SMF/DprA-LOG (SLOG)

Members of the SLOG superfamily were shown in bacteria and plants to cleave modified AMPs to release the base as cytokinins, which function as growth-stimulating hormones in plants. Known family members such as DprA is a member of the recombination-mediator protein family, dedicated to natural bacterial transformation [1]. This clan includes members such as the classical LOG family which generates cytokinin-like molecules, the Smf/DprA family which binds single-stranded (ss)DNA and interacts with RecA during transformation and recombination and the molybdenum cofactor-binding (MoCoBD) family. The SLOG domain adopts a three-layered alpha/beta sandwich Rossmannoid fold with a characteristic substrate-binding loop rich in glycine and small residues in the standard location between strand-1 and helix-1. It is suggested that the SLOG superfamily is likely to encompass dual functions, with certain versions serving as (oligo)nucleotide sensors and others as enzymes that operate on nucleotides [2].

This clan contains 13 families and the total number of domains in the clan is 33196. The clan was built by A Bateman and S El-Gebali.

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.
