Uncharacterized prokaryotic subgroup of the stomatin-like proteins (slipins) family; belonging to the SPFH (stomatin, prohibitin, flotillin, and HflK/C) superfamily
This model summarizes a subgroup of the stomatin-like protein family (SLPs or slipins) that is found in bacteria and archaebacteria. The conserved domain common to the SPFH superfamily has also been referred to as the Band 7 domain. Individual proteins of the SPFH superfamily may cluster to form membrane microdomains which may in turn recruit multiprotein complexes. Bacterial and archaebacterial SLPs remain uncharacterized. This subgroup contains PH1511 from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshi.
