Class:   Alpha and beta proteins (a/b) [ 51349] (141)
  Mainly parallel beta sheets (beta-alpha-beta units)
Fold:   Thiamin diphosphate-binding fold (THDP-binding) [ 52517]
  3 layers: a/b/a; parallel beta-sheet of 6 strands, order 213465
Superfamily:   Thiamin diphosphate-binding fold (THDP-binding) [ 52518] (8)
Families:   Pyruvate oxidase and decarboxylase Pyr module [ 88724] (8)
  the N-terminal, Pyr module is separated from the C-terminal, PP module by an alpha/beta domain of Rossmann-like topology
  TK-like Pyr module [ 88735] (2)
  different order of the modules, PP module is N-terminal, Pyr module is next to it followed by a Rossmann-like domain

Browse genome assignments for this superfamily. The SUPERFAMILY hidden Markov model library has been used to carry out SCOP domain assignments to all genomes at the superfamily level.


Alignments of sequences to 45 models in this superfamily are available by clicking on the 'Alignments' icon above. PDB sequences less than 40% identical are shown by default, but any other sequence(s) may be aligned. Select PDB sequences, genome sequences, or paste in or upload your own sequences.


Browse and view proteins in genomes which have different domain combinations including a Thiamin diphosphate-binding fold (THDP-binding) domain.


Examine the distribution of domain superfamilies, or families, across the major taxonomic kingdoms or genomes within a kingdom. This gives an immediate impression of how superfamilies, or families, are restricted to certain kingdoms of life.


Explore domain occurrence network where nodes represent genomes and edges are domain architectures (shared between genomes) containing the superfamily of interest.

There are 45 hidden Markov models representing the Thiamin diphosphate-binding fold (THDP-binding) superfamily. Information on how the models are built, and plots showing hydrophobicity, match emmission probabilities and insertion/deletion probabilities can be inspected.
