Protein Domain : Sec7 domain IPR000904

Type  Domain
Description  Protein containing this domain are highly divergent in their overall sequence, however, they share a common region of roughly 200 amino acids known as the SEC7 domain [[cite27373159], ]. The 3D structure of the domain displays several α-helices []. It was found to be associated with other domains involved in guanine nucleotide exchange (e.g., CDC25, Dbl) in mammalian guanine-nucleotide-exchange factors [].SEC7 domain containing proteins are guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) specific for the ADP-rybosylation factors (ARF), a Ras-like GTPases which is important for vesicular protein trafficking. These proteins can be divided into five families, based on domain organisation and conservation of primary amino acid sequence: GBF/BIG, cytohesins,eFA6, BRAGs, and F-box [ ]. They are found in all eukaryotes, and are involved in membrane remodeling processes throughout the cell [].
