Protein Family Models

The GAF domain is named after some of the proteins it is found in, including cGMP-specific phosphodiesterases, adenylyl cyclases and FhlA. It is also found in guanylyl cyclases and phytochromes [1,2]. The structure of a GAF domain shows that the domain shares a similar fold with the PAS domain [3]. This domain can bind O2, CO and NO (Matilla et.al., FEMS Microbiology Reviews, fuab043, 45, 2021, 1. https://doi.org/10.1093/femsre/fuab043). [1]. 9433123.

ANTAR (AmiR and NasR transcription antitermination regulators) is an RNA-binding domain found in bacterial transcription antitermination regulatory proteins. The majority of the domain consists of a coiled-coil. [1]. 11796212. ANTAR: an RNA-binding domain in transcription antitermination regulatory proteins. Shu CJ, Zhulin IB;.
