Primary Identifier | IPR039504 | Type | Domain |
Short Name | PLC-delta3_EF-hand |
description | This entry represents the EF-hand domain found in 1-phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate phosphodiesterase delta-3 (PLC-delta3).PLC-delta-3 is essential for trophoblast and placental development []. It locates at the cleavage furrow where it may participate in cytokinesis []. PI-PLC-delta3 contains a core set of domains, including an N-terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, four atypical EF-hand motifs, a PLC catalytic core, and a single C-terminal C2 domain. The PLC catalytic core domain is a TIM barrel with two highly conserved regions (X and Y) split by a highly degenerate linker sequence. In addition, PI-PLC-delta3 possesses a classical leucine-rich nuclear export sequence (NES) located in the EF hand motifs, which may be responsible transporting PI-PLC-delta3 from the cell nucleus []. |
