Abstract

This domain is found in a number of functionally different proteins:

  • NusB a prokaryotic transcription factor involved in antitermination
  • TIM44, the mitochondrial inner membrane translocase subunit
  • RsmB, the 16S rRNA m5C967 methyltransferase

NusB is a prokaryotic transcription factor involved in antitermination processes, during which it interacts with the boxA portion of the mRNA nut site. Previous studies have shown that NusB exhibits an all-helical fold, and that the protein from Escherichia coli forms monomers, while Mycobacterium tuberculosis NusB is a dimer. The functional significance of NusB dimerization is unknown. An N-terminal arginine-rich sequence is the probable RNA binding site, exhibiting aromatic residues as potential stacking partners for the RNA bases. The RNA binding region is hidden in the subunit interface of dimeric NusB proteins, such as NusB from M. tuberculosis, suggesting that such dimers have to undergo a considerable conformational change or dissociate for engagement with RNA. In certain organisms, dimerization may be employed to package NusB in an inactive form until recruitment into antitermination complexes [PubMed9670024, PubMed15279620].

The antitermination proteins of Escherichia coli are recruited in the replication cycle of Bacteriophage lambda, where they play an important role in switching from the lysogenic to the lytic cycle.

Browse genome assignments for this superfamily. The SUPERFAMILY hidden Markov model library has been used to carry out SCOP domain assignments to all genomes at the superfamily level.


Alignments of sequences to 5 models in this superfamily are available by clicking on the 'Alignments' icon above. PDB sequences less than 40% identical are shown by default, but any other sequence(s) may be aligned. Select PDB sequences, genome sequences, or paste in or upload your own sequences.


Browse and view proteins in genomes which have different domain combinations including a NusB-like domain.


Examine the distribution of domain superfamilies, or families, across the major taxonomic kingdoms or genomes within a kingdom. This gives an immediate impression of how superfamilies, or families, are restricted to certain kingdoms of life.


Explore domain occurrence network where nodes represent genomes and edges are domain architectures (shared between genomes) containing the superfamily of interest.

There are 5 hidden Markov models representing the NusB-like superfamily. Information on how the models are built, and plots showing hydrophobicity, match emmission probabilities and insertion/deletion probabilities can be inspected.
