SIS (Sugar ISomerase) domains are found in many phosphosugar isomerases and phosphosugar binding proteins. SIS domains are also found in proteins that regulate the expression of genes involved in synthesis of phosphosugars. Presumably the SIS domains bind to the end-product of the pathway.
C-terminal lid domain of glucokinase regulatory protein
This domain is found at the C terminus of Glucokinase regulatory protein (GKRP) from animals and N-acetylmuramic acid 6-phosphate etherase (MurQ) from bacteria. GKRP binds Glucokinase (GK) mainly through hydrophobic interactions, functioning as an al ...
This domain is found at the C terminus of Glucokinase regulatory protein (GKRP) from animals and N-acetylmuramic acid 6-phosphate etherase (MurQ) from bacteria. GKRP binds Glucokinase (GK) mainly through hydrophobic interactions, functioning as an allosteric switch in blood glucose control by the liver [1]. GKRP is trilobal in shape, consisting of two topologically identical sugar isomerase (SIS) domains (Pfam:PF01380 and Pfam:PF13580) capped by an alpha helical C-terminal domain (this entry). The Lid domain consists of a bundle of seven alpha helices with a core that shows a UBA-like fold [2]. MurQ, which also shows a SIS domain, plays a key role in the peptidoglycane recycling pathway. Its crystal structure shows each monomer have an alpha-beta-alpha sandwich fold commonly found in regulatory proteins controlling the expression of genes involved in the synthesis of phosphosugars. The C-terminal domain of this protein (this entry) is comprised of five alpha helices [4].
