Protein Family Models

This domain is found in bacteria. This domain is typically between 65 to 81 amino acids in length. This domain is found associated with Pfam:PF01145. This domain is the N terminal of the bacterial membrane protein HflK. HflK complexes with HflC to form a membrane protease which is modulated by the GTPase HflX. The N terminal domain of HflK is the membrane spanning region which anchors the protein in the bacterial membrane. [1]. 8248183. The Escherichia coli hflA locus encodes a putative GTP-binding. protein and two membrane proteins, one of which contains a. protease-like domain..

This family has been called SPFH [1], Band 7 or PHB domain. Recent phylogenetic analysis has shown this domain to be a slipin or Stomatin-like integral membrane domain conserved from protozoa to mammals. [1]. 10542406.

HflK and HflC are paralogs encoded by tandem genes in Proteobacteria, spirochetes, and some other bacterial lineages. The HflKC complex is anchored in the membrane and exposed to the periplasm. The complex is not active as a protease, but rather binds to and appears to modulate the ATP-dependent protease FtsH. The overall function of HflKC is not fully described.//Regulation of FtsH by HflKC appears to be negative (PMID:8947034,PMID:96367) [SS 8/27/03]
