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: BECR (CL0688)

Summary

Barnase-EndoU-ColicinE5/D-RelE like nuclease Add an annotation

This clan includes RNase of the barnase/EndoU/colicin E5/D-RelE (BECR)-like fold. The BECR fold of metal-independent endoRNases are commonly observed and extensively diversified effectors across diverse prokaryotic conflict systems such as polymorphic toxin systems, plasmid-encoded bacteriocins, and TA systems. Although BECR fold proteins are often extensively elaborated with inserts or show structural modifications, they share a conserved core of an N-terminal helix followed by four or five strands. In addition to their presence in polyvalent proteins, solo versions of these BECR domains are also found in phages; we accordingly designate this clade the phage-BECR (PBECR) domains [1].

This clan contains 7 families and the total number of domains in the clan is 880. The clan was built by S El-Gebali.
