********************************
* AAA-protein family signature *
********************************
The following proteins have been found [1 to 4] to be evolutionary related:
- Yeast SEC18 protein and its mammalian homolog NSF (N-ethylmaleimide-
sensitive fusion protein). These proteins are involved in intracellular
transport between the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi, as well as between
different Golgi cisternae.
- Escherichia coli ftsH protein which may be involved in the localization
processes of some envelope proteins such as PBP3.
- Vertebrate protein p97 or VCP (valosin containing protein). The function of
p97 is not known but it shows ATPase activity and forms a ring-shaped
homooligomer composed of six subunits.
- Yeast cell cycle protein CDC48, which may have a role in spindle pole
proliferation. CDC48 is probably the yeast homolog of p97/VCP.
- Yeast protein BCS1, a mitochondrial protein essential for the expression of
the Rieske iron-sulfur protein [5].
- Yeast protein PAS1, essential for peroxisome assembly and the related
proteins PAS5 from Pichia pastoris and PAY4 from Yarrowia lipolytica.
- Yeast protein SUG1 (or CIM3 or TBY1).
- Yeast protein YTA3 (or CIM5).
- Yeast protein AFG1.
- Yeast protein AFG2.
- Yeast protein YME1, a protein important for maintaining the integrity of
the mitochondrial compartment.
- Mammalian protein TBP-1, which influences HIV gene expression by
interacting with the virus tat transactivator protein.
- Mammalian protein MSS1, which also has a role in the activation of HIV
genes regulated by tat.
- Mammalian 26S protease subunit 4 [6].
These proteins share a conserved region of about 200 amino acids that contains
an ATP-binding site. Two copies of this domain are found in some of these
proteins (CDC48, PAS1, PAS5, PAY4, SEC18, AFG2 and p97). It has been proposed
[4] to call this family AAA, for ATPases Associated with diverse cellular
Activities.
In addition to the ATP-binding 'A' and 'B' motifs, which are located in the
N-terminal half of this domain, there is a highly conserved region located in
the central part of the domain which we have used to develop a signature
pattern.
-Consensus pattern: [AGMF]-x-T-x-[RHF]-x-[DENS]-x-[LIVM]-D-x-A-[LIVM]-x-R-x-G-
R-[LIVMFY]-[DE]
-Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL, except
for AFG1.
-Other sequence(s) detected in SWISS-PROT: NONE.
-Note: this pattern will only detect the first domain of SEC18/NSF and the
second domain of PAS1/PAS5/PAY4. The other domain in these proteins is much
less conserved outside of the ATP-binding region.
-Last update: June 1994 / Pattern and text revised.
