Functional Families

Overview of the Structural Clusters (SC) and Functional Families within this CATH Superfamily. Clusters with a representative structure are represented by a filled circle.

Superfamily: PHR domain

This superfamily includes the PHR domain which was first found in Pam, Highwire and RPM-1 proteins, that it is named after. PHR proteins are conserved, large multi-domain E3 ubiquitin ligases with modular architecture. PHR proteins presynaptically control synaptic growth and axon guidance and postsynaptically regulate endocytosis of glutamate receptors. Dysfunction of neuronal ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation is implicated in various neurodegenerative diseases. PHR proteins are characterised by the presence of two PHR domains near the N-terminus, which are essential for proper localisation and function. The domain has a beta-sandwich fold composed of 11 anti-parallel beta-strands.

The C-terminal region of the protein BTBD1 includes the PHR domain and is known to interact with Topoisomerase I, an enzyme which relaxes DNA supercoils.
