Protein Family Models

Members of this include YchJ from Escherichia coli K-12. Member proteins nearly always have an N-terminal SEC-C metal-binding motif, about 20 amino acids long (see PF02810), and some, including YchJ itself, have a C-terminal one as well. YchJ binds zinc primarily, but also binds small amounts of copper and iron. The function is not yet well understood.

Domains containing the SEC-C motif (SecA C-terminal motif) is found broadly in bacteria. In Escherichia coli K-12, for example, it occurs in YchJ (once at each end of the protein), YecA, and SecA. The motif typically is CXCX(8)CH or CXCX(8)CC, although the spacing may vary.
