forkhead associated (FHA) domain found in the centrosomal protein of 170 kDa protein (Cep170) family
The Cep170 family includes Cep170 and Cep170B. Cep170, also called Cep170A, KARP-1-binding protein, or KARP1-binding protein, is a protein that localizes to centrosomes as well as spindle microtubules and plays a role in microtubule organization and microtubule assembly. It is required for centriole subdistal appendage assembly. Cep170 is phosphorylated during M phase and interacts with Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1). Cep170B, also called centrosomal protein 170B, plays a role in microtubule organization. The FHA domain is a small phosphopeptide recognition module.
Feature 1:putative phosphopeptide binding site [polypeptide binding site]
Evidence:
Comment:based on structures of other FHA domains with bound phosphopeptide
Comment:GR at the C terminus of strand beta3, SRxH just preceding beta5, and motif SxNG in the beta6-beta7 turn indicate a canonical mode of pThr recognition.
Comment:Conserved residues are involved in binding directly to the ligand backbone and phosphate group. Non-conserved residues may determine binding specificity.
