AAI

Plant lipid transfer protein / seed storage protein / trypsin-alpha amylase inhibitor domain family
AAI
SMART accession number:SM00499
Description: -
Interpro abstract (IPR016140):

This entry represents a structural domain consisting of 4-helices with a folded leaf topology, and forming a right-handed superhelix. This domain occurs in several proteins, including:

  • Plant lipid-transfer proteins, such as the non-specific lipid-transfer proteins ns-LTP1 and ns-LTP2 [ (PUBMED:10491104) (PUBMED:12011089) ].
  • Proteinase/alpha-amylase inhibitors, such as trypsin/alpha-amylase inhibitor RBI from Eleusine coracana (Indian finger millet) [ (PUBMED:9687373) ] and Hageman factor/amylase inhibitor from Zea mays (Maize) [ (PUBMED:9799488) ].
  • Seed storage proteins, such as napin from Brassica napus (Rape) [ (PUBMED:8961930) ] and 2S albumin from Ricinus communis (Castor bean) [ (PUBMED:14636051) ].
