| Type: | Domain | Name: | Ethanolamine utilization protein-like domain |
| Description: | The crystal structure of ethanolamine utilization protein EutN contains a central five-stranded beta-barrel, with an alpha-helix at the open end of this barrel. The structure also contains three additional beta-strands, which helps the formation of a tight hexamer, with a hole in the centre []. The eut operon, which has been studied in Salmonella typhimurium [], encodes several proteins involved in ethanolamine utilization, which takes place inside the eut microcompartment.Carbon dioxide concentrating mechanism protein CcmL, a component of the carboxysome shell, has a similar three-dimensional fold to EutN []. The carboxysome is a bacterial microcompartment that functions as a simple organelle by sequestering enzymes involved in carbon fixation. CcmL structure is pentameric rather than hexameric. | Short Name: | EutN-like_dom |
