Analysis of phosphoinositide binding domain properties within the myotubularin-related protein MTMR3.
The myotubularins are a large family of phosphoinositide-specific phosphatases with substrate specificity for PtdIns3P and PtdIns(3,5)P(2). In addition to an N-terminal PH-GRAM (PH-G) domain and a signature catalytic domain shared with other family members, MTMR3 contains a C-terminal FYVE domain. We show that the FYVE domain of MTMR3 is atypical in that it neither confers endosomal localisatio...
متن کاملLRCH Proteins: A Novel Family of Cytoskeletal Regulators
BACKGROUND Comparative genomics has revealed an unexpected level of conservation for gene products across the evolution of animal species. However, the molecular function of only a few proteins has been investigated experimentally, and the role of many animal proteins still remains unknown. Here we report the characterization of a novel family of evolutionary conserved proteins, which display s...
متن کاملYou bet-cha: a novel family of transcriptional regulators.
The BET proteins are a novel class of transcriptional regulators whose members can be found in animals, plants and fungi. Founding members are Human RING3, Drosophila Fsh and yeast Bdf1p. BET proteins are distinguished by an N-terminal bromodomain or bromodomains and an ET domain. As predicted by the presence of the bromodomain(s), these proteins have been found to be associated with chromatin....
متن کاملThe TetR family of regulators.
The most common prokaryotic signal transduction mechanisms are the one-component systems in which a single polypeptide contains both a sensory domain and a DNA-binding domain. Among the >20 classes of one-component systems, the TetR family of regulators (TFRs) are widely associated with antibiotic resistance and the regulation of genes encoding small-molecule exporters. However, TFRs play a muc...
متن کاملThe phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase family.
Phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase was first observed in 1984 as a minor inositol lipid kinase activity associated with immunoprecipitated oncogene products (e.g. Src, Abl and polyoma mT antigen) and present in activated growth factor receptor complexes (e.g. PDGF receptor). In 1988, the enzyme associated with this activity was found to have the novel ability to phosphorylate the 3 position hydroxy...
