Cache_2

Cache_2
SMART accession number:SM01049
Description: Cache is an extracellular domain that is predicted to have a role in small-molecule recognition in a wide range of proteins, including the animal dihydropyridine-sensitive voltage-gated Ca2+ channel; alpha-2delta subunit, and various bacterial chemotaxis receptors. The name Cache comes from CAlcium channels and CHEmotaxis receptors. This domain consists of an N-terminal part with three predicted strands and an alpha-helix, and a C-terminal part with a strand dyad followed by a relatively unstructured region. The N-terminal portion of the (unpermuted) Cache domain contains three predicted strands that could form a sheet analogous to that present in the core of the PAS domain structure. Cache domains are particularly widespread in bacteria, with Vibrio cholerae. The animal calcium channel alpha-2delta subunits might have acquired a part of their extracellular domains from a bacterial source (PUBMED:11084361). The Cache domain appears to have arisen from the GAF-PAS fold despite their divergent functions (PUBMED:11292341).
Interpro abstract (IPR033480):

Cache is an extracellular domain that is predicted to have a role in small-molecule recognition in a wide range of proteins, including the animal dihydropyridine-sensitive voltage-gated Ca2 channel alpha-2delta subunit, and various bacterial chemotaxis receptors. The name Cache comes from CAlcium channels and CHEmotaxis receptors.

The Cache domain, also known as the extracellular PAS domain, consists of an N-terminal part with three predicted strands and an alpha-helix, and a C-terminal part with a strand dyad followed by a relatively unstructured region. The N-terminal portion of the Cache domain containing the three predicted strands could form a sheet analogous to that present in the core of the PAS domain structure. Cache domains are particularly widespread in bacteria, such as Vibrio cholerae. The animal calcium channel alpha-2delta subunits might have acquired a part of their extracellular domains from a bacterial source [ (PUBMED:11084361) ]. The Cache domain appears to have arisen from the GAF-PAS fold, despite their divergent functions [ (PUBMED:11292341) (PUBMED:27049771) ].

This entry represents the single Cache domain 2 (sCache_2), which contains the long N-terminal helix domain [ (PUBMED:27049771) ].
