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: EAD1 (CL0699)

Summary

EAD1-like clan Add an annotation

Effector-associated domains (EADs) are predicted to function as adaptor domains mediating protein-protein interactions. The EADs show a characteristic architectural pattern. One copy is always fused, typically to the N- or C-terminus, of a core component of a biological conflict system; examples include VMAP, iSTAND, or GAP1. Further copies of the same EAD are fused to either effector or signal-transducing domains, or additional EADs. EAD pairs are frequently observed together on the genome in conserved gene neighborhoods, but can also be severed from such neighborhoods and located in distant regions, indicating the EAD-EAD coupling approximates the advantages of collinear transcription. This superfamily includes several families that are related to the EAD1 family.

This clan contains 6 families and the total number of domains in the clan is 873. The clan was built by L Aravind and LM Iyer.
