_NHR_like, SPRY domain in neuralized homology repeat. This family contains the neuralized homology repeat 1 (NHR1) domain similar to the SPRY domain (known to mediate specific protein-protein interactions) at the C-terminus of a conserved region within eukaryotic neuralized and neuralized-like proteins. In Drosophila, the neuralized protein (Neur) belongs to a group of ubiquitin ligases and is required in a subset of Notch pathway-mediated cell fate decisions during development of the nervous system. Neur binds to the Notch receptor ligand Delta through its first NHR1 domain and mediates its ubiquitination for endocytosis.

This domain, consisting of the distinct N-terminal PRY subdomain followed by the SPRY subdomain, is found at the C-terminus of several tripartite motif-containing (TRIM) proteins, including TRIM7 (also referred to as glycogenin-interacting protein, RING finger protein 90 or RNF90), TRIM10, TRIM15, TRIM26, TRIM39 and TRIM41. TRIM7 or GNIP interacts with glycogenin and stimulates its self-glucosylating activity via its SPRY domain. TRIM10 (also known as hematopoietic RING finger 1 (HERF1) or TRIM10/HERF1) plays a key role in definitive erythroid development; downregulation of the Spi-1/PU.1 oncogene induces the expression of TRIM10/HERF1, a key factor required for terminal erythroid cell differentiation and survival. Antiviral activity of TRIM15 is dependent on the ability of its B-box to interact with the MLV Gag precursor protein; downregulation of TRIM15, along with TRIM11, enhances virus release suggesting that these proteins contribute to the endogenous restriction of retroviruses in cells. Tripartite motif-containing 26 (TRIM26) function is as yet unknown; however, since it is localized in the human histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I region, TRIM26 may play a role in immune response although studies show no association between TRIM26 polymorphisms and the risk of aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease. TRIM39 is a MOAP-1 (Modulator of Apoptosis)-binding protein that stabilizes MOAP-1 through inhibition of its poly-ubiquitination process.

It is a regulator of keratinocyte differentiation and a tumor suppressor in retinoid-sensitive neuroblastoma.

TRIM16 (also known as estrogen-responsive B box protein or EBBP) has E3 ubiquitin ligase activity. It is a regulator of keratinocyte differentiation and a tumor suppressor in retinoid-sensitive neuroblastoma. TRIM25 (also called Efp) ubiquitinates the N terminus of the viral RNA receptor retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I) in response to viral infection, leading to activation of the RIG-I signaling pathway, thus resulting in type I interferon production to limit viral replication. It has been shown that the influenza A virus targets TRIM25 and disables its antiviral function. TRIM47, also known as GOA (Gene overexpressed in astrocytoma protein) or RNF100 (RING finger protein 100), is highly expressed in kidney tubular cells, but low expressed in most tissue. It is overexpressed in astrocytoma tumor cells and plays an important role in the process of dedifferentiation that is associated with astrocytoma tumorigenesis. RNF135 ubiquitinates RIG-I (retinoic acid-inducible gene-I) to promote interferon-beta induction during the early phase of viral infection. Stonustoxin (STNX) is a hypotensive and lethal protein factor that also possesses other biological activities such as species-specific hemolysis (due to its ability to form pores in the cell membrane) and platelet aggregation, edema-induction, and endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation (mediated by the nitric oxide pathway and activation of potassium channels).

TRIM72 (also known as MG53) has been shown to perform a critical function in membrane repair following acute muscle injury by nucleating the assembly of the repair machinery at injury sites. It is expressed specifically in skeletal muscle and heart, and tethered to the plasma membrane and cytoplasmic vesicles via its interaction with phosphatidylserine.

TRIM76 (also known as cardiomyopathy-associated protein 5 or CMYA5 or myospryn or SPRYD2) is a muscle-specific member of the TRIM superfamily, but lacks the RING domain. It has been suggested that TRIM76 is involved in two distinct processes, protein kinase A signaling and vesicular trafficking. It has also been implicated in Duchenne muscular dystrophy and cardiac disease; gene polymorphism of TRIM76 is associated with left ventricular wall thickness in patients with hypertension while its interactions with M-band titin and calpain 3 link it to tibial and limb-girdle muscular dystrophies.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €|C¢€0€0€ €‚cd12899, SPRY_PRY_TRIM76_like, PRY/SPRY domain in tripartite motif-containing protein 76 (TRIM76)-like.

