 EKRDomain of unknown function | |
|---|---|
| SMART ACC: | SM000890 |
| Description: | EKR is a short, 33 residue, domain found in bacterial and some lower eukaryotic species which lies between a POR (pyruvate ferredoxin/flavodoxin oxidoreductase) and the 4Fe-4S binding domain Fer4. It contains a characteristic EKR sequence motif. The exact function of this domain is not known. |

KEGG pathways involving proteins which contain this domain
This information is based on the mapping of SMART genomic protein database to KEGG orthologous groups. Percentages are related to the number of proteins containing a EKR domain which could be assigned to a KEGG orthologous group, and not all proteins containing EKR domains. Please note that proteins can be included in multiple pathways, ie. the numbers below will not add to 100%.
