Glycine data from LIS
Type | Domain |
Description | The CASH domain is shared by many carbohydrate-binding proteins and sugar hydrolases. The CASH domain is characterised by internal repetitions of glycines and hydrophobic residues that correspond to the repetitive units of a predicted or observed right-handed β-helix structure of the pectate lyase superfamily. The basic structural unit ofthis family consists of three β-strands that form a single turn of the β-helix. Each turn contains ~20 amino acids, and is normally repeated between 7 and 11 times to form the elongated helix structure. The repeats show a low degree of sequence identity when compared with each other. The region of homology withthe CASH domain corresponds to the core region of the β-helix, covering from the second to the sixth repeat [ ]. |
