Summary
WW domain
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 Alzheimerâs, Huntingtonâs, muscular dystrophy, and cancer. In particular, loss-of-function mutations that disrupt WW domainâligand 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.
