pfam12783: Sec7-like_HUS (This model is not part of the current CDD release)
Mon2/Sec7/BIG1-like, HUS domain
The full-length Sec7 functions proximally in the secretory pathway as a protein binding scaffold for the coat protein complexes COPII-COPI. The COPII-COPI-protein switch is necessary for maturation of the vesicular-tubular cluster, VTC, intermediate compartments for Golgi compartment biogenesis. This N-terminal domain however does not appear to be binding either of the COP or the ARF. This is the HUS (homology upstream of Sec7) domain of Sec7 and related proteins such as protein Mon2 and BIG1-like proteins, which plays a regulatory role together with DCB domain (pfam16213).
