Propeller
Tectonins I and II are two dominant proteins in the nuclei and nuclear matrix from plasmodia of Physarum polycephalum (Slime mold) and both proteins contain six tandem repeats that are each 33-37 amino acids in length. Homologous repeats are found in L-6, a bacterial lipopolysaccharide-binding lectin from horseshoe crab hemocytes. The repetitive sequences of the tectonins and L-6 are reminiscent of the WD repeats of the beta-subunit of G proteins, suggesting that they form beta-propeller domains. The tectonins may be lectins that function as part of a transmembrane signalling complex during phagocytosis. Tectonin beta-propeller repeat-containing protein 1 (TECPR1) has a critical function during autophagosome maturation and autophagosome-lysosome fusion.
