VHS domain family, Tom1 subfamily; The VHS domain is an essential part of Tom1 (Target of myb1 - retroviral oncogene) protein. The VHS domain has a superhelical structure similar to the structure of the ARM repeats and is present at the very N-termini of proteins. It is a right-handed superhelix of eight alpha helices. The VHS domain has been found in a number of proteins, some of which have been implicated in intracellular trafficking and sorting. The VHS domain of the Tom1 protein is essential for the negative regulation of Interleukin-1 and Tumor Necrosis Factor-induced signaling pathways.
