PROSITE documentation PDOC51649 [for PROSITE entry PS51649]
NPH3 domain profile


Description

The NRL (for NPH3/RPT2-Like) family is formed by signaling molecules specific to higher plant. Several regions of sequence and predicted structural conservation define members of the NRL family, with three domains being most notable: an N-terminal BTB domain (see <PDOC50097>), a centrally located NPH3 domain, and a C-terminal coiled coil domain. The function of the NPH3 domain is not yet known [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8].

Some proteins known to contain a NPH3 domain are listed below:

  • Arabidopsis non-phototropic hypocotyl 3 (NPH3), may function as an adapter or scaffold protein in plants.
  • Arabidopsis root-phototropisme 2 (RPT2), a signal transducer involved in phototropic response and stomatal opening in association with phototropin 1 (phot1).
  • Oriza coleoptile phototropism 1 (CPT1), the rice ortholog of NPH3. It is required for phototropism of coleoptiles and lateral translocation of auxin.

The profile we developed covers the entire NPH3 domain.
