Protein Domain : NBD94 domain

Primary Identifier  IPR031789 Type  Domain
Short Name  NBD94
description  This entry represents a domain found in one of the reticulocyte binding protein homologue family members or RH proteins expressed by the malaria parasite merozoite. RH proteins recognise erythrocytes and are important in virulence. This domain has been shown to exhibit selective binding to ATP and ADP. Binding of ATP or ADP induces nucleotide-dependent structural changes in the C-terminal hinge-region of NBD94 that directly impact on the ability of the RH to bind to the red blood cells [].
