pfam06920: DHR-2_Lobe_A (This model is not part of the current CDD release)
DHR-2, Lobe A
This entry represents a conserved region within a number of eukaryotic dedicator of cytokinesis proteins (DOCK), which are guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs), that activate some small GTPases by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP such as Rac. These proteins have a DOCK-homology region 1 (DHR-1, also known as DOCK-type C2 domain) at the N-terminus and a DHR-2 (also known as DOCKER domain) at the C-terminal. The DHR-2 is a GEF catalytic domain organised into three lobes, A, B and C, with the Rho-family binding site and catalytic centre generated entirely from lobes B and C. This entry represents Lobe A, formed from an antiparallel array of alpha helices that adopts a tetratricopeptide repeat-like fold, which through extensive contacts with lobe B, stabilises DHR-2 domain.
