Protein Domain : HEAT, type 2 IPR021133

Type  Repeat
Description  The HEAT repeat is a tandemly repeated, 37-47 amino acid long module occurring in a number of cytoplasmic proteins, including the four name-giving proteins huntingtin, elongation factor 3 (EF3), the 65 kDa alpha regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) and the yeast PI3-kinase TOR1 [ ]. Arrays of HEAT repeats consists of 3 to 36 units forming a rod-like helical structure and appear to function as protein-protein interaction surfaces. It has been noted that many HEAT repeat-containing proteins are involved in intracellular transport processes.In the crystal structure of PP2A PR65/A [ ], the HEAT repeats consist of pairs of antiparallel α-helices [].
