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.

Summary

GIY-YIG endonuclease superfamily Add an annotation

Based on the analysis of genomic distribution, patterns of domain fusions and phylogenetic considerations for individual families, an evolutionary scenario is proposed that explains the emergence and development of the major branches of the GIY-YIG superfamily that links the Slx-type with the UvrC-like endonucleases. Most families appear to target DNA. The GIY-YIG domain has been quite successful in forming monomeric nucleases that utilise additional domains to recognise its DNA targets; this collection of domains can range from extremely simple DNA-binding elements (as in the case of I-TevI) to modules with independent enzymatic activities (as in the case of UvrC or the Penelope elements) [1].

This clan contains 7 families and the total number of domains in the clan is 24535. The clan was built by RD Finn and 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.
