PAW

domain present in PNGases and other hypothetical proteins
PAW
SMART accession number:SM00613
Description: present in several copies in proteins with unknown function in C. elegans
Interpro abstract (IPR006588):

The PAW domain (present in PNGases and other worm proteins) is found as a single copy at the C terminus of metazoan peptide:N-glycanase (PNGase) and in multiple copies in hypothetical Caenorhabditis elegans proteins peptide:N-glycanases (PNGases) [ (PUBMED:11779830) ]. The C-terminal PAW domain of PNGase binds to the mannose moieties of N-linked oligosaccharide chains [ (PUBMED:17088551) ].

The PAW domain is a slightly elongated molecule and displays a beta-sandwich architecture, which is composed of two layers, containing nine and eight antiparallel beta-strands, respectively, and three additional short helices [ (PUBMED:17088551) ].

Some proteins known to contain a PAW domain are listed below:

  • Animal peptide:N-glycanase (PNGase) EC 3.5.1.52 catalyses the deglycosylation of several misfolded N-linked glycoproteins by cleaving the bulky glycan chain before the proteins are degraded by the proteasome.
  • Caenorhabditis elegans putative uncharacterised protein C17B7.5.
GO process:glycoprotein catabolic process (GO:0006516)
