Protein Family Models

The YjgF/YER057c/UK114 family, including a member protein that has been called endoribonuclease L-PSP (perchloric acid-soluble protein), is now called the RidA family, or more generally the Rid family, with subfamilies RidA and Rid1 through Rid7. YjgF from Salmonella enterica deaminates the toxic metabolite 2-amino acrylate and so was renamed RidA (reactive intermediate imine deaminase A). This HMM hits proteins that are members of multiple Rid subfamilies.

Members of this family, conserved in all domains of life and often with several members per bacterial genome, appear to catalyze a reaction that minimizes toxic by-products from reactions catalyzed by pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzymes. Some members of this family are designated RidA and are designated 2-iminobutanoate/2-iminopropanoate deaminase (EC 3.5.99.10). For other paralogs, specific activities are less clear. Historically, this protein has been called an inhibitor of protein synthesis initiation, then endoribonuclease L-PSP active on single-stranded mRNA, but citations to those reports are now removed from this HMM.
