CBS domains are small intracellular modules that pair together to form a stable globular domain [2]. This family represents a single CBS domain. Pairs of these domains have been termed a Bateman domain [6]. CBS domains have been shown to bind ligands with an adenosyl group such as AMP, ATP and S-AdoMet [5]. CBS domains are found attached to a wide range of other protein domains suggesting that CBS domains may play a regulatory role making proteins sensitive to adenosyl carrying ligands. The region containing the CBS domains in Cystathionine-beta synthase is involved in regulation by S-AdoMet [4]. CBS domain pairs from AMPK bind AMP or ATP [5]. The CBS domains from IMPDH and the chloride channel CLC2 bind ATP [5].

This transmembrane domain is found in metal transporter proteins such as cyclin M 1/2 (CNNM). CNNMs are integral membrane proteins that are conserved from bacteria to humans. CNNM family members influence metal ion homeostasis through mechanisms that may not involve direct membrane transport of the ions. Structurally, CNNMs are complex proteins that contain an extracellular N-terminal domain preceding a transmembrane domain, a 'Bateman module', which consists of two cystathionine- beta-synthase (CBS) domains Pfam:PF00571, and a C-terminal cNMP (cyclic nucleotide monophosphate) binding domain [1, 2, 3, 4]. This entry describes the CNNM transmembrane domain which contains four hydrophobic regions and forms a dimer through hydrophobic contacts between TM2 and TM3, in which each chain is composed of three transmembrane helices (TM1-3), a pair of short helices exposed on the intracellular side, and a juxtamembrane (JM) helix that forms a belt-like structure [2,5]. The homodimer adopts an inward-facing conformation with a negatively charged cavity containing a conserved pi-helical turn in TM3 that coordinates a Mg2 ion [5].
