Powering down the Pfam website
On October 5th, we began redirecting traffic from Pfam (pfam.xfam.org) to InterPro (www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro). The Pfam website will remain available at pfam-legacy.xfam.org until January 2023, when it will be decommissioned. You can read more about the sunset period in our blog post.

Clan: CheC-like (CL0355)

Summary

CheC-like superfamily Add an annotation

The chemotactic response regulator superfamily are CheY-P phosphatases. Their structure is two intertwined alpha-beta-(X)-beta(2) motifs. This superfamily comprises two classes of proteins each shown to interact with the chemotaxis response regulator CheY: the FliM switch proteins and the CheC-type phosphatases [1]. FliM is a component of the flagellar switch found across the bacteria and is responsible for binding CheY-P and changing the rotational direction of the flagella. The N-terminal domain is CheC-like and the C-terminal shares the SpoA domain with FliN and FliY. The CheC family is broadly broken down into three phosphatase subfamilies: CheC, CheX, and FliY. All three have an active site consensus sequence of D/S-X(3)-E-X(2)-N-X(22)-P.

This clan contains 4 families and the total number of domains in the clan is 10123. The clan was built by A Bateman and TJ Tuff.

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.
