Abstract

Acylphosphatase is an enzyme of approximately 98 amino acid residues that specifically catalyses the hydrolysis of the carboxyl-phosphate bond of acylphosphates [PubMed1664426], its substrates including 1,3-diphosphoglycerate and carbamyl phosphate [PubMed2538623]. The enzyme has a mainly beta-sheet structure with 2 short alpha-helical segments. It is distributed in a tissue-specific manner in a wide variety of species, although its physiological role is as yet unknown [PubMed2538623]: it may, however, play a part in the regulation of the glycolytic pathway and pyrimidine biosynthesis [PubMed2830253]. There are two known isozymes. One seems to be specific to muscular tissues, the other, called 'organ-common type', is found in many different tissues. While bacterial and archebacterial hypothetical proteins that are highly similar to that enzyme and that probably possess the same activity.

These proteins include:

  • Escherichia coli putative acylphosphatase (acylphosphate phosphohydrolase) (gene yccX).
  • Bacillus subtilis putative acylphosphatase (acylphosphate phosphohydrolase) (gene yflL).
  • Archaeoglobus fulgidus hypothetical protein AF0818.

Browse genome assignments for this superfamily. The SUPERFAMILY hidden Markov model library has been used to carry out SCOP domain assignments to all genomes at the superfamily level.


Alignments of sequences to 10 models in this superfamily are available by clicking on the 'Alignments' icon above. PDB sequences less than 40% identical are shown by default, but any other sequence(s) may be aligned. Select PDB sequences, genome sequences, or paste in or upload your own sequences.


Browse and view proteins in genomes which have different domain combinations including a Acylphosphatase/BLUF domain-like domain.


Examine the distribution of domain superfamilies, or families, across the major taxonomic kingdoms or genomes within a kingdom. This gives an immediate impression of how superfamilies, or families, are restricted to certain kingdoms of life.


Explore domain occurrence network where nodes represent genomes and edges are domain architectures (shared between genomes) containing the superfamily of interest.

There are 10 hidden Markov models representing the Acylphosphatase/BLUF domain-like superfamily. Information on how the models are built, and plots showing hydrophobicity, match emmission probabilities and insertion/deletion probabilities can be inspected.
