PROSITE documentation PDOC51549
DM13 domain profile


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.
