The name of this superfamily has been modified since the most recent official CATH+ release (v4_3_0). At the point of the last release, this superfamily was named:

"
SAP domain

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 EC Annotations

Note: the EC figure is not being displayed for this superfamily as there are more than 100 different EC terms.

There are 4 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
DNA helicase. [EC: 3.6.4.12]
ATP + H(2)O = ADP + phosphate.
  • DNA helicases utilize the energy from ATP hydrolysis to unwind double-stranded DNA.
  • Some of them unwind duplex DNA with a 3' to 5' polarity (1,3,5,8), other show 5' to 3' polarity (10,11,12,13) or unwind DNA in both directions (14,15).
  • Some helicases unwind DNA as well as RNA (4,9).
  • May be identical with EC 3.6.4.13 (RNA helicase).

RING-type E3 ubiquitin transferase. [EC: 2.3.2.27]
S-ubiquitinyl-[E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme]-L-cysteine + [acceptor protein]-L-lysine = [E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme]-L-cysteine + N(6)- ubiquitinyl-[acceptor protein]-L-lysine.
  • RING E3 ubiquitin transferases serve as mediators bringing the ubiquitin-charged E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (EC 2.3.2.23) and an acceptor protein together to enable the direct transfer of ubiquitin through the formation of an isopeptide bond between the C-terminal glycine residue of ubiquitin and the epsilon-amino group of an L-lysine residue of the acceptor protein.
  • Unlike EC 2.3.2.26 the RING-E3 domain does not form a catalytic thioester intermediate with ubiquitin.
  • Many members of the RING-type E3 ubiquitin transferase family are not able to bind a substrate directly, and form a complex with a cullin scaffold protein and a substrate recognition module (the complexes are named CRL for Cullin-RING-Ligase).
  • In these complexes, the RING-type E3 ubiquitin transferase provides an additional function, mediating the transfer of a NEDD8 protein from a dedicated E2 carrier to the cullin protein (see EC 2.3.2.32).
  • Cf. EC 2.3.2.31.

NAD(+) ADP-ribosyltransferase. [EC: 2.4.2.30]
NAD(+) + (ADP-D-ribosyl)(n)-acceptor = nicotinamide + (ADP-D- ribosyl)(n+1)-acceptor.
  • The ADP-D-ribosyl group of NAD(+) is transferred to an acceptor carboxy group on a histone or the enzyme itself, and further ADP- ribosyl groups are transferred to the 2'-position of the terminal adenosine moiety, building up a polymer with an average chain length of 20-30 units.
4 O50017 Q11207 Q11207 Q5Z8Q9
DNA-(apurinic or apyrimidinic site) lyase. [EC: 4.2.99.18]
The C-O-P bond 3' to the apurinic or apyrimidinic site in DNA is broken by a beta-elimination reaction, leaving a 3'-terminal unsaturated sugar and a product with a terminal 5'-phosphate.
  • 'Nicking' of the phosphodiester bond is due to a lyase-type reaction, not hydrolysis.
  • This group of enzymes was previously listed as endonucleases, under the number EC 3.1.25.2.
