PROSITE documentation PDOC52031
GG-type lectin domain profile


Description

The GG domain, with two well-conserved glycine residues, is present in eukaryotic FAM3 superfamily (FAM3A, FAM3B, FAM3C and FAM3D), POMGnT1 (protein O-linked mannose β-1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase), TEM2 proteins as well as phage gp35 proteins. The presence of a GG domain in Bacteriophage gp35 hinge connector of long tail fiber might reflect the horizontal gene transfer from organisms [1,2]. The GG domain is a lectin with carbohydrate-binding activity [3,4].

The GG-type lectin domain exhibits a β-β-α three-layer architecture with two antiparallel β sheets and one layer of short helices (see <PDB:2YOP>. The core of the fold is mainly hydrophobic [2,3,4].

The profile we developed covers the entire GG-type lectin domain.