TRIM21 domains are composed of RING/B-box/coiled-coil core and also known as RBCC proteins. As an E3 ligase, TRIM21 mediates target specificity in ubiquitination; it regulates type 1 interferon and proinflammatory cytokines via ubiquitination of interferon regulatory factors (IRFs). It is up-regulated at the site of autoimmune inflammation, such as cutaneous lupus lesions, indicating a central role in the tissue destructive inflammatory process. It interacts with auto-antigens in patients with Sjogren syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus, a chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterized by the presence of autoantibodies against the protein component of the human intracellular ribonucleoprotein-RNA complexes and more specifically TRIM21, Ro60/TROVE2 and La/SSB proteins.

This domain, consisting of the distinct N-terminal PRY subdomain followed by the SPRY subdomain, is found at the C-terminus of the RING finger protein RNF135 (also known as Riplet/RNF135), which ubiquitinates RIG-I (retinoic acid-inducible gene-I) to promote interferon-beta induction during the early phase of viral infection. Normally, RIG-I is activated by TRIM25 in response to viral infection, leading to activation of the RIG-I signaling pathway, thus resulting in type I interferon production to limit viral replication. However, RNF135, consisting of an N-terminal RING finger domain, C-terminal SPRY and PRY motifs and showing sequence similarity to TRIM25, acts as an alternative factor that promotes RIG-I activation independent of TRIM25.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €|G¢€0€0€ €‚ cd12903, SPRY_PRY_SPRYD4, PRY/SPRY domain containing protein 4 (SPRYD4).

This domain, consisting of the distinct N-terminal PRY subdomain followed by the SPRY subdomain, is found at the C-terminus of TRIM69 and TRIM proteins NF7 and bloodthirsty (bty). TRIM69 is a novel testis E3 ubiquitin ligase that may function to ubiquitinate its particular substrates during spermatogenesis. In humans, TRIM69 localizes in the cytoplasm and nucleus, and requires an intact RING finger domain to function. TRIM protein NF7, which also contains a chromodomain (CHD) at the N-terminus and an RFP (Ret finger protein)-like domain at the C-terminus, is required for its association with transcriptional units of RNA polymerase II which is mediated by a trimeric B box. In Xenopus oocyte, xNF7 has been identified as a nuclear microtubule-associated protein (MAP) whose microtubule-bundling activity, but not E3-ligase activity, contributes to microtubule organization and spindle integrity. Bloodthirsty (bty) is a novel gene identified in zebrafish and has been shown to likely play a role in in regulation of the terminal steps of erythropoiesis.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €|J¢€0€0€ €‚ecd12906, SPRY_SOCS1-2-4, SPRY domain in the suppressor of cytokine signaling 1, 2, 4 families (SOCS1, SOCS2, SOCS4). The SPRY domain-containing SOCS box protein family (SPSB1-4, also known as SSB-1 to -4) is composed of a central SPRY protein interaction domain and a C-terminal SOCS box. All four SPSB proteins interact with c-Met, the hepatocyte growth factor receptor, but only SPSB1, SPSB2, and SPSB4 interact with prostate apoptosis response protein 4 (Par-4). They are negative regulators that recruit the ECS E3 ubiquitin ligase complex to polyubiquitinate inducible nitric-oxide synthase (iNOS), resulting in its proteasomal degradation, thus contributing to protection against the cytotoxic effect of iNOS in activated macrophages. It has been shown that SPSB1 and SPSB4 induce the degradation of iNOS more strongly than SPSB2. The Drosophila melanogaster SPSB1 homolog, GUSTAVUS, interacts with the DEAD box RNA helicase Vasa. Suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) proteins negatively regulate signaling from JAK-associated cytokine receptor complexes, and play key roles in the regulation of immune homeostasis.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €|K¢€0€0€ €‚9cd12907, SPRY_Fbox, SPRY domain in the F-box family Fbxo45.

RanBP9 (also known as RanBPM), a binding partner of Ran, is a small Ras-like GTPase that exerts multiple functions via interactions with various proteins. RanBP9 and RanBP10 also act as androgen receptor (AR) coactivators. Both consist of the N-terminal proline- and glutamine-rich regions, the SPRY domain, and LisH-CTLH and CRA motifs. SPRY domain of RanBPM forms a complex with CD39, a prototypic member of the NTPDase family, thus down-regulating activity substantially. RanBP10 enhances the transcriptional activity of AR in a ligand-dependent manner and exhibits a protein expression pattern different from RanBPM in various cell lines. RanBP10 is highly expressed in AR-positive prostate cancer LNCaP cells, while RanBPM is abundant in WI-38 and MCF-7 cells.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €|N¢€0€0€ €‚&cd12910, SPRY_SSH4_like, SPRY domain in SSH4 and similar proteins.

