Title: Photoexcited CRY2 interacts with CIB1 to regulate transcription and floral initiation in Arabidopsis.
Volume: 322
Issue: 5907
Pages: 1535-9
Protein Domain
Type: Family
Description: The cryptochrome and photolyase families consist of structurally related flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) proteins that use the absorption of blue light to accomplish different tasks. The photolyasess use the blue light for light-driven electron transfer to repair UV-damaged DNA, while the cryptochromes are blue-light photoreceptors involved in the circadian clock for plants and animals [, ].Members of this subfamily are from plants; they appear mostly to be regulatory proteins that respond to blue light. For instance, Arabidopsis cryptochromes Cry1 and Cry2 antagonistically regulate primary root elongation [, ]. Cry2 is also reported to interact with CIB1 and regulate transcription and floral initiation [].

Description: This entry represents the DNA damage-binding protein 1 (DDB1) family, whose members are involved in DNA repair.The fission yeast members in this family includes Rik1 and Ddb1. Rik1 is a component of the Rik1-associated E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that shows ubiquitin ligase activity and is required for histone H3K9 methylation []. Ddb1 is a component of cullin 4A ubiquitin ligases, which regulates the selective proteolysis of key proteins in DNA repair, replication and transcription [, ].Mammalian Ddb1 is apart of the CUL4-DDB1 ubiquitin E3 ligase that regulates cell-cycle progression, replication and DNA damage response. The CUL4-DDB1 ubiquitin E3 ligase interacts with multiple WD40-repeat proteins and regulates histone methylation []. This complex also regulates the circadian clock function by mediating the ubiquitination and degradation of CRY1 [].The plant Ddb1 is part of the CUL4-DDB1-DDB2 E3 ligase involved in maintaining genome integrity upon UV stress [].

Title: SPAs promote thermomorphogenesis by regulating the phyB-PIF4 module in Arabidopsis.
Volume: 147
Issue: 19
Protein Domain
Type: Family
Description: In Arabidopsis, SPA1/2/3/4 play a central role in suppression of photomorphogenesis. SPA1 and SPA2 predominate in dark-grown seedlings, whereas SPA3 and SPA4 prevalently regulate the elongation growth in adult plants []. SPAs contain a kinase-like domain, a coiled-coil domain and the WD-repeats. SPAs and COP1 (a ring finger E3 ubiquitin ligase) can form homo- and heterodimers via their respective coiled-coil domains, and the COP1/SPA complex forms a tetramer of two COP1 and two SPA proteins []. The SPA proteins can self-associate or interact with each other, forming a heterogeneous group of SPA-COP1 complexes []. Besides recognizing substrates, both COP1 and SPA bind DDB1 in the CUL4 complex through their C-terminal WD-repeat domains. They serve as DDB1-CUL4-associated factors (DCAFs) similar to other substrate adaptors in CUL4-based E3 ligases. SPA1 interacts with photoreceptor cry2 via its kinase-like domain, with cry1 via its WD-repeat domain and with phytochromes possibly via both []. SPAs have also been shown to regulate the phyB-PIF4 module at high ambient temperature [].
Protein Domain
Type: Family
Description: This is a family of eukaryotic proteins found in animals, plants, and yeasts that includes Atg7p (YHR171W) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Baker's yeast) and ATG7 from Pichia angusta. Members are about 650 to 700 residues in length and include a central domain of about 150 residues shared with the ThiF/MoeB/HesA family of proteins. A low level of similarity toubiquitin-activating enzyme E1 is described in a paper on peroxisome autophagy mediated by ATG7 [], and is the basis of the name ubiquitin activating enzyme E1-like protein. Members of the family are involved in protein lipidation events analogous to ubiquitination and required for membrane fusion events during autophagy.This protein is important for several processes. It plays a key role in the maintenance of axonal homeostasis, the prevention of axonal degeneration [], the maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells [], the formation of Paneth cell granules [[cite22291845]], as well as in adipose differentiation []. It is involved in circadian clock regulation in the liver and glucose metabolism through the autophagic degradation of CRY1 (clock repressor) in a time-dependent manner [].

Description: This M1 peptidase family includes eukaryotic and bacterial members: aminopeptidase N (APN; MEROPS identifier M01.001), aminopeptidase Q (APQ, laeverin; MEROPS identifier M01.026) [, ], endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1; MEROPS identifier M01.018) []as well as tricorn interacting factor F3 (MEROPS identifier M01.021).Aminopeptidase N (APN; CD13; Alanyl aminopeptidase; ), a type II integral membrane protease, consists of a small N-terminal cytoplasmic domain, a single transmembrane domain, and a large extracellular ectodomain that contains the active site. It preferentially cleaves neutral amino acids from the N terminus of oligopeptides and is present in a variety of human tissues and cell types (leukocyte, fibroblast, endothelial and epithelial cells). APN expression is dysregulated in inflammatory diseases such as chronic pain, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, systemic sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, polymyositis/dermatomyosytis and pulmonary sarcoidosis, and is enhanced in tumor cells such as melanoma, renal, prostate, pancreas, colon, gastric and thyroid cancers. It is considered a marker of differentiation since it is predominantly expressed on stem cells and on cells of the granulocytic and monocytic lineages at distinct stages of differentiation. Thus, APN inhibition may lead to the development of anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory drugs [, ].ERAP1 also known as endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase associated with antigen processing (ERAAP), adipocyte derived leucine aminopeptidase (A-LAP) or aminopeptidase regulating tumor necrosis factor receptor I (THFRI) shedding (ARTS-1), associates with the closely related ER aminopeptidase ERAP2 (MEROPS identifier M01.024), for the final trimming of peptides within the ER for presentation by MHC class I molecules. ERAP1 is associated with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), an inflammatory arthritis that predominantly affects the spine. ERAP1 also aids in the shedding of membrane-bound cytokine receptors [].The tricorn interacting factor F3, together with factors F1 and F2, degrades the tricorn protease products, producing free amino acids, thus completing the proteasomal degradation pathway. F3 is homologous to F2, but not F1, and shows a strong preference for glutamate in the P1' position [].APQ, also known as laeverin, is specifically expressed in human embryo-derived extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs) that invade the uterus during early placentation []. It cleaves the N-terminal amino acid of various peptides such as angiotensin III, endokinin C, and kisspeptin-10, all expressed in the placenta in large quantities.APN is a receptor for coronaviruses, although the virus receptor interaction site seems to be distinct from the enzymatic site and aminopeptidase activity is not necessary for viral infection []. Insect APNs (MEROPS identifiers M01.013 and M01.030) are also putative Cry toxin receptors. Cry1 proteins are pore-forming toxins that bind to the midgut epithelial cell membrane of susceptible insect larvae, causing extensive damage. Several different toxins, including Cry1Aa, Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac, Cry1Ba, Cry1Ca and Cry1Fa, have been shown to bind to APNs; however, a direct role of APN in cytotoxicity has been yet to be firmly established [].
