Protein Family Models

This domain occurs as an additional C-terminal iron-sulfur cluster binding domain in many radical SAM domain, Pfam:PF04055 proteins. The domain occurs in a number of proteins that modify a protein to become an active enzyme, or a peptide to become a ribosomal natural product. The domain is named SPASM because it occurs in the maturases of Subilitosin, PQQ, Anaerobic Sulfatases, and Mycofactocin. [1]. 21478363. Biological systems discovery in silico: radical.

radical SAM protein containing an additional [4Fe-4S]-binding SPASM domain; radical SAM protein generates radicals by combining a 4Fe-4S cluster and S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) in close proximity; contains a conserved CxxxCxxC motif, which coordinates the conserved iron-sulfur cluster; transfers a single electron from the iron-sulfur cluster to SAM leads to its reductive cleavage to methionine and a 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical
