Protein Family Models

The KH-like domain at the C-terminus of the EngA subfamily of essential bacterial GTPases has a unique domain structure position. The two adjacent GTPase domains (GD1 and GD2), two domains of family MMR_HSR1, Pfam:PF01926, pack at either side of the C-terminal domain. This C-terminal domain resembles a KH domain but is missing the distinctive RNA recognition elements. Conserved motifs of the nucleotide binding site of GD1 are integral parts of the GD1-KH domain interface, suggesting the interactions between these two domains are directly influenced by the GTP/GDP cycling of the protein. In contrast, the GD2-KH domain interface is distal to the GDP binding site of GD2. This family has not been added to the KH clan since SCOP classifies it separately due to its missing the key KH motif/fold. [1]. 12467572.

Escherichia coli has an iron(II) transport system (feo) which may make an important contribution to the iron supply of the cell under anaerobic conditions [1]. FeoB has been identified as part of this transport system. FeoB is a large 700-800 amino acid integral membrane protein. The N terminus contains a P-loop motif suggesting that iron transport may be ATP dependent [1]. [1]. 8407793. Characterization of the ferrous iron uptake system of Escherichia coli.

This HMM identifies the P-loop-containing domain of large numbers of GTPases with ribosome-associated functions, including many involved in ribosome maturation (Der, Era, etc), ribosome rescue (HflX), and protein translation (InfB, Tuf, PrfC).

This domain contains a P-loop motif, also found in several other families such as Pfam:PF00071, Pfam:PF00025 and Pfam:PF00063. Elongation factor Tu consists of three structural domains, this plus two C-terminal beta barrel domains. Cryoelectron microscopy structure. [1]. 9311785.

EngA (YfgK, Der) is a ribosome-associated essential GTPase with a duplication of its GTP-binding domain. It is broadly to universally distributed among bacteria. It appears to function in ribosome biogenesis or stability.

Proteins with a small GTP-binding domain recognized by this model include Ras, RhoA, Rab11, translation elongation factor G, translation initiation factor IF-2, tetratcycline resistance protein TetM, CDC42, Era, ADP-ribosylation factors, tdhF, and many others. In some proteins the domain occurs more than once. This model recognizes a large number of small GTP-binding proteins and related domains in larger proteins. Note that the alpha chains of heterotrimeric G proteins are larger proteins in which the NKXD motif is separated from the GxxxxGK[ST] motif (P-loop) by a long insert and are not easily detected by this model.

This family consists of cytidylate kinase, which catalyzes the phosphorylation of cytidine 5-monophosphate (dCMP) to cytidine 5 -diphosphate (dCDP) in the presence of ATP or GTP. UMP and dCMP can also act as acceptors.
