Protein Domain : DUF34/NIF3, animal IPR017222

Type	Family
Description	This entry represents DUF34/metal-binding proteins (also referred to as NIF3-like protein 1) from animals. They share protein sequence similarity with budding yeast NIF3, which interacts with the yeast transcriptional coactivator Ngg1p that is part of the ADA complex [ , ].This entry includes the DUF34/metal-binding protein/NIF3 proteins, which are widely distributed across superkingdoms. They were previously annotated as GTP cyclohydrolase 1 type 2 [ ] and, recently, through a comprehensive literature review and integrative bioinformatic analyses it was revealed that annotations for these members are misleading as they were based on a single set of in vitro results examining the NIF3 homologue of Helicobacter pylori []. Actually, they have varied phenotypes with the unifying functional role as metal-binding proteins [].
