- * Stress-induced proteins SRP1/TIP1 family signature *
- ******************************************************
-
- It has been recently shown [1] that three yeast proteins, two of which are
- known to be induced by various stress conditions, are structurally related and
- are probably part of a larger family. These proteins are listed below.
-
- - Serine-rich protein 1 (SRP1). SRP1 is induced by glucose [2].
- - Temperature-shock inducible protein 1 (TIP1). TIP1 can be induced by both
- cold and heat shocks [3].
- - Cold-shock inducible protein TIR2 [4].
- - YCR104w; a hypothetical 13.2 Kd protein on yeast chromosome III.
- - YKL224c; a hypothetical 13.0 Kd protein on yeast chromosome XI.
- - SYGP-orf12. A hypothetical 12.8 Kd protein in AFG1-CYC7 intergenic region.
-
- These proteins all seem to start with a putative signal sequence followed by a
- conserved domain of about 90 residues. In SRP1, TIP1 and TIR2 this domain is
- followed by a repetitive serine and alanine rich region absent in YCR104w,
- YKL224c and in SYGP-orf12.
-
- As a signature pattern for this protein family, we selected a region at the C-
- terminus of the conserved domain.
-
- -Consensus pattern: P-W-Y-[ST](2)-R-L
- -Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL.
- -Other sequence(s) detected in SWISS-PROT: NONE.
