PYNP_C

Pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase C-terminal domain
PYNP_C
SMART accession number:SM00941
Description: This domain is found at the C-terminal end of the large alpha/beta domain making up various pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylases (PUBMED:9817849), (PUBMED:2199449). It has slightly different conformations in different members of this family. For example, in pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase (PYNP, ) there is an added three-stranded anti-parallel beta sheet as compared to other members of the family, such as E. coli thymidine phosphorylase (TP, ) (PUBMED:9817849). The domain contains an alpha/ beta hammerhead fold and residues in this domain seem to be important in formation of the homodimer (PUBMED:9817849).
Interpro abstract (IPR013102):

This domain is found at the C-terminal end of the large alpha/beta domain making up various pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylases [ (PUBMED:9817849) (PUBMED:2199449) ]. It has slightly different conformations in different members of this family. For example, in pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase (PYNP, P77826 ) there is an added three-stranded anti-parallel beta sheet as compared to other members of the family, such as Escherichia coli thymidine phosphorylase (TP, P07650 ) [ (PUBMED:9817849) ]. The domain contains an alpha/ beta hammerhead fold and residues in this domain seem to be important in formation of the homodimer [ (PUBMED:9817849) ].
