Primary Identifier | IPR036703 | Type | Homologous_superfamily |
Short Name | MOB_kinase_act_sf |
description | The MOB kinase activator superfamily includes MOB1, an essential Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein, identified from a two-hybrid screen, that binds Mps1p, a protein kinase essential for spindle pole body duplication and mitotic checkpoint regulation. Conditional alleles of MOB1 cause a late nuclear division arrest at restrictive temperature []. This superfamily also includes the MOB-like protein phocein, an intracellular protein that interacts with striatin and may play a role in membrane trafficking []. Structurally, domains in this superfamily have a bromodomain-like fold, which consists of four helices arranged as a bundle with a minor mirror variant of up-and-down topology; they also contain a zinc-binding site. |
