This domain is found at the N-terminal end of the histidine kinase SMU_1516 from Streptococcus mutans (CovS) and similar proteins mainly found in bacilli. CovS plays a role in the regulation of acid production and tolerance conducive to dental caries, including proton expulsion. This protein has one transmembrane domain before a HAMP signal transducer domain (this entry), a PAS sensor domain (Pfam:PF00989), a DHp domain (Pfam:PF00512) and a CA domain (Pfam:PF02518). This domain shows two alpha- helices that form a parallel four-helical coiled-coil when the protein dimerises [6].
The PAS fold corresponds to the structural domain that has previously been defined as PAS and PAC motifs [4]. The PAS fold appears in archaea, eubacteria and eukarya. This domain can bind gases (O2, CO and NO), FAD, 4-hydroxycinnamic acid and NAD+ [5 ...
