Abstract

A beta barrel of circularly permuted topology is found in many transcription proteins, including initiation and elongation factors, and also some ribosomal proteins, although in these cases the fold is elaborated with additional structures. The beta barrel domain is represented by domain 2 of the elongation factors EF-Tu [PubMed10715211] and eEF1A [PubMed11106763], both of which function to recognize and transport aminoacyl-tRNA to the acceptor (A) site of the ribosome during the elongation process, and of EF-G [PubMed11054294], which functions in translocating the peptidyl tRNA from the A site to the peptidyl (P) site. This domain is also present in initiation factors, in domain 2 of eIF2 gamma subunit [PubMed11927566], and domains 2 and 4 of IF2/eIF5B [PubMed11114334], both of which function to transport the initiator methionyl-tRNA to the ribosome. This beta barrel domain may be involved in interactions with the switch 2 region to stabilise the relative orientations of the domains, which undergo functionally important conformational changes between GTP- and GDP-bound states.

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 23 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 Translation proteins 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 23 hidden Markov models representing the Translation proteins superfamily. Information on how the models are built, and plots showing hydrophobicity, match emmission probabilities and insertion/deletion probabilities can be inspected.
