The following uncharacterized proteins have been shown [1] to be evolutionary related and to contain a tsaA-like domain:
These are proteins of from 120 to 240 amino-acid residues (with the exception of AF0433 which is 366 residues long). Although found predominantly in prokaryotes the tsaA-like domain is also found in plants, Drosophila and mammals (human, rat, mouse and others):
The structure of the tsaA-like domain contains a six-stranded anti-parallel β-barrel (see <PDB:2NV4>). The tsaA-like domain may bind S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) and possesses a methyltransferase activity [2].
As a signature pattern we selected a conserved region in the central part of the domain. We also developed a profile that covers the entire tsaA-like domain.
Last update:February 2013 / Text revised; profile added.
