Ras-associating (RA) domain found in Arf-GAP with Rho-GAP domain, ANK repeat and PH domain-containing proteins ARAP1, ARAP2, ARAP3, and similar proteins
ARAPs are phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3))-dependent Arf Rap-activated guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase)-activating proteins (GAPs). They contain multiple functional domains, including ArfGAP and RhoGAP domains, as well as a sterile alpha motif (Sam) domain, five PH domains, and a RA domain. The RA domain has the beta-grasp ubiquitin-like fold with low sequence similarity to ubiquitin (Ub); Ub is a protein modifier in eukaryotes that is involved in various cellular processes including transcriptional regulation, cell cycle control, and DNA repair in eukaryotes.
Feature 1: key conserved lysine K48, 1 residue position
Conserved feature residue pattern:[KR]
Evidence:
Comment:K48/R (Ub numbering) is one of 7 lysines involved in chain linkage in ubiquitin (K6, K11, K27, K29, K33, K48, or K63, Ub numbering), the other 6 lysines are not conserved in this subfamily; may have other functions
