ATP binding domain 4 Functions

ATP Binding domain 4 proteins - shows little homology with human protein, and the % sequence ID = 36.8% - under the family of AAHN-like super family

My sequences:

putative n-type ATP pyrophosphatase from Pyrococcus furiosus, the Northeast Structural Genomics Target PfR23

- ATP pyrophosphatase (ATP PPase) is used to assist lysidine formation using a lysine-specific loop and tRNA recognition domain

- Lysidine is a lysine-combined modified cytidine, locating at antcodon wobble position (34) of bacterial tRNA

- Usually ATP-pyrophosphatatse has a domain of GMP synthetase, for adding adenine and help lysine attack on Carbon atom.

- NAD+ synthetase belongs to a member of the family of N-type ATP pyrophosphatase (ATP PPases)

- Some other members of N-type ATP pyrophosphatase include NAD+ synthetase, GMP synthetase, asparagine synthetase and argininosuccinate synthetase

- this family is characterised by strictly conserved fingerprint sequence Ser-Gly-Gly-X-Ser/ Thr-Ser/ Thr at P-loop (this is found by the comparison of 3-D structures of NAD+ synthetase and GMP synthetase

- Since they are in the same family, we can infer their structure similarities and propose the functions of our sequences. - Look for the ATP-binding sites on ref[11]
