C-CAP/cofactor C-like domain profile


Description

The C-CAP/cofactor C-like domain is present in several cytoskeleton-related proteins, which also contain a number of additional domains [1,2,3,4]:

  • Eukaryotic cyclase-associated protein (CAP or SRV2) (see <PDOC00835>), a modular actin monomer binding that directly regulates filament dynamics and has been implicated in a number of complex developmental and morphological processes, including mRNA localization and the establishment of cell polarity.
  • Vertebrate retinitis pigmentosa 2 (XRP2). In human, the protein responsible for X-linked forms of retinitis pigmentosa, a disease characterized by severe retinal degeneration.
  • Eukaryotic tubulin-specific chaperone cofactor C (TBCC), a GTPase- activating component of the tubulin-folding supercomplex, which directs the assembly of the α- and β-tubulin heterodimer.

The cyclase-associated protein C-CAP/cofactor C-like domain binds G-actin and is responsible for oligomerization of the entire CAP molecule [1], whereas the XRP2 C-CAP/cofactor C-like domain is required for binding of ADP ribosylation factor-like protein 3 (Arl3) [2].

The central core of the C-CAP/cofactor C-like domain is composed of six coils of right-handed parallel β-helix, termed coils 1-6, which form an elliptical barrel with a tightly packed interior. Each β-helical coil is composed of three relatively short β-strands, designated a-c, separated by sharp turns. Flanking the central β-helical core is an N-terminal β-strand, β0, that packs antiparallel to the core, and strand β7 packs antiparallel to the core near the C-terminal end of the parallel β-helix (see <PDB:1K4Z>) [1,2].

The profile we developed covers the C-CAP/cofactor C-like domain.
