Type: | Domain | Name: | FMP27, GFWDK domain |
Description: | This domain is found in fungi, metazoans and plants that contains a characteristic GFWDK sequence motif. These include FMP27 and maize protein APT1 and Arabidopsis homologues SABRE and KIP.The function of the FMP27 protein is not known. FMP27 is the product of a nuclear encoded gene but it is detected in highly purified mitochondria in high-throughput studies []. APT1 is required for pollen tube growth. It is a Golgi-localised protein and appears to regulate vesicular trafficking []. SABRE and KIP are APT1 homologues and they are involved in the elongation of root cortex cells and pollen tubes respectively. | Short Name: | FMP27_GFWDK_dom |
