Type: | Domain | Name: | Putative sugar-binding, N-terminal domain |
Description: | This conserved region is found in proteins of unknown function in a range of Proteobacteria as well as the Gram-positive Oceanobacillus iheyensis. Structural analysis of the whole protein indicates the N- and C-termini interacting to produce an interacting surface into which a threonate-ADPcomplex is bound, suggesting that a sugar binding site is on the N-terminal domain here, and a nucleotide binding site is in the C-terminal domain (manuscript in preparation). There is a critical motif, DDXTG, at approximately residues 22-25. | Short Name: | DUF1537 |
