Superfamily: Alkyl sulfatase, dimerisation domain

The SDS hydrolase SdsA1 secreted by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which enables the bacterium to use primary sulfates such as SDS as a sole carbon or sulfur source, is one of the best characterised alkyl sulfatases. The crystal structure of SdsA1 revealed three distinct domains: an N-terminal catalytic domain with a binuclear Zn2+ cluster which is a distinct member of the metallo-beta-lactamase fold family, a central dimerization domain that ensures resistance to high concentrations of SDS, and a C-terminal domain provides a hydrophobic groove, presumably to recruit long aliphatic substrates PMID:16684886,PMID:23061549.

Structural domains comprising this superfamily share the structure of the alpha helical dimerisation domain of alkyl sulfatases.
