Protein Family Models

LenC (Leptospira endostatin-like outer membrane C), a surface protein and apparent lipoprotein, is most closely related to the LenF family, which is about 60 percent identical. The approximately 450 amino acid length of this protein contains two tandem copies of a 200 region containing the DUF1554 domain (see PF07588).

This HMM, with a length of 30, describes two tandem 15-amino acid repeats. Numbers of repeats in proteins vary. Notable surface-exposed proteins with this repeat domain include lipoproteins LA_2272 and LA_2273 from Leptospira interrogans and VC2662 from Vibrio cholerae.

Tandem lipoproteins from LA_2272 and LA_2273 Leptospira interrogans serovar Lai str. 56601 share both an N-terminal unique domain, modeled by this HMM. Those lipoproteins also have a novel family 15 amino-acid repeats that is now modeled by NF047436. These 15 amino-acid repeats are found much more broadly, including in VC2662 from Vibrio cholerae.

This HMM described a 65-amino acid conserved N-terminal region largely restricted to the genus Leptospira, and shared by seven otherwise mostly unrelated proteins in the model strain Leptospira interrogans serovar Lai str. 56601 (LA_0442, LA_0875, LA_1192, LA_1904, LA_2672, LA_3334, and LA_3681). A signal-anchor-like region is followed by the most strongly conserved motif in the domain, [LVI][LVI][LF]KXG.

AuxB, an apparent membrane protein found in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), contributes to lipoteichoic acid (LTA) stability and therefore to a beta-lactam resistance phenotype that depends primarily on the cell wall biosynthesis enzyme PBP2a encoded by mecA.

This roughly 80-amino acid domain belongs to the clan of ATP-binding domains with the Walker A motif (P-loop). It starts and ends with well-conserved alpha-helical regions, interrupted by a region of beta-strands that are prone to insertions of additional sequence. In a large fraction of members, the critical lysine (K) of the P-loop motif GxxGxGK[ST] is replaced by phenylalanine (F), making the function of the motif in those family members unclear. This domain tends to occur as a N-terminal domain of proteins that average over 1000 amino acids in length, such as the human protein sacsin.
