Protein Domain : Bacterial ice-nucleation, octamer repeat IPR000258

Type  Repeat
Description  Certain Gram-negative bacteria express proteins that enable them to promote nucleation of ice at relatively high temperatures (above -5C) [ , ]. These proteins are localised at the outer membrane surface and can cause frost damage to many plants. The primary structure of the proteins contains a highly repetitive domain that dominates the sequence. The domain comprises a number of 48-residue repeats, which themselves contain 3 blocks of 16 residues, the first 8 of which are identical. It is thought that the repetitive domain may be responsible for aligning water molecules in the seed crystal.[.........48.residues.repeated.domain..........] / / | | \ \AGYGSTxTagxxssli AGYGSTxTagxxsxlt AGYGSTxTaqxxsxlt [16.residues...][16.residues...] [16.residues...]
