This domain is found in Methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein McpB from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and similar sequences from proteobacteria. McpB, also known as Aerotaxis transducer Aer2, is a chemoreceptor that plays a critical role in the virulence and pathogenesis of the bacteria. This entry represents the second HAMP domain, which folds into a unique four-helix bundle that comparatively differs from the first and third HAMP domains of the same protein [1,2].
Aer2 soluble receptor from Pseudomonas aeruginosa contains three successive HAMP domains in the N-terminal region. HAMP domains are widespread prokaryotic signaling modules. This entry is the third N-terminal HAMP domain (HAMP3). HAMP3 adopt a confor ...
Aer2 soluble receptor from Pseudomonas aeruginosa contains three successive HAMP domains in the N-terminal region. HAMP domains are widespread prokaryotic signaling modules. This entry is the third N-terminal HAMP domain (HAMP3). HAMP3 adopt a conformation resembling Af1503, with only minor differences in helical tilt and orientation [1]. The basic construction of each HAMP domain consists of a monomeric unit of two parallel alpha helices (AS1 and AS2) joined by an elongated connector of 12-14 residues form a parallel four-helix bundle [2].