SSH4 is a component of the endosome-vacuole trafficking pathway that regulates nutrient transport and may be involved in processes determining whether plasma membrane proteins are degraded or routed to the plasma membrane. The SPRY domain in SSH4 may be involved in cargo recognition, either directly or by combination with other adaptors, possibly leading to a higher selectivity. In yeast, SSH4 and the homologous protein EAR1 (endosomal adapter of RSP5) recruit Rsp5p, an essential ubiquitin ligase of the Nedd4 family, and assist it in its function at multivesicular bodies by directing the ubiquitylation of specific cargoes.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €|O¢€0€0€ €‚ cd12916, VKOR_1, Vitamin K epoxide reductase family in bacteria and plants.

Warfarin, a widely used oral anticoagulant used in medicine as well as rodenticides, inhibits the activity of VKOR, resulting in decreased levels of reduced vitamin K, which is required for the function of several clotting factors. However, anticoagulation effect of warfarin is significantly associated with polymorphism of certain genes, including VKORC1.

The NOPS domain specifically binds to RRM2 domain of the partner DBHS protein via a substantial interaction surface. Its highly conserved C-terminal residues are critical for functional DBHS dimerization while the highly conserved C-terminal helical extension, forming a right-handed antiparallel heterodimeric coiled-coil, is essential for localization of these proteins to subnuclear bodies.

It is absent from the inner nuclear membrane in most patients with X-linked muscular dystrophy. Emerin interacts with A-type and B-type lamins. Man1, also termed LEM domain-containing protein 3 (LEMD3) is an integral protein of the inner nuclear membrane that binds to nuclear lamins and emerin, thus playing a role in nuclear organization. LAP2, also termed thymopoietin (TP), or thymopoietin-related peptide (TPRP), is composed of isoform alpha and isoforms beta/gamma and may be involved in chromatin organization and post-mitotic reassembly. Some LAP2 isoforms are inner nuclear membrane proteins that can bind to nuclear lamins and chromatin, while others are non-membrane nuclear polypeptides. This family also contains LEM domain-containing protein LEMP-1 and LEM2. LEMP-1, also termed cancer/testis antigen 50 (CT50), is encoded by LEMD1, a novel testis-specific gene expressed in colorectal cancers. LEMP-1 may function as a cancer-testis antigen for immunotherapy of colorectal carcinoma (CRC).

Some of the LAP2 isoforms are inner nuclear membrane proteins that can bind to nuclear lamins and chromatin, while others are nonmembrane nuclear polypeptides. All LAP2 isoforms contain an N-terminal lamina-associated polypeptide-Emerin-MAN1 (LEM)-domain that is connected to a highly divergent LEM-like domain by an unstructured linker. Both LEM and LEM-like domains share the same structural fold, mainly composed of two large parallel alpha helices.

The LEM domain is responsible for the interaction with the nonspecific DNA binding protein barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF), and the LEM-like domain is involved in chromosome binding. The family also includes the yeast helix-extension-helix domain-containing proteins, Heh1p (formerly called Src1p) and Heh2p, and their uncharacterized homologs found mainly in fungi and several in bacteria. Heh1p and Heh2p are inner nuclear membrane proteins that might interact with nuclear pore complexes (NPCs). Heh1p is involved in mitosis. It functions at the interface between subtelomeric gene expression and transcription export (TREX)-dependent messenger RNA export through NPCs. The function of Heh2p remains ill-defined.

RH-II/Gualpha, also termed nucleolar RNA helicase 2, or DEAD box protein 21, or nucleolar RNA helicase Gu, is a bifunctional enzyme that displays independent RNA-unwinding and RNA-folding activities. It unwinds double-stranded RNA in the 5' to 3' direction in the presence of Mg2+ through the domains in its N-terminal region. In contrast, it folds single-stranded RNA in an ATP-dependent manner and its C-terminal region is responsible for the Mg2+ independent RNA-foldase activity. RH-II/Gualpha consists of a DEAD box helicase domain (DEAD), a helicase conserved C-terminal domain (helicase_C), and a GUCT followed by three FRGQR repeats and one PRGQR sequence. The DEAD and helicase_C domains may play critical roles in the RNA-helicase activity of RH-II/Gualpha. The function of GUCT domain remains unclear. The C-terminal region responsible for the RNA-foldase activity does not overlap with the GUCT domain. RH-II/Gubeta, also termed ATP-dependent RNA helicase DDX50, or DEAD box protein 50, or nucleolar protein Gu2, shows significant sequence homology with RH-II/Gualpha.

