Protein Family Models

This short presumed domain contains three conserved aspartate residues, hence the name 3D. It has been shown to be part of the catalytic double psi beta barrel domain of MltA [1]. [1]. 16139297.

This domain is composed of three alpha helices [1]. This domain is found at the N or C terminus of a variety of enzymes involved in bacterial cell wall degradation [2]. This domain may have a general peptidoglycan binding function. This family is found N-terminal to the catalytic domain of matrixins [3]. The domain is found to bind peptidoglycan experimentally [4]. This paper gives the crystal structure for this domain. However no function is given for this domain. [1]. 7121588.
