DUF1857, an uncharacterized ligand-binding domain of the SRPBCC domain superfamily
Uncharacterized family of the SRPBCC (START/RHO_alpha_C/PITP/Bet_v1/CoxG/CalC) domain superfamily. SRPBCC domains have a deep hydrophobic ligand-binding pocket and they bind diverse ligands. SRPBCC domains include the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR)-related lipid transfer (START) domains of mammalian STARD1-STARD15, the C-terminal catalytic domains of the alpha oxygenase subunit of Rieske-type non-heme iron aromatic ring-hydroxylating oxygenases (RHOs_alpha_C), Class I and II phosphatidylinositol transfer proteins (PITPs), Bet v 1 (the major pollen allergen of white birch, Betula verrucosa), CoxG, CalC, and related proteins. Other members of the superfamily include PYR/PYL/RCAR plant proteins, the aromatase/cyclase (ARO/CYC) domains of proteins such as Streptomyces glaucescens tetracenomycin, and the SRPBCC domains of Streptococcus mutans Smu.440 and related proteins.
