We are deeply saddened by the passing of Amos Bairoch (1957–2025), the creator of PROSITE. We wish to dedicate our latest paper, published shortly before his death, to him. He will always be a source of inspiration to us.
Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends, and to all those who had the privilege of working with him. Rest in peace, Amos. Your work will live on long after you are gone.

Description

The DM13 domain has been identified in animal proteins containing a DOMON domain (see <PDOC50836>) likely to function as cytochromes involved in as yet unidentified redox reactions potentially related to protein hydroxylation or oxidative cross-linking. However, it is also found in bacteria. The DM13 domain contains a nearly absolutely conserved cysteine, which can be potentially involved in a redox reaction either as a nacked thiol group or by binding a prosthetic group like heme [1].

The DM13 domain is predicted to have a β-strand-rich fold [1].

The profile we developed covers the entire DM13 domain.
