Protein Family Models

This domain is found in many signalling proteins in which it functions as a sensor domain. It recognises FMN, Zn(II), FAD and riboflavin (MAtilla et. al., FEMS Microbiology Reviews, fuab043, 45, 2021, 1. https://doi.org/10.1093/femsre/fuab043). (from Pfam)

The PAS fold corresponds to the structural domain that has previously been defined as PAS and PAC motifs [4]. The PAS fold appears in archaea, eubacteria and eukarya. This domain can bind gases (O2, CO and NO), FAD, 4-hydroxycinnamic acid and NAD+ (Matilla et.al., FEMS Microbiology Reviews, fuab043, 45, 2021, 1. https://doi.org/10.1093/femsre/fuab043).

cell wall metabolism sensor histidine kinase WalK functions as a sensor protein kinase which is autophosphorylated at a histidine residue and transfers its phosphate group to WalR, and is part of the two-component system WalK/WalR that regulates genes involved in autolysis, biofilm formation, and cell wall metabolism

This model describes WalK as found in Staphylococcus aureus (sp|Q2G2U4.1|WALK_STAA8). A shorter version, as found in Streptococcus pneumoniae, called WalK(Spn) or VicK, is not included. WalK is part of a two-component system and works with partner protein WalR.

The PAS domain was previously described. This sensory box, or S-box domain occupies the central portion of the PAS domain but is more widely distributed. It is often tandemly repeated. Known prosthetic groups bound in the S-box domain include heme in the oxygen sensor FixL, FAD in the redox potential sensor NifL, and a 4-hydroxycinnamyl chromophore in photoactive yellow protein. Proteins containing the domain often contain other regulatory domains such as response regulator or sensor histidine kinase domains. Other S-box proteins include phytochromes and the aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator.