These CBMs have no enzymatic activity. The precise mechanistic roles of SusE and SusF in starch metabolism are unclear. Both proteins contain an N-terminal domain which may belong to the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF), followed by two or three tandem starch-binding CBMs. SusF has three CBMs (CBM-Fa, -Fb, and -Fc; F denotes SusF, and they are labeled alphabetically from the N- to C- terminus).

This subfamily contains molybdate binding protein-like (ModA3) domain of an ABC-type transporter. Molybdate transport system is comprised of a periplasmic binding protein, an integral membrane protein, and an energizer protein. These three proteins are coded by modA, modB, and modC genes, respectively. ModA proteins serve as initial receptors in the ABC transport of molybdate mostly in eubacteria and archaea. ModA transporters import molybdenum and tungsten from the environment in the form of the oxyanions molybdate (MoO(4) (2-)) and tungstate (WO(4) (2-)). After binding molybdate with high affinity, they interact with a cognate membrane transport complex comprised of two integral membrane domains and two cytoplasmically located ATPase.

Transferrins are iron-binding blood plasma glycoproteins that regulate the level of free iron in biological fluids. Vertebrate transferrins are made of a single polypeptide chain with a molecular weight of about 80 kDa. The polypeptide is folded into two homologous lobes (the N-lobe and C-lobe), and each lobe is further subdivided into two similar alpha helical and beta sheet domains separated by a deep cleft that forms the binding site for ferric iron. Thus, the transferrin protein contains two homologous metal-binding sites with high affinities for ferric iron. The modern transferrin proteins are thought to be evolved from an ancestral gene coding for a protein of 40 kDa containing a single binding site by means of a gene duplication event. Vertebrate transferrins are found in a variety of bodily fluids, including serum transferrins, ovotransferrins, lactoferrins, and melanotransferrins. Transferrin-like proteins are also found in the circulatory fluid of certain invertebrates. The transferrins have the same structural fold as the type 2 periplasmic-binding proteins, many of which are involved in chemotaxis and uptake of nutrients and other small molecules from the extracellular space as a primary receptor.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €§¢€0€0€ €‚lcd13530, PBP2_peptides_like, Peptide-binding protein and related homologs; type 2 periplasmic binding protein fold.

They are typically comprised of two globular subdomains connected by a flexible hinge and bind their ligand in the cleft between these domains in a manner resembling a Venus flytrap. The majority of PBP2 proteins function in the uptake of small soluble substrates in eubacteria and archaea. After binding their specific ligand with high affinity, they can interact with a cognate membrane transport complex comprised of two integral membrane domains and two cytoplasmically-located ATPase domains.

This predicted periplasmic protein, called MoxJ or MxaJ, is required for methanol oxidation in Methylobacterium extorquens. Homology suggests it is the substrate-binding protein of an ABC transporter associated with methanol oxidation. Other evidence also suggests that MoxJ is an accessory factor or additional subunit of methanol dehydrogenase itself. Mutational studies show a dependence on this protein for expression of the PQQ-dependent, two-subunit methanol dehydrogenase (MxaF and MxaI) in Methylobacterium extorquens, as if it is a chaperone for enzyme assembly or a third subunit. A homologous N-terminal sequence was found in Paracoccus denitrificans as a 32Kd third subunit. MoxJ may be both, a component of a periplasmic enzyme that converts methanol to formaldehyde and a component of an ABC transporter that delivers the resulting formaldehyde to the cell's interior.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €©¢€0€0€ €‚}cd13532, PBP2_PDT_like, Catalytic domain of prephenate dehydratase and similar proteins; the type 2 periplasmic binding protein fold. Prephenate dehydratase (PDT, EC:4.2.1.51) converts prephenate to phenylpyruvate through dehydration and decarboxylation reactions. PDT plays a key role in the biosynthesis of L-Phe in organisms that utilize the shikimate pathway. PDT is allosterically regulated by L-Phe and other amino acids. The catalytic PDT domain consists of two similar subdomains with a cleft in between, which hosts the highly conserved active site. In gram-postive bacteria and archaea, PDT is a monofunctional enzyme, consisting of a catalytic domain (PDT domain) and a regulatory domain (ACT) (aspartokinase, chorismate mustase domain). In gram-negative bacteria, PDT exists as fusion protein with chorismate mutase (CM), forming a bifunctional enzyme, P-protein (PheA). The CM in the P-protein catalyzes the pericycle isomerization of chorismate to prephenate that serves as a substrate for PDT. The CM and PDT are essentail enzymes for the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids in microorganisms but are not found in humans. Thus, both CM and PDT can potentially serve as drug targets against microbial pathogens.

