This family is structurally different from the alpha/beta hydrolase family (Pfam:PF00561). This family includes L-2-haloacid dehalogenase, epoxide hydrolases and phosphatases. The structure of the family consists of two domains. One is an inserted four helix bundle, which is the least well conserved region of the alignment, between residues 16 and 96 of Swiss:P24069. The rest of the fold is composed of the core alpha/beta domain [1]. Those members with the characteristic DxD triad at the N-terminus are probably phosphatidylglycerolphosphate (PGP) phosphatases involved in cardiolipin biosynthesis in the mitochondria [2].

The P-type ATPases are a large family of trans-membrane transporters acting on charged substances. The distinguishing feature of the family is the formation of a phosphorylated intermediate (aspartyl-phosphate) during the course of the reaction. P-type ATPases typically consist of only a single subunit encompassing the ATPase and ion translocation pathway, but these functions are split in some systems. The catalytic core of a P-type ATPase is a haloacid dehalogenase(HAD)-type aspartate-nucleophile hydrolase. The location of the ATP-binding loop in between the first and second HAD conserved catalytic motifs defines these enzymes as members of subfamily I of the HAD superfamily (see also TIGR01493, TIGR01509, TIGR01549, TIGR01544 and TIGR01545). Based on these classifications, the P-type ATPase _superfamily_ corresponds to the IC subfamily of the HAD superfamily.

This HMM encompasses two equivalog models for the copper and cadmium-type heavy metal transporting P-type ATPases (TIGR01511 and TIGR01512) as well as those species which score ambiguously between both models. For more comments and references, see the files on TIGR01511 and 01512.

This model describes the P-type ATPase primarily responsible for translocating cadmium ions (and other closely-related divalent heavy metals such as cobalt, mercury, lead and zinc) across biological membranes. These transporters are found in prokaryotes and plants. Experimentally characterized members of the seed alignment include: SP|P37617 from E. coli, SP|Q10866 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and SP|Q59998 from Synechocystis PCC6803. The cadmium P-type ATPases have been characterized as Type IB based on a phylogenetic analysis which combines the copper-translocating ATPases with the cadmium-translocating species [1]. This HMM and that describing the copper-ATPases (TIGR01511) are well separated, and thus we further type the copper-ATPases as IB1 and the cadmium-ATPases as IB2. Several sequences which have not been characterized experimentally fall just below trusted cutoff for both of these models (SP|Q9CCL1 from Mycobacterium leprae, GP|13816263 from Sulfolobus solfataricus, OMNI|NTL01CJ01098 from Campylobacter jejuni, OMNI|NTL01HS01687 from Halobacterium sp., GP|6899169 from Ureaplasma urealyticum and OMNI|HP1503 from Helicobacter pylori).
