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.

Family: GalKase_gal_bdg (PF10509)

Summary: Galactokinase galactose-binding signature

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

The Pfam group coordinates the annotation of Pfam families in Wikipedia, but we have not yet assigned a Wikipedia article to this family. If you think that a particular Wikipedia article provides good annotation, please let us know.

This tab holds the annotation information that is stored in the Pfam database. As we move to using Wikipedia as our main source of annotation, the contents of this tab will be gradually replaced by the Wikipedia tab.

Galactokinase galactose-binding signature Provide feedback

This is the highly conserved galactokinase signature sequence which appears to be present in all galactokinases irrespective of how many other ATP binding sites, etc that they carry [1]. The function of this domain appears to be to bind galactose [2] and the domain is normally at the N-terminus of the enzymes, EC:2.7.1.6 [3]. This domain is associated with the families GHMP_kinases_C, PF08544 and GHMP_kinases_N, PF00288.

InterPro entry IPR019539

This entry represents an N-terminal conserved domain found in all galactokinases, irrespective of how many other ATP binding sites, etc that they carry [ PUBMED:10359639 ]. The function of this domain appears to be to bind galactose [ PUBMED:12796487 ], and it is normally located at the N terminus of these enzymes [ PUBMED:15526155 ]. It is associated with INTERPRO and INTERPRO . While all enzymes in this entry posses galactokinase activity, some are annotated as N-acetylgalactosamine kinases as they also posses this enzyme activity.

This domain can also be found in mevalonate kinase and related proteins from all domains of life. It can also be found in arabinose kinase from Arabidopsis [ PUBMED:10344205 ].

Pfam Clan

This family is a member of clan S5 (CL0329), which has the following description:

This superfamily contains a wide range of families that possess a structure similar to the second domain of ribosomal S5 protein.

The clan contains the following 18 members:

ChlI DNA_gyraseB DNA_mis_repair EFG_IV Fae GalKase_gal_bdg GHMP_kinases_N IGPD Lon_C LpxC Morc6_S5 Ribonuclease_P Ribosomal_S5_C Ribosomal_S9 RNase_PH Topo-VIb_trans UPF0029 Xol-1_N

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 logo

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.

Curation and family details

This section shows the detailed information about the Pfam family. You can see the definitions of many of the terms in this section in the glossary and a fuller explanation of the scoring system that we use in the scores section of the help pages.

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 PDBe group, to allow us to map Pfam domains onto UniProt sequences and three-dimensional protein structures. The table below shows the structures on which the GalKase_gal_bdg domain has been found. There are 95 instances of this domain found in the PDB. Note that there may be multiple copies of the domain in a single PDB structure, since many structures contain multiple copies of the same protein sequence.