Mouse Rtel is an essential protein required for the maintenance of both telomeric and genomic stability. RTEL1 appears to maintain genome stability by suppressing homologous recombination (HR). In vitro, purified human and insect RTEL1 have been shown to promote the disassembly of D loop recombination intermediates, in a reaction dependent upon ATP hydrolysis. Human RTEL1 is implicated in the etiology of Dyskeratosis congenital (DC, is an inherited bone marrow failure and cancer predisposition syndrome). Point mutations in its helicase domains, and truncations which result in loss of its C-terminus have been discovered in DC families. RTEL1 is also a candidate gene influencing glioma susceptibility.

The 4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl diphosphate (HMBPP) reductase (called lytB or ispH) is the terminal enzyme of the mevalonate-independent 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway, one of the two metabolic routes for isoprenoid biosynthesis. The MEP pathway is essential in many eubacteria, plants, and the malaria parasite.

Chs5/6 is a multi-protein complex conserved in fungi that interacts with chitin synthase III (Chs3p) and is involved in its transport to the cell surface from the trans-Golgi network, functioning as an exomer cargo adapter. Chs5p appears to form a complex with Chs6p and its paralogs Bch1p, Bud7p, and Bch2p. In this complex, Chs5p may act as a central scaffold. The N-terminal domain characterized by this model forms a homodimer and has been shown to interact with Chs6p and Bch1p. It may function as a flexible hinge domain that allows the exomer to interact with both proteins and the Golgi membrane as the latter undergoes changes in curvature during the formation of transport vesicles. The dimerization domain sits N-terminally to a conserved FBE (FN3-BRCT) unit, which binds Arf1 an is involved in the recruitment of the exomer to the membrane.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ø¢€0€0€ €‚Ácd13946, LysW, Lysine biosynthesis protein LysW. LysW functions as a carrier protein in the biosynthesis pathway of lysine. The C-terminal glutamate sidechain of LysW attaches to the amino group of alpha-aminoadipate (AAA); this peptide bond formation is catalyzed by the ligase LysX. AAA remains associated with LysW throughout its biosynthetic conversion to lysine. LysW also acts to protect the amino group of glutamate in arginine biosynthesis.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €ø¢€0€0€ €‚Šcd13949, 7tm_V1R_pheromone, vomeronasal organ pheromone receptor type-1 family, member of the seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. This family represents vomeronasal type-1 receptors (V1Rs) that are specifically expressed in the vomeronasal organ (VNO), which is the sensory organ of the accessory olfactory system present in amphibians, reptiles, and non-primate mammals such as mice and rodents, but it is non-functional or absent in humans, apes and monkeys. The VNO detects pheromones, chemicals released from animals that can influence social and reproductive behaviors, such as male-male aggression or sexual mating, in other members of the same species. On the other hand, the olfactory epithelium, which contains olfactory receptor neurons inside the nasal cavity, is responsible for detecting odor molecules (smells). There are two types of vertebrate pheromones: (1) small volatile molecules such as 2-heptanone, a substance in the urine of both male and female that extends estrous cycle length in female mice; and (2) water-soluble molecules such as the major histocompatibility complex (HMC) class-I peptide, which can induce the pregnancy block effect, the tendency for female rodents to abort their pregnancies upon exposure to the scent of an unknown male. While V1Rs and G-alpha(i2) protein are co-expressed in the apical neurons of the VNO, V2Rs (type-2 vomeronasal receptors) and G-alpha(o) protein are coexpressed in the basal layer of the VNO. Activation of V1R or V2R causes stimulation of phospholipase pathway, generating diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3). V1Rs have a short N-terminal extracellular domain, whereas V2Rs contain a long N-terminal extracellular domain, which is believed to bind pheromones. Although V1Rs share the seven-transmembrane domain structure with V1Rs and olfactory receptors, they share little sequence similarity with each other.