PROSITE documentation PDOC00841
Hydrogenases expression/synthesis hupF/hypC family signature


Description

Bacterial membrane-bound nickel-dependent hydrogenases require a number of gene products for their expression and/or synthesis [1]. Among these genes, there is a group that codes for a family of small proteins (from 80 to 110 residues). The proteins that are known to belong to this family are:

  • Alcaligenes eutrophus and Azotobacter vinelandii hoxL and hypC.
  • Rhizobium leguminosarum and Rhodobacter capsulatus hupF and hypC.
  • Escherichia coli hypC and hybG.
  • Methanococcus jannaschii hypothetical protein MJ0200.

All these proteins start with a conserved Met-Cys dipeptide.
