we have identified a conserved motif in the LOC118487 protein that we have called the CHCH motif. Alignment of this protein with related members showed the presence of three subgroups of proteins, which are called the S (Small), N (N-terminal extended) and C (C-terminal extended) subgroups. All three sub-groups of proteins have in common that they contain a predicted conserved [coiled coil 1]-[helix 1]-[coiled coil 2]-[helix 2] domain (CHCH domain). Within each helix of the CHCH domain, there are two cysteines present in a C-X9-C motif. The N-group contains an additional double helix domain, and each helix contains the C-X9-C motif. This family contains a number of characterised proteins: Cox19 protein - a nuclear gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, codes for an 11-kDa protein (Cox19p) required for expression of cytochrome oxidase. Because cox19 mutants are able to synthesise the mitochondrial and nuclear gene products of cytochrome oxidase, Cox19p probably functions post-translationally during assembly of the enzyme. Cox19p is present in the cytoplasm and mitochondria, where it exists as a soluble intermembrane protein. This dual location is similar to what was previously reported for Cox17p, a low molecular weight copper protein thought to be required for maturation of the CuA centre of subunit 2 of cytochrome oxidase. Cox19p have four conserved potential metal ligands, these are three cysteines and one histidine. Mrp10 - belongs to the class of yeast mitochondrial ribosomal proteins that are essential for translation [2]. Eukaryotic NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase 19 kDa (NDUFA8) subunit [3]. The CHCH domain was previously called DUF657 [4].

This domain of unknown function is found at the C terminal end of Mitochondrial small ribosomal subunit protein mS38, also known as Mitochondrial mRNA-processing protein COX24 in yeast which is involved in the splicing of the COX1 mRNA [1]. COX24 is a component of the mitochondrial ribosome (mitoribosome), responsible for the synthesis of mitochondrial genome-encoded proteins, including at least some of the essential transmembrane subunits of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The mitoribosomes are attached to the mitochondrial inner membrane and translation products are cotranslationally integrated into the membrane [2,3]. This domain is also found in COX24 mammalian homologue Aurora kinase A-interacting protein [4]. This entry also includes uncharacterised proteins from bacteria.
This domain contains a P-loop motif, also found in several other families such as Pfam:PF00071, Pfam:PF00025 and Pfam:PF00063. Elongation factor Tu consists of three structural domains, this plus two C-terminal beta barrel domains.

Elongation factor G (EF-G) catalyzes the translocation step of translation. It consists of five structural domains, this entry represents the second domain [1]. This domain adopts a beta barrel structure. This family also includes domains found in other translation factors such as translation initiation factor IF-2, peptide chain release factor, etc.
IF-2 is a translation initiator in each of the three main phylogenetic domains (Eukaryotes [1], Bacteria [2] and Archaea [3]). IF2 interacts with formylmethionine-tRNA, GTP, IF1, IF3 and both ribosomal subunits [2]. Through these interactions, IF2 pr ...
IF-2 is a translation initiator in each of the three main phylogenetic domains (Eukaryotes [1], Bacteria [2] and Archaea [3]). IF2 interacts with formylmethionine-tRNA, GTP, IF1, IF3 and both ribosomal subunits [2]. Through these interactions, IF2 promotes the binding of the initiator tRNA to the A site in the smaller ribosomal subunit and catalyses the hydrolysis of GTP following initiation-complex formation [2].