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €âW¢€0€0€ €‚Hcd13950, 7tm_TAS2R, mammalian taste receptors type 2, member of the seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. This group represents a family of mammalian taste receptors (TAS2Rs), which function as bitter taste receptors. The human TAS2R family contains about 25 functional members, which are glycoproteins and have the ability to form both homomeric and heteromeric receptor complexes. Five basic tastes are perceived by animals: bitter, sweet, sour, salty, and umami (the taste of glutamate, MSG). Among these, sour and salty are mediated by ion channels, while the perception of umami and sweet tastes is mediated by the TAS1R taste receptors, which belong to the class C GPCR family. The TAS2Rs in humans have a short extracellular N-terminus and the ligand binds within the transmembrane domain, whereas the TAS1Rs have a large N-terminal extracellular domain composed of the Venus flytrap module that forms the orthosteric (primary) ligand binding site. Signal transduction of bitter taste involves binding of bitter compounds to TAS2Rs linked to the alpha-subunit of gustaducin, a heterotrimeric G protein expressed in taste receptor cells. This G-alpha subunit stimulates phosphodiesterase and decreases cAMP and cGMP levels. Further steps in the signaling cascade is still unknown. The beta-gamma-subunit of gustducin also mediates bitter taste transduction by activating phospholipase C, which leads to an increased formation of IP3 (inositol triphosphate) and DAG (diacylglycerol), thereby causing release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores and enhanced neurotransmitter release.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €âX¢€0€0€ €‚€cd13951, 7tmF_Frizzled_SMO, class F frizzled/smoothened family, member of the 7-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. The class F G protein-coupled receptors includes the frizzled (FZD) family of seven-transmembrane proteins consisting of 10 isoforms (FZD1-10) in mammals. The FZDs are activated by the wingless/int-1 (WNT) family of secreted lipoglycoproteins and preferentially couple to stimulatory G proteins of the Gs family, which activate adenylate cyclase, but can also couple to G proteins of the Gi/Gq families. In the WNT/beta-catenin signaling pathway, the WNT ligand binds to FZD and a lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) co-receptor. This leads to the stabilization and translocation of beta-catenin to the nucleus, where it induces the activation of TCF/LEF family transcription factors. The conserved cytoplasmic motif of FZD, Lys-Thr-X-X-X-Trp, is required for activation of the WNT/beta-catenin pathway, and for membrane localization and phosphorylation of Dsh (dishevelled) protein, a key component of the WNT pathway that relays the WNT signals from the activated receptor to downstream effector proteins. Also included in the class F family is the closely related smoothened (SMO), which is a transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor that acts as the transducer of the hedgehog (HH) signaling pathway. SMO is activated by the hedgehog (HH) family of proteins acting on the 12-transmembrane domain receptor patched (PTCH), which constitutively inhibits SMO. Thus, in the absence of HH proteins, PTCH inhibits SMO signaling. On the other hand, binding of HH to the PTCH receptor activates its internalization and degradation, thereby releasing the PTCH inhibition of SMO. This allows SMO to trigger intracellular signaling and the subsequent activation of the Gli family of zinc finger transcriptional factors and induction of HH target gene expression (PTCH, Gli1, cyclin, Bcl-2, etc). The WNT and HH signaling pathways play critical roles in many developmental processes, such as cell-fate determination, cell proliferation, neural patterning, stem cell renewal, tissue homeostasis and repair, and tumorigenesis, among many others.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €âY¢€0€0€ €‚ ñcd13952, 7tm_classB, class B family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors. The class B of seven-transmembrane GPCRs is classified into three major subfamilies: subfamily B1 (secretin-like receptor family), B2 (adhesion family), and B3 (Methuselah-like family). The class B receptors have been identified in all the vertebrates, from fishes to mammals, as well as invertebrates including Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster, but are not present in plants, fungi or prokaryotes. The B1 subfamily comprises receptors for polypeptide hormones of 27-141 amino-acid residues such as secretin, glucagon, glucagon-like peptide (GLP), calcitonin gene-related peptide, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and corticotropin-releasing factor. These receptors contain the large N-terminal extracellular domain (ECD), which plays a critical role in hormone recognition by binding to the C-terminal portion of the peptide. On the other hand, the N-terminal segment of the hormone induces receptor activation by interacting with the receptor transmembrane domains and connecting extracellular loops, triggering intracellular signaling pathways. All members of the subfamily B1 receptors preferentially couple to G proteins of G(s) family, which positively stimulate adenylate cyclase, leading to increased intracellular cAMP formation and calcium influx. The subfamily B2 consists of cell-adhesion receptors with 33 members