Type: | Domain | Name: | PB1 domain |
Description: | The PB1 (Phox and Bem1) domain, comprising about 80 amino acid residues, is conserved among animals, fungi, amoebas, and plants. It functions as a proteinbinding module through PB1-mediated heterodimerization or homo-oligomerization [, , , ]. The PB1 domains adopt an ubiquitin-like beta-grasp fold, containing two alpha helices and a mixed five-stranded beta sheet. The beta-sheethas a convex surface, and alpha1 fits into the cavity formed by the sheet. PB1 domains may display an acidic surface (type I), a basic surface (tape II), orboth surfaces (type I/II) on opposite faces of the domain structure to allow for front-to-back orientation of multiple PB1 domains [, , , ]. | Short Name: | PB1_dom |
