PROSITE documentation PDOC51087
ApaG domain profile


Description

The apaG domain is a ~125 amino acids domain present in bacterial apaG proteins and in eukaryotic F-box proteins. The domain is named after the bacterial apaG protein, of which it forms the core. The domain also occurs in the C-terminal part of eukaryotic proteins with an N-terminal F-box domain (see <PDOC50181>). The Salmonella typhimurium apaG domain protein corD is involved in Co(2+) resistance and Mg(2+) efflux. Tertiary structures from different apaG proteins show a fold of several β-sheets (see <PDB:1XVS>). The apaG domain may be involved in protein-protein interactions which could be implicated in substrate-specificity [1,2,3,4].

Some proteins known to contain an apaG domain:

  • Escherichia coli apaG, a protein that is well-conserved among diverse bacteria.
  • Salmonella typhimurium apaG/corD, involved in Co(2+) sensitivity and Mg(2+) homeostasis [1].
  • Mammalian FBA/F-box only protein 3, a substrate-recognition component of the SCF (SKP1-CUL1-F-box protein)-type E3 ubiquitin ligase complex [2].
  • Mammalian PDIP38/POLD2-interacting protein, which interacts with proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and the p50 subunit of DNA polymerase delta. It is conserved among metazoans [3].

The profile we developed covers the entire apaG domain.
