Summary
POTRA domain superfamily
The polypeptide-transport-associated (POTRA) domain is predicted to be organised into three beta-strands and two alpha helices, the latter being found between strands 2 and 3. It is usually found associated with a beta-barrel outer membrane domain. It is thought to have a chaperone-like function; the proteins it is found in are involved in processes as diverse as bacterial septation and protein transport across membranes [1].
This clan contains 6 families and the total number of domains in the clan is 33814. The clan was built by M Fenech.

Structures
For those sequences which have a structure in the Protein DataBank, we use the mapping between UniProt, PDB and Pfam coordinate systems from the MSD group, to allow us to map Pfam domains onto UniProt three-dimensional structures. The table below shows the mapping between the Pfam families in this clan, the corresponding UniProt entries, and the region of the three-dimensional structures that are available for that sequence.