in humans and vertebrates. The adhesion receptors are characterized by the presence of large N-terminal extracellular domains containing a variety of structural motifs, which play critical roles in cell-cell adhesion and cell-matrix interactions, linked to a class B seven-transmembrane domain. These include, for example, EGF (epidermal growth factor)-like domains in CD97, Celsr1 (cadherin family member), Celsr2, Celsr3, EMR1 (EGF-module-containing mucin-like hormone receptor-like 1), EMR2, EMR3, and Flamingo; two laminin A G-type repeats and nine cadherin domains in Flamingo and its human orthologs Celsr1, Celsr2 and Celsr3; olfactomedin-like domains in the latrotoxin receptors; and five or four thrombospondin type 1 repeats in BAI1 (brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor 1), BAI2 and BAI3. Almost all adhesion receptors, except GPR123, contain an evolutionarily conserved GPCR- autoproteolysis inducing (GAIN) domain that undergoes autoproteolytic processing at the GPCR proteolysis site (GPS) motif located immediately N-terminal to the first transmembrane region, to generate N- and C-terminal fragments (NTF and CTF), which may serve important biological functions. Furthermore, the subfamily B3 includes Methuselah (Mth) protein, which was originally identified in Drosophila as a GPCR affecting stress resistance and aging, and its closely related proteins.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €âZ¢€0€0€ €‚›cd13953, 7tm_classC_mGluR-like, metabotropic glutamate receptor-like class C family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors superfamily. The class C GPCRs consist of glutamate receptors (mGluR1-8), the extracellular calcium-sensing receptors (caSR), the gamma-amino-butyric acid type B receptors (GABA-B), the vomeronasal type-2 pheromone receptors (V2R), the type 1 taste receptors (TAS1R), and the promiscuous L-alpha-amino acid receptor (GPRC6A), as well as several orphan receptors. Structurally, these receptors are typically composed of a large extracellular domain containing a Venus flytrap module which possesses the orthosteric agonist-binding site, a cysteine-rich domain (CRD) with the exception of GABA-B receptors, and the seven-transmembrane domains responsible for G protein activation. Moreover, the Venus flytrap module shows high structural homology with bacterial periplasmic amino acid-binding proteins, which serve as primary receptors in transport of a variety of soluble substrates such as amino acids and polysaccharides, among many others. The class C GPCRs exist as either homo- or heterodimers, which are essential for their function. The GABA-B1 and GABA-B2 receptors form a heterodimer via interactions between the N-terminal Venus flytrap modules and the C-terminal coiled-coiled domains. On the other hand, heterodimeric CaSRs and Tas1Rs and homodimeric mGluRs utilize Venus flytrap interactions and intermolecular disulphide bonds between cysteine residues located in the cysteine-rich domain (CRD), which can also acts as a molecular link to mediate the signal between the Venus flytrap and the 7TMs. Furthermore, members of the class C GPCRs bind a variety of endogenous ligands, ranging from amino acids, ions, to pheromones and sugar molecules, and play important roles in many physiological processes such as synaptic transmission, calcium homeostasis, and the sensation of sweet and umami tastes.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €â[¢€0€0€ €‚Mcd13954, 7tmA_OR, olfactory receptors, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors. Olfactory receptors (ORs) play a central role in olfaction, the sense of smell. ORs belong to the class A rhodopsin-like family of G protein-coupled receptors and constitute the largest multigene family in mammals of approximately 1,000 genes. More than 60% of human ORs are non-functional pseudogenes compared to only 20% in mouse. Each OR can recognize structurally similar odorants, and a single odorant can be detected by several ORs. Binding of an odorant to the olfactory receptor induces a conformational change that leads to the activation of the olfactory-specific G protein (Golf). The G protein (Golf and/or Gs) in turn stimulates adenylate cyclase to make cAMP. The cAMP opens cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channels, which allow the influx of calcium and sodium ions, resulting in depolarization of the olfactory receptor neuron and triggering an action potential which transmits this information to the brain. A consensus nomenclature system based on evolutionary divergence is used here to classify the olfactory receptor family. The nomenclature begins with the root name OR, followed by an integer representing a family, a letter denoting a subfamily, and an integer representing the individual gene within the subfamily.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €â\¢€0€0€ €‚,cd13956, PT_UbiA, UbiA family of prenyltransferases (PTases).

