| Type: | Family | Name: | Uncharacterised conserved protein UCP005648, calcium-binding |
| Description: | The structure of the Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicumprotein encoded by MTH1880 demonstrates the typical alpha + beta fold found in many proteins with different functions []. The molecular surface of the protein reveals a small, highly acidic pocket. MTH1880 protein contains a novel motif for calcium-specific binding, but does not show a calcium-induced conformational change typical of calcium sensor proteins. It may function as a calcium buffering protein []. | Short Name: | UCP005648_Ca-bd |
