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: Domain of Unknown Function (DUF1542)

Pfam includes annotations and additional family information from a range of different sources. These sources can be accessed via the tabs below.

This is the Wikipedia entry entitled "Domain of unknown function". More...

Domain of unknown function Edit Wikipedia article

A Domain of unknown function (DUF) is a protein domain that has no characterised function. These families have been collected together in the Pfam database using the prefix DUF followed by a number, with examples being DUF188 and DUF1000. There are now over 3,000 DUF families within the Pfam database representing over 20% of known families.

History

The DUF naming scheme was introduced by Chris Ponting, through the addition of DUF1 and DUF2 to the SMART database.[1] These two domains were found to be widely distributed in bacterial signaling proteins. Subsequently, the functions of these domains were identified and they have since been renamed as the GGDEF domain and EAL domain respectively.

Structure

Structural genomics programmes have attempted to understand the function of DUFs through structure determination. The structures of over 250 DUF families have been solved.[2]

Domain of Unknown Function (DUF1542) Provide feedback

This domain is found in several cell surface proteins, such as extracellular matrix-binding protein ebh [1]. Some members are involved in antibiotic resistance (e.g Q9RL69 and Q9LCJ9) [2] and/or cellular adhesion (e.g. Q931R6) [1]. In some proteins it is repeated more than fifteen times, being the most repeated domain in streptococci [3]. This is a predominantly alpha-helical domain that form a long, thin, fibre-like structure and it has been proposed to function as a stalk that helps the adhesive non-repeat region (NRR) of proteins protrude beyond the cell surface [4,5].

InterPro entry IPR011439

This domain is found in several cell surface proteins, such as extracellular matrix-binding protein ebh [ PUBMED:12438342 ]. Some members are involved in antibiotic resistance (e.g. SWISSPROT and SWISSPROT ) [ PUBMED:10332717 ] and/or cellular adhesion (e.g. SWISSPROT ) [ PUBMED:12438342 ]. In some proteins it is repeated more than fifteen times, being the most repeated domain in streptococci [ PUBMED:22921469 ]. This is a predominantly alpha-helical domain that form a long, thin, fibre-like structure and it has been proposed to function as a stalk that helps the adhesive non-repeat region (NRR) of proteins protrude beyond the cell surface [ PUBMED:33465168 , PUBMED:22977243 ].

Pfam Clan

This family is a member of clan B_GA (CL0598), which has the following description:

The clan contains the following 5 members:

B DUF1542 FIVAR GA GA-like

Alignments

We store a range of different sequence alignments for families. As well as the seed alignment from which the family is built, we provide the full alignment, generated by searching the sequence database (reference proteomes) using the family HMM. We also generate alignments using four representative proteomes (RP) sets and the UniProtKB sequence database. More...

View options

We make a range of alignments for each Pfam-A family. You can see a description of each above. You can view these alignments in various ways but please note that some types of alignment are never generated while others may not be available for all families, most commonly because the alignments are too large to handle.

HMM logos is one way of visualising profile HMMs. Logos provide a quick overview of the properties of an HMM in a graphical form. You can see a more detailed description of HMM logos and find out how you can interpret them here. More...

Trees

This page displays the phylogenetic tree for this family's seed alignment. We use FastTree to calculate neighbour join trees with a local bootstrap based on 100 resamples (shown next to the tree nodes). FastTree calculates approximately-maximum-likelihood phylogenetic trees from our seed alignment.

Note: You can also download the data file for the tree.
