| Type | Homologous_superfamily |
| Description | This superfamily represents the α-helical domain found in alkyl-hydroperoxide reductase AhpD [ ]. AhpD is a component of alkyl-hydroperoxide reductase participating in defense against ROS (reactive oxygen species) []. The C-terminal α-helical domain of the AhpD protein from Mycobacterium tuberculosis shares protein sequence and structural similarity with the N-terminal of Sesns from animals []. Sestrins (Sesns) are involved in ROS (reactive oxygen species) regulation []. A similar fold can also be found in other proteins such as 4-carboxymuconolactone decarboxylase (CMD) and some uncharacterised proteins [ ]. |
