PROSITE documentation PDOC51742PPC domain profile
Description
The Plants and Prokaryotes Conserved (PPC) domain contains a hydrophobic region in the C terminal, and in the case of plants, is often found in several proteins with the AT-hook motif. Proteins with PPC domains are found in Bacteria, Archaea and the plant kingdom [1,2].
The PPC domain has a single α-helix packed against an antiparallel β-sheet, which is formed by five β-strands (see <PDB:2DT4>) [2]:
Some proteins known to contain a PPC domain are listed below:
- Plant AT-hook motif nuclear localized protein 1 (AHL1), a matrix-attachment region (MAR) binding protein involved in positioning chromatin fibers in the nucleus by an AT-hook motif and PPC.
- Pyrococcus horikoshii putative uncharacterized protein PH0802.
- Cyanobacteria bifunctional protein GlmU.
The profile we developed covers the entire PPC domain.
