- * FGGY family of carbohydrate kinases signatures *
- **************************************************
-
- It has been shown [1] that four different type of carbohydrate kinases seem to
- be evolutionary related. These enzymes are:
-
- - Fucokinase (EC 2.7.1.52).
- - Gluconokinase (EC 2.7.1.12).
- - Glycerokinase (EC 2.7.1.30).
- - Xylulokinase (EC 2.7.1.17).
-
- These enzymes are proteins of from 480 to 520 amino acid residues.
-
- As consensus patterns for this family of kinases we selected two conserved
- regions, one in the central section, the other in the C-terminal section.
-
- -Consensus pattern: [LIVMFYGST]-x-[PST]-x(2)-K-[LIVMFYW]-x-W-[LIVMF]-x-[DENR]-
- [ENH]
- -Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL.
- -Other sequence(s) detected in SWISS-PROT: 3.
-
- -Consensus pattern: G-[LIVM]-x(7)-[HEDQ]-[LIVMF]-x(2)-A-[TAV]-[LIVMFY]-[DE]-
- [SAG]
- -Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL.
- -Other sequence(s) detected in SWISS-PROT: bovine endozepine-related protein.
