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

WW domain Add an annotation

The WW domain is composed of 38 to 40 semi-conserved amino acids. They are found in many human proteins and play integral roles in systems connected to the appearance of Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, muscular dystrophy, and cancer. In particular, loss-of-function mutations that disrupt WW domain–ligand interactions can lead to major complications. WW domains fold into a three-stranded beta sheet that binds polyproline motifs. They have been divided into four main classes, corresponding to the polyproline motif with which they interact: class 1 with PPxY motifs, class 2 with PPPL/R motifs, class 3 with (PxxGMxPP)*2 motifs, and class 4 with (pS/pT)P motifs (p=phosphorylation) [1].

This clan contains 2 families and the total number of domains in the clan is 59721. The clan was built by S El-Gebali.

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.
