Primary Identifier | IPR036274 | Type | Homologous_superfamily |
Short Name | HR1_rpt_sf |
description | HR1 was first described as a three times repeated homology region of the N-terminal non-catalytic part of protein kinase PRK1(PKN) []. The first two of these repeats were later shown to bind the small G protein rho [, ]known to activate PKN in its GTP-bound form. Similar rho-binding domains also occur in a number of other protein kinases and in the rho-binding proteins rhophilin and rhotekin. Recently, the structure of the N-terminal HR1 repeat complexed with RhoA has been determined by X-ray crystallography. This domain contains two long alpha helices forming a left-handed antiparallel coiled-coil fold termed the antiparallel coiled- coil (ACC) finger domain. The two long helices encompass the basic region and the leucine repeat region, which are identified as the Rho-binding region [, , ]. |
