Summary
Major outer membrane lipoprotein zipper superfamily
This is a superfamily of short outer membrane lipoporteins that are coiled-coils of alpha-helices. The families included are both leucine and alanine zippers. A zipper motif is a heptad or seven-residue repeat, represented by X..X...X..X...X..X...X..X...X..X, etc, where the X is hydrophobic residue, usually a leucine or alanine, and the intermediate residues are largely polar or hydrophilic; that is, the responsible residues occur at positions 1 and 4 in the heptad. Monomers combine together into dimers and higher order structures. Coiled-coil motifs are ubiquitous mediators of specific protein-protein interactions, in this case outer membrane 'tubes', by forming interlocking hydrophobic seams between the alpha-helical chains [1].
This clan contains 3 families and the total number of domains in the clan is 701. The clan was built by P Coggill.

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.
