MI domain profile
Description
The MI (after MA-3 and eIF4G) domain is a protein-protein interaction module of ~130 amino acids [1,2,3]. It appears in several translation factors and is found in:
- One copy in plant and animal eIF4G 1 and 2 (DAP-5/NAT1/p97),
- Two copies in the animal programmed cell death protein 4 (PDCD4) or MA-3 that is induced during programmed cell death and inhibits neoplastic transformation,
- Four tandem-repeated copies in a group of uncharacterized plant proteins.
The MI domain consists of seven α-helices, which pack into a globular form (see <PDB:2IOL>). The packing arrangement consists of repeating pairs of antiparallel helices packed one upon the other such that a superhelical axis is generated perpendicular to the α-helical axes [4].
The profile we developed covers the entire MI domain.
Note:The MI domain has also been named MA3 domain.
