Abstract All organisms require reduced folate cofactors for the synthesis of a variety of metabolites. Most microorganisms must synthesise folate de novo because they lack the active transport system of higher vertebrate cells which allows these organisms to use dietary folates. Enzymes involved in folate biosynthesis are therefore targets for a variety of antimicrobial agents such as trimethoprim or sulphonamides. 7,8-dihydro-6-hydroxymethylpterin-pyrophosphokinase (HPPK) catalyzes the attachment of pyrophosphate to 6-hydroxymethyl-7,8-dihydropterin to form 6-hydroxymethyl-7,8-dihydropteridine pyrophosphate. This is the first step in a three-step pathway leading to 7,8 dihydrofolate. Bacterial HPPK (gene folK or sulD) [PubMed1325970] is a protein of 160 to 270 amino acids. In the lower eukaryote Pneumocystis carinii, HPPK is the central domain of a multifunctional folate synthesis enzyme (gene fas) [PubMed1313386].

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 3 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 6-hydroxymethyl-7,8-dihydropterin pyrophosphokinase, HPPK 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 3 hidden Markov models representing the 6-hydroxymethyl-7,8-dihydropterin pyrophosphokinase, HPPK superfamily. Information on how the models are built, and plots showing hydrophobicity, match emmission probabilities and insertion/deletion probabilities can be inspected.
