SIX1_SD is a family of eukaryotic proteins, and it is found N-terminal to the Homeobox domain. As a transcription factor it lacks intrinsic activation domains and thus needs to bind to the EYA family of co-factors in order to mediate transcriptional activation. It is the SD domain that is necessary for this protein-protein interaction, binding to the C-terminal region of EYA - Eyes absent homologue proteins [1].
This family is structurally different from the alpha/beta hydrolase family (Pfam:PF00561). This family includes L-2-haloacid dehalogenase, epoxide hydrolases and phosphatases. The structure of the family consists of two domains. One is an inserted fo ...
This family is structurally different from the alpha/beta hydrolase family (Pfam:PF00561). This family includes L-2-haloacid dehalogenase, epoxide hydrolases and phosphatases. The structure of the family consists of two domains. One is an inserted four helix bundle, which is the least well conserved region of the alignment, between residues 16 and 96 of Swiss:P24069. The rest of the fold is composed of the core alpha/beta domain [1]. Those members with the characteristic DxD triad at the N-terminus are probably phosphatidylglycerolphosphate (PGP) phosphatases involved in cardiolipin biosynthesis in the mitochondria [2].
