Protein Family Models

This family is found primarily in bacterial surface antigens, normally as variable number repeats at the N-terminus. The C-terminus of these proteins is normally represented by Pfam:PF01103. The alignment centres on a -GY- or -GF- motif. Some members of this family are found in the mitochondria. It is predicted to have a mixed alpha/beta secondary structure. (from Pfam)

This family consists of various patatin glycoproteins from plants. The patatin protein accounts for up to 40% of the total soluble protein in potato tubers [2]. Patatin is a storage protein but it also has the enzymatic activity of lipid acyl hydrolase, catalysing the cleavage of fatty acids from membrane lipids [2]. Members of this family have been found also in vertebrates. [1]. 7808402. Solanum brevidens possesses a non-sucrose-inducible patatin gene. Banfalvi Z, Kostyal Z, Barta E;.

The Omp85 protein superfamily contains bacterial outer membrane proteins, which can function as protein translocases or as membrane protein assembly factors [1]. The family includes the membrane bound beta barrel of proteins such as BamA and TamA from E. coli. [1]. 25101071.