The pseudokinase domain shows similarity to protein kinases but lacks crucial residues for catalytic activity. Tribbles Homolog (TRB) proteins interact with many proteins involved in signaling pathways. They play scaffold-like regulatory functions and affect many cellular processes such as mitosis, apoptosis, differentiation, and gene expression. TRB proteins bind to the middle kinase in mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascades, MAPK kinases. They regulate the activity of MAPK kinases, and thus, affect MAPK signaling. In Drosophila, Tribbles regulates String, the ortholog of mammalian Cdc25, during morphogenesis. String is implicated in the progression of mitosis during embryonic development. Vertebrates contain three TRB proteins encoded by three separate genes: Tribbles-1 (TRB1 or TRIB1), Tribbles-2 (TRB2 or TRIB2), and Tribbles-3 (TRB3 or TRIB3).

RIP kinases contain a homologous N-terminal kinase domain and varying C-terminal domains. Higher vertebrates contain multiple RIP kinases, with mammals harboring at least five members. RIP1 and RIP2 harbor C-terminal domains from the Death domain (DD) superfamily while RIP4 contains ankyrin (ANK) repeats.

It is expressed towards the end of meiosis I and is quickly degraded upon fertilization. It is a component of the cytostatic factor (CSF), which is responsible for metaphase II arrest. In addition, Mos activates a phoshorylation cascade that leads to the activation of the p34 subunit of MPF (mitosis-promoting factor or maturation promoting factor), a cyclin-dependent kinase that is responsible for the release of primary arrest in meiosis I. The Mos subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other protein STKs, protein tyrosine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €"!¢€0€0€ €‚Acd13980, STKc_Vps15, Catalytic domain of the Serine/Threonine kinase, Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 15.

STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. This subfamily is composed of Bub1 (Budding uninhibited by benzimidazoles 1), BubR1, and similar proteins. They contain an N-terminal Bub1/Mad3 homology domain essential for Cdc20 binding and a C-terminal kinase domain. Bub1 and BubR1 are involved in SAC, a surveillance system that delays metaphase to anaphase transition by blocking the activity of APC/C (the anaphase promoting complex) until all chromosomes achieve proper attachments to the mitotic spindle, to avoid chromosome missegregation. Impaired SAC leads to genomic instabilities and tumor development. Bub1 and BubR1 facilitate the localization of SAC proteins to kinetochores and regulate kinetochore-microtubule (K-MT) attachments. Repression studies of Bub1 and BubR1 show that they exert an additive effect in misalignment phenotypes and may function cooperatively or in parallel pathways in regulating K-MT attachments. The Bub1/BubR1 subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other protein STKs, protein tyrosine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €"#¢€0€0€ €‚˜cd13982, STKc_IRE1, Catalytic domain of the Serine/Threonine kinase, Inositol-requiring protein 1. STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. IRE1, also called Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-to-nucleus signaling protein (or ERN), is an ER-localized type I transmembrane protein with kinase and endoribonuclease domains in the cytoplasmic side. It acts as an ER stress sensor and is the oldest and most conserved component of the unfolded protein response (UPR) in eukaryotes. The UPR 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. During ER stress, IRE1 dimerizes 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). The Ire1 subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other protein STKs, protein tyrosine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.¡€0€ª€0€ €CDD¡€ €"$¢€0€0€ €‚¿cd13983, STKc_WNK, Catalytic domain of the Serine/Threonine kinase, With No Lysine (WNK) kinase. STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. WNKs comprise a subfamily of STKs with an unusual placement of a catalytic lysine relative to all other protein kinases. They are critical in regulating ion balance and are thus, important components in the control of blood pressure. They are also involved in cell signaling, survival, proliferation, and organ development. WNKs are activated by hyperosmotic or low-chloride hypotonic stress and they function upstream of SPAK and OSR1 kinases, which regulate the activity of cation-chloride cotransporters through direct interaction and phosphorylation. There are four vertebrate WNKs which show varying expression patterns. WNK1 and WNK2 are widely expressed while WNK3 and WNK4 show a more restricted expression pattern. Because mutations in human WNK1 and WNK4 cause PseudoHypoAldosteronism type II (PHAII), characterized by hypertension (due to increased sodium reabsorption) and hyperkalemia (due to impaired renal potassium secretion), there are more studies conducted on these two proteins, compared to WNK2 and WNK3.

The pseudokinase domain shows similarity to protein kinases but lacks crucial residues for catalytic activity and/or ATP binding. This subfamily is composed of NRBP1, also called MLF1-adaptor molecule (MADM), and MADML. NRBP1 was originally named based on the presence of nuclear binding and localization motifs prior to functional analyses. It is expressed ubiquitously and is found to localize in the cytoplasm, not the nucleus. NRBP1 is an adaptor protein that interacts with myeloid leukemia factor 1 (MLF1), an oncogene that enhances myeloid development of hematopoietic cells. It also interacts with the small GTPase Rac3. NRBP1 may also be involved in Golgi to ER trafficking. MADML (for MADM-Like) has been shown to be expressed throughout development in Xenopus laevis with highest expression found in the developing lens and retina.
