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: ANL (CL0378)

Summary

ANL superfamily Add an annotation

This superfamily consists of enzymes including luciferase, long chain fatty acid Co-A ligase, acetyl-CoA synthetase and various other closely-related synthetases as well as a plant auxin-responsive promoter family. The name ANL derives from from three of the subfamilies - Acyl-CoA synthetases, the NRPS adenylation domains, and the Luciferase enzymes [1]. Members of this superfamily catalyse the initial adenylation of a carboxylate to form an acyl-AMP intermediate, followed by a second partial reaction, most commonly the formation of a thioester [1].

This clan contains 4 families and the total number of domains in the clan is 232036. The clan was built by A Bateman.

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.
