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. [1]. 9301332.

The STAS (after Sulphate Transporter and AntiSigma factor antagonist) domain is found in the C terminal region of Sulphate transporters and bacterial antisigma factor antagonists. It has been suggested that this domain may have a general NTP binding function [2]. [1]. 9560229.

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.
