Type: | Family | Name: | Putative radical SAM enzyme, CHP03279 family |
Description: | Members of this protein family are predicted FeS-containing oxidoreductases of unknown function, apparently restricted to and universal across the Cyanobacteria. The high trusted cut-off score for this model, 700 bits, excludes homologues from other lineages. This exclusion seems justified because a significant number of sequence positions are simultaneously unique to and invariant across the Cyanobacteria, suggesting a specialised, conserved function, perhaps related to photosynthesis. A distantly related protein family, , in universal in and restricted to archaeal methanogens, and may be linked to methanogenesis. | Short Name: | CHP03279_fam |
